1
00:00:03,371 --> 00:00:04,972
Previously on The West Wing:

2
00:00:05,039 --> 00:00:08,476
AMY:
Honey, Simon Donovan
was shot and killed.

3
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:10,211
PRESIDENT:
You think the strike
against me is

4
00:00:10,278 --> 00:00:12,046
"nobody likes the smartest kid
in the class."

5
00:00:12,113 --> 00:00:15,316
It's not a strike
unless you watch
it as it sails by.

6
00:00:15,383 --> 00:00:17,418
I've been a soldier for 38 years

7
00:00:17,485 --> 00:00:23,957
and I've found an
enemy I can kill.

8
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:25,759
PRESIDENT:
We can make it look
like the plane went down

9
00:00:25,826 --> 00:00:27,295
but they're going
to find out it's us

10
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:28,729
and I'm going to be running
for reelection

11
00:00:28,796 --> 00:00:31,199
while I'm fighting a war
against Qumar.

12
00:00:31,265 --> 00:00:33,033
LEO:
You have two
minutes, sir.

13
00:00:33,101 --> 00:00:35,969
Take him.

14
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,338
( crowd cheering wildly )

15
00:00:37,405 --> 00:00:40,108
PRESIDENT:
You know the story about...

16
00:00:40,174 --> 00:00:44,445
( cheering and whistling
continue )

17
00:00:44,512 --> 00:00:46,180
There's a guy down here
holding a sign

18
00:00:46,247 --> 00:00:47,715
that says, "Eight More Years."

19
00:00:47,781 --> 00:00:49,583
Don't get me wrong,
I like your thinking

20
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:51,652
but I've probably
tested the Constitution

21
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,821
about as far
as Abbey's going to allow me
to

22
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,256
for a little while.

23
00:00:55,323 --> 00:00:57,525
( cheering and whistling )

24
00:00:58,726 --> 00:00:59,927
You know the story

25
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:02,596
about the guy whose car
gets stuck in a muddy hole.

26
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:03,831
A farmer comes along

27
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,933
and says he'll pull the car
out of the mud

28
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:08,068
but he's going to have
to charge 50 bucks

29
00:01:08,136 --> 00:01:09,537
'cause this is the tenth time

30
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,639
he's had to pull it
out of the mud today.

31
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:13,441
The driver says,
"God, when do you have time

32
00:01:13,507 --> 00:01:14,908
to plow your land, at night?"

33
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:16,344
The farmer says, "No, no.

34
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:18,312
Nighttime is when I
fill the hole with water."

35
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,181
( laughing )

36
00:01:20,248 --> 00:01:22,983
We need to find energy
alternatives.

37
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:24,152
We're getting our cue.

38
00:01:24,218 --> 00:01:25,286
We're getting it right now.

39
00:01:25,353 --> 00:01:26,987
The Republicans are busy.

40
00:01:27,054 --> 00:01:30,324
They're trying to convince us
that they care about new energy

41
00:01:30,391 --> 00:01:32,426
and that they're not
in the vest pockets of big oil

42
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:33,961
and that's a tough sell.

43
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:37,765
I don't envy them,
'cause their only hope is

44
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,567
that we don't notice
that they're the ones

45
00:01:39,633 --> 00:01:41,269
who are filling the hole
with water every night

46
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:43,671
and I think Americans
are smarter than that.

47
00:01:43,737 --> 00:01:44,705
I think we noticed.

48
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:46,274
( cheering )

49
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:55,616
Where are Josh and Toby?

50
00:01:55,683 --> 00:01:57,518
They're in the soybean fields,
talking to Cathy.
Cathy...?

51
00:01:57,585 --> 00:01:59,019
The daughter,
but I like saying

52
00:01:59,086 --> 00:02:00,754
Toby and Josh are
in the soybean fields.

53
00:02:00,821 --> 00:02:02,390
He's wrapping up and we're
getting right in the car.

54
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:04,057
We're already late
for Unionville.

55
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,526
I'll get them
from the soybean fields.

56
00:02:05,593 --> 00:02:07,195
Thanks.
PRESIDENT:
This isn't a time

57
00:02:07,261 --> 00:02:08,896
for people
whose doomsday scenario is

58
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:11,499
a little less at the pump
for Texaco and Shell.

59
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:13,567
This isn't the time
for people who say

60
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:16,136
there aren't
any energy alternatives

61
00:02:16,204 --> 00:02:18,372
just because they can't think
of any.

62
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:20,808
This is a time
for American heroes

63
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:22,476
and we reach for the stars.

64
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:26,180
( cheering and whistling )

65
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:32,886
( distant cheering )

66
00:02:32,953 --> 00:02:35,122
CATHY:
He seems a
little tense.

67
00:02:35,189 --> 00:02:36,390
JOSH:
Yeah. Yeah.

68
00:02:36,457 --> 00:02:37,525
Why?

69
00:02:37,591 --> 00:02:39,427
Because the
President's speaking.

70
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,794
Why aren't
you there?

71
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:42,129
It's tough to explain.

72
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:43,197
No, it's not.

73
00:02:43,264 --> 00:02:44,932
Shh.

74
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:49,036
( President continues
speaking indistinctly )

75
00:02:49,102 --> 00:02:50,938
Okay.

76
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:53,574
JOSH:
The President has his blood
pressure taken every morning.

77
00:02:53,641 --> 00:02:56,109
On higher blood pressure days,
Toby's not allowed to be

78
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,446
in the President's sight
line while he's speaking.

79
00:02:58,512 --> 00:02:59,313
( chuckling ):
Why?

80
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:00,681
Stepped on it.

81
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:02,216
He has trouble concealing
his displeasure.

82
00:03:02,283 --> 00:03:04,184
Stepped on it
and he knows it, too.

83
00:03:04,252 --> 00:03:05,653
Look...

84
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,290
What do I say to people who ask
why we subsidize farmers

85
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:11,325
when we don't
subsidize plumbers?

86
00:03:11,392 --> 00:03:13,994
Tell them they can
pay $7 for a potato.

87
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,663
( chuckling ):
Okay.

88
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:18,165
This is 200 acres
of soy fields.

89
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:20,067
It nets my family
$30 an acre

90
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:21,435
which is $6,000 a year.

91
00:03:21,502 --> 00:03:22,770
Shh.

92
00:03:22,836 --> 00:03:24,204
( President continues
indistinctly )

93
00:03:24,272 --> 00:03:25,773
Okay.

94
00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:28,576
Toby...
TOBY:
I worked
with the Conference Committee

95
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:30,278
to increase payment
limits for small farmers

96
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:31,679
and we'd have done it, too

97
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:33,847
but no one could agree
what "small" meant.

98
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:35,082
DONNA:
Josh!

99
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:37,050
I think we better
head back.

100
00:03:37,117 --> 00:03:38,352
He's wrapping up.

101
00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:40,187
CATHY:
You seem pissed that
I brought it up.

102
00:03:40,254 --> 00:03:41,355
TOBY:
No, we're just talking.

103
00:03:41,422 --> 00:03:42,390
We've really got
to go now.

104
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:43,857
Donna's a little nervous.

105
00:03:43,924 --> 00:03:45,559
A couple of weeks ago,
some guys got left behind

106
00:03:45,626 --> 00:03:46,860
by the motorcade in Kentucky.

107
00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:47,828
It was in Tennessee

108
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:49,330
and they were never heard
from again.

109
00:03:49,397 --> 00:03:50,431
They took a cab.

110
00:03:50,498 --> 00:03:51,965
Look...
I think the real point is

111
00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:54,234
whatever Toby and the
Conference Committee...

112
00:03:54,302 --> 00:03:56,437
whatever definition
they came up with

113
00:03:56,504 --> 00:03:59,873
would've just created more
business for the lawyers of
the big farm corporations.

114
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:01,909
I wish we could've had more time
to talk, but...

115
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:03,677
There's no way you guys
could stay a little

116
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:05,346
meet some people...
maybe catch up

117
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:06,680
with the campaign
at the next stop?

118
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:08,382
Nah, we've got one more stump
in Unionville

119
00:04:08,449 --> 00:04:09,583
and then we get
on the plane.

120
00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:11,151
It's a full schedule
at the office.

121
00:04:11,218 --> 00:04:13,020
We've got some voters here,
Josh-- did you forget?

122
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,221
No.

123
00:04:14,288 --> 00:04:15,222
They're voting
for Ritchie.

124
00:04:15,289 --> 00:04:16,290
What?

125
00:04:16,357 --> 00:04:18,158
Indiana's voting
for Ritchie.

126
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:21,695
If there was someone
less competent than
Ritchie on the ballot

127
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,631
that's who Indiana'd
be voting for.

128
00:04:23,697 --> 00:04:25,165
Why'd you come out here?

129
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:26,534
When somebody can give me
an answer to that question

130
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,435
I'll let you know.

131
00:04:27,501 --> 00:04:29,102
Toby...
Listen...

132
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:31,539
write off Indiana, but don't
write off the small farmers.

133
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,741
It's getting bad out here.
It is bad out here.

134
00:04:33,807 --> 00:04:37,244
We paid farmers $67 billion
over the last three years.

135
00:04:37,311 --> 00:04:39,347
( sighing ):
Oh, God.

136
00:04:41,482 --> 00:04:44,418
You want
to lighten up a little?

137
00:04:44,485 --> 00:04:45,586
I am lightened up.

138
00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:47,220
This is me lightened up.

139
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,322
You're saying lighter?

140
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:49,990
Yeah.
Okay.

141
00:04:50,057 --> 00:04:53,160
CATHY:
Josh... the $67 billion
bought this country

142
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:55,629
the least expensive food
and the greatest variety
of it in the world

143
00:04:55,696 --> 00:04:57,264
and surely that's
got to register...

144
00:04:57,331 --> 00:04:58,599
Hang on.

145
00:04:58,666 --> 00:04:59,900
And it's got
to register...

146
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:01,268
No... she's right.

147
00:05:01,335 --> 00:05:04,372
Where is it?

148
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:06,173
Where's the motorcade?

149
00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:07,541
Hey, excuse me.

150
00:05:07,608 --> 00:05:09,543
Where's the motorcade?

151
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:10,878
It's out there.

152
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:13,981
Hey!

153
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,716
Hey!

154
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:23,290
You guys need a button?

155
00:05:23,357 --> 00:05:25,493
"Bartlet for America."

156
00:06:11,905 --> 00:06:14,608
we got to get the trailer car.
Hang on.

157
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:16,209
Call Campaign Scheduling
and Advance and tell them...

158
00:06:16,276 --> 00:06:17,778
Hang on.

159
00:06:17,845 --> 00:06:19,613
You got to hang up with
whoever you're talking to.

160
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,615
Call Campaign Scheduling
and Advance...

161
00:06:21,682 --> 00:06:24,418
Unless you're already
talking to Campaign
Scheduling and Advance.

162
00:06:24,485 --> 00:06:25,986
Thank you.
There is no trailer car today.

163
00:06:26,053 --> 00:06:27,988
Really?
Yeah.

164
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:29,089
Good budget cut.
Good item.

165
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:30,223
( clears throat )

166
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,525
Cathy, where's
the closest cab?

167
00:06:31,592 --> 00:06:33,427
About 110 miles

168
00:06:33,494 --> 00:06:35,295
as the crow flies.
All right.

169
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:37,230
What's the best way
for me to get these
guys to Unionville?

170
00:06:37,297 --> 00:06:38,932
We'll take you.
Really?

171
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:41,368
Yeah. It'll give me a chance
to show you the soy diesel car.

172
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:44,505
Okay, this car...
it can...

173
00:06:44,572 --> 00:06:45,873
It's a regular car.

174
00:06:45,939 --> 00:06:46,707
Toby!

175
00:06:46,774 --> 00:06:48,141
It's actually Cap's car.

176
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:49,977
He'll come along.
Meet us in back of the house.

177
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:52,813
Thank you very much.

178
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,514
Who's Cap?

179
00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:54,448
I don't know.

180
00:06:54,515 --> 00:06:55,148
Toby!

181
00:06:55,215 --> 00:06:56,016
Yeah?

182
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:57,451
JOSH:
We got a ride.

183
00:06:57,518 --> 00:06:58,652
Excuse me.
Yes?

184
00:06:58,719 --> 00:07:00,554
You heard the speech,
right?
Oh, yes.

185
00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:02,990
The section on HMOs,
did he land it?

186
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:04,057
I'm sorry?

187
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:05,526
He didn't, did he?

188
00:07:05,593 --> 00:07:07,461
I thought he
was very good.

189
00:07:07,528 --> 00:07:08,562
The muddy hole joke?

190
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:10,564
JOSH:
Toby.
Okay, thank you.

191
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:11,799
Let's go.

192
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:15,836
Never heard from
again, Josh.

193
00:07:18,872 --> 00:07:20,373
MARGARET:
They're on their
way to Unionville.

194
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,742
Is the First Lady still
in Madison?

195
00:07:21,809 --> 00:07:23,043
I'm pretty sure.
I'll check.

196
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:24,678
Tell me again
when the President's back.

197
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:25,946
3:00, wheels down.

198
00:07:26,013 --> 00:07:26,780
What's his first?

199
00:07:26,847 --> 00:07:28,281
Treasurer of the
United States

200
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:29,650
not to be confused
with Treasury Secretary.

201
00:07:29,717 --> 00:07:31,519
The Treasurer
of the United States deals

202
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:32,686
with the color of money.

203
00:07:32,753 --> 00:07:35,055
What's the meeting about?

204
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:36,423
Color currency.

205
00:07:36,490 --> 00:07:38,692
Push it and push his meeting
on health and fitness.

206
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:40,227
I want the Trade Rep

207
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,463
and as many of the economic
advisors as we can at the 3:30.

208
00:07:43,531 --> 00:07:45,165
Speaking of health
and fitness...

209
00:07:45,232 --> 00:07:46,166
Oh, merciful God.

210
00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:47,267
What did you have for...?

211
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:48,435
I had half a grapefruit.

212
00:07:48,502 --> 00:07:49,436
Really?

213
00:07:49,503 --> 00:07:50,638
You think I'm lying?

214
00:07:50,704 --> 00:07:51,338
No.

215
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:52,873
Okay.

216
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:53,907
Yes.

217
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:55,843
I'll be in the Sit Room
for a minute.

218
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:59,079
I'd like him when he's done
at the site.

219
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,288
Good morning.

220
00:08:08,355 --> 00:08:11,391
Leo.
Morning, Leo.
Good morning, Leo.

221
00:08:11,458 --> 00:08:13,460
The Dow's down 260.

222
00:08:13,527 --> 00:08:14,595
Is it going
to rebound?

223
00:08:14,662 --> 00:08:15,929
What do I know?

224
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:17,698
Could somebody get me
half a grapefruit?

225
00:08:17,765 --> 00:08:21,669
I got Jack LaLanne working
for me this week.

226
00:08:21,735 --> 00:08:23,871
Let's go around the table
for the quicksheet.

227
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:26,807
A small force of North
Korean soldiers may stage

228
00:08:26,874 --> 00:08:28,508
an incursion into the DMZ.

229
00:08:28,576 --> 00:08:31,144
That's a reaction
to the President's trip
to Seoul, right?

230
00:08:31,211 --> 00:08:32,445
Yeah.
Okay.

231
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:33,814
South America?

232
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:35,716
General Garcia
has declared himself

233
00:08:35,783 --> 00:08:37,551
in rebellion
against Carlos Velasco.

234
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,052
Is Velasco's government
in danger

235
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:41,622
or is this just another
crazy general with guns?

236
00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:42,790
No offense, Fitz.

237
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,224
Yeah.

238
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:46,393
The Venezuela Desk still says
wait'll Garcia calls

239
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:48,528
for the elections.
Okay. Africa.

240
00:08:48,596 --> 00:08:49,963
The government of Mozambique
is requesting

241
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:51,932
a peacekeeping force
to help distribute grain.

242
00:08:51,999 --> 00:08:54,334
A peacekeeping force
to distribute grain.

243
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:55,402
Yes, sir.

244
00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:56,637
Middle East.

245
00:08:56,704 --> 00:08:57,905
Nothing really.

246
00:08:57,971 --> 00:08:59,607
We got a communiqué
from the new Ambassador.

247
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:01,108
To where?
I'm sorry.

248
00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:03,076
Qumar.

249
00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:05,245
About what?

250
00:09:05,312 --> 00:09:07,347
Well, a month ago, they
reopened the investigation

251
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:08,415
into Shareef's
missing plane.

252
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:09,917
They find anything?

253
00:09:09,983 --> 00:09:11,685
I don't know, but the Emergency
Locator Transmitter

254
00:09:11,752 --> 00:09:12,886
never went off, so...

255
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:14,087
Yeah.

256
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:15,689
FITZWALLACE:
We'll assemble
all the military

257
00:09:15,756 --> 00:09:17,357
rescue efforts
and feed them into State.

258
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:19,660
They can give the Ambassador
and the Sultan another report.

259
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:21,361
Yeah. All right.

260
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:22,930
Eastern Europe.

261
00:09:22,996 --> 00:09:25,065
Warsaw transit workers are
threatening to go on strike.

262
00:09:25,132 --> 00:09:26,333
Why?

263
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,638
Well, they haven't been
paid in four months.

264
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:34,141
Whoa, whoa,
you're not supposed to be here.

265
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,743
Yeah, I just wanted
to check with...

266
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:36,744
The orders were
very strict.

267
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,011
I just...
Hey, go home.

268
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:39,246
I am.

269
00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:41,114
You haven't had a day off
since the Convention.

270
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:42,582
You've been up
the past two nights

271
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:43,583
and I don't want a zombie.

272
00:09:43,651 --> 00:09:44,952
Right.

273
00:09:45,018 --> 00:09:46,754
The energy book is done;
the Midwest poll is out.

274
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:49,589
Pawn off the surrogate
movements and get
a few hours sleep.

275
00:09:49,657 --> 00:09:51,892
I just came to check
on the Southern Governors.

276
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,027
Somebody's got
to be watching the politics.

277
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,596
Somebody is-- the White House
Office of Political Affairs.

278
00:09:56,664 --> 00:09:57,931
Where is he?

279
00:09:57,998 --> 00:10:00,600
He's about to go
on at Ft. Bristol.

280
00:10:00,668 --> 00:10:02,602
You know
the Dow's down 270.

281
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:04,471
Go to sleep.

282
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:06,373
I'm not fighting with you.

283
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:13,246
( plane engine whining )

284
00:10:18,385 --> 00:10:20,754
BRUNO:
He should remind them
about the military pay raise.

285
00:10:20,821 --> 00:10:21,755
C.J.:
He won't.

286
00:10:21,822 --> 00:10:22,756
He should.
He won't.

287
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:24,191
Of course not.

288
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:25,525
We're adding a hundred
outpatient clinics

289
00:10:25,592 --> 00:10:26,694
to the VA hospitals.

290
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,228
Is he going
to mention...?
No.

291
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:29,629
Of course not. Military
housing upgrades?

292
00:10:29,697 --> 00:10:30,630
Bruno...

293
00:10:30,698 --> 00:10:31,965
He should say

294
00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:34,367
"We don't give
these people anything.

295
00:10:34,434 --> 00:10:35,736
They earn it." Yeah?

296
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:37,604
Gehrman-Driscoll announced
before the bell

297
00:10:37,671 --> 00:10:39,006
it was filing
for bankruptcy;

298
00:10:39,072 --> 00:10:40,908
an hour later,
Jennings-Pratt and DWA.

299
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,642
They had exposure
in the fund?

300
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:44,344
Yeah.
I'm amazed
it's only down 270.

301
00:10:44,411 --> 00:10:46,313
It's early.

302
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,514
That's what you want
to say to me?

303
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:48,716
BRUNO:
Mr. President...

304
00:10:48,782 --> 00:10:49,950
Driscoll announced
it was filing

305
00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:52,019
and Jennings and DWA
are in the fund.

306
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:54,454
Pay raises, military housing,
outpatient clinics.

307
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:56,824
It's against the law to
campaign on a military base.

308
00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:58,091
Yes, technically.

309
00:10:58,158 --> 00:10:59,092
No, legally.

310
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,528
Sir...
These army guys
are DRF-1.

311
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:02,629
They're Division Ready.

312
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:03,997
They can be deployed
in two hours.

313
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:05,665
These Navy guys are
going to deploy overseas

314
00:11:05,733 --> 00:11:06,767
for six months.

315
00:11:06,834 --> 00:11:08,769
Yes, sir.
I didn't realize...

316
00:11:08,836 --> 00:11:11,371
C-bag and M-16, they're
on a C-130, going
wherever I tell them.

317
00:11:11,438 --> 00:11:13,240
And that's when
their wives are told.

318
00:11:13,306 --> 00:11:15,008
I don't want to screw
around with them.

319
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,144
I didn't realize
they were Division Ready.
Yeah.

320
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:19,679
You-You-You could
always wink an-and...

321
00:11:19,747 --> 00:11:20,848
( march music continuing )

322
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:22,015
I'm kidding.
That was a joke.

323
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:23,483
I kid because I love.

324
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:26,519
MAN:
...the President
of the United States.

325
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:28,655
( cheering wildly )

326
00:11:28,722 --> 00:11:30,557
Good morning.
We haven't met.

327
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:32,259
I'm your Commander in Chief.

328
00:11:32,325 --> 00:11:33,626
( laughing )

329
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,062
It's just a regular
diesel engine.

330
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,363
There's no retrofitting.

331
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:38,932
The glow plugs heat up the fuel,
but from there

332
00:11:38,999 --> 00:11:40,700
the soy diesel just keeps
exploding on itself

333
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:42,235
like any engine.

334
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:43,370
You did it yourself?

335
00:11:43,436 --> 00:11:44,537
Aw, it's easy.

336
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:47,440
He's out there
right now.

337
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:48,441
He started.

338
00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:49,476
We really need

339
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:50,477
to get this guy to Unionville.

340
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:51,478
He's going to wig.

341
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:52,579
He's out there.

342
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,347
Take your mind off it.

343
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:56,449
Think about the lovely Cathy--
farmer's daughter

344
00:11:56,516 --> 00:11:58,118
with a master's degree?

345
00:11:58,185 --> 00:12:02,589
Wholesome but...
maybe not too wholesome.

346
00:12:02,655 --> 00:12:03,824
I think she liked you, too.

347
00:12:07,127 --> 00:12:08,661
How do you know Cathy?

348
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,964
She's my girlfriend.

349
00:12:13,801 --> 00:12:14,734
That's great.

350
00:12:14,802 --> 00:12:16,736
She's really nice.

351
00:12:16,804 --> 00:12:19,006
Is that corn out there?

352
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:19,539
Nope.

353
00:12:19,606 --> 00:12:20,540
What is it?

354
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:21,541
Trees.

355
00:12:21,608 --> 00:12:23,944
Okay.

356
00:12:24,011 --> 00:12:25,913
PRESIDENT:
So, what will I remember?

357
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:27,815
What will I tell
my grandchildren?

358
00:12:27,881 --> 00:12:31,151
I'll tell them that I stood
on the Great Wall of China

359
00:12:31,218 --> 00:12:32,920
and that I stood in the well

360
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:35,255
of the U.S. House
of Representatives.

361
00:12:35,322 --> 00:12:37,858
I'll tell them I sat
with kings and cardinals

362
00:12:37,925 --> 00:12:40,393
and made an appointment
to the Supreme Court

363
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:43,163
and I'll tell them
that one morning in September

364
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:44,832
I got to spend a few minutes

365
00:12:44,898 --> 00:12:47,100
with the men and women
of Air Wing One.

366
00:12:47,167 --> 00:12:49,336
God bless you and your families

367
00:12:49,402 --> 00:12:52,873
and may He continue
to shed His magnificent grace

368
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:55,308
upon the United States
of America.

369
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,643
Thank you so much.

370
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:58,812
( cheering and whistling )

371
00:13:03,683 --> 00:13:07,420
CHOIR:
* Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord *

372
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,789
* He has trampled out
the vintage *

373
00:13:09,857 --> 00:13:11,859
* Where the grapes of wrath
are stored... *

374
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:13,861
Charlie?
Yeah?

375
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:14,995
Leo McGarry for
the President.

376
00:13:15,062 --> 00:13:16,696
Thanks.
C.J.?

377
00:13:16,763 --> 00:13:18,999
( clearing throat ):
I need to talk to
you about something.

378
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:20,100
In a minute, okay?

379
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:21,869
I've got Leo
for the President.

380
00:13:21,935 --> 00:13:24,737
* ...Glory, glory hallelujah

381
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:30,677
* Glory, glory hallelujah...

382
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,079
You've got the President.

383
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:35,315
Good morning, sir.

384
00:13:35,382 --> 00:13:36,416
How's it going?

385
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:37,450
You tell me.

386
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:38,585
It feels good.

387
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,253
You know about the Dow?

388
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,522
Jennings-Pratt was in the fund?

389
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:43,623
Yeah.

390
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,092
It'll rebound.
Yeah.

391
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:47,127
No kidding,
it feels good out here.

392
00:13:47,194 --> 00:13:48,028
Good.

393
00:13:48,095 --> 00:13:49,629
What are you doing?

394
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:51,531
I'm going to meet
with Fitzwallace for a minute.

395
00:13:51,598 --> 00:13:52,432
About what?

396
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:53,700
Nothing.

397
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:55,602
You don't meet with Fitzwallace
about nothing.

398
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,470
Just something from the
quicksheet briefing.

399
00:13:57,537 --> 00:13:58,471
What?
Nothing.

400
00:13:58,538 --> 00:13:59,739
Leo...

401
00:13:59,806 --> 00:14:01,741
Qumar's reopened
the investigation.

402
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:04,912
* ...marching on

403
00:14:04,978 --> 00:14:05,913
* Glory, glory...

404
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:07,280
Mr. President?

405
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:08,615
Yeah, all right.

406
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,417
Well, we're coming home now.

407
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:11,751
Yes, sir.

408
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:13,753
* ...glory hallelujah

409
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:17,590
* Glory, glory hallelujah

410
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:22,495
* His truth is marching on.

411
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:24,031
( cheering )

412
00:14:29,669 --> 00:14:32,239
( engine thrumming )

413
00:14:46,153 --> 00:14:47,387
You sure we're not
taking you away

414
00:14:47,454 --> 00:14:49,122
from something
you need to be doing?

415
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:52,392
No. Actually, this is
on the way to my job.

416
00:14:52,459 --> 00:14:53,226
You have a second job?

417
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:55,695
I'm a claims adjuster.

418
00:14:55,762 --> 00:14:57,597
That's unusual,
isn't it?

419
00:14:57,664 --> 00:14:58,966
It has benefits.

420
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:00,567
You get to meet people?

421
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:06,006
No, I meant job benefits.
Health insurance.

422
00:15:06,073 --> 00:15:09,209
It covers your father.

423
00:15:09,276 --> 00:15:10,377
Uh-oh...

424
00:15:10,443 --> 00:15:13,013
What is it?
You guys are going to kill me.

425
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,214
Is it out of gas?

426
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:15,482
There's a gas station

427
00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:17,517
about a thousand yards
down the road.

428
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:18,718
Why are we slowing down?

429
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:20,653
Uh-oh.

430
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,455
Are we out of gas?
Diesel.

431
00:15:23,223 --> 00:15:26,126
Are we out of it?

432
00:15:27,527 --> 00:15:29,096
CATHY:
We're out of gas.
Diesel.

433
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:30,430
Nobody cares.

434
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:31,798
Cathy said there's
a gas station

435
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:33,000
about a thousand
yards down the road.

436
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:34,067
CAP:
They don't
have diesel.

437
00:15:34,134 --> 00:15:35,702
They don't have diesel.

438
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,137
Did we run out of gas

439
00:15:37,204 --> 00:15:39,572
because I said she was wholesome
but not too wholesome?

440
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:41,641
I can't make a car
run out of gas.

441
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:45,245
I don't know, you can make
glow plugs explode things.

442
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:46,479
Where's the closest diesel?

443
00:15:46,546 --> 00:15:48,048
About ten miles.

444
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:49,949
All right, can I
suggest this: we've
missed Unionville.

445
00:15:50,017 --> 00:15:51,684
We've got a little over an
hour till the plane leaves

446
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:53,286
and we can make it
if we call a volunteer

447
00:15:53,353 --> 00:15:54,854
and have them pick us
up at the gas station.

448
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:57,057
You guys can have the
tow truck meet you there.

449
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:58,325
Oh, we're not calling
a tow truck.

450
00:15:58,391 --> 00:15:59,993
It's just out of gas.
Diesel.

451
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:01,361
JOSH:
What are you
going to do?

452
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:03,163
We'll hitch to the farm
and pick some up.

453
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:04,697
Somebody's going to pick you up
out here?

454
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:08,235
( truck approaching )

455
00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:11,671
You guys run out of diesel?

456
00:16:11,738 --> 00:16:12,905
CAP:
Yeah.

457
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,007
Need a lift
back to the farm?

458
00:16:14,074 --> 00:16:15,208
CAP:
Thanks!

459
00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:16,909
Sy, these guys
work for Bartlet.

460
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,311
How you doing?

461
00:16:18,378 --> 00:16:20,080
Didn't vote for him
the first time.

462
00:16:20,147 --> 00:16:21,681
Don't plan to
the second time.

463
00:16:23,016 --> 00:16:24,317
Have a good trip back.

464
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:26,519
Remember some of that
stuff I said, okay?

465
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:28,221
Thanks for all the help.

466
00:16:33,126 --> 00:16:34,461
Okay, call the
State office.

467
00:16:34,527 --> 00:16:36,329
Tell them to send
a local volunteer.

468
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:37,964
Tell them we
don't have time...

469
00:16:38,031 --> 00:16:39,399
You're doing it, right?

470
00:16:39,466 --> 00:16:41,168
Yeah.

471
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:47,307
( birds chirping )

472
00:16:47,374 --> 00:16:50,110
This is fun.
We're roughing it.

473
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:52,679
( birds chirping )

474
00:16:54,447 --> 00:16:57,184
This is fun.

475
00:17:04,191 --> 00:17:06,459
The Chairman's here.
Thanks.

476
00:17:14,101 --> 00:17:16,303
( door closes )

477
00:17:17,804 --> 00:17:18,871
The tracks are covered.

478
00:17:18,938 --> 00:17:20,707
Yeah.

479
00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:21,974
We did a legitimate SAR

480
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:23,710
with the UK
and Royal Qumari Guard.

481
00:17:23,776 --> 00:17:26,879
This is a plane that went down
in the Bermuda Triangle.

482
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:28,215
Plain and simple.

483
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:29,416
And that really happens.

484
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:30,983
What do you mean?
The Bermuda Triangle.

485
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:33,553
Does it really happen?

486
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:36,989
I thought maybe it was
like Toscanini landing
in a cornfield.

487
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:39,226
Planes, boats,
about 200 of them--

488
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:41,394
including five
Navy Avenger Bombers

489
00:17:41,461 --> 00:17:43,996
and the rescue plane
that went in after them.

490
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:46,266
Is there a chance they're
going to find the plane?

491
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,335
We dismantled the ELT

492
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:51,604
left the plane in 27 pieces,
scattered among other wrecks

493
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:54,741
buried in underwater landslides
and limestone cliffs.

494
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:56,243
And if they find
the plane

495
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:59,379
there's still no evidence
of anything being anything.

496
00:17:59,446 --> 00:18:01,581
These were SEALs
and these were Special Ops

497
00:18:01,648 --> 00:18:03,616
and these guys
know what they're doing.

498
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:05,152
Okay.

499
00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:07,620
Let's obviously stay
in touch during the day.

500
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:08,688
Yeah.

501
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:12,659
Just out of curiosity

502
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,627
what do you think
would happen?

503
00:18:16,396 --> 00:18:18,531
I don't know what
would happen to you and me

504
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:21,100
but I'm pretty sure
the President would be invited

505
00:18:21,168 --> 00:18:22,635
to see the inside
of the Hague.

506
00:18:22,702 --> 00:18:25,372
Yeah, well, they can
invite all they want.

507
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:26,606
He ain't going.

508
00:18:26,673 --> 00:18:28,107
Perhaps this would be
a good time

509
00:18:28,175 --> 00:18:29,542
for you to reconsider
your position

510
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,544
on an international
war crimes tribunal.

511
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,513
Perhaps this would be
a good time

512
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:35,081
for you to...
Get out of your office.

513
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:36,916
Yeah.
Talk to you later.

514
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:38,318
Thank you.

515
00:18:45,358 --> 00:18:47,360
C.J.:
We've got a new addition
to our running list

516
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:49,462
of things Robert Ritchie's not.

517
00:18:49,529 --> 00:18:51,464
Speaking this morning at the
Philadelphia Financial Council

518
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,833
the Governor said,
"I'm no scientist, but I know

519
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,134
a thing or two about physics."

520
00:18:55,202 --> 00:18:56,703
So, for the week,
you can add "scientist"

521
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:59,105
to "doctor," "mind reader"
and "Chinese."

522
00:18:59,172 --> 00:19:00,773
C.J., do you have any idea

523
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,410
why there were women at the
First Lady's rally this morning

524
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:05,378
who were dressed in...
aprons and rolling pins?

525
00:19:05,445 --> 00:19:06,579
They were dressed
in rolling pins?

526
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,047
They were holding
them, I guess.

527
00:19:08,114 --> 00:19:09,849
This is
from the Milwaukee Sentinel.

528
00:19:09,916 --> 00:19:12,752
I don't know.
Find out, though, would you?

529
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:14,487
Is the President coming back
for questions?

530
00:19:14,554 --> 00:19:15,888
He's going to try,
but he's got to spend

531
00:19:15,955 --> 00:19:17,123
some time in his office

532
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:18,758
interviewing secretary
candidates.

533
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:21,027
Steak sandwiches for lunch.
I'll see you later.

534
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,230
PRESIDENT:
It's still mostly
transportation

535
00:19:23,296 --> 00:19:24,063
and technology?

536
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:25,698
And energy.

537
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:28,368
Have Josh and Toby weigh
in at some point, okay?

538
00:19:28,435 --> 00:19:30,002
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

539
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:31,604
Thank you,
Mr. President.

540
00:19:36,543 --> 00:19:37,310
Yeah.

541
00:19:37,377 --> 00:19:38,611
Sir, this is Meredith Walker.

542
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,347
Come on in.
Nice to meet you.

543
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:41,748
Likewise,
Mr. President.

544
00:19:41,814 --> 00:19:42,749
It's crazy, I know

545
00:19:42,815 --> 00:19:44,917
but sometimes
the schedule gets so tight

546
00:19:44,984 --> 00:19:47,654
that we have to schedule
meetings on the plane

547
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,857
so we ask you to fly with us
and hit you on the way back.

548
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:51,924
Yes, sir.

549
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:53,560
Were you impressed
by the plane?

550
00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:55,262
It's an airplane, sir.

551
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:56,763
I'm not very
easily impressed.

552
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:59,566
It's got an apartment
and an operating room.

553
00:19:59,632 --> 00:20:00,567
Yes, sir.

554
00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:02,669
Okay.

555
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:05,238
Well, you've met with
Donald McKittridge--

556
00:20:05,305 --> 00:20:07,106
he directs the Office
of Presidential Personnel.

557
00:20:07,173 --> 00:20:08,508
Yes.

558
00:20:08,575 --> 00:20:10,477
You had a moment
to meet with Charlie Young?
Yes.

559
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:12,612
He probably mentioned
that this was a job

560
00:20:12,679 --> 00:20:15,915
where you need to be able
to hold a lot of names and dates

561
00:20:15,982 --> 00:20:16,883
and numbers in your head.

562
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:18,050
Yes.

563
00:20:18,117 --> 00:20:19,286
You were told
what the pay scale is?

564
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:21,254
Yes.
And some of the perks?

565
00:20:21,321 --> 00:20:22,922
Like what?
Well, for instance

566
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:26,726
we have our own 747,
and it's flown by
an Air Force general.

567
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:29,562
Yes.

568
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:33,300
Okay, let's talk about
your last job.

569
00:20:33,366 --> 00:20:35,768
RADIO ANNOUNCER:
Forecast at 904 million bushels.

570
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:39,939
A 21% drop from last year to
1.14 billion bushels.

571
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:44,777
Production costs have risen to
$325 per acre of production.

572
00:20:44,844 --> 00:20:49,516
Total loss of production
represents over 600 million
dollars.

573
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:50,850
Good morning.
Good morning.

574
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:52,619
We're stranded
and waiting for a ride.

575
00:20:52,685 --> 00:20:53,953
Do you mind
if we wait here?

576
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:55,187
How did you get stranded?

577
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:57,357
Well, we work
for the President, actually

578
00:20:57,424 --> 00:20:58,725
and he was campaigning
nearby this morning and...

579
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:00,026
Oh, yeah.

580
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,328
...we got left behind
by the motorcade,
then our ride

581
00:21:01,394 --> 00:21:02,595
ran out of diesel...

582
00:21:02,662 --> 00:21:03,996
Didn't vote for him
the first time.

583
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:06,566
Don't plan on voting for him
the second time.

584
00:21:06,633 --> 00:21:08,835
Okay.

585
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:11,170
Well, we'll just wait outside,
if that's all right.

586
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:12,705
I don't like loitering.

587
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:18,445
Well, we'll just be
a few minutes, I'm sure.

588
00:21:18,511 --> 00:21:19,946
Can we just call ahead
and make sure

589
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:21,981
the plane's going to be there
when we get there?

590
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:22,882
It'll be there.

591
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:23,850
Will you call ahead?

592
00:21:23,916 --> 00:21:24,951
I've been calling.

593
00:21:25,017 --> 00:21:26,285
I can't get anyone
on their cell.

594
00:21:26,353 --> 00:21:27,387
They're in a bad
calling area.

595
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:28,855
Keep trying.

596
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:47,707
( loud clang )

597
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:49,842
See that?

598
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:53,813
( clang )

599
00:21:57,116 --> 00:21:58,050
First guy to miss?

600
00:21:58,117 --> 00:21:59,819
What's the bet?

601
00:21:59,886 --> 00:22:00,620
First guy to miss

602
00:22:00,687 --> 00:22:02,088
has to shave his beard.

603
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:12,965
For the rest of the day...

604
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:15,868
first guy to miss...

605
00:22:15,935 --> 00:22:18,471
anytime he says his name,
has got to follow it with

606
00:22:18,538 --> 00:22:20,740
"I work at the White House."

607
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:26,813
Alright.

608
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:30,950
But I don't think you've met
our current host.

609
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:32,452
Here we go.

610
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:35,455
( clang )

611
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:39,992
( clanging )

612
00:22:40,059 --> 00:22:44,864
You didn't say if you thought it
was a good event this morning.

613
00:22:44,931 --> 00:22:46,699
Well, I didn't
see the President
speak this morning.

614
00:22:46,766 --> 00:22:47,967
I know.

615
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:51,170
I was out there talking
with Cathy-- I was asked to.

616
00:22:51,237 --> 00:22:53,205
Yeah.

617
00:22:53,272 --> 00:22:54,541
I was.

618
00:22:54,607 --> 00:22:56,375
But you read the remarks.

619
00:22:56,443 --> 00:22:57,910
Yeah.

620
00:22:57,977 --> 00:22:59,979
( clanging )

621
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:01,681
What was your problem?

622
00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:03,550
You know what, Toby?

623
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:04,884
I don't want this to be

624
00:23:04,951 --> 00:23:07,186
a high blood pressure day
for me, either.

625
00:23:07,253 --> 00:23:09,088
( country music continues )

626
00:23:13,626 --> 00:23:15,127
( dull clattering )

627
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:24,904
( rock music on radio )

628
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,576
DONNA:
It's great
that you're volunteering, Tyler.

629
00:23:29,642 --> 00:23:31,077
You're not even old enough
to vote, and here you are

630
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:33,279
working for a campaign.
That's great.

631
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:34,313
They give us
school credit.

632
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:35,648
Well, good
for your school.

633
00:23:35,715 --> 00:23:37,149
I mean, that's not
the only reason

634
00:23:37,216 --> 00:23:38,017
I did it or anything.

635
00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:39,586
You like the President?

636
00:23:39,652 --> 00:23:41,087
Yeah, I think
he's okay.

637
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,322
I mean, most
of my friends
are for Ritchie.

638
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:44,657
Not that they're
that political

639
00:23:44,724 --> 00:23:45,925
or anything,
I guess

640
00:23:45,992 --> 00:23:47,359
but their parents
are for Ritchie

641
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:49,361
so, you know,
I guess...

642
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,831
Yeah.

643
00:23:56,736 --> 00:23:58,671
"He pretends there are
no energy alternatives

644
00:23:58,738 --> 00:24:01,608
'cause he can't
think of any."

645
00:24:01,674 --> 00:24:03,543
That wasn't in the
staff copy yesterday.

646
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,612
How did it make it
into the speech today?

647
00:24:05,678 --> 00:24:07,814
"He pretends there are
no energy alternatives

648
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,381
because he can't
think of any."

649
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,751
They. They can't
think of any.

650
00:24:11,818 --> 00:24:14,420
JOSH:
When we were
touring flood damage

651
00:24:14,487 --> 00:24:16,322
in Missouri
last Thursday

652
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:18,390
four times the
President said

653
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:19,992
"Emergency
management's
complex."

654
00:24:20,059 --> 00:24:21,160
It is complex.

655
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:22,328
What does that
matter to people

656
00:24:22,394 --> 00:24:23,429
who just lost
their house?

657
00:24:23,496 --> 00:24:24,864
Finding a place

658
00:24:24,931 --> 00:24:26,566
for their kids to sleep
tonight is complex.

659
00:24:26,633 --> 00:24:27,567
Thanks, 'cause I was
having a tough time

660
00:24:27,634 --> 00:24:29,335
prioritizing that one.

661
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:30,570
Sustainable growth in Michigan

662
00:24:30,637 --> 00:24:31,838
new economy in Ohio.

663
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:33,773
Information technology
in Pennsylvania.

664
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,642
That's what you talk about
in September.

665
00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:37,209
That's what we mapped out
a year ago.

666
00:24:37,276 --> 00:24:38,945
You and Bruno and the President
are calling audibles.

667
00:24:39,011 --> 00:24:40,813
That's 'cause
we're coming to the line

668
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,982
and we're seeing a hairdo
from Florida in pass coverage

669
00:24:43,049 --> 00:24:44,784
and so that's where we want
to put the ball...

670
00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:45,818
What's your concern?

671
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:47,119
I have any number of concerns

672
00:24:47,186 --> 00:24:48,521
not the least
of which is we'll lose.

673
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:50,056
I don't think so.
When did we decide

674
00:24:50,122 --> 00:24:51,858
to make this about being
the smartest kid in the class?

675
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:53,125
What meeting
did I miss?

676
00:24:53,192 --> 00:24:54,594
I have to pull
over for a minute.

677
00:24:54,661 --> 00:24:55,628
Let me tell you something.

678
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:58,397
What did he say?

679
00:24:58,464 --> 00:24:59,832
This will just take a minute.

680
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:00,633
Kiki!

681
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,102
TOBY:
What the hell... ?

682
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,671
You don't return
phone calls anymore.

683
00:25:04,737 --> 00:25:06,238
KIKI:
I return some.

684
00:25:06,305 --> 00:25:07,574
Thanks a lot.

685
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,941
You know, we have
to get back to school.

686
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:10,509
What about the stuff
I sent to your house?

687
00:25:10,577 --> 00:25:12,545
Yeah, could you
stop sending
stuff to my house?

688
00:25:12,612 --> 00:25:14,213
It's kind of creepy.

689
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,514
Yeah, you know what?

690
00:25:15,582 --> 00:25:17,383
Sue me, I guess,
'cause I love you.

691
00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:18,985
Place me
under arrest, Kiki.

692
00:25:19,051 --> 00:25:20,620
Let's everybody
do that.

693
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,521
Let's everybody
get a-a writ

694
00:25:22,589 --> 00:25:24,423
of injustice, lock me up
and throw the book.

695
00:25:24,490 --> 00:25:25,357
Tyler...

696
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:26,793
Just a second,
Mr. Lyman.

697
00:25:26,859 --> 00:25:28,761
You can't be creepy
stalking guy, okay?

698
00:25:28,828 --> 00:25:30,462
You're not that
guy, Tyler.

699
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:31,631
You're better
than that.

700
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:32,799
Not that much better.

701
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:34,166
Would you get in there?

702
00:25:34,233 --> 00:25:35,367
GIRL:
You have to
move on, Tyler.

703
00:25:35,434 --> 00:25:36,569
You have to live
in the now.

704
00:25:36,636 --> 00:25:37,837
You're totally
stressing her.

705
00:25:37,904 --> 00:25:39,505
Excuse me. I'm so sorry
to interrupt

706
00:25:39,572 --> 00:25:43,075
in what obviously is a private
moment between the two of you

707
00:25:43,142 --> 00:25:45,645
and your... two friends.

708
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:47,013
We came in this morning...

709
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:48,881
We know who you are.
We're not rednecks.

710
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:50,382
Okay. Well,
I'm Donna Moss

711
00:25:50,449 --> 00:25:51,550
and this is
my boss.

712
00:25:51,618 --> 00:25:52,719
Josh Lyman.

713
00:25:52,785 --> 00:25:54,086
Toby Ziegler.

714
00:25:54,153 --> 00:25:55,688
Anyway, we're very
crunched for time

715
00:25:55,755 --> 00:25:56,789
and we think that you...

716
00:25:56,856 --> 00:25:57,957
I work at the White House.

717
00:25:58,024 --> 00:25:59,391
GIRL #2:
Wow, humongous whoop.

718
00:25:59,458 --> 00:26:01,628
JOSH:
Come on. He's
Communications Director.

719
00:26:01,694 --> 00:26:03,896
It's a decent-sized whoop.

720
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:06,065
How many unborn babies did
you guys kill today?

721
00:26:06,132 --> 00:26:09,501
Whoa, hey, danger,
Will Robinson.

722
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:11,904
Tyler, no fooling around.

723
00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:13,139
We've got 15 minutes
to get to a plane

724
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:14,874
that is three miles
from here.

725
00:26:14,941 --> 00:26:16,776
That plane-- I swear to God--
is taking off at 1:00.

726
00:26:16,843 --> 00:26:18,144
It's taking off
at 1:00?

727
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:21,280
Yes, it is.
Are you guys stupid
or something?

728
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:22,448
It's 12:45.

729
00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:23,549
No, not here it's not.

730
00:26:23,616 --> 00:26:25,818
Oh, my God,
she's right.

731
00:26:25,885 --> 00:26:28,354
See, we crossed over
from Unionville

732
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:29,722
into Dearborn County

733
00:26:29,789 --> 00:26:31,691
which doesn't observe
Daylight Savings Time.

734
00:26:31,758 --> 00:26:33,359
GIRL:
I think it's
the other way
around, genius.

735
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:34,827
What did I ever do to you?

736
00:26:34,894 --> 00:26:37,063
DONNA:
It says on the schedule,
"All times are local."

737
00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:38,430
This is why I couldn't
get anyone on their cell.

738
00:26:38,497 --> 00:26:40,266
Wait, wait. No, no.
You're not...

739
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:41,600
We changed time zones?

740
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,570
We changed time...

741
00:26:44,637 --> 00:26:46,038
We changed time zones?!

742
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:47,473
TYLER:
It's a-a common mistake.

743
00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:48,941
Not for the U.S.
government!

744
00:26:49,008 --> 00:26:51,510
What kind of schmuck-ass
system can this possibly...

745
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:52,812
That's good!
That's perfect!

746
00:26:52,879 --> 00:26:54,280
How did... ?
I don't understand.

747
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:56,082
JOSH:
Perfect. Just the break
I'm looking for.

748
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:57,984
TOBY
What do... what do... ?
People, they just...

749
00:26:58,050 --> 00:27:00,019
They reset their watches
when they commute?

750
00:27:00,086 --> 00:27:01,487
I can't take
working here!

751
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:03,055
They just change their watches

752
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:04,791
every time
they cross a time zone?

753
00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:05,792
What is this, a joke?!

754
00:27:05,858 --> 00:27:07,059
JOSH:
Serving my country.

755
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,862
Okay, this is a
whole new thing now.

756
00:27:09,929 --> 00:27:10,897
My guys are
going to need

757
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:11,898
to walk this off
a little bit

758
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:13,332
before they
can regroup.

759
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:15,134
Kiki, you and
your friends get
back to school.

760
00:27:15,201 --> 00:27:16,803
Tyler, you and I
are going to come
up with a plan

761
00:27:16,869 --> 00:27:18,504
to get us to a
commercial airport.

762
00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:19,872
Okay.

763
00:27:19,939 --> 00:27:22,641
How long are they
going to be?

764
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,012
A couple
more minutes.

765
00:27:26,078 --> 00:27:29,015
Okay.

766
00:27:36,689 --> 00:27:37,623
( knock at door )

767
00:27:37,690 --> 00:27:38,324
CHARLIE:
C.J.?

768
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:39,291
Yeah.

769
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:40,326
You wanted to talk to me?

770
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:41,427
I'm sorry?

771
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:42,594
You said back
at the base

772
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:44,063
that you wanted
to talk to me.

773
00:27:44,130 --> 00:27:46,999
Oh, yeah. Listen,
I wanted to ask you something.

774
00:27:47,066 --> 00:27:49,668
Simon was a Big Brother
to a kid named Anthony Marcus.

775
00:27:49,736 --> 00:27:51,070
I met him a
couple of times.

776
00:27:51,137 --> 00:27:53,005
I've been trying
to spend a little time with him.

777
00:27:53,072 --> 00:27:54,373
He's not wild about me.

778
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,908
He's associating you
with Simon's death.

779
00:27:55,975 --> 00:27:57,276
I did that for a while

780
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,245
with some of the cops
my mom worked with.

781
00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:00,813
Yeah?

782
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,682
Well, he was arrested
for stealing a car.

783
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:05,451
He stole his homeroom
teacher's car

784
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:06,719
drove around
for a few hours

785
00:28:06,786 --> 00:28:08,554
and left it in front
of a strip club.

786
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:10,122
You could chalk it up
to a stupid prank

787
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:12,258
except Anthony had a string
of shoplifting incidents

788
00:28:12,324 --> 00:28:13,392
before Simon came along

789
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:14,593
so the ADA sees it

790
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:15,895
as an escalating problem
which is...

791
00:28:15,962 --> 00:28:17,396
Graduating from
a misdemeanor to a felony?

792
00:28:17,463 --> 00:28:19,966
Right, and she's pushing
juvenile detention.

793
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,433
I've spoken to her

794
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:25,071
and if a White House staffer
will play a role in his life

795
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:27,139
she's willing to reconsider.

796
00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:30,409
God, C.J....

797
00:28:30,476 --> 00:28:31,610
I know.

798
00:28:31,677 --> 00:28:33,512
I just got Deanna off to school.

799
00:28:33,579 --> 00:28:34,580
I know.

800
00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:35,581
And with the
campaign now

801
00:28:35,647 --> 00:28:36,983
the days are even longer.

802
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:38,717
I didn't even think
that was possible.

803
00:28:38,785 --> 00:28:39,886
I know, it was a long shot.

804
00:28:39,952 --> 00:28:40,987
I just don't think

805
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:42,321
I'm the right guy for the job.

806
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:43,222
C.J.?
Yeah?

807
00:28:43,289 --> 00:28:44,390
I'm sorry.

808
00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:45,657
I've got an answer
on the rolling pins.

809
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:47,426
Okay.

810
00:28:47,493 --> 00:28:49,996
I shouldn't have asked you.

811
00:28:50,062 --> 00:28:51,230
I'm glad you did.

812
00:28:51,297 --> 00:28:53,165
Listen, you're not just going

813
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:55,467
to ask the people
who look like me, right?

814
00:28:55,534 --> 00:28:57,236
'Cause a Big
Brother's a
Big Brother.

815
00:28:57,303 --> 00:28:58,404
It doesn't...

816
00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:59,671
Sam's next.

817
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:00,907
( phone ringing )

818
00:29:00,973 --> 00:29:02,274
Hi, it's Sam.

819
00:29:02,341 --> 00:29:04,343
I'm sleeping for a few hours
right now

820
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:07,146
so you can leave a message
or if you really need me

821
00:29:07,213 --> 00:29:09,849
you can shout into the machine,
and I'll wake up.

822
00:29:09,916 --> 00:29:12,051
JOSH ( shouting ):
Sam!

823
00:29:12,118 --> 00:29:13,452
( metal clanging )

824
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:14,620
It's all right.

825
00:29:14,686 --> 00:29:17,523
It's all right. Hang on.

826
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:19,859
No problem.

827
00:29:19,926 --> 00:29:21,093
Hi. Sorry.

828
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,594
No, I'm sorry, buddy.

829
00:29:22,661 --> 00:29:24,596
I know you're supposed
to be sleeping today.

830
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:25,932
No, it's no problem.

831
00:29:25,998 --> 00:29:26,999
What's going on?

832
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,367
I'm with Toby and Donna

833
00:29:28,434 --> 00:29:31,137
and we are stranded
somewhere in Indiana.

834
00:29:31,203 --> 00:29:33,505
You got left behind
by the motorcade?

835
00:29:33,572 --> 00:29:34,640
Yeah.

836
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:35,975
And then we ran out of gas

837
00:29:36,042 --> 00:29:37,676
and then there was a time zone
foul-up

838
00:29:37,743 --> 00:29:40,446
and also, we were waylaid
by some mean schoolgirls.

839
00:29:40,512 --> 00:29:42,882
Alpha girls, you know
what I'm saying?

840
00:29:42,949 --> 00:29:43,916
Josh.
They were.

841
00:29:43,983 --> 00:29:45,451
So, what are you doing now?

842
00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:47,486
We're getting a lift
to the Connersville Metro

843
00:29:47,553 --> 00:29:49,355
which is going to take us
to Indianapolis

844
00:29:49,421 --> 00:29:50,722
where we're going
to get a flight

845
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:51,858
to either Dulles

846
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:53,525
BWI or La Guardia.

847
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:55,461
Listen, if you want
to give me your call sheets

848
00:29:55,527 --> 00:29:57,329
and I can farm out
a few memos for you.

849
00:29:57,396 --> 00:29:59,698
I actually need you
to do more than that, Sam.

850
00:29:59,765 --> 00:30:01,267
I need you
to staff the President.

851
00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:02,869
He's got one of those days.

852
00:30:02,935 --> 00:30:04,036
I don't know

853
00:30:04,103 --> 00:30:05,337
what it is you do in there.

854
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:06,505
Yeah, you do.

855
00:30:06,572 --> 00:30:08,040
Anything ceremonial

856
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:10,609
security related or personal,
you leave the room.

857
00:30:10,676 --> 00:30:12,278
As it gets later in the day

858
00:30:12,344 --> 00:30:13,980
he's going to start
to talk to you.

859
00:30:14,046 --> 00:30:15,447
You're going to tell him

860
00:30:15,514 --> 00:30:17,683
how the meeting he just had
with his Council

861
00:30:17,749 --> 00:30:19,218
of Economic advisers relates

862
00:30:19,285 --> 00:30:21,720
to the meeting he had
with the Agriculture Secretary

863
00:30:21,787 --> 00:30:23,489
relates to his intelligence
briefing

864
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:24,823
relates to the environment

865
00:30:24,891 --> 00:30:26,758
relates to jobs,
relates to education

866
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:28,627
relates to the campaign.

867
00:30:28,694 --> 00:30:30,429
You're his wide-angle lens.

868
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:32,498
There are going
to be any number of areas

869
00:30:32,564 --> 00:30:34,200
in which I can't
give him expert advice.

870
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,767
Welcome to the club, partner.

871
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:39,438
We got jackets.

872
00:30:39,505 --> 00:30:40,672
All right.

873
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:42,274
I'm not going to let you down.

874
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:43,309
You never do.

875
00:30:45,611 --> 00:30:48,314
Get dressed... now.

876
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:50,416
Let's get to the
train station.

877
00:30:52,284 --> 00:30:54,453
You ever love so
much it hurts?

878
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,722
Like, physically hurts?

879
00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,524
Get in the car.

880
00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:00,226
PRESIDENT:
There's a tremendous amount

881
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:02,428
of information
you'll need to keep track of:

882
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:06,098
dates, names, numbers,
things I'm not good with.

883
00:31:06,165 --> 00:31:06,966
That's unusual, isn't it?

884
00:31:07,033 --> 00:31:07,900
What's that?

885
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:09,068
A man
of your intellect

886
00:31:09,135 --> 00:31:10,436
not being good
with names and numbers.

887
00:31:10,502 --> 00:31:12,404
Especially an economist
of your stature.

888
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:14,306
It's not intellect,
it's memory.

889
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:15,507
It's a different gift.

890
00:31:15,574 --> 00:31:16,508
A wonderful one.

891
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:17,376
I've never had it.

892
00:31:17,443 --> 00:31:19,178
There are exercises
you can do.

893
00:31:19,245 --> 00:31:22,614
Well... okay, I'll try
and find that time

894
00:31:22,681 --> 00:31:24,616
but let's get back to you.

895
00:31:24,683 --> 00:31:26,085
What would you say was the most

896
00:31:26,152 --> 00:31:27,719
challenging part
of working

897
00:31:27,786 --> 00:31:29,421
for the Ambassador
to France?

898
00:31:29,488 --> 00:31:32,124
The pliable relationship
the French have with time.

899
00:31:32,191 --> 00:31:33,759
Mmm.

900
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:35,061
Yes, sir?

901
00:31:35,127 --> 00:31:37,196
I make fun of the French
as much as anybody

902
00:31:37,263 --> 00:31:38,998
and I don't even know
what that meant.

903
00:31:39,065 --> 00:31:40,166
I meant...
Nah, that's okay.

904
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:41,267
I think you're
terrific

905
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:42,534
and I appreciate
you coming in

906
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:43,535
and talking to us.

907
00:31:43,602 --> 00:31:44,570
Thank you, sir.

908
00:31:44,636 --> 00:31:46,105
I look forward
to hearing from your office.

909
00:31:46,172 --> 00:31:47,539
Thanks again.

910
00:31:47,606 --> 00:31:48,707
I'll be right with you.

911
00:31:48,774 --> 00:31:49,708
Can you see Bruno?

912
00:31:49,775 --> 00:31:51,777
Yeah.

913
00:31:51,843 --> 00:31:53,312
Hey.

914
00:31:53,379 --> 00:31:55,514
You want some good news,
Mr. President?

915
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:57,950
Please. The market's down
425 points.

916
00:31:58,017 --> 00:31:59,185
Well, I think
it's going to rally

917
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:00,752
but even if it doesn't

918
00:32:00,819 --> 00:32:02,754
this one isn't
attributable
to anything...

919
00:32:02,821 --> 00:32:04,023
I know.
I'm saying...

920
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:06,358
425 points represents
billions of dollars

921
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:09,495
which aren't there anymore
heading into the fourth quarter

922
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:10,629
which is Christmas.

923
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:12,531
Well, I think it's
going to rally.

924
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:13,599
What's your good news?

925
00:32:13,665 --> 00:32:15,634
We've held or
made slight gains

926
00:32:15,701 --> 00:32:17,269
in almost all the polls.

927
00:32:17,336 --> 00:32:20,572
ABC/Washington Post,
Bartlet 50, Ritchie 44.

928
00:32:20,639 --> 00:32:23,909
I'm all right referring
to you colloquially?

929
00:32:23,976 --> 00:32:25,677
CBS/New York Times

930
00:32:25,744 --> 00:32:27,479
Bartlet 50,
Ritchie 43.

931
00:32:27,546 --> 00:32:31,117
NBC/Wall Street Journal,
Bartlet 49, Ritchie 43.

932
00:32:31,183 --> 00:32:32,718
You said almost all.

933
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:36,922
CNN/USA Today/Gallup,
Bartlet 46, Ritchie 45.

934
00:32:36,989 --> 00:32:38,024
Why does Gallup have it
a one-point race?

935
00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:39,458
It's 'cause...

936
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:40,759
'Cause they're polling
likely voters

937
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:41,793
and not registered
voters.

938
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,229
That's why

939
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:44,596
they're getting the
same numbers we do.

940
00:32:44,663 --> 00:32:45,897
Wait till the debates.

941
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:48,000
Election's in six weeks,
Mr. President.

942
00:32:48,067 --> 00:32:49,668
The world was created
in a lot less time.

943
00:32:49,735 --> 00:32:51,403
Well, one day
I'll buy you a beer

944
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:53,072
and you'll tell us all
how you did it.

945
00:32:53,139 --> 00:32:54,806
Thank you, sir.

946
00:32:54,873 --> 00:32:56,242
Bruno.

947
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:57,409
Yup.

948
00:32:57,476 --> 00:32:59,111
Yesterday, the First
Lady appeared on KCAL

949
00:32:59,178 --> 00:33:00,379
which is a local
L.A. station.

950
00:33:00,446 --> 00:33:01,847
She was asked about
the suspension

951
00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:02,948
of her medical license

952
00:33:03,015 --> 00:33:04,083
and she said
something like

953
00:33:04,150 --> 00:33:05,451
"I'm just a wife
and a mother."

954
00:33:05,517 --> 00:33:07,186
And that has been interpreted
in some circles

955
00:33:07,253 --> 00:33:08,620
as merely a wife and mother?

956
00:33:08,687 --> 00:33:10,689
This is Flint Aldridge, a
Southern Baptist radio host.

957
00:33:10,756 --> 00:33:13,192
"This is another sign
that Abbey Bartlet is

958
00:33:13,259 --> 00:33:14,593
a liberal elitist
feminist."

959
00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:15,694
Elitist, feminist--

960
00:33:15,761 --> 00:33:17,363
you can't do that
to the English language.

961
00:33:17,429 --> 00:33:18,430
And this is from
Janet Ritchie.

962
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:19,898
Janet Ritchie went
on the record?

963
00:33:19,965 --> 00:33:21,167
"Being a wife and mother

964
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:22,201
"are the most
rewarding roles

965
00:33:22,268 --> 00:33:23,335
"I've ever played.

966
00:33:23,402 --> 00:33:24,536
"I think Abbey
Bartlet and I

967
00:33:24,603 --> 00:33:25,904
have two different
ambitions."

968
00:33:25,971 --> 00:33:27,406
Ooh, she won $50.

969
00:33:27,473 --> 00:33:30,342
Said the magic word
right there-- ambition.

970
00:33:30,409 --> 00:33:31,443
Phylis Schlafly
and Ann Coulter

971
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:32,844
are going to have
a square dance.

972
00:33:32,911 --> 00:33:34,380
Anyway, it's waiting for
us down on the ground.

973
00:33:34,446 --> 00:33:35,847
Then let's stay up
here and have drinks.

974
00:33:35,914 --> 00:33:42,454
PILOT:
Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

975
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:43,722
Janet Ritchie really went
on the record?

976
00:33:43,789 --> 00:33:44,890
Yeah.

977
00:33:44,956 --> 00:33:49,895
I love it
when the women get involved.

978
00:33:49,961 --> 00:33:51,763
and I'm going to ask those
who are so inclined

979
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:54,166
to take their seats
and fasten their seat belts.

980
00:33:56,302 --> 00:33:57,436
SAM:
It's Bryce.

981
00:33:57,503 --> 00:33:58,804
Then it's Peter Lien
and a photo-op.

982
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,372
What's the photo-op?

983
00:34:00,439 --> 00:34:02,007
It's a man who's shaken the hand
of every President

984
00:34:02,074 --> 00:34:03,008
since Herbert Hoover.

985
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:04,276
All right.

986
00:34:04,343 --> 00:34:06,278
Do we have some
sort of condensed

987
00:34:06,345 --> 00:34:10,816
Reader's Digest index of...
well, all human knowledge?

988
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:12,284
We usually
just use Margaret.

989
00:34:12,351 --> 00:34:13,685
Okay, well, we'll have
to talk about that

990
00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:14,786
but we'll do it
another time.

991
00:34:14,853 --> 00:34:15,554
Yeah.

992
00:34:15,621 --> 00:34:16,588
Soon, though.

993
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:18,224
Why don't you
get me my notes

994
00:34:18,290 --> 00:34:19,158
from this morning's
speech in Bloomfield?

995
00:34:19,225 --> 00:34:20,692
I've got them out.

996
00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:24,496
Hey, were there women with
aprons and rolling pins

997
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:26,298
at a rally in Madison,
Wisconsin, this morning?

998
00:34:26,365 --> 00:34:27,299
Yeah.

999
00:34:27,366 --> 00:34:28,434
Why?

1000
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:30,536
Abbey Bartlet's a lesbian.

1001
00:34:32,037 --> 00:34:33,305
What the hell
does that mean

1002
00:34:33,372 --> 00:34:34,640
"I love it
when the women get involved"?

1003
00:34:34,706 --> 00:34:35,874
She's talking
to me, right?

1004
00:34:35,941 --> 00:34:37,243
Abbey...

1005
00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:39,278
I'm not talking about
Abbey and Janet Ritchie.

1006
00:34:39,345 --> 00:34:41,313
I'm talking about the women,
the voters

1007
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:43,081
continuing
their unbroken streak.

1008
00:34:43,149 --> 00:34:45,317
The biggest nonsense issue
in the campaign

1009
00:34:45,384 --> 00:34:46,918
will belong to the women.

1010
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:49,888
Does Abbey Bartlett
love her children?

1011
00:34:49,955 --> 00:34:52,524
Next week, Grandpa:
friend or foe?

1012
00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:54,960
This is not a woman's issue.

1013
00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:56,928
This is a dumb woman's issue.

1014
00:34:56,995 --> 00:34:59,131
I think anybody who's got
a five-point majority

1015
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:00,799
and still doesn't control
the agenda

1016
00:35:00,866 --> 00:35:02,668
might be spending
a little too much time

1017
00:35:02,734 --> 00:35:05,437
reading about how to get a man
over his fear of commitment.

1018
00:35:05,504 --> 00:35:08,106
Remind me to mention that to
the population of South Africa.

1019
00:35:08,174 --> 00:35:09,475
You know what?
In the scheme of things?

1020
00:35:09,541 --> 00:35:11,210
Took them about five minutes.

1021
00:35:11,277 --> 00:35:12,110
Can we start?

1022
00:35:12,178 --> 00:35:13,145
Yeah.

1023
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:14,180
Has anybody seen tape
on this?

1024
00:35:14,246 --> 00:35:15,181
C.J.:
I still haven't.

1025
00:35:15,247 --> 00:35:16,415
CAROL:
We're getting it.

1026
00:35:16,482 --> 00:35:18,016
She was asked
about her license.

1027
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:19,718
She said, "Right now,
I'm just a wife and a mother."

1028
00:35:19,785 --> 00:35:21,720
Option one is
we make a joke out of it.

1029
00:35:21,787 --> 00:35:23,389
BRUNO:
We make a
joke out of it?

1030
00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:25,257
What would we have to do to it
to make...?

1031
00:35:25,324 --> 00:35:27,893
Yeah, the rolling pins
took care of that.

1032
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:30,929
It is prêt-à-porter.
Remind to get
Josh in on this.

1033
00:35:30,996 --> 00:35:32,531
Option two?

1034
00:35:56,121 --> 00:35:58,190
It's Monday.

1035
00:35:58,257 --> 00:36:01,193
Yeah, why?

1036
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:02,394
Nothing. It was just
something I said.

1037
00:36:02,461 --> 00:36:03,329
All right, ten minutes.

1038
00:36:03,395 --> 00:36:06,164
We get the stuff to go.

1039
00:36:06,232 --> 00:36:08,934
( sighs )

1040
00:36:10,536 --> 00:36:11,270
Tyler?

1041
00:36:11,337 --> 00:36:12,738
Yes, sir?

1042
00:36:12,804 --> 00:36:13,872
What's a Hoosier?

1043
00:36:13,939 --> 00:36:16,342
A Hoosier's someone
from Indiana.

1044
00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:19,077
Afternoon.

1045
00:36:19,144 --> 00:36:21,079
Yes.

1046
00:36:21,146 --> 00:36:22,381
We'd like some
food to go.

1047
00:36:22,448 --> 00:36:23,882
What would you like?

1048
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:24,883
What's good?

1049
00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:25,984
Everything.

1050
00:36:26,051 --> 00:36:27,386
What's your
specialty?

1051
00:36:27,453 --> 00:36:29,421
Taking someone's order
and giving it to them.

1052
00:36:29,488 --> 00:36:31,423
Okay.

1053
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:32,558
I saw you drive up.

1054
00:36:32,624 --> 00:36:34,059
You people
going to cause trouble.

1055
00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:35,994
I swear not on purpose.

1056
00:36:36,061 --> 00:36:38,264
Every time he comes around here,
there's trouble.

1057
00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:39,398
I don't want leaflets
in my place.

1058
00:36:39,465 --> 00:36:40,566
You handing out
leaflets?

1059
00:36:40,632 --> 00:36:42,934
No, uh, we just
want the food.

1060
00:36:43,001 --> 00:36:45,537
Yeah, well,
what do you need?

1061
00:36:45,604 --> 00:36:47,873
You wouldn't say
there was some sort
of local delicacy...

1062
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:49,875
I'm getting my husband.

1063
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,877
Right, uh...?

1064
00:36:51,943 --> 00:36:53,679
( slaps menu )

1065
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:57,015
Excuse me.

1066
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:58,517
Would you mind terribly

1067
00:36:58,584 --> 00:37:01,487
if I changed the channel
to CNN for just a minute?

1068
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:03,689
I've, uh, been a little
out of touch today.

1069
00:37:03,755 --> 00:37:06,392
I would like to check in
with what's been going on.

1070
00:37:06,458 --> 00:37:09,328
Earl and Fiona
don't get cable TV.

1071
00:37:09,395 --> 00:37:13,265
Three channels
are enough.

1072
00:37:13,332 --> 00:37:15,334
The picture's fuzzy today.

1073
00:37:15,401 --> 00:37:17,869
I think there's going
to be weather.

1074
00:37:19,137 --> 00:37:20,406
What the hell, boy?

1075
00:37:20,472 --> 00:37:22,240
I was just asking
what's good.

1076
00:37:22,308 --> 00:37:24,242
Yeah?

1077
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:27,713
We'll take
four cheeseburgers.

1078
00:37:27,779 --> 00:37:30,015
The dry rub is good.

1079
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:30,649
Dry rub?

1080
00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:31,817
Yeah.

1081
00:37:31,883 --> 00:37:34,920
You dry rub the beef with spices
for a day or two.

1082
00:37:34,986 --> 00:37:36,822
Sauce is a myth.

1083
00:37:36,888 --> 00:37:37,823
Okay.

1084
00:37:37,889 --> 00:37:39,425
See, Fiona, this is

1085
00:37:39,491 --> 00:37:40,826
exactly what I
was talking about.

1086
00:37:40,892 --> 00:37:42,961
Shut up!

1087
00:37:43,028 --> 00:37:44,195
We'll take it to go.

1088
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:46,465
She's been in a bad mood for...

1089
00:37:46,532 --> 00:37:49,735
well, about 45 years now,
I guess.

1090
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:54,640
DONNA:
Out in the parking lot

1091
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:57,208
when you said it's Monday,
I flashed on the song.

1092
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:58,910
A few days ago,
someone told me that

1093
00:37:58,977 --> 00:38:00,912
a girl shot up her school
one morning

1094
00:38:00,979 --> 00:38:03,882
and when they asked her why,
she said, "I don't like Mondays"

1095
00:38:03,949 --> 00:38:05,951
and that's where the song
comes from.

1096
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:06,952
Yeah.

1097
00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:08,286
You knew that?
Yeah.

1098
00:38:08,354 --> 00:38:09,355
That's where
the song comes from?
Yeah.

1099
00:38:09,421 --> 00:38:11,357
I'm sorry about the time zones.

1100
00:38:11,423 --> 00:38:13,058
Why is it we cite

1101
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:14,926
Ritchie's advisors
by name?

1102
00:38:14,993 --> 00:38:17,295
The Milton Friedman
economic plan?

1103
00:38:17,363 --> 00:38:19,565
The Leonard Tynan
education plan?

1104
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:21,533
It's our way of calling
him a puppet, right?

1105
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,001
Josh, he cites them
more than we do

1106
00:38:23,068 --> 00:38:24,035
which is his way of saying

1107
00:38:24,102 --> 00:38:25,303
"I want to be President

1108
00:38:25,371 --> 00:38:26,572
the same way
you want a cold beer."

1109
00:38:26,638 --> 00:38:27,439
No. It's his way
of saying

1110
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:28,674
"I think it's great

1111
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:30,308
that Bartlet's
a Nobel Prize winner.

1112
00:38:30,376 --> 00:38:32,143
When I'm elected, I'm going
to hire me some of those."

1113
00:38:32,210 --> 00:38:34,079
No, no.

1114
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:35,113
Should be what he's saying.

1115
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:36,782
What he's saying is

1116
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:39,050
"Eastern education isn't for
real men, but don't worry.

1117
00:38:39,117 --> 00:38:40,752
I'll have Jews
for the money stuff."

1118
00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:46,792
You mind calling
C.J. for me?

1119
00:38:49,361 --> 00:38:50,796
That line from the
convention speech--

1120
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:54,265
"challenges too great for
a Potemkin presidency"?

1121
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,801
It is true.

1122
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:57,636
Most people weren't
the smartest kid in the class.

1123
00:38:57,703 --> 00:38:59,871
Most people didn't like
the smartest kid in the class.

1124
00:38:59,938 --> 00:39:02,073
Yeah?

1125
00:39:02,140 --> 00:39:05,477
I don't care
how subliminal it is.

1126
00:39:05,544 --> 00:39:07,613
This can't be
a national therapy session.

1127
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,716
C.J.

1128
00:39:10,782 --> 00:39:12,618
Thank you.

1129
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:13,985
Hello.

1130
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,821
Hey, before I forget,
if you see Josh

1131
00:39:15,887 --> 00:39:17,689
could you ask him
to stop by my office?

1132
00:39:23,028 --> 00:39:23,995
Toby?

1133
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:26,164
What?

1134
00:39:26,231 --> 00:39:28,900
She'd like you to
stop by her office.

1135
00:39:28,967 --> 00:39:32,370
Toby, are you there?

1136
00:39:32,438 --> 00:39:34,005
C.J., it's me.

1137
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:36,808
Did you happen to notice that
we weren't on the plane?

1138
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:38,243
You weren't on the plane?

1139
00:39:38,309 --> 00:39:40,111
We missed the plane.

1140
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:41,980
What happened between Unionville
and the plane?

1141
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:45,216
We missed Unionville.
We missed the motorcade.

1142
00:39:45,283 --> 00:39:46,217
Bummer.

1143
00:39:46,284 --> 00:39:47,453
Yeah.

1144
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:49,387
FIONA:
Dry rub's up!

1145
00:39:49,455 --> 00:39:52,257
I love dry rub.

1146
00:39:52,323 --> 00:39:54,460
They take the meat and...

1147
00:39:57,896 --> 00:39:59,030
Good afternoon, Mr. President.

1148
00:39:59,097 --> 00:40:00,365
Seth Weinberger's
assistant

1149
00:40:00,432 --> 00:40:01,800
has come forward
with the information

1150
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:03,635
that he was having an
affair with a colleague

1151
00:40:03,702 --> 00:40:04,903
and a newspaper
has printed it.

1152
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:06,071
What's
the assistant's thing?

1153
00:40:06,137 --> 00:40:07,305
You tell me.

1154
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:08,339
He'd already stepped
down over OSHA.

1155
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:09,708
It's been two months.

1156
00:40:09,775 --> 00:40:11,577
This is an assistant getting
her name in the paper

1157
00:40:11,643 --> 00:40:12,811
and it's unbelievably
hurtful to his wife.

1158
00:40:12,878 --> 00:40:14,345
I don't understand it.

1159
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,114
I don't understand the
paper printing it, either

1160
00:40:16,181 --> 00:40:17,115
but that's another day.

1161
00:40:17,182 --> 00:40:18,116
This is terrible.

1162
00:40:18,183 --> 00:40:19,117
Yes, sir.

1163
00:40:19,184 --> 00:40:20,118
Secretary Bryce.

1164
00:40:20,185 --> 00:40:21,553
Good.

1165
00:40:21,620 --> 00:40:23,321
Is there a place you'd like me
to stand or sit?

1166
00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,023
Hmm?
BRYCE:
Mr. President.

1167
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:26,191
Mitch, come on in.

1168
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:27,526
Just rock
and roll, Sam.

1169
00:40:29,394 --> 00:40:31,963
Hey.

1170
00:40:33,699 --> 00:40:35,366
Josh likes to
stand over there.

1171
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,603
BRYCE:
I wanted to mention
first of all, Mr. President

1172
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:38,670
that I think you could seek

1173
00:40:38,737 --> 00:40:40,772
Commerce's input on, uh...

1174
00:40:40,839 --> 00:40:42,140
I'm not going to say
what you could seek.

1175
00:40:42,207 --> 00:40:43,542
Actually, Mr. Secretary

1176
00:40:43,609 --> 00:40:44,710
if you're talking
about the stump speech

1177
00:40:44,776 --> 00:40:46,077
and energy
in particular

1178
00:40:46,144 --> 00:40:47,278
that's not the
President's fault

1179
00:40:47,345 --> 00:40:48,580
that's mine.

1180
00:40:48,647 --> 00:40:49,981
I was just looking
at my notes from...

1181
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:51,282
We have your input.

1182
00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:52,584
You're talking
about the exemption.

1183
00:40:52,651 --> 00:40:53,985
It is sheer lunacy

1184
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:55,954
to suggest America
takes unilateral steps

1185
00:40:56,021 --> 00:40:57,255
while exempting

1186
00:40:57,322 --> 00:41:00,325
80% of the world's nations
from the same obligations.

1187
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:03,094
Developing nations, and
I think what's lunacy

1188
00:41:03,161 --> 00:41:05,731
is a nation of SUVs telling
a nation of bicycles

1189
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:07,599
that they have to change

1190
00:41:07,666 --> 00:41:09,200
the way they live
before we'll agree

1191
00:41:09,267 --> 00:41:11,469
to do something
about greenhouse emissions.

1192
00:41:11,537 --> 00:41:13,038
Among our economic
competitors

1193
00:41:13,104 --> 00:41:14,305
there's the principle
of fairness.

1194
00:41:14,372 --> 00:41:15,941
Well, in international law

1195
00:41:16,007 --> 00:41:19,077
there's a principle called
differentiated responsibilities.

1196
00:41:19,144 --> 00:41:23,014
We're the ones making
the greenhouse gas!

1197
00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:24,315
You're losing the support
of the business community.

1198
00:41:24,382 --> 00:41:26,251
PRESIDENT:
Mr. Secretary

1199
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:28,520
it's not your job
to tell me whose
support I'm losing.

1200
00:41:28,587 --> 00:41:29,921
We have people who do that.

1201
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:31,623
It's your job to
tell me whose support

1202
00:41:31,690 --> 00:41:33,224
you just got for me.
Yes, sir.

1203
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:34,526
Okay.

1204
00:41:34,593 --> 00:41:36,261
Thank you,
Mr. President.

1205
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:37,228
Ed.

1206
00:41:37,295 --> 00:41:38,997
Well, I'm Larry, sir.

1207
00:41:39,064 --> 00:41:40,666
Whatever. Seth
Weinberger's
old assistant...
I saw that.

1208
00:41:40,732 --> 00:41:42,568
I don't think a lot
of blind loyalty

1209
00:41:42,634 --> 00:41:44,736
but I think a lot less
of blind betrayal.

1210
00:41:44,803 --> 00:41:46,337
That's why I haven't
gotten married yet, sir.

1211
00:41:46,404 --> 00:41:47,338
Yeah, that's probably why.

1212
00:41:47,405 --> 00:41:48,574
Congressman Lien.

1213
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,342
Could somebody get Leo for me,
please?

1214
00:41:51,409 --> 00:41:52,343
Peter, you hear that?

1215
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:53,344
He called you
"Congressman."

1216
00:41:53,411 --> 00:41:55,046
Yes, sir.

1217
00:41:55,113 --> 00:41:56,682
( chuckling )

1218
00:41:56,748 --> 00:41:58,149
You think when
your folks got you out

1219
00:41:58,216 --> 00:42:00,185
in '74, they imagined
they were taking you

1220
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:01,787
to a place that'd be willing
to make you a Congressman?

1221
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:03,454
As a matter of fact, sir

1222
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:05,857
I think that's exactly
what they imagined.
Me, too.

1223
00:42:05,924 --> 00:42:07,392
How's fishing?
It's been
a good season.

1224
00:42:07,458 --> 00:42:08,560
You catch any marlin?

1225
00:42:08,627 --> 00:42:09,595
Marlin's a game fish, sir.

1226
00:42:09,661 --> 00:42:10,896
Not a lot of
people eat them.

1227
00:42:10,962 --> 00:42:12,931
Takes a fisherman to catch one,
though, right?

1228
00:42:12,998 --> 00:42:13,632
Oh, yeah.

1229
00:42:13,699 --> 00:42:15,000
Okay, I'm just saying.

1230
00:42:15,066 --> 00:42:16,702
LEO:
Good afternoon,
Mr. President.

1231
00:42:16,768 --> 00:42:18,870
Leo, meet Congressman
Peter Lien, Texas 22nd.

1232
00:42:18,937 --> 00:42:20,071
Peter, this is Leo McGarry

1233
00:42:20,138 --> 00:42:22,808
U.S. Air Force,
144th Fighter Wing.

1234
00:42:22,874 --> 00:42:24,042
Pleased to meet
you, Congressman.

1235
00:42:24,109 --> 00:42:25,276
Peter's family
fishes in Galveston Bay

1236
00:42:25,343 --> 00:42:26,878
but they don't catch marlin.

1237
00:42:26,945 --> 00:42:29,147
It's a sore spot, and he doesn't
like to talk about it.

1238
00:42:29,214 --> 00:42:30,148
Peter's 34 years old.

1239
00:42:30,215 --> 00:42:32,017
I'm sorry
it's been two months

1240
00:42:32,083 --> 00:42:34,352
and we haven't been able to
get you up here until now.

1241
00:42:34,419 --> 00:42:36,154
No, please, it's a busy time.

1242
00:42:36,221 --> 00:42:38,389
If there's any help
I can give you in Texas...

1243
00:42:38,456 --> 00:42:39,625
Ordinarily
I would tell you

1244
00:42:39,691 --> 00:42:41,326
that Jim Coor was
a good public servant

1245
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,261
and you've got big shoes
to fill, and he was

1246
00:42:43,328 --> 00:42:44,696
and you do,
but obviously

1247
00:42:44,763 --> 00:42:47,298
you have a bigger symbolic
responsibility than that.

1248
00:42:47,365 --> 00:42:48,800
Yes, sir.

1249
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:51,002
But your biggest responsibility
isn't symbolic, right?

1250
00:42:51,069 --> 00:42:52,070
Yes, sir.

1251
00:42:52,137 --> 00:42:53,004
What is it?

1252
00:42:53,071 --> 00:42:54,539
It's to my district,
my country

1253
00:42:54,606 --> 00:42:57,275
and the Congress
of the United States.

1254
00:42:57,342 --> 00:42:59,544
Welcome, my friend,
to the show that never ends.

1255
00:42:59,611 --> 00:43:00,946
Thank you,
Mr. President.

1256
00:43:11,456 --> 00:43:12,423
Isn't that
a hell of a thing?

1257
00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:13,358
( chuckles )

1258
00:43:13,424 --> 00:43:14,893
What's next?
