00:00:05,998 --> 00:00:07,409
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,583 --> 00:00:09,456
- It's over.
- You'll be back.
3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,118
Let's go, 10 bucks.
Ten bucks for you.
4
00:00:12,295 --> 00:00:13,623
It was the president's idea.
5
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:16,501
Bet us you couldn't stay quiet
if he gave a bad answer.
6
00:00:16,674 --> 00:00:20,042
Horton Wilde in Orange County is in
the hospital. His 4th heart attack.
7
00:00:20,218 --> 00:00:22,257
Who knows when he'll
resume a campaign.
8
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,842
- He's dead.
- President wins the debate tomorrow...
9
00:00:25,014 --> 00:00:27,587
...you marry me again.
- Will Bailey, come inside?
10
00:00:27,808 --> 00:00:30,808
- The campaign's embarrassing to us.
- I'm not embarrassed by it.
11
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:33,510
If you can't find a Democrat,
tell Kay I'll do it.
12
00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:35,805
Andy's pregnant, with twins.
13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,074

14
00:00:54,497 --> 00:00:56,121
Thank you.
15
00:00:56,332 --> 00:00:58,620
- You're Josh Lyman, aren't you?
- Yeah.
16
00:00:58,834 --> 00:01:00,209
I've seen your picture a lot.
17
00:01:00,418 --> 00:01:02,375
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
18
00:01:02,545 --> 00:01:06,210
Bartlet's on the ballot for the Democratic
Party and for the Statehood Party.
19
00:01:06,423 --> 00:01:09,175
It's okay that I voted for him
in both columns, right?
20
00:01:09,384 --> 00:01:11,423
No, you can't vote for him
in two columns.
21
00:01:11,594 --> 00:01:12,923
I already did.
22
00:01:13,096 --> 00:01:14,755
Your ballot's gonna be invalidated.
23
00:01:14,931 --> 00:01:16,923
- What for?
- You're allowed to vote once.
24
00:01:17,099 --> 00:01:18,427
He's on the ballot twice.
25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,308
He's on it more. He's on it...
26
00:01:20,477 --> 00:01:23,680
...as the Liberal Party nominee...
- I'm saying, I'm for Statehood.
27
00:01:23,855 --> 00:01:26,180
Me too, and yours is a vote
we didn't get.
28
00:01:26,357 --> 00:01:27,685
I'm so sorry to interrupt...
29
00:01:27,858 --> 00:01:31,523
...did you say you're supposed to vote
for the president in both columns?
30
00:01:31,695 --> 00:01:33,237
No.
31
00:01:33,988 --> 00:01:38,400
No. You can vote for the president
in whatever column you want...
32
00:01:38,617 --> 00:01:41,783
...but you can only vote once.
- He's right.
33
00:01:41,995 --> 00:01:45,826
- Yes... I'm... Yes.
- And I'll tell you a secret for a shortcut.
34
00:01:45,998 --> 00:01:47,991
If you just, say,
vote for one Democrat...
35
00:01:48,167 --> 00:01:51,950
...and leave the rest of the boxes blank,
then you voted for all the Democrats.
36
00:01:52,128 --> 00:01:53,457
Yes. No.
37
00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:56,998
It doesn't... You can't vote for a party,
you have to vote for a person.
38
00:01:57,174 --> 00:01:59,795
- No, I think you're wrong.
- I'm not.
39
00:01:59,968 --> 00:02:01,510
I left all but one box blank.
40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,341
Well, then, you voted for none
but one candidate.
41
00:02:04,555 --> 00:02:05,884
Nuts.
42
00:02:06,057 --> 00:02:08,808
Did you vote for the president?
Was the president the one?
43
00:02:08,976 --> 00:02:11,264
- Who remembers?
- It was a minute and a half ago.
44
00:02:11,436 --> 00:02:13,263
- Don't be rude.
- I'm sorry.
45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,809
Thank you for voting.
46
00:02:17,358 --> 00:02:20,109
- Excuse me.
- Yes, what?
47
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:21,813
Yes.
48
00:02:22,028 --> 00:02:23,487
Yes, hello.
49
00:02:23,655 --> 00:02:27,105
- You're who I think you are, right?
- I can be anybody you want.
50
00:02:27,283 --> 00:02:29,156
- That's funny.
- Thank you.
51
00:02:29,326 --> 00:02:31,614
I saw you getting run over
by those people.
52
00:02:31,786 --> 00:02:33,446
Just part of the job, ma'am.
53
00:02:33,621 --> 00:02:35,827
I guess you hear some
pretty silly questions.
54
00:02:35,998 --> 00:02:39,165
Well, I'm just worried because
they all tried to vote for Bartlet.
55
00:02:39,334 --> 00:02:43,201
If this keeps up we're headed toward
the biggest electoral upset in history.
56
00:02:43,379 --> 00:02:45,171
Nobody's gonna figure out why.
57
00:02:45,339 --> 00:02:47,545
Right. It's the same thing
with my parents.
58
00:02:47,716 --> 00:02:50,385
I tell them, rank the candidates
in order of preference.
59
00:02:50,552 --> 00:02:51,880
Right. No.
60
00:02:52,053 --> 00:02:55,220
Mr. Lyman, voted for your boy
in all three boxes.
61
00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:59,600
No, listen to me, your ballot
is invalid. So is yours.
62
00:02:59,768 --> 00:03:06,185
Punch the box next to the candidate
you prefer once. Nothing else.
63
00:03:07,691 --> 00:03:09,600
- I'm sorry, one more thing?
- Yes?
64
00:03:09,777 --> 00:03:11,852
I have a message from Toby Ziegler.
65
00:03:12,028 --> 00:03:14,353
- What?
- I have a message from Toby Ziegler.
66
00:03:14,572 --> 00:03:16,611
You know Toby?
67
00:03:16,782 --> 00:03:18,241
He says:
68
00:03:18,409 --> 00:03:20,282
"Ten dollars."
69
00:03:22,829 --> 00:03:24,786
I see.
70
00:03:25,581 --> 00:03:27,574
You guys are a little troupe...
71
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:32,161
...a little acting troupe, with a U.
- Yes, sir, we are.
72
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,164
- Can I give you a card?
- No.
73
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:37,454
Mr. Ziegler said you were
edgy on election days...
74
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:39,714
...so to show there are
no hard feelings...
75
00:03:39,885 --> 00:03:42,554
...how about I go there and
vote for the president, now.
76
00:03:42,721 --> 00:03:44,464
As a matter of fact, that'd be nice.
77
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,343
No problem. Do you happen
to know if I need to be...
78
00:03:47,516 --> 00:03:49,972
...I don't know, pre-registered
or something?
79
00:03:56,065 --> 00:03:57,393
Yes!
80
00:04:51,820 --> 00:04:54,655
The teachers have 500 red and blue
"Bartlet-Hoynes" banners.
81
00:04:54,823 --> 00:04:57,942
- That plus 600 from Building Trades.
- No.
82
00:04:58,117 --> 00:04:59,445
- I'm sorry?
- No.
83
00:04:59,618 --> 00:05:01,907
- Why?
- The partisanship's over.
84
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,285
We elected a president.
This is for everybody.
85
00:05:04,456 --> 00:05:06,614
No banners tonight, American flags...
86
00:05:06,791 --> 00:05:09,827
But use the Seal, I'll put Senate
and House Leadership up there.
87
00:05:10,002 --> 00:05:11,496
- No balloons, no confetti.
- Why?
88
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:13,247
- It's not a party.
- It is a party.
89
00:05:13,422 --> 00:05:15,959
- But we won. We don't have to pander.
- Don't say that.
90
00:05:16,132 --> 00:05:17,792
On your birthday, don't we pander?
91
00:05:17,967 --> 00:05:19,793
- Not as much as I'd like.
- Not kidding.
92
00:05:19,969 --> 00:05:22,127
- What are you babbling about?
- We haven't won.
93
00:05:22,304 --> 00:05:23,964
- The speech is done.
- Two speeches.
94
00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:25,972
- What's the second?
- One if he wins...
95
00:05:26,140 --> 00:05:28,346
...one if he doesn't.
- You wrote a concession?
96
00:05:28,517 --> 00:05:30,011
Of course I wrote a concession.
97
00:05:30,227 --> 00:05:34,059
You wanna tempt the wrath of the
whatever from high atop the thing?
98
00:05:34,231 --> 00:05:36,982
- No.
- Then go outside, turn around and spit.
99
00:05:37,150 --> 00:05:38,809
What's the matter with you?
100
00:05:38,985 --> 00:05:41,226
- It's like 25 degrees outside.
- Go.
101
00:05:41,403 --> 00:05:43,941
- Hello.
- Mr. Lyman.
102
00:05:44,156 --> 00:05:49,280
I see your picture in the magazine.
Tell me, if I swallow my ballot, does it...?
103
00:05:49,493 --> 00:05:52,363
- Election Day humor, great.
- He wrote a concession speech.
104
00:05:52,579 --> 00:05:54,618
Of course he wrote it.
Why wouldn't he?
105
00:05:54,831 --> 00:05:58,496
What possible reason would he have for
not writing a concession speech?
106
00:05:58,668 --> 00:06:02,830
- The wrath from high atop the thing?
- He upped and said we were gonna...
107
00:06:03,005 --> 00:06:05,542
No, go outside, turn around
three times and curse.
108
00:06:05,757 --> 00:06:07,132
- Spit.
- Spit and curse.
109
00:06:07,342 --> 00:06:08,836
- Do everything. Go.
- Go!
110
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:10,468
- Go!
- Go!
111
00:06:13,513 --> 00:06:15,589
These things have a half-life.
You can't...
112
00:06:15,807 --> 00:06:18,642
- We're meeting again when?
- First round of exits at 11.
113
00:06:18,809 --> 00:06:21,763
Eleven o'clock unless
there's a reason earlier.
114
00:06:22,271 --> 00:06:24,228
- Can I have you two seconds?
- Yeah.
115
00:06:24,397 --> 00:06:26,603
- What do you need?
- Hang on.
116
00:06:27,358 --> 00:06:28,852
- There's trouble?
- A little bit.
117
00:06:29,026 --> 00:06:31,102
- For the president?
- For you.
118
00:06:35,198 --> 00:06:37,949
I know better than to stick my face
in your personal life.
119
00:06:38,117 --> 00:06:39,860
Except, you know, for sport.
120
00:06:40,036 --> 00:06:41,827
- What happened?
- Roll Call's got it...
121
00:06:41,996 --> 00:06:45,743
...from the Office of Congress's
attending physician that Andy's pregnant.
122
00:06:48,918 --> 00:06:51,587
When did they start doing more
than flu vaccinations?
123
00:06:51,754 --> 00:06:53,082
They need updated records.
124
00:06:53,255 --> 00:06:55,496
Roll Call doesn't need
updated records, though.
125
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:59,878
They're gonna connect the dots. It's
gonna be bad for her and bad for you.
126
00:07:00,094 --> 00:07:02,715
- You mean bad for us.
- I can handle the us.
127
00:07:02,888 --> 00:07:04,382
- What's her plan?
- I don't know.
128
00:07:04,556 --> 00:07:06,429
- Toby.
- I don't know. We haven't talked.
129
00:07:06,641 --> 00:07:10,175
- She's gotta be proactive.
- Yeah.
130
00:07:10,978 --> 00:07:13,101
It'd be nice if we could
announce a wedding.
131
00:07:13,313 --> 00:07:15,934
- I'm working on that, thanks.
- You'll talk to her?
132
00:07:16,107 --> 00:07:18,432
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
133
00:07:21,445 --> 00:07:24,529
- Did you...?
- Yes, I turned, I cursed, I spat, it froze.
134
00:07:24,698 --> 00:07:26,774
- You can't be too careful.
- I think you can.
135
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:29,784
Sam, you got Will Bailey
calling from California.
136
00:07:31,162 --> 00:07:34,612
"Won't you come home, Will Bailey?
137
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:36,865
Won't you come home?"
138
00:07:39,001 --> 00:07:40,330
Sancho, how you doing?
139
00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:41,831
-I'm Sancho?
- Yeah.
140
00:07:42,004 --> 00:07:44,329
- Can I ask you something?
- Yes, grasshopper.
141
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:46,997
- How much do you know on exit polls?
- What's to know?
142
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:49,968
You stand 100 yards away
and say"Who'd you vote for?"
143
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:51,464
You can't afford exit polls.
144
00:07:51,679 --> 00:07:53,422
I've got volunteers out there.
145
00:07:53,597 --> 00:07:55,221
- And?
- Something weird's going on.
146
00:07:55,390 --> 00:07:57,347
- What?
- We're winning.
147
00:07:57,517 --> 00:08:00,054
- What do you mean?
- We're down one in Spyglass Hill...
148
00:08:00,228 --> 00:08:03,098
...even in Emerald Bay and up three
in El Toro Station.
149
00:08:03,272 --> 00:08:05,976
- Can I give you free advice?
- Yeah.
150
00:08:06,191 --> 00:08:08,942
It's not advice so much as
I'm saying this:
151
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:13,024
Democrats vote early. Okay?
And diehards vote early.
152
00:08:13,238 --> 00:08:15,361
You want me to call in
every couple of hours?
153
00:08:15,866 --> 00:08:18,617
- Every hour.
- Okay.
154
00:08:25,082 --> 00:08:26,576
Bonnie...
155
00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:28,707
...Democrats vote early, right?
- Yeah.
156
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:31,449
Ginger? Democrats and
diehards vote early, right?
157
00:08:31,629 --> 00:08:33,751
- Yeah.
- Okay.
158
00:08:38,635 --> 00:08:40,923
Mrs. Bartlet, can you tell us
who you voted for?
159
00:08:41,137 --> 00:08:44,885
- Nobody, I was just fixing my makeup.
- How are you spending the day?
160
00:08:45,098 --> 00:08:47,933
Filling out Chicago ballots,
just pitching in.
161
00:08:48,101 --> 00:08:50,473
He's gonna be flying around
thanking supporters.
162
00:08:50,686 --> 00:08:53,936
- Is there any suspense at all today?
- Well, there are about...
163
00:08:54,106 --> 00:08:58,814
...14 competitive Senate races,
about 46 House races...
164
00:08:58,985 --> 00:09:03,064
...right here in New Hampshire there's
a 600-million-dollar bond issue...
165
00:09:03,239 --> 00:09:06,274
...plus, no one's elected
my husband president yet.
166
00:09:08,284 --> 00:09:11,201
Mr. President, polls show a
dogfight here in New Hampshire.
167
00:09:11,370 --> 00:09:14,703
How would you feel if you won the
election, but lost your home state?
168
00:09:14,915 --> 00:09:18,034
Better than if I won my home state,
but lost my home country.
169
00:09:18,209 --> 00:09:20,782
But the only poll that matters
closes in 17 hours.
170
00:09:21,003 --> 00:09:25,214
- Did you vote for the bond issue?
- Title 63, Chapter 659, Section 43...
171
00:09:25,382 --> 00:09:27,291
...of New Hampshire Election
Code says:
172
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:30,633
"Electioneering is prohibited within
a corridor 10 feet wide...
173
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:33,590
...extending a distance
from the entrance door...
174
00:09:33,764 --> 00:09:37,014
...as determined by the moderator where
the election is being held."
175
00:09:37,184 --> 00:09:38,761
If anyone knows what that means.
176
00:09:38,935 --> 00:09:42,138
Yeah, I voted for the bond issue.
It'll improve public education...
177
00:09:42,313 --> 00:09:45,064
...without a tax abatement.
- Mr. President.
178
00:09:47,984 --> 00:09:51,353
Mr. President, do you have anything
to say to Governor Ritchie today?
179
00:09:51,529 --> 00:09:54,482
Well, one way or another,
I imagine we'll be talking tonight.
180
00:09:54,656 --> 00:09:58,784
I gotta get back. You can hockle Abbey
for a while, she's taking the next plane.
181
00:09:58,952 --> 00:10:01,573
Thank you, Mr. President.
182
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:03,787
- These are for your signature.
- Yeah.
183
00:10:03,956 --> 00:10:06,363
- Could you score me a couple of aspirin?
- Yes, sir.
184
00:10:06,541 --> 00:10:07,870
- Got a headache?
- I'm fine.
185
00:10:08,043 --> 00:10:10,533
- Should I ask the doctors to...?
- It's just a headache.
186
00:10:10,712 --> 00:10:13,795
- Just me and you today, okay? I'm fine.
- Yes, sir.
187
00:10:13,964 --> 00:10:16,537
- I'll sign these in the car.
- Yes, sir.
188
00:10:31,896 --> 00:10:33,224
Come on.
189
00:10:36,692 --> 00:10:40,689
Okay, this can wait. Let's go.
190
00:11:01,504 --> 00:11:04,339
Nothing's happening right now.
191
00:11:06,925 --> 00:11:11,005
By the end of the night,
100 million votes will be cast.
192
00:11:12,763 --> 00:11:15,432
Polls have been open in the East
for six and a half hours.
193
00:11:15,599 --> 00:11:18,553
You know how many votes
have been cast? One percent.
194
00:11:19,561 --> 00:11:24,139
Everybody votes after work.
Not me, I vote first thing.
195
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:29,732
The VNS exit polls are down
in Michigan for a little while.
196
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,520
And it's raining in Oregon.
197
00:11:38,869 --> 00:11:41,359
This is like the ionization
blackout period.
198
00:11:41,537 --> 00:11:45,155
Pumpkin Patch, anything I can do to
get you to the movies for eight hours?
199
00:11:45,332 --> 00:11:47,325
- Senior Staff.
- Yeah.
200
00:11:47,501 --> 00:11:49,991
- But can you do me a favor?
- What do you need?
201
00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:53,918
This is a photocopy of my absentee
ballot. I was hoping the president...
202
00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:56,627
...could sign it and I'd have it framed.
- Yeah.
203
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,421
You know the president's
the first winner I voted for?
204
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:01,670
- Is this a joke?
- It's not hard to believe...
205
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:04,633
- No, I mean this.
- What are you talking about?
206
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:08,674
Toby already did the thing this
morning with the invalid ballots.
207
00:12:08,852 --> 00:12:12,303
- My ballot's invalid?
- This isn't a joke?
208
00:12:12,522 --> 00:12:14,847
- It's invalid?
- You voted for Ritchie.
209
00:12:15,024 --> 00:12:17,099
- Where?
- Here.
210
00:12:17,734 --> 00:12:19,228
Oh, my God.
211
00:12:19,444 --> 00:12:21,650
Your picking-the-winner streak
is probably over.
212
00:12:21,863 --> 00:12:24,484
No, no, no.
It's an optical scan ballot.
213
00:12:24,657 --> 00:12:26,732
I drew a line through
the Democratic ticket.
214
00:12:26,909 --> 00:12:30,075
Almost. You drew a line through
the Republican ticket.
215
00:12:30,245 --> 00:12:33,578
You didn't ticket-split. You voted for
every Republican in Wisconsin.
216
00:12:33,748 --> 00:12:35,574
Check. You may have
voted for McCarthy.
217
00:12:35,749 --> 00:12:37,160
- I'm gonna rectify this.
- How?
218
00:12:37,334 --> 00:12:38,994
I don't know, but it'll be counted.
219
00:12:39,169 --> 00:12:40,829
- It will.
- I don't want it counted.
220
00:12:41,004 --> 00:12:43,838
- I'm going, you still want...?
- Give me that.
221
00:12:46,216 --> 00:12:47,794
Hey, I'm going in, okay?
222
00:12:47,968 --> 00:12:50,637
- Hey, Josh. No.
- I'm sorry?
223
00:12:50,845 --> 00:12:53,418
- It's the Senior Staff meeting.
- I'm Senior Staff.
224
00:12:53,598 --> 00:12:56,088
- You don't have your briefing memo.
- How do you know?
225
00:12:56,267 --> 00:12:58,306
I'm sorry. Do you have it?
226
00:12:58,477 --> 00:13:00,019
No.
227
00:13:00,186 --> 00:13:02,179
- I memorized it.
- Did you get my e-mail...
228
00:13:02,355 --> 00:13:05,308
...on the three new rules for the week?
- I got it. I read it.
229
00:13:05,483 --> 00:13:08,816
It was good stuff. It's possible
the salient details escape me.
230
00:13:09,027 --> 00:13:12,894
Rule number two: You don't attend Daily
Senior Staff without the briefing memo.
231
00:13:13,114 --> 00:13:15,071
The agenda's outlined and there are...
232
00:13:15,241 --> 00:13:17,992
...up-to-the-minute details
on priority items, and still...
233
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,697
...half the meeting is spent
regurgitating the memo...
234
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,073
...for members who have difficulty
holding onto salient details.
235
00:13:24,248 --> 00:13:26,953
That's fair, and next time
I'm gonna remember the memo.
236
00:13:27,126 --> 00:13:30,826
I'm confident you will because you're
gonna remember it this time too.
237
00:13:31,212 --> 00:13:34,497
- You want me to go back and get it?
- I do.
238
00:13:36,133 --> 00:13:37,793
Okay.
239
00:13:38,719 --> 00:13:40,213
All right.
240
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:44,549
- I'm gonna humor the new girl.
- Appreciate it.
241
00:13:45,057 --> 00:13:47,678
- Going to get your briefing memo?
- Yes.
242
00:13:47,851 --> 00:13:51,054
Charlie, Security called for you.
They'd like to see you out front.
243
00:13:51,271 --> 00:13:53,892
- Security?
- Yeah.
244
00:14:02,906 --> 00:14:05,574
What the hell? Anthony.
245
00:14:05,783 --> 00:14:07,158
Michelle, he's with me.
246
00:14:07,326 --> 00:14:10,030
- Which one?
- The regular-sized one. Who are you?
247
00:14:10,245 --> 00:14:12,783
- Orlando Kettles, boss, how you doing?
- Fine, thanks.
248
00:14:12,956 --> 00:14:15,742
- Anthony.
- Yeah, you know, I brought him today.
249
00:14:15,916 --> 00:14:18,751
First of all, they're a little
prickly about security here.
250
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:22,583
You're not down as"Anthony plus one."
You see the guns standing around now?
251
00:14:22,755 --> 00:14:25,791
Boy's going to Columbus,
starting right tackle for the Buckeyes.
252
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:29,050
True freshman. I hand you the ball,
run behind him, have coffee.
253
00:14:29,261 --> 00:14:30,589
He's gonna play on Sundays.
254
00:14:30,762 --> 00:14:33,051
- You his agent?
- Don't have nothing in writing.
255
00:14:33,264 --> 00:14:35,802
- What's he doing here, Anthony?
- He got pulled over...
256
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:39,094
...with an open can of Pabst.
- He was... You were driving drunk?
257
00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:40,597
No way, boss.
258
00:14:40,770 --> 00:14:44,221
He passed the Breathalyzer.
It was the open can of Pabst.
259
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,272
But Saturday's St. Erasmus Academy,
that's a big game for a senior.
260
00:14:48,444 --> 00:14:51,729
- Wanna put a hurt on some blue blazers?
- Anthony.
261
00:14:52,030 --> 00:14:54,983
Coach is gonna sit him down because
of the Pabst, unless...
262
00:14:55,158 --> 00:14:57,150
- Unless what?
- You know, you do your thing.
263
00:14:57,326 --> 00:14:58,737
- My thing?
- Write him a note.
264
00:14:58,952 --> 00:15:01,110
- Saying what?
- He's a good guy, Charlie.
265
00:15:01,288 --> 00:15:04,288
- He does his business.
- I'm not Officer Krupke. I have a job.
266
00:15:04,457 --> 00:15:07,956
Try to think back to the days before
you were secretary of state.
267
00:15:08,168 --> 00:15:10,624
There are good guys and bad guys.
When good guys...
268
00:15:10,796 --> 00:15:14,294
...stop letting you play with them,
bad guys have a recruiting field day.
269
00:15:14,465 --> 00:15:16,754
When did you start talking
like Mickey Spillane?
270
00:15:16,967 --> 00:15:20,466
- I don't know. Who's Officer Cupcake?
- Okay, you're seeing a musical.
271
00:15:20,637 --> 00:15:23,922
Man, look at the size of him, Charlie.
He's not done growing either.
272
00:15:24,098 --> 00:15:26,055
Who do you want him playing for?
273
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:28,434
What else has he got?
274
00:15:28,602 --> 00:15:29,977
- What else?
- Priors.
275
00:15:30,646 --> 00:15:33,017
Nothing, man. I swear.
276
00:15:33,815 --> 00:15:35,190
He stole a goat.
277
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:36,728
- A goat?
- Yeah.
278
00:15:36,901 --> 00:15:38,858
Why did he...? No. I don't care.
279
00:15:39,028 --> 00:15:41,732
- You got his Social Security number?
- Yeah.
280
00:15:44,782 --> 00:15:47,154
- Orlando, got practice this afternoon?
- Oh, yeah.
281
00:15:47,326 --> 00:15:50,908
You're not going. It's Election Day.
You're gonna spend it with me.
282
00:15:51,121 --> 00:15:53,612
Yo, man, I've done wind sprints,
I'll take the swap.
283
00:15:53,790 --> 00:15:55,747
Follow me. This is the White House.
284
00:15:55,917 --> 00:15:57,292
Frederick Douglass came here.
285
00:15:57,460 --> 00:16:00,495
Mondays through Fridays we wear
coats and ties. You too, Mugsy.
286
00:16:00,671 --> 00:16:03,042
Hey, Charlie, not for nothing,
but so you know...
287
00:16:03,214 --> 00:16:05,622
...some higher-end places
provide a jacket for you.
288
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,717
Right. You're confusing the
White House with the Friars Club.
289
00:16:08,886 --> 00:16:11,637
The people I work with are serious,
so don't embarrass me.
290
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:14,011
- You got it, boss.
- We're gonna have to wait...
291
00:16:14,182 --> 00:16:15,842
...till the Secret Service...
292
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:19,091
Sorry, man, that wasn't cool.
293
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:21,725
- How you doing?
- You all right?
294
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,805
He should... You should play football.
295
00:16:25,733 --> 00:16:28,568
Hey, man, I'm trying, you know,
but I had an open Pabst...
296
00:16:28,736 --> 00:16:31,107
...and that's the way that goes.
- Yeah.
297
00:16:31,321 --> 00:16:32,899
Let's go.
298
00:16:42,581 --> 00:16:44,869
Rule number two:
Daily Senior Staff will...
299
00:16:45,041 --> 00:16:47,911
...something the briefing memo.
I have the memo, I'm going.
300
00:16:48,127 --> 00:16:50,036
- Yeah. No.
- No?
301
00:16:50,254 --> 00:16:51,961
No, have you read rule number one?
302
00:16:52,172 --> 00:16:54,497
The salient details...
303
00:16:54,716 --> 00:16:58,001
The meeting starts on time.
If you're not there, you don't go in.
304
00:16:58,219 --> 00:17:01,302
- That's insanity.
- Well, I'm quite mad.
305
00:17:02,055 --> 00:17:05,589
There has to be a natural fluidity to
these things. It's how we work best.
306
00:17:05,767 --> 00:17:07,842
You can't say that every
meeting has to...
307
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:09,388
I didn't.
308
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:13,012
The e-mail, which is exactly this long,
in case as a boy you had...
309
00:17:13,190 --> 00:17:16,854
...a frightening experience with Balzac,
and that's why you didn't read it...
310
00:17:17,026 --> 00:17:20,477
...says,"This applies only to
the Daily Senior Staff meeting."
311
00:17:20,654 --> 00:17:23,026
One meeting it's gonna be
important to be on time.
312
00:17:23,198 --> 00:17:25,949
Well, I think that's a random
cracking of the whip.
313
00:17:26,117 --> 00:17:28,655
According to the last
300 daily diaries...
314
00:17:28,828 --> 00:17:31,863
...the president is typically 70
to 90 minutes over-scheduled...
315
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,660
...by the end of the day.
The median time a day ends...
316
00:17:34,874 --> 00:17:36,867
...the over-under is 10:20 p.m.
317
00:17:37,043 --> 00:17:40,245
As many days have ended after
that time as have ended before it.
318
00:17:40,421 --> 00:17:44,370
The result being, the Commander in
Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces...
319
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:46,956
...hasn't had a night's sleep
in four years.
320
00:17:47,135 --> 00:17:49,174
That's both bad and easy to fix.
321
00:17:49,595 --> 00:17:50,970
Okay.
322
00:17:51,138 --> 00:17:54,138
Well, yes, that's hard
to argue against.
323
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:56,098
I'll remember this talk next time.
324
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:58,100
I have confidence that you will.
325
00:17:58,269 --> 00:18:00,261
Okay. Well, I'm going
in now, all right?
326
00:18:00,437 --> 00:18:04,137
Sweet of you to tell me a joke, Josh.
You're the funny one, I can tell.
327
00:18:04,316 --> 00:18:05,940
All right.
328
00:18:06,776 --> 00:18:09,646
This is your little part of the store
and I respect that.
329
00:18:10,362 --> 00:18:12,935
See what I did there? Respect.
330
00:18:13,115 --> 00:18:14,774
No one's bigger than the game.
331
00:18:14,991 --> 00:18:17,826
- You're an example for the kids.
- Yeah.
332
00:18:20,162 --> 00:18:22,238
- I'm going out for about 20 minutes.
- Where?
333
00:18:22,414 --> 00:18:25,747
There's a polling place nearby,
I'm gonna find someone to swap votes.
334
00:18:25,917 --> 00:18:29,535
A Ritchie supporter to vote for the
president to offset my absentee ballot.
335
00:18:29,712 --> 00:18:32,249
- Really.
- It's Election Day, I'm doing this.
336
00:18:32,464 --> 00:18:35,085
- It's gonna take 20 minutes?
- Yeah, I'll be right back.
337
00:18:35,258 --> 00:18:36,918
You bet. Toby.
338
00:18:37,093 --> 00:18:39,548
- He can't talk.
- Okay.
339
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,511
We're late for the first sonogram.
340
00:18:41,722 --> 00:18:45,719
Big needle, 18 inches, right in
the stomach, Toby, don't look at it.
341
00:18:45,892 --> 00:18:48,383
- Yeah, that's amniocentesis.
- Hurts like heartbreak.
342
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:50,886
- You've had the procedure?
- Not me personally.
343
00:18:51,063 --> 00:18:53,470
Toby, it's a good idea to slip
the nurse something.
344
00:18:53,648 --> 00:18:56,139
Tell her you're hoping for
a smooth second trimester.
345
00:18:56,317 --> 00:18:58,025
- You grease the nurse?
- He's kidding.
346
00:18:58,194 --> 00:19:00,482
Give me one second, would you?
I'll catch up.
347
00:19:00,696 --> 00:19:04,147
- Sports fans, this is getting exciting.
- Yes.
348
00:19:04,741 --> 00:19:06,817
So, what do you think,
like, 50 bucks?
349
00:19:06,993 --> 00:19:09,448
I don't know, it's your first,
it's twins.
350
00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:11,743
I don't know, I think I'd give her 100.
351
00:19:11,914 --> 00:19:13,408
Yeah, okay.
352
00:19:14,499 --> 00:19:17,286
In your life you have never been
on time to this meeting.
353
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:21,125
I wasn't actually. I was just incredibly
late to the meeting right before it.
354
00:19:21,338 --> 00:19:22,998
- Well, that's the trick then.
- Yeah.
355
00:19:23,173 --> 00:19:25,545
Sam, Will Bailey's on the phone
if you want him.
356
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:27,585
That name sounds familiar.
357
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,753
He's a guy in California.
358
00:19:29,929 --> 00:19:31,339
He's on the phone...
359
00:19:31,513 --> 00:19:33,387
...and I'm gonna talk to him now.
360
00:19:33,557 --> 00:19:35,015
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
361
00:19:35,183 --> 00:19:36,463
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
362
00:19:36,643 --> 00:19:39,014
California 47th. He was the guy running
Horton Wilde?
363
00:19:39,186 --> 00:19:41,309
- Yeah.
- They're gonna lose by 20 points.
364
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,556
Really? You're getting that
from the exits?
365
00:19:43,732 --> 00:19:45,060
- Yeah.
- Great.
366
00:19:45,233 --> 00:19:48,317
- Great?
- No. I mean, it's a tough beat...
367
00:19:48,486 --> 00:19:50,562
...what with dying and all.
- Yeah.
368
00:19:50,738 --> 00:19:54,153
- I'm gonna talk to him now, okay?
- Okay.
369
00:19:58,870 --> 00:20:00,447
- Hey.
- I think we're still up.
370
00:20:00,621 --> 00:20:02,412
Josh says the exits
have you down 20.
371
00:20:02,581 --> 00:20:06,364
He means the tracking. The last one was
a week ago, then the DNC left town.
372
00:20:06,584 --> 00:20:09,538
- He said the exits.
- Hey, when I said"exits" before...
373
00:20:09,712 --> 00:20:11,087
...I meant tracking.
374
00:20:11,255 --> 00:20:13,710
They did the last one a week ago,
then left town.
375
00:20:13,882 --> 00:20:17,962
Yeah, they may have called
that putt a little early.
376
00:20:18,136 --> 00:20:21,800
Sam, it'd help if we could get added
to the president's afternoon satellite.
377
00:20:21,972 --> 00:20:24,130
- We could use some radio at drive time.
- Yeah.
378
00:20:24,308 --> 00:20:25,683
Will, no kidding...
379
00:20:25,892 --> 00:20:29,806
...drive time's also when the plants get
out and the real Orange County votes...
380
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:31,805
...that's when you turn
into a pumpkin.
381
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,439
Don't get your hopes up.
382
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:35,641
No, just a good showing.
Cover the spread.
383
00:20:35,859 --> 00:20:37,269
All right.
384
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:40,354
- What'd he say?
- Don't get hopes up.
385
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:41,858
- Are they?
- No.
386
00:20:42,031 --> 00:20:46,656
Everybody on the street.
But we're gonna make history.
387
00:20:55,417 --> 00:20:57,160
Roll Call has the pregnancy.
388
00:20:57,335 --> 00:20:59,043
What?
389
00:20:59,212 --> 00:21:01,418
Roll Call has the pregnancy.
C.J. just told me.
390
00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:03,877
- When?
- A little while ago.
391
00:21:07,719 --> 00:21:10,885
- Why are you telling me now?
- I didn't wanna ruin the day for you.
392
00:21:11,055 --> 00:21:13,592
- Then why are you telling me now?
- I couldn't help it.
393
00:21:13,807 --> 00:21:17,591
- Roll Call has it from where?
- The Office of the Congressional.
394
00:21:17,769 --> 00:21:19,595
Thanks.
395
00:21:20,104 --> 00:21:22,808
- What are you saying that to me for?
- No, I was...
396
00:21:22,982 --> 00:21:25,021
I was saying it to them.
I was asking it.
397
00:21:25,233 --> 00:21:29,480
Out of curiosity, how long did you think
this was going to be covert?
398
00:21:29,654 --> 00:21:33,069
These are twins, Andy. You think
you're gonna go on Meet the Press...
399
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,909
...and Russert won't notice
you're the size of a school?
400
00:21:36,118 --> 00:21:37,695
Why not just come out and say:
401
00:21:37,869 --> 00:21:40,075
"I'm expecting twins,
I couldn't be happier.
402
00:21:40,288 --> 00:21:43,656
The father's my ex-husband, Toby
Ziegler, to whom I'll be remarried...
403
00:21:43,832 --> 00:21:45,374
...on a date to be decided upon.
404
00:21:45,542 --> 00:21:48,459
- I'm thinking Christmas."
- I'm not marrying you again.
405
00:21:50,379 --> 00:21:52,004
Then say the first part at least.
406
00:21:52,214 --> 00:21:56,081
I hadn't announced it because you don't
in the first 12 weeks because...
407
00:21:56,259 --> 00:21:59,213
...that's when most
of the things go wrong.
408
00:22:00,263 --> 00:22:03,097
These bodies of yours, I don't know
how you live with them.
409
00:22:03,265 --> 00:22:06,965
- They don't seem to mind.
- I like the outsides.
410
00:22:09,562 --> 00:22:11,720
Hello, Andrea. Toby.
411
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:13,273
Hi.
412
00:22:13,691 --> 00:22:15,599
Honey, if you're gonna
get grossed out...
413
00:22:15,776 --> 00:22:18,231
...and faint, you should sit.
- She's kidding.
414
00:22:18,403 --> 00:22:21,356
- How've you been feeling?
- I feel great.
415
00:22:21,822 --> 00:22:23,731
Feel like you're getting
enough calcium?
416
00:22:23,949 --> 00:22:26,238
- What does that feel like?
- I don't know either.
417
00:22:26,410 --> 00:22:29,493
It's just something we ask.
We don't even care about the answer.
418
00:22:29,662 --> 00:22:31,121
You should draft a release.
419
00:22:31,289 --> 00:22:34,408
Let that be my first act of fatherhood,
drafting your release.
420
00:22:34,583 --> 00:22:38,165
Go back to my roots as we all must go.
Now you're on offense, not defense.
421
00:22:38,336 --> 00:22:40,494
I'm not gonna be
on offense or defense.
422
00:22:40,671 --> 00:22:42,331
The things we do in our lives...
423
00:22:42,506 --> 00:22:44,997
...many of them are not voluntary.
- You don't say.
424
00:22:45,217 --> 00:22:48,751
I think you've performed your first act
of fatherhood already.
425
00:22:48,928 --> 00:22:53,471
Yes, indeed. So let my second act be
throwing you a little press conference.
426
00:22:53,682 --> 00:22:57,300
Sounds fine. I, myself, can't make it,
but you have a nice time, honey.
427
00:22:57,477 --> 00:22:59,469
Do I need to tell you
the first rule of damage control?
428
00:22:59,646 --> 00:23:02,563
No, but the next time you refer
to this pregnancy as damage...
429
00:23:02,732 --> 00:23:05,518
Get the information out early,
get it out yourself...
430
00:23:05,692 --> 00:23:08,183
...do it on your own terms.
- That's three rules.
431
00:23:08,403 --> 00:23:11,487
Andy, look. I'm not kidding.
You gotta...
432
00:23:14,033 --> 00:23:15,824
- What was that?
- That was...
433
00:23:15,993 --> 00:23:18,946
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah, that was...
434
00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:27,452
Andy, you can see their...
435
00:23:27,627 --> 00:23:29,667
...heads.
436
00:23:33,007 --> 00:23:35,497
My kids have heads.
437
00:23:42,682 --> 00:23:46,595
My vote in Wisconsin is more valuable
than your vote in the District...
438
00:23:46,768 --> 00:23:49,093
...you're getting big value.
- How do you figure?
439
00:23:49,270 --> 00:23:51,891
The president's gonna win the District,
it's certain.
440
00:23:52,064 --> 00:23:55,647
But Wisconsin's actually in play
and I voted for your guy.
441
00:23:55,818 --> 00:24:00,811
- How do I know that?
- I've shown you the ballot, look.
442
00:24:01,781 --> 00:24:04,947
- Well, that's a photocopy.
- Of course it's a photocopy.
443
00:24:05,117 --> 00:24:08,450
- The real one's in Wisconsin.
- Well, how do I know that?
444
00:24:08,620 --> 00:24:13,080
You don't. This is an honor thing.
It's about honor and democracy.
445
00:24:13,290 --> 00:24:15,781
I'm gonna go vote now,
so please stop talking to me.
446
00:24:15,959 --> 00:24:17,453
Fine.
447
00:24:17,961 --> 00:24:19,538
You think I'm trying to scam you?
448
00:24:19,713 --> 00:24:22,547
I've been here two and a half
hours trying to get one vote.
449
00:24:22,715 --> 00:24:24,754
You think this is how I make money?
450
00:24:25,884 --> 00:24:29,584
Hey, you know what? No problem
shouting in public, but I think...
451
00:24:29,763 --> 00:24:31,885
- Take off the Bartlet button?
- Yeah.
452
00:24:32,557 --> 00:24:35,308
Josh told me you were still here.
I was over at the place.
453
00:24:35,476 --> 00:24:37,053
Thanks.
454
00:24:37,769 --> 00:24:40,521
- You wanna get a muffin?
- Yeah, I'll walk you.
455
00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:42,645
So, what's going on?
456
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,357
It's raining in Oregon.
457
00:24:44,525 --> 00:24:46,850
Yeah. Yeah, Josh was
talking about that before.
458
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:49,399
Apparently all his other
problems are solved.
459
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:52,192
If your guy's gonna win big,
you don't want it to rain.
460
00:24:52,365 --> 00:24:55,982
There's less motivation anyway
because of the blowout...
461
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,493
...and you have no idea how fast
these things can become a race.
462
00:24:59,663 --> 00:25:02,782
- What do you need?
- A banana muffin, please.
463
00:25:07,294 --> 00:25:09,417
I did something last week.
464
00:25:10,088 --> 00:25:11,961
I went to see a guy named Will Bailey.
465
00:25:12,131 --> 00:25:15,085
He ran Horton Wilde's campaign
in Orange County...
466
00:25:15,259 --> 00:25:18,378
...and Wilde died
a couple of weeks ago...
467
00:25:18,929 --> 00:25:20,387
...his widow wanted to know...
468
00:25:20,555 --> 00:25:24,089
...what Democrat would stand in for
her husband, should he win. I said...
469
00:25:24,266 --> 00:25:26,306
- You're kidding.
- You have to understand.
470
00:25:26,477 --> 00:25:28,552
This wasn't something that
cost me anything.
471
00:25:28,729 --> 00:25:30,935
They weren't gonna announce
unless Wilde won...
472
00:25:31,105 --> 00:25:33,810
...and that was never gonna
happen in Orange County.
473
00:25:33,983 --> 00:25:36,818
It's like the
Secretary of Agriculture saying:
474
00:25:36,985 --> 00:25:39,227
"Sure I'm ready to assume
the presidency...
475
00:25:39,404 --> 00:25:42,239
...should the 18 who come
before me die."
476
00:25:42,490 --> 00:25:44,529
- Why not?
- So why not?
477
00:25:45,493 --> 00:25:47,817
Because it's a two-point
race right now.
478
00:25:48,036 --> 00:25:52,033
- This is very exciting.
- No, it's not.
479
00:25:52,206 --> 00:25:55,539
The prospect of going back on my word
to a recent widow.
480
00:25:55,709 --> 00:25:57,334
So why go back on it?
481
00:25:57,503 --> 00:26:01,037
Because the alternative is taking
90 days off to go home...
482
00:26:01,214 --> 00:26:05,674
...Iose by 20 points to a Republican
committee chair I hate...
483
00:26:05,843 --> 00:26:08,547
...and never be able to run
for public office for real...
484
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,211
...which is something I wouldn't
mind doing one day.
485
00:26:11,389 --> 00:26:13,631
Once 5:00 and 6:00 roll around.
486
00:26:13,808 --> 00:26:15,765
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
487
00:26:15,935 --> 00:26:17,642
Except?
488
00:26:17,811 --> 00:26:20,136
- What?
- There's an El Niņo thing going on...
489
00:26:20,313 --> 00:26:22,306
...in Southern California today and...
- No.
490
00:26:22,482 --> 00:26:25,151
It's supposed to start raining
in a few hours.
491
00:26:25,734 --> 00:26:27,193
Okay.
492
00:26:28,445 --> 00:26:32,394
- Okay, I'm gonna go back to the office.
- Okay.
493
00:26:32,574 --> 00:26:35,491
- Why don't you give me the button.
- Yeah.
494
00:26:39,037 --> 00:26:40,946
You're cleared.
You can come upstairs.
495
00:26:41,122 --> 00:26:42,865
Thanks.
496
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:46,913
There are chairs up there
that are over 200 years old.
497
00:26:47,086 --> 00:26:49,790
Before you sit in one I wanna see
written confirmation...
498
00:26:49,963 --> 00:26:53,378
...from the Army Corps of Engineers
that it can support your girth.
499
00:26:53,549 --> 00:26:56,716
You stole a goat?
I'm assuming this was a mascot?
500
00:26:56,885 --> 00:27:00,420
Yeah, that was sweet.
I was just the legman.
501
00:27:00,597 --> 00:27:02,007
Anthony's the brains.
502
00:27:02,182 --> 00:27:04,803
Yeah, it had that international
jewel thief feel to it.
503
00:27:04,976 --> 00:27:07,347
What do you think we're
doing the rest of the day?
504
00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:10,354
- You know, video games, hanging out.
- Really?
505
00:27:10,522 --> 00:27:14,566
I'm voting at 8:30, you guys will come
with me, watch me vote, then go home.
506
00:27:14,734 --> 00:27:17,734
Man, what good is...?
I mean, they're not gonna let me vote.
507
00:27:17,903 --> 00:27:20,061
It's like my face is pressed up
to the window.
508
00:27:20,238 --> 00:27:22,231
That's right, yet somehow,
I don't care.
509
00:27:22,407 --> 00:27:23,735
I'm old enough to vote.
510
00:27:23,908 --> 00:27:26,196
- You're 18?
- I'm 19.
511
00:27:26,368 --> 00:27:28,160
They came to school to sign
up people.
512
00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:31,240
- You're registered to vote?
- I think I might be, yeah.
513
00:27:31,414 --> 00:27:33,039
- Where?
- He doesn't know where.
514
00:27:33,208 --> 00:27:35,912
- I don't know where.
- Well, let's find out.
515
00:27:39,838 --> 00:27:42,411
- Good afternoon, Mr. President.
- Good afternoon, sir.
516
00:27:42,590 --> 00:27:44,547
Hello. Hi.
517
00:27:44,717 --> 00:27:48,168
- What's going on?
- Line one now is a DSS line.
518
00:27:48,345 --> 00:27:51,548
It means Direct Station Select.
Pick it up, you get me.
519
00:27:51,723 --> 00:27:53,596
What was wrong with the old way?
520
00:27:53,766 --> 00:27:55,391
- You done?
- Yes, ma'am.
521
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,184
Thanks a lot.
522
00:27:59,646 --> 00:28:02,018
- I'm sorry, sir.
- What was wrong with the old way?
523
00:28:02,232 --> 00:28:03,891
- Well, this is better.
- How?
524
00:28:04,067 --> 00:28:06,522
You don't care, sir, it just is.
525
00:28:08,195 --> 00:28:11,030
I hear you've got rules for meetings.
526
00:28:11,239 --> 00:28:13,777
Yes, some. Yes, I do, sir.
527
00:28:13,950 --> 00:28:18,113
You don't think that's apt to create
resentment among people here before...
528
00:28:18,287 --> 00:28:20,777
It's not like the thing wasn't working.
529
00:28:20,997 --> 00:28:23,749
Whatever you assume,
that wasn't a rube sitting out there.
530
00:28:23,958 --> 00:28:27,872
She ran the Oval Office for two years
and a State House before that.
531
00:28:28,045 --> 00:28:31,793
Yes, sir. At any rate,
line one gets you me.
532
00:28:32,173 --> 00:28:34,249
What if, instead of you,
I want a dial tone?
533
00:28:34,425 --> 00:28:36,750
That's line two,
but you're not gonna want one.
534
00:28:36,927 --> 00:28:38,920
- Why?
- I'm gonna place your outgoing calls.
535
00:28:39,096 --> 00:28:42,215
- You'll place a lot of them...
- No, sir, I need to place them all.
536
00:28:42,432 --> 00:28:43,974
I can make my own phone call...
537
00:28:44,142 --> 00:28:45,968
- Sir.
- I can make my own phone call.
538
00:28:46,185 --> 00:28:49,719
Yes, but soon you might not
necessarily remember that you did.
539
00:28:49,938 --> 00:28:52,725
When I call, there's a record.
That's how you'll know.
540
00:28:52,941 --> 00:28:55,478
And then you won't
be worried about it.
541
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:58,861
That's good. That's a good idea.
542
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:01,652
- Is there anything else?
- No.
543
00:29:01,823 --> 00:29:04,029
Thank you, Mr. President.
544
00:29:07,244 --> 00:29:08,786
You and I haven't met.
545
00:29:09,496 --> 00:29:12,165
In my life, I never would've
thought she was a rube.
546
00:29:12,916 --> 00:29:14,374
I'm sorry about that.
547
00:29:16,752 --> 00:29:19,457
Debbie, I have to ask you:
548
00:29:19,671 --> 00:29:23,455
Are we talking about...?
Did you bring it up because you...?
549
00:29:23,633 --> 00:29:27,962
- Is there something today you noticed?
- No, sir. Do you feel all right? Should I...?
550
00:29:28,179 --> 00:29:30,550
No, please. I was talking
about something else.
551
00:29:30,722 --> 00:29:32,097
Line one is you?
552
00:29:32,307 --> 00:29:34,180
- Yes, sir.
- Thanks.
553
00:29:51,198 --> 00:29:52,775
Will, you have Sheryl Cryman...
554
00:29:52,949 --> 00:29:56,234
...that's the County Clerk's legal
counsel, it's blinking.
555
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,575
Sheryl, it's Will Bailey, how you doing?
556
00:30:00,747 --> 00:30:02,407
Fine, thank you.
557
00:30:02,582 --> 00:30:06,829
There are scattered power outages in
the Casa Verde precinct in Santa Ana.
558
00:30:07,003 --> 00:30:11,545
Streetlights are going off in the only
legitimately Democratic precinct I've got.
559
00:30:11,715 --> 00:30:14,715
So if I lose by 100 because people
couldn't cross the street...
560
00:30:14,884 --> 00:30:17,885
...who in your office would I talk to
about election tampering?
561
00:30:18,054 --> 00:30:20,840
Thanks a lot, Sheryl.
I appreciate it.
562
00:30:21,014 --> 00:30:23,931
Pull sound trucks from Laguna Hills,
not enough foot traffic.
563
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:25,428
- Put them in Anaheim.
- Will.
564
00:30:25,602 --> 00:30:27,428
- When the hell's it gonna rain?
- Willy.
565
00:30:27,603 --> 00:30:29,263
Don't call me that.
566
00:30:29,772 --> 00:30:33,021
The die's been cast, big brother,
you're making everyone crazy.
567
00:30:33,233 --> 00:30:36,399
There's a moment after you cast the die,
before it hits the table.
568
00:30:36,569 --> 00:30:41,610
Breathe wrong, you'll change the way
it lands. Can I get a new weather report?
569
00:30:46,702 --> 00:30:49,656
There's value here, there's value,
gotta appreciate the value.
570
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:52,403
- A Ritchie vote in Wisconsin.
- Let me ask you this.
571
00:30:52,582 --> 00:30:56,247
Bartlet's supposed to be smart, right?
He's smart, we're dumb, he knows best.
572
00:30:56,461 --> 00:30:59,959
So what does it say when his people
don't know how to fill out a ballot?
573
00:31:00,172 --> 00:31:01,880
Maybe he's a little out of touch.
574
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:03,465
Is that what it says?
575
00:31:03,675 --> 00:31:06,794
Maybe even with the president's
supporters accidentally voting...
576
00:31:06,969 --> 00:31:10,172
...for the wrong candidate you're still
gonna get creamed, fascist!
577
00:31:10,347 --> 00:31:12,138
- This is an honor thing!
- Excuse me.
578
00:31:12,307 --> 00:31:14,134
Yes. Hi.
579
00:31:14,309 --> 00:31:16,385
- Did somebody steal your purse?
- Me? No.
580
00:31:16,602 --> 00:31:18,725
- Okay.
- I'm on a mission.
581
00:31:18,896 --> 00:31:22,561
I said I'd be 20 minutes. It's been six
hours and it's starting to get cold.
582
00:31:22,733 --> 00:31:24,392
Okay. You were shouting at no one.
583
00:31:25,026 --> 00:31:27,980
- Little guy. Bow tie.
- Long as you're okay.
584
00:31:28,154 --> 00:31:30,561
Wait. Hang on.
585
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,940
Do you mind if I ask you
who you're voting for?
586
00:31:35,118 --> 00:31:37,905
- I guess I do, yeah.
- That's fair, that's perfectly fair.
587
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,619
Let me ask you this instead: Are you
voting for Ritchie or the president?
588
00:31:41,790 --> 00:31:45,455
- I'm gonna go inside now, okay?
- Lieutenant, I'm not a crazy person...
589
00:31:45,627 --> 00:31:48,663
...I'm not asking you for the
bomb sequence on the USS Essex.
590
00:31:48,838 --> 00:31:53,166
- Be a man, tell me who you're voting for.
- Ritchie, and you demoted me a rank.
591
00:31:53,967 --> 00:31:56,374
I'm so sorry.
592
00:31:56,553 --> 00:31:59,553
I'm seeing your shoulders now,
Lieutenant Commander.
593
00:31:59,722 --> 00:32:01,430
Reese.
594
00:32:01,807 --> 00:32:03,764
Reese is a nice name. Reese what?
595
00:32:03,934 --> 00:32:06,092
Lieutenant Commander Reese.
Jack Reese.
596
00:32:06,269 --> 00:32:07,644
Can I talk to you?
597
00:32:07,854 --> 00:32:12,729
You know, this is the first election I
haven't had to vote by absentee ballot.
598
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,559
I really wanted to pull the lever.
599
00:32:14,734 --> 00:32:17,439
Absentee ballot, I know how you feel.
I'm from Wisconsin.
600
00:32:17,612 --> 00:32:20,529
It's my home, but here I am in
Washington on Election Day.
601
00:32:20,698 --> 00:32:23,651
I'm usually on a Los Angeles-class
sub in the South China Sea.
602
00:32:23,825 --> 00:32:26,577
Don't trump me. It's not a battle.
We're in this together.
603
00:32:26,744 --> 00:32:28,571
No, we're not.
604
00:32:29,622 --> 00:32:31,661
I voted absentee in Wisconsin.
605
00:32:31,832 --> 00:32:34,453
I voted for Ritchie.
I meant to vote for the president.
606
00:32:34,626 --> 00:32:38,575
Now I think you should go in there and
vote the other way to make it a wash.
607
00:32:42,091 --> 00:32:44,297
- Yeah, okay.
- Look...
608
00:32:45,969 --> 00:32:47,463
Really?
609
00:32:47,637 --> 00:32:49,380
Yeah, that sounds about right.
610
00:32:52,975 --> 00:32:55,216
- I'm Donna.
- Jack.
611
00:32:55,435 --> 00:32:58,352
- Commander.
- Jack's fine.
612
00:32:58,938 --> 00:33:00,681
So...
613
00:33:00,856 --> 00:33:02,765
...why aren't you on a sub right now?
614
00:33:02,941 --> 00:33:05,230
I haven't been for a little while.
615
00:33:05,402 --> 00:33:08,486
- What's your billet?
- It used to be Regional Director for...
616
00:33:08,654 --> 00:33:12,105
...the office of Joint Chiefs of
Southeast Asia, but I got transferred.
617
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:15,900
Nancy McNally's office.
She's the National Security Advisor.
618
00:33:16,077 --> 00:33:18,864
- You're working at the White House?
- Yeah.
619
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,455
Listen...
620
00:33:20,623 --> 00:33:23,540
...I gotta go vote, okay?
- Yeah, sure.
621
00:33:23,709 --> 00:33:26,994
Listen, I've got a photocopy
of my absentee ballot...
622
00:33:27,170 --> 00:33:29,328
...if you wanna verify that I...
- No, no.
623
00:33:29,505 --> 00:33:31,497
It's an honor thing, right?
624
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:34,628
Yeah.
625
00:33:35,051 --> 00:33:36,427
Okay.
626
00:33:55,277 --> 00:33:57,316
Now there are late exits
showing even...
627
00:33:57,487 --> 00:34:00,855
...with white male suburbans in
New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
628
00:34:01,032 --> 00:34:05,444
There's huge labor turnout, we're only
losing Florida by seven. Seven.
629
00:34:05,619 --> 00:34:08,109
Toby, I think it's gonna be
bigger than we thought.
630
00:34:09,288 --> 00:34:11,744
I stare at this and I stare at this...
631
00:34:11,916 --> 00:34:15,118
...and I don't know which is
the boy and which is the girl.
632
00:34:16,169 --> 00:34:18,660
I suppose that problem will
take care of itself.
633
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,417
You know, if you, if you stare
at them for a while...
634
00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:25,125
...well, it's pretty gross, but still...
- I'm concerned you've turned...
635
00:34:25,302 --> 00:34:28,136
...completely into another person...
- Hey.
636
00:34:28,304 --> 00:34:32,515
I see one victory balloon before
this thing is called and...
637
00:34:32,683 --> 00:34:34,640
Yeah, you better run.
638
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:38,645
Nothing.
639
00:34:43,150 --> 00:34:45,273
- You read the stuff?
- Yeah.
640
00:34:45,444 --> 00:34:47,353
- It wasn't long.
- Yeah.
641
00:34:47,529 --> 00:34:50,648
I was impartial, right?
I gave you the best and worst of each.
642
00:34:50,823 --> 00:34:53,065
Hey, Mr. Young...
643
00:34:53,242 --> 00:34:57,488
...I'm not being disrespectful or nothing,
but I'm just trying to concentrate.
644
00:34:57,662 --> 00:35:00,413
Listen, this is easy.
You can do it no problem...
645
00:35:00,581 --> 00:35:03,950
...but if you need to,
you can ask for help, you're allowed.
646
00:35:04,126 --> 00:35:05,999
Okay.
647
00:35:06,169 --> 00:35:09,585
Hey, listen, why does a guy who's
heading off to the Big Ten...
648
00:35:09,756 --> 00:35:12,590
...care about playing
St. Erasmus Academy on Saturday?
649
00:35:12,758 --> 00:35:15,083
You're gonna be playing
Michigan and Penn State.
650
00:35:15,260 --> 00:35:16,588
I don't know.
651
00:35:16,761 --> 00:35:19,133
It's what I do on Saturdays.
652
00:35:19,847 --> 00:35:23,891
Hey, you know what? I know I'm not
the sharpest tool in the box or nothing...
653
00:35:24,059 --> 00:35:27,309
...but try rushing the quarterback,
you know what I'm saying?
654
00:35:27,479 --> 00:35:31,891
You're not gonna get there,
you're not gonna touch him.
655
00:35:32,066 --> 00:35:33,939
You're up.
656
00:35:40,615 --> 00:35:42,903
He's a good guy, you know.
He does his business.
657
00:35:43,075 --> 00:35:45,482
He just doesn't like
looking like a fool.
658
00:35:46,995 --> 00:35:50,529
- How long did you hang onto the goat?
- Three days.
659
00:35:50,706 --> 00:35:53,197
- Three days.
- Yeah.
660
00:35:54,793 --> 00:35:56,584
What'd you feed him?
661
00:35:57,129 --> 00:35:59,287
- Cheetos.
- Okay.
662
00:36:01,716 --> 00:36:03,210
Hey.
663
00:36:03,384 --> 00:36:05,423
Hey, Anthony, I voted.
664
00:36:05,594 --> 00:36:07,467
All right.
665
00:36:08,638 --> 00:36:11,639
- I'm going again.
- No, no, no, no, no.
666
00:36:11,807 --> 00:36:14,974
- Will!
- Come on.
667
00:36:15,769 --> 00:36:19,019
Come inside and have
something to eat with us.
668
00:36:19,189 --> 00:36:20,683
Come on.
669
00:36:21,816 --> 00:36:25,065
- Will.
- Now!
670
00:36:28,446 --> 00:36:30,237
Jesus.
671
00:36:32,033 --> 00:36:34,950
Wow. What else can you do?
672
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,651
I didn't know I could do that!
673
00:36:43,084 --> 00:36:44,542
- It's on. You can see it.
- Hey.
674
00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:46,702
I'm not spitting, I'm not turning around.
675
00:36:46,878 --> 00:36:48,835
Union households are
beating non-union.
676
00:36:49,005 --> 00:36:50,962
- C.J. Can you pick up three?
- Yeah.
677
00:36:51,632 --> 00:36:54,253
This is C.J. Thanks.
678
00:36:54,426 --> 00:36:56,335
- What was that?
- You'll see in a minute.
679
00:36:56,511 --> 00:36:58,670
Nine o'clock.
680
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:09,808
Good evening, Mr. President.
681
00:37:09,981 --> 00:37:12,554
I feel like I should be self-deprecating.
682
00:37:12,733 --> 00:37:15,402
I mean, it's not inauguration,
I can be funny, right?
683
00:37:15,569 --> 00:37:21,155
I don't think so. It's the wrong note.
If I'm thanking campaign staff, maybe.
684
00:37:22,158 --> 00:37:25,324
- What are you doing?
- We've got some news.
685
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:30,241
What?
686
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:35,582
What?
687
00:37:36,253 --> 00:37:38,660
You're gonna win New Hampshire.
688
00:37:59,231 --> 00:38:04,307
With seventy of the precincts reporting,
CBS is ready to declare Delaware...
689
00:38:04,485 --> 00:38:07,604
... with its three electoral votes
for President Bartlet.
690
00:38:07,779 --> 00:38:11,314
Closing an hour ago, NBC is putting
Maryland in the President's column.
691
00:38:11,491 --> 00:38:13,779
With 22 percent of the vote
tallied in Maine...
692
00:38:13,951 --> 00:38:15,742
Polls are closed in West Virginia...
693
00:38:15,911 --> 00:38:18,532
The polls closing in Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania...
694
00:38:42,558 --> 00:38:47,718
Halfway around the world in Bosnia,
in Chechnya, in Rwanda...
695
00:38:47,896 --> 00:38:51,229
...they dream of the promise
we fulfilled today.
696
00:38:51,399 --> 00:38:55,859
Of a future we choose,
for ourselves, together.
697
00:38:56,070 --> 00:38:58,192
Sam, what's going on?
698
00:38:58,363 --> 00:39:00,272
They're not calling it.
699
00:39:00,699 --> 00:39:04,482
With 8 percent of the precincts
reporting, remains too close to call.
700
00:39:04,660 --> 00:39:07,151
My goodness, if you lived
to be 100, did you think...
701
00:39:07,329 --> 00:39:09,902
...you'd ever see anything like this?
- I did not.
702
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:15,323
Four years ago, we were joined by
our highest ideals, by our best hopes...
703
00:39:15,544 --> 00:39:18,331
...and tonight we're joined
by that same commitment.
704
00:39:18,547 --> 00:39:22,875
To open new doors of
opportunity and justice.
705
00:39:30,682 --> 00:39:36,553
To ensure that the promise of this
country is the birthright of all the people.
706
00:39:39,815 --> 00:39:42,021
We've achieved so much together...
707
00:39:42,483 --> 00:39:48,106
...always believing, always knowing that
America could be made new again.
708
00:39:48,322 --> 00:39:51,856
And so it was, and so it will be again.
709
00:39:52,158 --> 00:39:53,736
God bless you all.
710
00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:57,954
God bless the United States
of America.
711
00:40:20,432 --> 00:40:23,765
We're gonna skip the parties for a while
and head back to the office.
712
00:40:23,935 --> 00:40:27,552
There are nine House races too close
to call. Tell him about California.
713
00:40:27,730 --> 00:40:31,596
- In the California 47th...
- In the 47th... You don't tell it well.
714
00:40:31,775 --> 00:40:36,352
In the 47th, Horton Wilde,
who's dead, is losing by 88 votes.
715
00:40:36,529 --> 00:40:38,071
- It was a perfect storm.
- It was.
716
00:40:38,238 --> 00:40:41,155
Low Republican turnout because
the president won the Midwest.
717
00:40:41,324 --> 00:40:43,897
Low supporter turnout because
Webb had no opponent...
718
00:40:44,118 --> 00:40:48,281
...and the DNC gave up on it
a week ago, so the RNC left town...
719
00:40:48,455 --> 00:40:51,705
...and they never saw the exits
your guy, Will Bailey, was seeing.
720
00:40:51,875 --> 00:40:54,745
Plus there was an actual storm.
I tell it fine.
721
00:40:54,919 --> 00:40:57,872
We're gonna be up all night
with these. It's gonna be fun.
722
00:40:58,088 --> 00:41:00,413
We should go.
723
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:39,491
- That was wonderful.
- That was fun.
724
00:41:39,665 --> 00:41:41,704
- How are you feeling?
- I feel great.
725
00:41:41,875 --> 00:41:43,914
- You want a glass of water?
- No, I'm fine.
726
00:41:44,085 --> 00:41:45,413
You seem a little dry.
727
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:47,709
- Sure you don't want a glass of water?
- Yeah.
728
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,631
Maybe I should get you a glass
of water just in case...
729
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:52,714
...you can hold it in your hand.
730
00:41:58,722 --> 00:42:00,715
How'd you know?
731
00:42:01,475 --> 00:42:04,143
You were off the prompter.
732
00:42:04,686 --> 00:42:07,057
Just for a minute at the end.
I couldn't see it.
733
00:42:07,229 --> 00:42:09,387
It's all right.
734
00:42:12,776 --> 00:42:15,313
There are gonna be
more days like this.
735
00:42:15,486 --> 00:42:17,562
It starts now.
736
00:42:17,738 --> 00:42:20,276
It's gonna be harder this time.
737
00:42:20,449 --> 00:42:22,690
Yeah, I know.
738
00:42:23,451 --> 00:42:26,487
We can still have tonight,
though, right?
739
00:42:29,081 --> 00:42:31,998
You got lots of nights.
740
00:42:32,209 --> 00:42:36,075
Smart people who love you
are gonna have your back.
741
00:42:39,089 --> 00:42:40,916
All right.
742
00:42:42,134 --> 00:42:45,965
Excuse me. You wanna take
another curtain call?
743
00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:48,506
Sure.
744
00:42:49,305 --> 00:42:55,429
