1
00:00:04,438 --> 00:00:06,274
Previously on The West Wing:

2
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,641
The people need to believe
that when he comes back,

3
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:08,776
he'll be able to govern
effectively,

4
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:09,943
even if he can't secure

5
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:11,479
the safety of
his own family.

6
00:00:11,545 --> 00:00:13,614
Sir, I'm a Special Assistant
to the President.

7
00:00:13,681 --> 00:00:16,084
Chief Strategist and Senior
Counselor to the Vice President.

8
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:17,818
He took the Russell job.

9
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,487
And I'd like you to personally
deliver that to the President.

10
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:23,257
You're leaving the party be...

11
00:00:23,324 --> 00:00:25,025
This is 'cause of me?!

12
00:00:25,093 --> 00:00:27,027
I'm not leaving
'cause of you.

13
00:00:27,095 --> 00:00:29,263
But you made it
a whole lot easier.

14
00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:32,166
ALL:
Surprise!

15
00:00:32,233 --> 00:00:34,602
Happy birthday!

16
00:00:36,404 --> 00:00:37,805
DONNA:
Talk to me.

17
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:39,507
C.J:
Beer, please?

18
00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:41,342
If I haven't
said it recently...

19
00:00:41,409 --> 00:00:44,478
Bless me and
my mini-fridge.

20
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:46,046
So, how bad?

21
00:00:46,114 --> 00:00:49,250
All the dailies
are gonna jump on it:
the Post, the Times.

22
00:00:49,317 --> 00:00:50,951
Fox will have
a field day.

23
00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:52,886
Newsweek will do a cover.

24
00:00:52,953 --> 00:00:56,557
The Sunday morning shows
will hang Josh from a klieg
light, use him as a piñata.

25
00:00:56,624 --> 00:00:57,625
All of which is okay.

26
00:00:57,691 --> 00:00:59,360
We can't put a lid
on the story,

27
00:00:59,427 --> 00:01:00,661
but we can try to control
the Schadenfreude,

28
00:01:00,728 --> 00:01:02,263
make sure he's still standing
in a week.

29
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:03,564
Schadenfreude?

30
00:01:03,631 --> 00:01:05,466
You know, "enjoying
the suffering of others."

31
00:01:05,533 --> 00:01:09,170
The whole rationale behind
the House of Representatives.

32
00:01:09,237 --> 00:01:10,871
It's all about
setting the right tone,

33
00:01:10,938 --> 00:01:13,374
and it has to start
first thing Monday.

34
00:01:13,441 --> 00:01:14,908
That's where you come in.

35
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:17,077
You look nice.

36
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:18,446
I feel good.

37
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:19,547
You look good.

38
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:23,016
Why are you here?

39
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,152
I could tell you
it's because

40
00:01:24,218 --> 00:01:25,353
I needed a clean
copy of the Post

41
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:26,654
but the truth is,
I have a crush

42
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,222
on the little old man
at the cappuccino stand.

43
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:33,327
You okay?

44
00:01:33,394 --> 00:01:35,796
I already told you.
I feel good.

45
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:37,531
So, you're not...

46
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:40,501
I have my health,
I have central air--

47
00:01:40,568 --> 00:01:42,303
in the hierarchy of
pain and suffering,

48
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:43,837
I really can't complain.

49
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:45,005
I mean, I will...

50
00:01:45,072 --> 00:01:46,240
And you're not--
It's a blip!

51
00:01:46,307 --> 00:01:47,040
I can't get worked
up about it.

52
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:50,010
Good for you!

53
00:01:50,077 --> 00:01:53,214
That's what we said to
my grandmother when she
was down to 84 pounds.

54
00:01:53,281 --> 00:01:55,249
C.J.:
You've got to help him
protect his image,

55
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:56,384
project business as usual.

56
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:57,851
He's got to do real work.

57
00:01:57,918 --> 00:01:59,353
No meetings
that are below him,

58
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:01,722
nothing with the Dairy Caucus
or the Malt Beverage Lobby.

59
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:03,857
I set up a call with the Idaho
Democratic Party Chair.

60
00:02:03,924 --> 00:02:07,060
I figure if you can survive
his wrath, you're good to go.

61
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,296
Check with Defense Approps

62
00:02:08,362 --> 00:02:09,730
every hour on the
hour, will you?

63
00:02:09,797 --> 00:02:11,732
That launcher better
not be on the bill.

64
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:13,501
I'm not going to lose
Carrick and buy him

65
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:16,170
a useless piece of
military junk.

66
00:02:16,237 --> 00:02:16,970
Anything from Leo?

67
00:02:17,037 --> 00:02:18,506
Not yet.

68
00:02:18,572 --> 00:02:19,807
You said Margaret said
first thing in the morning.

69
00:02:19,873 --> 00:02:21,108
He got jammed up.

70
00:02:21,175 --> 00:02:23,076
Something about
missing plutonium in Chechnya.

71
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,845
Like that matters.

72
00:02:24,912 --> 00:02:26,146
What is this?

73
00:02:26,214 --> 00:02:28,349
What the hell are
you doing out here?

74
00:02:28,416 --> 00:02:29,917
You met me outside

75
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,985
so when you told me Leo
hadn't set a meeting yet,

76
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:34,222
I'd be out of the building
if I got upset.

77
00:02:34,288 --> 00:02:36,290
I have a crush
on the cappuccino man.

78
00:02:36,357 --> 00:02:37,391
Have you seen
his little newsboy cap?

79
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:39,293
I'm not upset.

80
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,594
C.J.:
If he'd come to me,
I'd tell him myself,

81
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:42,363
except men are funny that way.

82
00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:44,698
He'd never come to me.

83
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:46,400
I'm just trying to see
around the corner

84
00:02:46,467 --> 00:02:48,135
so I don't get
bit in the ass.

85
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:50,338
Are you going around
the corner ass-first?

86
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:52,340
You'll be fine.

87
00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:54,174
Sam called, Amy called.

88
00:02:54,242 --> 00:02:55,443
Sam wanted me to remind you:

89
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:56,810
Gotta roll with the punches.

90
00:02:56,877 --> 00:02:58,412
Any reporters?

91
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:01,615
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox,
New York Times, the Post,

92
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:03,251
Detroit Free Press,
Miami Herald,

93
00:03:03,317 --> 00:03:04,452
Nightline, Dateline...

94
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,053
Hey, Josh,
are you okay?

95
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:07,288
Yeah, I'm great.

96
00:03:07,355 --> 00:03:10,190
Well, keep your chin up.

97
00:03:10,258 --> 00:03:13,261
Do people keep cliche
thesauruses around
for times like this?

98
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,529
Oh, my God.
What?

99
00:03:15,596 --> 00:03:18,165
TV REPORTER:
A tornado touched down before
dawn, killing at least 17

100
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:19,400
and devastating
much of McClain County.

101
00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:20,834
I have to call my cousins.

102
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:22,202
I thought they were
in Wisconsin.

103
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:24,505
My other cousins!

104
00:03:24,572 --> 00:03:26,173
...over 100 citizens
are still missing.

105
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,675
Search-and-rescue crews
are expected

106
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:30,378
to reach the site
within the hour.

107
00:03:30,444 --> 00:03:33,213
Hey, don't let the
bastards get you down.

108
00:04:25,299 --> 00:04:28,035
C.J.:
So, a five on the Fujita scale,
that's a...

109
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,603
Vast and violent
vacuum cleaner,

110
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:31,071
uprooting everything
in its path.

111
00:04:31,138 --> 00:04:32,306
It's a funnel cloud.

112
00:04:32,373 --> 00:04:34,041
A vast and violent
vacuum cleaner.

113
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:35,609
It's a vacuum cleaner
and a funnel cloud.

114
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:37,411
See, men? Peace on Earth.

115
00:04:37,478 --> 00:04:38,979
How are Donna's cousins?

116
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:40,781
They're fine. They're up
in Tulsa or somewhere.

117
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:46,387
The FCO is requesting activation
of the National Guard.

118
00:04:46,454 --> 00:04:48,622
I remember the tornado
warning sirens.

119
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:51,359
My whole family cramming
into the bathroom
in the garage.

120
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:53,260
LEO:
We all set for
the Chancellor?

121
00:04:53,327 --> 00:04:54,628
You had a bathroom
in your garage?!

122
00:04:54,695 --> 00:04:56,864
He's addressing the U.N.
tomorrow afternoon

123
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:58,165
then flying down here
on Wednesday morning

124
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,166
to meet with
the President.

125
00:04:59,232 --> 00:05:00,634
Anything new
on Carrick?

126
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:03,303
Yeah.
He's a Republican.

127
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,239
Newer?

128
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,941
Haffley's planning
to use Carrick's
defection

129
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:10,844
to slide a cap gains
tax cut into our
stimulus package.

130
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:13,013
Apparently
it's "Seize the Day" Day.

131
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,915
Or "Blow Up the Deficit" Day.
C.J.:
See what you did?

132
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,684
You have everything
you need for the briefing?

133
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:18,586
Is the President
going to Oklahoma?

134
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:19,487
I don't want him
to be in the way.

135
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,821
Getting his picture taken

136
00:05:20,888 --> 00:05:22,456
with a family who
just lost their house

137
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:24,191
might play like he's
trying to raise his numbers.

138
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:26,259
Or getting his picture
taken with a family
who just lost their house

139
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,161
might make other people
feel like the President
gives a damn.

140
00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:29,963
Photo ops aren't cynical.
They give people hope.

141
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:30,798
Hope.

142
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:32,332
What is that?
We send Russell.

143
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,967
Nobody gets hurt.

144
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:36,203
In that case, the President
sends his condolences
and prayers.

145
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:38,739
Toby, find Will and tell
him what time the VP's
going to Oklahoma.

146
00:05:38,806 --> 00:05:41,074
That's it.
Thanks, everyone.

147
00:05:41,141 --> 00:05:42,142
JOSH:
Thank you, Leo.

148
00:05:42,209 --> 00:05:43,577
Josh...
Yeah.

149
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:45,479
Stick around for a minute.

150
00:05:46,914 --> 00:05:48,682
Listen, on that
cap gains thing,

151
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:50,884
we should get Singer
to send Haffley...

152
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:52,019
Margaret!

153
00:05:54,422 --> 00:05:56,557
Get the door, would you?

154
00:06:00,494 --> 00:06:02,796
Nobody's happy you lost Carrick,

155
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,565
but we're all about
moving forward,

156
00:06:04,632 --> 00:06:06,099
and we can't do that
without you.

157
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:09,537
I do, however, have to take you
out to the wood shed

158
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:11,672
and whack you
with a two-by-four.

159
00:06:11,739 --> 00:06:13,407
Carrick was never really
a Democrat. Word is

160
00:06:13,474 --> 00:06:14,508
he was working the
Republicans for...

161
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:16,009
I'm sorry, whack away.

162
00:06:16,076 --> 00:06:18,712
Maybe the camel's back
was already broken,

163
00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:20,047
but you gave him the straw,

164
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,349
and then you drove over him
with a tank!

165
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:25,285
The President and I

166
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:27,020
think you've been spread
too thin.

167
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:28,522
We're going to scale back
your portfolio.

168
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:30,458
Probably some of
the legislative stuff.

169
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:31,859
I'll let you know
the details

170
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:34,428
as soon as I take
the temperature of the caucus.

171
00:06:34,495 --> 00:06:37,164
But you keep your title,
your staff.

172
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,067
Okay.

173
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:43,971
Thanks.

174
00:06:46,674 --> 00:06:48,041
FEMA Director on two.

175
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:50,944
Leo, does C.J. have...

176
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:51,812
"Josh Lyman

177
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,080
"is one of the President's

178
00:06:53,146 --> 00:06:54,582
"most trusted advisers

179
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:57,017
and has the absolute
confidence of the President."

180
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:58,118
I'm gone.

181
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:01,822
Dan, what's happening
on the ground?

182
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:03,323
DONNA:
Oh, thank God.

183
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:04,892
You thought
I was cooked.

184
00:07:04,958 --> 00:07:05,893
I did not.

185
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:07,728
You thought I was gone,
and so were you.

186
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:09,362
You were already
cleaning out your desk,

187
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:10,564
mentally kicking
dirt on my grave.

188
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:12,032
No, now I'm doing that.

189
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:13,366
Confirm my dinner
with Wilcox tomorrow.

190
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:14,935
Make sure I have
my usual table.

191
00:07:15,002 --> 00:07:16,103
That's good.

192
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:17,871
You're getting out.
A man about town.

193
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:19,072
Set up a meeting
with Ted Davis

194
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:20,874
at the Democratic
Strategy Group

195
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:22,976
and one with the Security
Policy Working Group.

196
00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:25,078
Crack some heads, send a message
you're riding herd.

197
00:07:25,145 --> 00:07:26,547
I'm not helping.

198
00:07:26,614 --> 00:07:27,748
It's a blip, Donna.

199
00:07:27,815 --> 00:07:29,249
When I write
my political memoir,

200
00:07:29,316 --> 00:07:30,984
this'll be the character-
building funny part.

201
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:33,086
I thought I was the character-
building funny part.

202
00:07:36,256 --> 00:07:38,826
WILL:
If we want environmentalists
to go along with using cyanide

203
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:40,460
in gold mining,
we have to come up

204
00:07:40,528 --> 00:07:43,196
with a warmer, fuzzier word
for it than... Am I boring you?

205
00:07:43,263 --> 00:07:46,133
Sorry. I was up late
with the President
playing Scopa d'Assi.

206
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:47,434
Come again?

207
00:07:47,501 --> 00:07:48,836
It's an obscure
Italian card game.

208
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:50,103
The cards are in Latin.

209
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:52,039
He told me Sinatra
gave him the deck,

210
00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:53,674
but I think he was just
trying to get me to
stay longer.

211
00:07:53,741 --> 00:07:55,408
TOBY:
We need the VP
to go to Oklahoma.

212
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:56,744
WILL:
Yeah, I heard.

213
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,345
Soon as you get space
nearer the Vice President,

214
00:07:58,411 --> 00:08:00,080
I want your office back.

215
00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:01,314
He hates me.

216
00:08:01,381 --> 00:08:03,584
Oh, yeah. The way you hate
the girl you ask to the prom

217
00:08:03,651 --> 00:08:04,785
who says, "No, thanks,
I already have a date."

218
00:08:04,852 --> 00:08:06,587
You made a choice.
Now own it.

219
00:08:10,558 --> 00:08:12,125
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.

220
00:08:12,192 --> 00:08:14,027
Good morning.

221
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:16,597
At approximately 5:45 a.m.,
a tornado touched down

222
00:08:16,664 --> 00:08:18,566
outside Maysville, Oklahoma.

223
00:08:18,632 --> 00:08:20,133
27 bodies have been recovered

224
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,402
and over 50 people
are still missing.

225
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:24,004
At Governor Wade's request,

226
00:08:24,071 --> 00:08:26,239
the President has declared
a national emergency.

227
00:08:26,306 --> 00:08:28,809
Will the President
be visiting the site?
The President sends

228
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:30,711
his condolences and prayers
to the victims.

229
00:08:30,778 --> 00:08:32,279
He's dispatched FEMA Director
Daniel Rubin

230
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:34,848
to survey the damage and
update him throughout the day.

231
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:36,717
C.J., when is General Alexander

232
00:08:36,784 --> 00:08:38,552
going to present his fourth
readiness assessment?

233
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:40,020
General Alexander's

234
00:08:40,087 --> 00:08:41,889
only been Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs a week.

235
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:43,857
Let's give him some time
to find the paper clips.

236
00:08:43,924 --> 00:08:45,626
But if you'd care to get him
a housewarming gift,

237
00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:47,027
he's registered
at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

238
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:47,961
( laughter )

239
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,029
C.J.,

240
00:08:49,096 --> 00:08:50,698
would you care
to comment on reports

241
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:52,766
that after losing Carrick
to the Republicans,

242
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,034
the President no longer
trusts Josh Lyman

243
00:08:54,101 --> 00:08:55,569
to work with Congress.

244
00:08:55,636 --> 00:08:57,705
Josh is one of the President's
closest, most trusted advisers.

245
00:08:57,771 --> 00:08:58,772
So he won't be
stripped

246
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:00,107
of his legislative portfolio?

247
00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:01,642
Absolutely not. His portfolio
always fluctuates

248
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:02,910
to suit
the President's needs.

249
00:09:02,976 --> 00:09:03,911
Which are?

250
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:05,879
Food, water,
an occasional ball game.

251
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:06,814
( laughter,
reporters shouting )

252
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,748
Yes.

253
00:09:07,815 --> 00:09:10,050
( indistinct audio over TV )

254
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:17,591
You're not going to ask me
if I'm okay?

255
00:09:17,658 --> 00:09:20,728
Do I look like
your mommy?

256
00:09:20,794 --> 00:09:24,097
Take your medicine,
keep your head down.

257
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:27,300
I said DEA, not EPA.

258
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:33,140
Leo said he's scaling back
my portfolio,

259
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:34,975
which is unmistakably
euphemistic

260
00:09:35,042 --> 00:09:38,111
for "We're giving it
to someone else."

261
00:09:40,013 --> 00:09:42,182
This is the part
where you say it's not me.

262
00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:43,550
Oh, this is the part?

263
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:44,885
Yeah. I'm letting you
off the hook.

264
00:09:44,952 --> 00:09:46,954
This is also the
part with the hook?

265
00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:49,489
They're gathering in the Oval.

266
00:09:49,556 --> 00:09:52,292
This isn't it, either.

267
00:09:55,863 --> 00:09:58,398
Think Leo's bringing
somebody in?

268
00:09:58,465 --> 00:10:00,167
Probably. I would.

269
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:04,738
Thanks. I'm sure he'll
appreciate the support.

270
00:10:04,805 --> 00:10:06,273
Why don't they just
send him wreath?

271
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:07,808
I Google'd
Carrick and Lyman.

272
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:09,276
Nothing new linking Josh
to Carrick's move.

273
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:10,711
Uh-huh.

274
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:12,713
But I did find Carricka
Lymanshauser's porn site.

275
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,281
She's a Swiss sensation.

276
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:18,752
2,000 hits so far today.

277
00:10:18,819 --> 00:10:20,087
TOBY:
Looks like Carrick's buddies

278
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:22,990
are jumping on
the Republican, budget-busting,

279
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:24,758
Milton Freidman-worshipping
bandwagon.

280
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:26,459
WILL:
The Blue Dogs
are going to vote

281
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:27,594
for new cap gains
tax cuts?

282
00:10:27,661 --> 00:10:28,628
That's what Singer said.

283
00:10:28,696 --> 00:10:29,797
How many are we
talking about?

284
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:31,298
Twenty-seven.
With Singer,

285
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:33,834
it's 28-- enough to make it
veto-proof in the House.

286
00:10:33,901 --> 00:10:36,036
Remember back when Democrats
used to vote with us?

287
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:39,572
If we can turn Singer,
five or six other Dems
will follow.

288
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:40,874
Let's get him over here today.

289
00:10:40,941 --> 00:10:44,444
I do enjoy Governor Wade.

290
00:10:44,511 --> 00:10:47,480
Minus her little love
affair with handguns
and tort reform.

291
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:49,116
Is the Vice President
ready to go?

292
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:51,284
WILL:
Advance has greeters and
transportation's secure.

293
00:10:51,351 --> 00:10:53,787
The 89th Air Wing's in place
for wheels-up tomorrow morning.

294
00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:55,055
TOBY:
All it takes is
one ambulance

295
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:56,389
held up by the VP's motorcade,

296
00:10:56,456 --> 00:10:57,858
and we'll have a three-day
story.

297
00:10:57,925 --> 00:10:59,960
It's taken care of.
Anyway, a site visit

298
00:11:00,027 --> 00:11:01,594
shouldn't be about politics;
it's about hope.

299
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:02,930
And photo ops.

300
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:04,297
TOBY:
Photo ops are hope.

301
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:08,769
Claudia Jean, did you
just pinch Toby?
I'm sorry, sir.

302
00:11:08,836 --> 00:11:10,537
It was a ( clears throat)
professional dispute.

303
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:11,671
PRESIDENT:
About what?

304
00:11:11,739 --> 00:11:13,273
She thinks you should go.

305
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,674
Really?

306
00:11:14,742 --> 00:11:15,876
Yes, sir.

307
00:11:15,943 --> 00:11:17,677
We need this
Presidential moment.

308
00:11:17,745 --> 00:11:19,046
Let's not give it away
to Russell.

309
00:11:19,112 --> 00:11:21,514
I think you should go,
not because of how it looks

310
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:22,816
because of what it is.

311
00:11:22,883 --> 00:11:26,119
But... I seem to be
the only one.

312
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:31,725
Then you can sit next to me
on the plane.

313
00:11:31,792 --> 00:11:33,093
The Vice President...

314
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,328
...can take my place
at the National PTA Luncheon.

315
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:37,164
If he can figure out why
I was going in the first place,

316
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:38,298
he's a better man than I am.

317
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:39,900
Mr. President,

318
00:11:39,967 --> 00:11:42,369
Secretary Berryhill's
ready for you in
the Cabinet Room.

319
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:43,570
Thank you.

320
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:45,072
We have briefings
and prep

321
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:46,740
tomorrow for the
Chancellor's visit.

322
00:11:46,807 --> 00:11:48,241
Steel tariffs
and unemployment.

323
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:49,642
How could I forget?

324
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,945
Say, you think he'll mention
the rise in German unemployment

325
00:11:52,012 --> 00:11:54,614
might be tied to our bombing
the Qumari pipeline?

326
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,816
We can make the trip
in six hours.

327
00:11:55,883 --> 00:11:57,417
PRESIDENT:
Let's do it.

328
00:11:57,484 --> 00:12:00,821
People need to know I care
about more than just
my own family.

329
00:12:00,888 --> 00:12:03,556
And since you folks
are all quiet,

330
00:12:03,623 --> 00:12:04,992
I know I'm right.

331
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:09,029
Have him back
in five hours, C.J.

332
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:16,736
( tractor rumbling )

333
00:12:29,917 --> 00:12:31,151
Governor Wade, good morning.

334
00:12:31,218 --> 00:12:32,786
Good morning,
Mr. President.

335
00:12:32,853 --> 00:12:34,521
I'm sorry about
the circumstances.

336
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,156
Where are we?

337
00:12:36,223 --> 00:12:39,026
The tornado ripped
the railroad tracks
right out of the ground.

338
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,128
You ask me,
there's nothing scarier

339
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:43,831
than eight-foot
railroad ties flying
through the air.

340
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:46,099
RUBIN:
16 of the dead are
from the trailer park.

341
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:48,035
Over a hundred mobile homes
destroyed.

342
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:49,602
WADE:
Of course...

343
00:12:49,669 --> 00:12:52,472
it's always the folks with
the least who are hit hardest.

344
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:55,242
These people are already
pinching their pennies--

345
00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:57,477
what with the gas tax
and the death tax.

346
00:12:57,544 --> 00:13:00,280
Here we go.
What's the median income?

347
00:13:00,347 --> 00:13:01,648
$31,000.

348
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:06,486
Was. The Safeway distribution
center was right over there.

349
00:13:10,924 --> 00:13:13,526
( tractor rumbling )

350
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:23,703
What website is this?

351
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:27,140
The MSNBC.com.
Kamen called.

352
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:29,576
Heard Leo's already
talking to people.

353
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,245
How do they get
this stuff--
tap Leo's food?

354
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,014
I guess David Glaser's
a possibility,

355
00:13:34,081 --> 00:13:35,615
so is Ned Wallace.

356
00:13:35,682 --> 00:13:37,750
I'm not working with some
K2-climbing-Rhodes-Scholar

357
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:39,319
with a goatee.

358
00:13:39,386 --> 00:13:41,654
He complimented my shoes
at the Correspondents' Dinner.

359
00:13:41,721 --> 00:13:43,090
Well, that's how
he sucks you in.

360
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:45,558
Angela Blake? She's such
a self-promoting,

361
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:47,027
holier-than everybody...

362
00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:48,996
She's not going to give up
her corner office

363
00:13:49,062 --> 00:13:50,730
with a view of the Park.

364
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:54,601
She works at Steerson and
Wallace with David Glaser.

365
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,203
So she's recommending him?

366
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:58,805
They say Mason Fuller's been
"in constant contact" with Leo.

367
00:13:58,872 --> 00:13:59,973
He's selling his boat.

368
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,108
How do you know?

369
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,742
He tried to sell it
to me too.

370
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:04,044
You don't have time
for a boat.

371
00:14:04,111 --> 00:14:06,013
I know, but the 15 minutes
I spent imagining

372
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:07,347
what I'd name it

373
00:14:07,414 --> 00:14:09,849
were perhaps the 15 happiest
minutes of my life.

374
00:14:09,917 --> 00:14:11,451
TV REPORTER:
The sun rose bleakly

375
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:13,653
over the town of Maysville
this morning,

376
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,156
revealing millions of dollars
worth of damage

377
00:14:16,223 --> 00:14:17,857
wreaked by the tornado...

378
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:26,033
They'd just started building
a new church.

379
00:14:26,099 --> 00:14:27,700
Raised all the money
themselves.

380
00:14:27,767 --> 00:14:30,170
That's a lot
of bake sales
and car washes.

381
00:14:30,237 --> 00:14:32,472
A lot of the congregation
is still missing.

382
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:35,208
We have about
a half hour, sir.

383
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:38,545
Where are
all the people?

384
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:40,213
I'm sorry, sir?

385
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,950
From the town--
where are they?

386
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,530
PRESIDENT:
Hi, I'm Jed Bartlet...

387
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:59,332
Find something,
anything-- vans,
pickup trucks.

388
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,800
We have to get
the press here.

389
00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:03,070
No one told us
he'd be traveling
to another site.

390
00:15:03,136 --> 00:15:04,737
Get him through here quickly,
Charlie.

391
00:15:04,804 --> 00:15:05,772
We have to be back
by three.

392
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:07,274
Yeah.

393
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:10,077
Page Leo McGarry,
call holding with C.J. Cregg.

394
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:13,280
Tricycles, rickshaws,
piggyback rides...

395
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:14,747
LEO ( over phone ):
How's he doing?

396
00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:16,549
Great. Uh, listen.
I wanted to give you a heads-up.

397
00:15:16,616 --> 00:15:19,186
We made an impromptu stop
at a Red Cross shelter.

398
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,288
Colonel Gantry says he can make
it up in flight.

399
00:15:21,354 --> 00:15:24,057
State's Germany briefing is
at three. Keep me posted.

400
00:15:24,124 --> 00:15:26,659
Sorry. Where were we?
Mr. Secretary?

401
00:15:26,726 --> 00:15:29,562
11 billion is a waste.
I defer to the General,
but in my opinion,

402
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:31,898
we need to concentrate on
precision-based munitions.

403
00:15:31,965 --> 00:15:34,601
Paying for a state-of-the-art
howitzer is a bit like paying

404
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:36,469
for a state-of-the-art
bow and arrow.

405
00:15:36,536 --> 00:15:37,237
We should kill it.

406
00:15:37,304 --> 00:15:38,838
LEO:
Fine. What else?

407
00:15:38,905 --> 00:15:41,908
The Hellenic Navy forcibly
removed six Albanian soldiers

408
00:15:41,975 --> 00:15:43,610
from the Isle of Croxys
this morning.

409
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:45,145
LEO:
Where's that?

410
00:15:45,212 --> 00:15:47,314
Ionian Sea. The Greeks believe
they own the property.

411
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:48,415
They've raised a flag.

412
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:50,683
Good for them.
Thanks, everybody.

413
00:15:52,119 --> 00:15:53,920
Mr. McGarry,
do you have a minute?

414
00:15:53,987 --> 00:15:55,355
Of course, General.

415
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,126
How's life in the E-Ring?

416
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:01,361
Still moving in,
you know, lot of boxes.

417
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:04,297
Well, we're delighted to have
you take over as Chairman.

418
00:16:04,364 --> 00:16:06,399
Admiral Fitzwallace is
a hard act to follow.

419
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,135
You'll do great.
What's on your mind?

420
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:10,170
I realize this
administration
wants to move

421
00:16:10,237 --> 00:16:11,504
in a new direction;

422
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:13,173
that's why you brought
me in here.

423
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,207
But.

424
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:16,043
But when you politicize
career advancement

425
00:16:16,109 --> 00:16:17,810
in the General
Officer Corps,

426
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:20,780
you compromise the
integrity of the advice
you get from my officers.

427
00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:22,315
( knock on door )

428
00:16:22,382 --> 00:16:24,484
Congressman Singer is
in the Roosevelt Room,

429
00:16:24,551 --> 00:16:26,586
and Senator Triplehorn
is on three.

430
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:29,389
General, I'm not quite sure
what you're talking about.

431
00:16:29,456 --> 00:16:31,691
The Secretary of Defense has
requested interviews

432
00:16:31,758 --> 00:16:34,627
with all Army generals in line
for a third or fourth star.

433
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:35,828
All of them?

434
00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:37,164
150, sir.

435
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,466
We don't screen generals.

436
00:16:39,532 --> 00:16:43,503
Then I'd suggest you tell that
to Secretary Hutchinson.

437
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:45,004
RYAN:
So Carrick was a mole
for the right.

438
00:16:45,072 --> 00:16:46,506
Yeah.

439
00:16:46,573 --> 00:16:48,875
We should meet with
his contributors,
get them to sue,

440
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:49,942
try and get
their money back.

441
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,411
A lawsuit?

442
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:53,213
Hey, you can sue
McDonald's for being fat.

443
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,947
Leo...
I was just coming
to find you.

444
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:58,485
I think we can outflank
Haffley on cap gains
if we stick to stimulus.

445
00:16:58,551 --> 00:16:59,786
Yeah...

446
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:01,888
Can you give us a second?

447
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:06,393
I just got off
with Triplehorn.

448
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:10,163
The Democrats on the Hill
want you to sit this one out.

449
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:11,964
The meeting with Singer?

450
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:13,900
We need a fresh start.

451
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:15,302
He knows I'm supposed
to be there.

452
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:16,669
It's going to look like
you're benching me.

453
00:17:16,736 --> 00:17:18,905
Toby's up to speed
on the cap gains numbers.

454
00:17:18,971 --> 00:17:21,108
I asked him to sit in.

455
00:17:21,174 --> 00:17:22,809
Only in this meeting,
or...?

456
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,346
The budget negotiations?

457
00:17:26,413 --> 00:17:29,048
We need the Democratic
Leadership off our backs.

458
00:17:29,116 --> 00:17:31,218
I'll have Toby find you after.

459
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:43,062
Honestly, the whole first year
I couldn't tell my twins apart.

460
00:17:43,130 --> 00:17:45,098
Mine are a boy
and a girl.

461
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:47,934
I'm thinking of getting them
tattooed.

462
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,702
( Singer chuckles )

463
00:17:49,769 --> 00:17:50,737
No Josh, huh?

464
00:17:51,938 --> 00:17:54,141
He wanted to convey
his apologies

465
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:56,109
for having to miss
the meeting.

466
00:17:56,176 --> 00:17:59,512
So, Congressman, we wanted
to talk to you about...

467
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:03,082
I'm not going to vote against
the tax cut, Leo.

468
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:05,518
Neither are
any of my other guys.

469
00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:14,527
PRESIDENT:
I've never been in a tornado
and I can't even imagine.

470
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,397
Well, we were in
the car together,

471
00:18:17,464 --> 00:18:19,466
and the-the noise
was so loud,

472
00:18:19,532 --> 00:18:21,868
it-it sounded
like a freight train.

473
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:26,506
I just don't know what
I'm going to do without her.

474
00:18:26,573 --> 00:18:31,478
I... I don't even know
what to feed the damned cat.

475
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:39,152
( sighs )

476
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:42,322
That was the Bureau Chief
from the Times.

477
00:18:42,389 --> 00:18:44,157
He wanted to know why
his reporter had to walk

478
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:46,293
three miles
through a wheat field.

479
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,861
The President promised me
two minutes a person.

480
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:50,363
What number is he on?

481
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,131
Three.

482
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:58,070
( indistinct conversation )

483
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,872
TOBY:
It's Republican propaganda.

484
00:18:59,939 --> 00:19:01,241
We do this
cap gains tax cut,

485
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:03,176
we're congratulating
the wealthy

486
00:19:03,243 --> 00:19:05,011
for selling off
their Renoirs.

487
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:08,381
I don't know, should
we maybe be thinking about
unemployment insurance?

488
00:19:08,448 --> 00:19:11,384
Blue Dogs think this
would make us look pro
small-business.

489
00:19:11,451 --> 00:19:14,587
The GDP increase is a couple
hundredths of one percent.

490
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:15,622
Yeah.

491
00:19:15,688 --> 00:19:17,290
If Haffley successfully links
the tax cut

492
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:18,925
to the stimulus package,

493
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,760
he's going to steamroll us
straight through November.

494
00:19:20,827 --> 00:19:22,795
November? How about until
you turn out the lights.

495
00:19:22,862 --> 00:19:24,096
LEO:
How was the flight?

496
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,367
Why is it you can't just
"hop a plane" from La Guardia?

497
00:19:27,434 --> 00:19:28,301
Toby, you know Angela Blake.

498
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:30,737
I'm his biggest fan.

499
00:19:33,139 --> 00:19:35,508
You got briefed.

500
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:37,210
Start talking.
I think we can pin

501
00:19:37,277 --> 00:19:38,811
Haffley on the long-term
market impact

502
00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:40,347
of a cap gains tax cut.

503
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:42,715
He's got at least 20 Wall Street
Republicans in his conference.

504
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:46,085
Upward pressure of interest
rates, asset sell-offs,

505
00:19:46,152 --> 00:19:47,887
a decline in stock prices.

506
00:19:47,954 --> 00:19:49,222
And that's before we even get
to the deficit.

507
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:50,723
Toby?

508
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:57,096
You have to get Singer
in with the President tonight.

509
00:19:57,163 --> 00:19:58,231
Margaret!

510
00:19:58,298 --> 00:19:59,566
I'll do it.

511
00:20:00,967 --> 00:20:02,769
( sighs )

512
00:20:05,272 --> 00:20:06,473
C.J. Cregg, please.

513
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:07,874
ANGELA:
We put him in a room
with Singer

514
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,542
and as many of the Blue Dogs
as we can round up.

515
00:20:09,609 --> 00:20:11,043
TOBY:
Are you on Air Force One?

516
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:12,245
Not so much.

517
00:20:12,312 --> 00:20:13,413
You're still on the ground?

518
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,814
That's an affirmative.

519
00:20:18,918 --> 00:20:21,588
Put him on.

520
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:24,357
It's Leo.

521
00:20:24,424 --> 00:20:26,459
Thank you.
There you go.

522
00:20:26,526 --> 00:20:28,795
Leo. We're doing good work.

523
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:30,330
I'm sure you are.

524
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,899
Your State Department briefing
for the Chancellor's visit is

525
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:35,535
in an hour and I need you to sit
with Singer

526
00:20:35,602 --> 00:20:37,236
about cap gains tonight.

527
00:20:37,304 --> 00:20:38,638
Have Russell do it.

528
00:20:38,705 --> 00:20:40,206
There's a memorial service here
in the morning.

529
00:20:40,273 --> 00:20:43,042
You're meeting with Chancellor
Weissman in the morning.

530
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:44,577
Sir, I...

531
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:51,784
What?

532
00:20:51,851 --> 00:20:55,555
I think the President
just went AWOL.

533
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:02,795
DONNA:
You need to get going.

534
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:05,898
What?

535
00:21:05,965 --> 00:21:07,867
Your dinner--
you're going to be late.

536
00:21:07,934 --> 00:21:10,102
Right. Any calls?

537
00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:11,671
No.

538
00:21:11,738 --> 00:21:12,739
Really?

539
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:13,740
Yeah.

540
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:14,774
Come on.

541
00:21:14,841 --> 00:21:16,609
Nothing.
Who?

542
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:19,346
Your mother.

543
00:21:19,412 --> 00:21:21,348
( sighs )

544
00:21:21,414 --> 00:21:25,318
Uh, you have
the G-8 memo for Leo?

545
00:21:30,156 --> 00:21:32,124
What are you
doing tonight?

546
00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:33,760
Uh, Wizards-Knicks,
courtside.

547
00:21:33,826 --> 00:21:35,027
No.

548
00:21:35,094 --> 00:21:37,430
No... No?

549
00:21:44,504 --> 00:21:45,738
Where you going?

550
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:47,239
Uh, dinner with Wilcox.
I'll walk you.

551
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:48,608
I got to drop something off
for Leo.

552
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:51,478
I'm going to see him
later; I'll take it.

553
00:21:57,049 --> 00:22:00,587
This is the President's
G-8 itinerary.

554
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:05,392
I spent the afternoon
with Scheduling and Advance.

555
00:22:05,458 --> 00:22:07,059
Anything I can do to help
with Singer?

556
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:08,395
Yeah. Sure.

557
00:22:08,461 --> 00:22:10,029
We started the cap gains debate
last spring.

558
00:22:10,096 --> 00:22:11,764
I have the Treasury analysis...

559
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:12,499
Uh-huh.

560
00:22:12,565 --> 00:22:14,601
talking points, CBO numbers.

561
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:15,768
Okay.

562
00:22:16,903 --> 00:22:18,505
I can c...

563
00:22:20,206 --> 00:22:21,574
I...

564
00:22:23,776 --> 00:22:26,779
I can count on one hand
the people I trust right now.

565
00:22:34,887 --> 00:22:36,423
REPORTER:
I walked seven miles
from the church.

566
00:22:36,489 --> 00:22:37,390
You did not.

567
00:22:37,457 --> 00:22:38,224
There are only
five modems

568
00:22:38,290 --> 00:22:39,291
at the filing center.

569
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:40,192
We're up
against deadlines.

570
00:22:40,259 --> 00:22:41,561
I'll talk to Advance.

571
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:43,396
There's a rumor that
you did this on purpose.

572
00:22:43,463 --> 00:22:46,065
You "spontaneously"
changed the schedule

573
00:22:46,132 --> 00:22:47,634
so he'd seem
compassionate.

574
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,035
Louis, if I did
do this on purpose

575
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:50,503
don't you think I'd
"spontaneously"

576
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:51,604
make sure I had
a change of clothes

577
00:22:51,671 --> 00:22:52,672
and a toothbrush?

578
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:53,640
C.J.?

579
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:54,741
I promised this
wouldn't happen.

580
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:56,142
Advance is already
working on rooms

581
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,044
for the press,
transportation. It'll be fine.

582
00:22:58,110 --> 00:22:59,812
I promised Leo.
The Harveys
asked him

583
00:22:59,879 --> 00:23:01,614
to spend the night
at their place.
Who are the
Harveys?

584
00:23:01,681 --> 00:23:03,015
Mr. Harvey
lost his hardware store.

585
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:04,350
Here's hoping the
Harveys don't have

586
00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:05,485
any felons in
their family.

587
00:23:05,552 --> 00:23:06,986
He was talking
to the Secret Service

588
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:08,254
about spending
the night here.
In the gym?

589
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,622
They've got generators.

590
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:10,957
They'll set him up
in one of the classrooms.

591
00:23:11,023 --> 00:23:12,324
I saw a "For Sale"
sign down the street.

592
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,660
Maybe he'd just
like to move in.

593
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,628
MARGARET:
State moved the Chancellor

594
00:23:15,695 --> 00:23:16,729
back to 1:00,

595
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:18,164
but they can't
go any later.

596
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:20,800
He's got a speech
in Augsburg Thursday morning.

597
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,234
Call Hutchinson's office.

598
00:23:22,301 --> 00:23:24,036
We should meet
early next week.

599
00:23:27,607 --> 00:23:28,808
Something going on at D.O.D.?

600
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:30,543
Hutchinson decided
to put himself

601
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:32,712
in charge of Army
Human Resources.

602
00:23:32,779 --> 00:23:34,514
He's interviewing generals.

603
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:35,848
That would explain
why Murabayashi

604
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,416
is trying
to get permission

605
00:23:37,484 --> 00:23:39,018
to go on Meet
the Press on Sunday.

606
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:41,153
Margaret!

607
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:43,590
I need
Hutchinson tomorrow.

608
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:48,661
Is Angela Blake taking over
Legislative Affairs?

609
00:23:48,728 --> 00:23:50,196
I just stopped Josh

610
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:51,598
from wandering in here

611
00:23:51,664 --> 00:23:53,600
and finding his replacement
sitting on your sofa.

612
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:54,767
She's not replacing him.

613
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:56,002
He had too much
on his plate.

614
00:23:56,068 --> 00:23:57,570
When were you planning
on telling him?

615
00:23:57,637 --> 00:23:59,005
In the morning.

616
00:23:59,071 --> 00:24:01,608
When were you planning on
telling the rest of us?

617
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,712
I'm trying to get
through the week.

618
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:08,581
Angela was my number
two at Labor.

619
00:24:08,648 --> 00:24:10,382
She'll be up to speed
in about five minutes.

620
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:11,884
I know you want to do more.

621
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,720
So he screwed up.

622
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:15,387
So what? We all have.

623
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:16,455
( knocking )

624
00:24:16,523 --> 00:24:18,525
Is this how
it's gonna be?

625
00:24:19,592 --> 00:24:21,127
The Vice
President's here.

626
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:26,098
She gonna be
in the budget negotiations?

627
00:24:26,165 --> 00:24:27,634
She's gonna lead them.

628
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,553
Josh, Hey.

629
00:24:46,619 --> 00:24:47,720
How you doing?

630
00:24:47,787 --> 00:24:49,922
Art, good to see you.

631
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:51,057
Things going okay?

632
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:52,725
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, great.

633
00:24:52,792 --> 00:24:55,194
Good. You want to join us
while you're waiting?

634
00:24:55,261 --> 00:24:56,395
Uh... No.

635
00:24:56,462 --> 00:24:59,031
No, I, I just
got here early.

636
00:24:59,098 --> 00:25:00,266
Good.

637
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:03,803
Well, uh...
glad you're doing all right.

638
00:25:03,870 --> 00:25:05,304
Yeah, yeah, doing great.

639
00:25:05,371 --> 00:25:06,806
It's good to see you, Art.

640
00:25:12,945 --> 00:25:15,414
Morton's.

641
00:25:15,481 --> 00:25:17,684
Mr. Lyman is
already seated.

642
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:27,960
Obi-Wan.

643
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:29,962
Hey.

644
00:25:33,165 --> 00:25:36,235
Wilcox is running late.

645
00:25:36,302 --> 00:25:37,536
No.

646
00:25:37,604 --> 00:25:39,405
Sorry. He's not coming.

647
00:25:39,471 --> 00:25:41,974
He just called
the restaurant.

648
00:25:43,776 --> 00:25:45,712
Donna sent you?

649
00:25:47,714 --> 00:25:49,048
Just in case.

650
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:51,250
What's good?

651
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:55,755
SINGER:
We have a languishing economy

652
00:25:55,822 --> 00:25:57,690
with a belly so full of
social welfare programs

653
00:25:57,757 --> 00:25:59,258
that it's dragging the ground.

654
00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:01,961
Giving kickbacks to the wealthy
isn't creating wealth.

655
00:26:02,028 --> 00:26:03,630
It's just giving kickbacks
to the wealthy.

656
00:26:03,696 --> 00:26:05,464
You keep taxing capital 15%,

657
00:26:05,531 --> 00:26:07,700
you are encouraging people
to stash their assets

658
00:26:07,767 --> 00:26:09,268
under their mattresses.

659
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:12,104
You cut the taxes, people
will sell their investments.

660
00:26:12,171 --> 00:26:12,972
Flooding the market.

661
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:14,073
But that flood's only

662
00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:15,742
gonna wash up
a hundred million.

663
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:17,777
In terms of our
two-trillion-dollar budget,

664
00:26:17,844 --> 00:26:19,679
that's like
a rounding error in the OMB.

665
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:22,481
Excuse me, Toby, if I may.

666
00:26:22,548 --> 00:26:23,650
You're right, Congressman.

667
00:26:23,716 --> 00:26:25,151
If we lower
cap gains taxes,

668
00:26:25,217 --> 00:26:26,986
we reward the small
business owners

669
00:26:27,053 --> 00:26:28,420
who took a risk
for the economy

670
00:26:28,487 --> 00:26:29,789
and I'd be the first in line

671
00:26:29,856 --> 00:26:31,590
to pat 'em on the back,
but the thing is,

672
00:26:31,658 --> 00:26:33,159
the speaker
is trying to "propulgate"

673
00:26:33,225 --> 00:26:35,895
a tax bill onto an
appropriations package.

674
00:26:35,962 --> 00:26:37,363
If we start
allowing that,

675
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,666
we're never going
to get budgets passed.

676
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:45,004
You're saying the administration
would support a tax cut

677
00:26:45,071 --> 00:26:46,673
if it were separate
from the budget?

678
00:26:46,739 --> 00:26:49,008
We're sure as hell
not going to discuss it

679
00:26:49,075 --> 00:26:51,243
while it's attached
to appropriations.

680
00:26:53,579 --> 00:26:55,581
Maybe we should

681
00:26:55,648 --> 00:26:57,016
just wait for
the President

682
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:58,484
to join us
before we continue.

683
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:00,720
The President considers
this vote a priority, Nate.

684
00:27:00,787 --> 00:27:01,988
I'm relieved.

685
00:27:02,054 --> 00:27:03,823
I'd hate to be
the next rung down

686
00:27:03,890 --> 00:27:05,224
on his to-do list.

687
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:07,626
Excuse me.

688
00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:12,699
Find the President.

689
00:27:12,765 --> 00:27:15,067
The Albanians
are declaring war?

690
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:16,602
Albania's Foreign Minister

691
00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:19,438
is calling the flag-raising
on Croxys an act of war,

692
00:27:19,505 --> 00:27:21,974
so the Greek President
has ordered his navy

693
00:27:22,041 --> 00:27:23,642
to surround and
defend the island.

694
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:24,977
You're kidding.

695
00:27:25,044 --> 00:27:27,079
Now Albania is preparing
to dispatch their fleet.

696
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:28,781
The Albanians
have a fleet?

697
00:27:28,848 --> 00:27:31,083
Some old torpedo boats
and a few mine sweepers, yeah.

698
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,919
And what's the strategic
importance of this?

699
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:34,186
It's a rock, isn't it?

700
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:35,654
Primarily used for
grazing goats.

701
00:27:35,722 --> 00:27:36,956
The President.

702
00:27:37,023 --> 00:27:38,457
It's a rock,
General, not a war.

703
00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:40,793
President Ismaili
and President Giannakos

704
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:42,795
can get in a room
and be big boys.

705
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:45,932
Mr. President.

706
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,399
Were you able
to move the Chancellor?

707
00:27:47,466 --> 00:27:48,868
Only two hours.

708
00:27:48,935 --> 00:27:51,603
Singer and the Blue Dogs
really need to talk to you.

709
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:53,239
I need you...

710
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:56,075
You know when you hear that
a tornado has uprooted a tree?

711
00:27:56,142 --> 00:27:56,976
I saw it.

712
00:27:57,043 --> 00:27:59,078
60 feet of roots from a bur oak

713
00:27:59,145 --> 00:28:01,380
yanked right out of the ground.

714
00:28:01,447 --> 00:28:04,316
I talked to this guy
who flew B-29s in Korea

715
00:28:04,383 --> 00:28:06,786
and made it back
without so much as a split lip.

716
00:28:06,853 --> 00:28:08,520
Yesterday, his legs were crushed

717
00:28:08,587 --> 00:28:10,757
by a chest of drawers
while he was sleeping.

718
00:28:10,823 --> 00:28:14,093
Yeah.

719
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,162
We'll be happy
to have you back, sir.

720
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,696
I'll see you tomorrow, Leo.

721
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:18,690
Hello.

722
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:20,026
You need any help?

723
00:29:20,092 --> 00:29:23,029
Um...

724
00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:24,363
No, thank you, sir.

725
00:29:24,430 --> 00:29:25,431
I-I'm almost done.

726
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:27,466
I'm pretty good
with a scouring pad.

727
00:29:27,533 --> 00:29:31,103
That'd just be embarrassing
for both of us, Mr. President.

728
00:29:33,239 --> 00:29:34,006
You're with the Red Cross?

729
00:29:34,073 --> 00:29:37,509
I'm a volunteer

730
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:39,912
and I drive
a school bus for the district.

731
00:29:39,979 --> 00:29:41,280
That must be
very rewarding,

732
00:29:41,347 --> 00:29:43,950
getting to know
all the children,

733
00:29:44,016 --> 00:29:45,784
watching them grow.

734
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:52,324
I'm sorry.

735
00:29:52,391 --> 00:29:55,127
I lost four kids
on my route yesterday.

736
00:29:58,130 --> 00:30:01,000
Yeah, first you're just,
you're just glad

737
00:30:01,067 --> 00:30:02,468
it's not your kids.

738
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:06,505
But you gotta wonder...

739
00:30:06,572 --> 00:30:12,945
what kind of a god would
do such a terrible thing?

740
00:30:13,012 --> 00:30:16,548
We go to church every Sunday.

741
00:30:16,615 --> 00:30:20,552
We try to do the right thing.

742
00:30:20,619 --> 00:30:23,956
What kind of a plan
could this possibly be?

743
00:30:46,312 --> 00:30:47,779
Why do you call
the Democrats

744
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:50,582
who usually vote with the
Republicans "Blue Dogs"?

745
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:56,923
You didn't have to stay
and eat dinner with me

746
00:30:56,989 --> 00:30:58,790
to keep me
from looking pathetic.

747
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:00,859
I was hungry.

748
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:04,964
Hey!

749
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:07,366
Pull over, would you?

750
00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:10,469
RYAN:
What are you...?

751
00:31:16,342 --> 00:31:18,344
Hey! You want a piece of me?!

752
00:31:20,612 --> 00:31:21,813
I'm right here!

753
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,151
I'm standing
right here! Come on!

754
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:26,418
Come on!

755
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,616
You're in early.

756
00:31:57,683 --> 00:31:59,151
So, are we okay?

757
00:32:00,019 --> 00:32:01,087
Sure.

758
00:32:01,153 --> 00:32:02,488
I thought you might
still be mad

759
00:32:02,554 --> 00:32:04,957
about last year
at the Kennedy School Forum.

760
00:32:05,024 --> 00:32:06,425
Those kids'll
laugh at anything.

761
00:32:06,492 --> 00:32:07,793
I know,
'cause I'm not funny.

762
00:32:07,859 --> 00:32:09,361
Not really, no.

763
00:32:11,063 --> 00:32:13,299
So what time's
Senior Staff?

764
00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:14,500
7:30.

765
00:32:14,566 --> 00:32:16,735
I'll see you there.

766
00:32:16,802 --> 00:32:18,070
Donna called.

767
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:20,839
He's just now coming in
the Northwest Gate.

768
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:22,041
JOSH:
Toby in yet?

769
00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:23,942
Eat white food.

770
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:24,943
I'm okay.

771
00:32:25,011 --> 00:32:26,245
Like cottage cheese.

772
00:32:26,312 --> 00:32:27,679
I'm okay. It's
just a headache.

773
00:32:27,746 --> 00:32:29,448
Obviously you're not okay
or you wouldn't be

774
00:32:29,515 --> 00:32:31,217
screaming at a building
at 1:00 in the morning.

775
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:32,985
Hey, I was just going
to come looking for you.

776
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:34,186
How'd it go?

777
00:32:34,253 --> 00:32:34,987
What?

778
00:32:35,054 --> 00:32:36,255
Last night.

779
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:45,264
JOSH:
Angela Blake?!

780
00:32:47,733 --> 00:32:50,369
LEO:
I don't mind
he walked into a propeller,

781
00:32:50,436 --> 00:32:54,540
although I'm pretty sure there's
no such word as "propulgate."

782
00:32:54,606 --> 00:32:56,475
Maybe he meant "propagate,"
or "promulgate."

783
00:32:56,542 --> 00:32:58,477
You put the Vice President
in a room with a guy

784
00:32:58,544 --> 00:33:00,846
who was winding up to take
a swing at the President.

785
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:02,214
He stepped in
and took the shot,

786
00:33:02,281 --> 00:33:03,682
but he's not happy about it.

787
00:33:03,749 --> 00:33:04,616
You need to talk to him.

788
00:33:04,683 --> 00:33:05,684
Leo.

789
00:33:05,751 --> 00:33:07,219
There's a... situation.

790
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:09,288
You're gonna be
good at this job.

791
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:11,990
The Secretary
of State called twice.

792
00:33:12,058 --> 00:33:13,159
He's heard there's
a scheduling problem

793
00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:14,526
with the President
getting back in time

794
00:33:14,593 --> 00:33:16,395
for the Chancellor and
wanted to remind you

795
00:33:16,462 --> 00:33:17,863
in the most
emphatic terms...

796
00:33:17,929 --> 00:33:19,698
He said that,
"emphatic terms"?

797
00:33:19,765 --> 00:33:21,600
That the Chancellor only
accepted our invitation

798
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:24,703
to come to Washington...
after numerous overtures

799
00:33:24,770 --> 00:33:27,106
and two months
of painstaking negotiations.

800
00:33:27,173 --> 00:33:28,807
Really? Thank him
for me, would you?

801
00:33:28,874 --> 00:33:32,010
I'd almost forgotten the 200
calls I had to make to Berlin.

802
00:33:33,112 --> 00:33:35,714
Oh, dear God,
not the goats again.

803
00:33:35,781 --> 00:33:36,848
Margaret!

804
00:33:36,915 --> 00:33:38,250
Ismaili refuses to discuss

805
00:33:38,317 --> 00:33:40,652
a peaceful resolution
to the Croxys dispute.

806
00:33:40,719 --> 00:33:41,887
Let Josh know
I need to see him

807
00:33:41,953 --> 00:33:43,455
before Senior Staff.

808
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,424
Ismaili wants President
Bartlet to broker a deal.

809
00:33:45,491 --> 00:33:47,793
What do they want, shared
custody of the goats?

810
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:49,461
The President isn't
a marriage counselor--

811
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:51,029
or a shepherd,
for that matter.

812
00:33:51,097 --> 00:33:53,332
Yeah, but we're trying
to avoid a missile launch

813
00:33:53,399 --> 00:33:54,700
from one of the
nine warships

814
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:56,802
floating around
in the Ionian Sea.

815
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:59,105
Margaret!

816
00:33:59,171 --> 00:34:00,306
Find C.J.

817
00:34:00,372 --> 00:34:01,573
Again?

818
00:34:05,577 --> 00:34:07,713
I should have never
gotten out of bed this morning.

819
00:34:07,779 --> 00:34:09,081
The President could

820
00:34:09,148 --> 00:34:10,716
light the peace candle
during the prayer.

821
00:34:10,782 --> 00:34:12,951
Any chance he could
actually lead the prayer?

822
00:34:13,018 --> 00:34:14,286
He's not so good
with matches.

823
00:34:14,353 --> 00:34:16,622
The Governor could take
the benediction instead

824
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:17,656
and the opening greetings.

825
00:34:17,723 --> 00:34:18,924
Fine.
Fine.

826
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,192
Governor Wade
will arrive

827
00:34:20,259 --> 00:34:21,527
and be escorted to
her row, and then

828
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:22,828
the President
will enter...

829
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:24,296
The President
has to arrive first.

830
00:34:24,363 --> 00:34:25,964
People want to see
the Governor first.

831
00:34:26,031 --> 00:34:28,033
She's a familiar,
comforting face
to Oklahomans.

832
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:29,501
I'm gonna go out
on a limb here

833
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,870
and say the President
has a recognizable face.

834
00:34:31,937 --> 00:34:32,971
Excuse me.

835
00:34:33,038 --> 00:34:33,972
Yeah.

836
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:34,840
LEO:
I'm dying here.

837
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:36,308
What time are you back?

838
00:34:36,375 --> 00:34:38,410
The memorial service is
scheduled to start around 10:00.

839
00:34:38,477 --> 00:34:39,378
10:00?

840
00:34:39,445 --> 00:34:40,779
It was supposed
to start earlier,

841
00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:42,181
but some of the family members
are driving in

842
00:34:42,248 --> 00:34:43,649
from other parts
of the state and...

843
00:34:43,715 --> 00:34:45,584
What the hell am I supposed
to tell the Germans?

844
00:34:45,651 --> 00:34:47,253
How about you don't charge them
for the headphones

845
00:34:47,319 --> 00:34:48,820
and give them
some extra peanuts?

846
00:34:48,887 --> 00:34:50,422
Was that supposed to be funny?

847
00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:52,090
What do you want from me, Leo?

848
00:34:52,158 --> 00:34:53,425
I've got a cap gains tax cut

849
00:34:53,492 --> 00:34:55,494
tacked onto
an appropriations bill,

850
00:34:55,561 --> 00:34:56,995
two Bronze Age civilizations

851
00:34:57,062 --> 00:34:59,698
threatening to blow
each other up over some goats,

852
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:02,100
and a major ally
that's going to be in the lobby

853
00:35:02,168 --> 00:35:05,204
leafing through dog-eared copies
of Congressional Quarterly

854
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:07,105
while the President
is singing "Kumbaya."

855
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:10,242
I want the President
back here now, C.J.

856
00:35:10,309 --> 00:35:13,179
This was your idea, fix it.

857
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:17,916
( knocking )

858
00:35:17,983 --> 00:35:19,017
You wanted to see me?

859
00:35:19,084 --> 00:35:20,419
Yeah. Come on in.

860
00:35:20,486 --> 00:35:22,288
I don't know where we're
at on capital gains,

861
00:35:22,354 --> 00:35:24,990
but I was thinking
about this Boeing stuff.

862
00:35:25,056 --> 00:35:25,924
If we flip...

863
00:35:25,991 --> 00:35:27,326
Josh.

864
00:35:27,393 --> 00:35:29,261
Haffley'd amputate
his own leg before...

865
00:35:29,328 --> 00:35:31,197
You gotta stop, Josh!

866
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,668
When were you going
to tell me about Angela Blake?

867
00:35:38,204 --> 00:35:40,906
Right now.

868
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:42,241
She's a fund-raiser, Leo.

869
00:35:42,308 --> 00:35:43,642
She doesn't know the Hill.

870
00:35:43,709 --> 00:35:45,777
Damn it, Josh, you tried
to humiliate Carrick

871
00:35:45,844 --> 00:35:47,646
in his home state,
which is bad enough,

872
00:35:47,713 --> 00:35:50,382
but you failed
to the tune of a party switch.

873
00:35:50,449 --> 00:35:52,684
You think it ends
with the Leadership?

874
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:55,454
You can't believe the calls I'm
getting from the DNC membership.

875
00:35:55,521 --> 00:35:56,922
State party chairs.

876
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:58,724
No one wants you here.

877
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:07,233
We're going to be late
for Senior Staff.

878
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:13,905
He in there?

879
00:36:13,972 --> 00:36:15,874
Working on his remarks.

880
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:20,479
Excuse me, Mr. President.

881
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:23,482
I'm trying to remember
a quote from Isaiah.

882
00:36:23,549 --> 00:36:24,816
I should
just call Toby.

883
00:36:24,883 --> 00:36:26,385
Everything worked out
for the memorial?

884
00:36:26,452 --> 00:36:28,354
We're still haggling
over who arrives first--

885
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:29,555
you or the Governor.

886
00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:30,822
We're the guests here.

887
00:36:30,889 --> 00:36:31,757
Whatever she
wants is fine.

888
00:36:31,823 --> 00:36:33,459
No, sir. You need
to walk in first.

889
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,327
If Wade is going to
get all hot and bothered...

890
00:36:35,394 --> 00:36:36,762
I need you
to walk in first.

891
00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:40,131
I need you to know
that you walk in first.

892
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:42,200
I'm sorry, sir.

893
00:36:42,268 --> 00:36:44,336
We need to go
back to Washington.

894
00:36:44,403 --> 00:36:45,704
We'll leave
after the service.
No. sir.

895
00:36:45,771 --> 00:36:47,806
We need to go back now.
I told Leo

896
00:36:47,873 --> 00:36:49,308
we'd only be here
a few hours. He needs you

897
00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:50,842
to meet with Singer
and the Blue Dogs.

898
00:36:50,909 --> 00:36:52,411
The Chancellor is waiting,
and there's something

899
00:36:52,478 --> 00:36:54,446
about a war between
ancient civilizations.

900
00:36:54,513 --> 00:36:55,947
These people need me.

901
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:57,416
No, sir, they don't.

902
00:36:57,483 --> 00:36:58,717
Maybe they did yesterday,

903
00:36:58,784 --> 00:37:00,486
but now they need
their town back.

904
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,887
They need their
police officers working,

905
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:03,589
not clearing intersections
for your motorcade.

906
00:37:03,655 --> 00:37:05,991
They need the 50 motel rooms
we took last night

907
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:07,693
for people who lost their homes.

908
00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:09,528
And they need you back in
Washington running the country,

909
00:37:09,595 --> 00:37:11,630
and creating the jobs that are
going to help pay the taxes

910
00:37:11,697 --> 00:37:15,367
to support disaster relief
and rebuilding.

911
00:37:15,434 --> 00:37:17,336
What are we doing here, sir?

912
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:32,484
( knock on door )

913
00:37:32,551 --> 00:37:33,819
Secretary
Hutchinson's here.

914
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:35,421
Yeah.

915
00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:40,326
Any idea
why General McClain

916
00:37:40,392 --> 00:37:42,861
might be flying in
from Oslo next week?

917
00:37:42,928 --> 00:37:44,363
Look, Leo,
I understand

918
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:46,031
that Alexander's
not happy about this.

919
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,499
There's
a command structure.

920
00:37:47,566 --> 00:37:49,000
We have procedures.

921
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:51,770
I am trying to transform
a military establishment

922
00:37:51,837 --> 00:37:53,672
that hates change.
It's a new world.

923
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:55,173
We're facing
a new enemy.

924
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,375
We need new thinking.

925
00:37:56,442 --> 00:37:58,777
Speed, flexibility,
rapid deployment...

926
00:37:58,844 --> 00:38:01,413
Air Force One,
wheels up ten minutes ago.

927
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,281
Thank God.

928
00:38:05,451 --> 00:38:07,653
We agree
we need to modernize.

929
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,055
But we also have to have
unbiased military advice,

930
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,958
so I'm gonna need you to
stop undermining Alexander

931
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:15,794
and cancel
these interviews.

932
00:38:15,861 --> 00:38:17,963
You start handing out
the stars, Miles,

933
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:19,565
those generals aren't going
to tell you anything

934
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:21,800
you don't
want to hear.

935
00:38:29,441 --> 00:38:31,643
( knocking on door )

936
00:38:37,449 --> 00:38:38,884
You wanted to see me?

937
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:41,487
Yes. Give us a minute,
will you, Charlie?

938
00:38:47,993 --> 00:38:50,195
Are we having
a problem?

939
00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:51,763
No, sir.

940
00:38:53,765 --> 00:38:54,900
I feel as if
I did more good

941
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:56,968
in the last 24 hours

942
00:38:57,035 --> 00:39:00,038
than in
the last six months.
Yes, sir.

943
00:39:00,105 --> 00:39:02,273
You resent me taking
a few extra hours

944
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,875
to console grieving people?

945
00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:08,447
( clears throat )

946
00:39:08,514 --> 00:39:12,117
I'm asking you
a direct question, C.J.

947
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:13,785
Honestly, sir?

948
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:16,722
I resent you ignoring the
responsibilities of your office.

949
00:39:16,788 --> 00:39:19,190
If you want to reach out
and touch people,

950
00:39:19,257 --> 00:39:20,659
teach math in East Saint Louis

951
00:39:20,726 --> 00:39:22,694
after your
term expires.

952
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,731
So you think my staying longer

953
00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:27,733
was some sort
of personal indulgence?

954
00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:29,601
I think it's been
a difficult time

955
00:39:29,668 --> 00:39:31,537
for you, sir. For all of us.

956
00:39:31,603 --> 00:39:33,672
What's this really about, C.J.?

957
00:39:33,739 --> 00:39:37,843
I understand
there was no time, sir.

958
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:40,378
I can't imagine
what it was like.

959
00:39:40,446 --> 00:39:41,447
I don't have children.

960
00:39:41,513 --> 00:39:42,948
It's like I knew who I was,

961
00:39:43,014 --> 00:39:45,484
then I woke up one morning
and didn't have a clue.

962
00:39:45,551 --> 00:39:47,018
I understand,
sir,

963
00:39:47,085 --> 00:39:48,787
but I need more.

964
00:39:48,854 --> 00:39:51,590
You're the President
of the United States.

965
00:39:51,657 --> 00:39:53,959
My President.

966
00:39:54,025 --> 00:39:55,461
I'm frightened.

967
00:39:55,527 --> 00:39:56,928
We're all frightened.

968
00:39:56,995 --> 00:40:00,365
This is... the world
is too dangerous now.

969
00:40:00,432 --> 00:40:01,567
Unpredictable.

970
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:06,104
I need you back.
I need you to lead.

971
00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:15,146
Is there anything
else, Mr. President?

972
00:40:30,361 --> 00:40:31,863
Jeanine.

973
00:40:33,064 --> 00:40:34,500
What?

974
00:40:34,566 --> 00:40:38,169
It's the name of my boat.

975
00:40:38,236 --> 00:40:39,671
Jeanine.

976
00:40:39,738 --> 00:40:42,808
Oh. Who's Jeanine?

977
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,443
You want to grab some lunch?

978
00:40:45,511 --> 00:40:48,246
No. Thanks.

979
00:40:48,313 --> 00:40:49,815
Okay.

980
00:40:55,086 --> 00:40:56,321
You need anything?

981
00:40:56,387 --> 00:40:57,823
On my home
machine,

982
00:40:57,889 --> 00:41:00,258
I have 52 "Hang
in there" messages.

983
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:02,427
One from
a headhunter

984
00:41:02,494 --> 00:41:04,362
wanting to know
if I'm interested

985
00:41:04,429 --> 00:41:07,098
in moving into
the private sector.

986
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:09,300
Are you?

987
00:41:09,367 --> 00:41:10,669
What's that?

988
00:41:10,736 --> 00:41:12,671
It's my
"What a Shame" folder.

989
00:41:12,738 --> 00:41:15,173
All the stuff we
never have time for.

990
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,677
The stuff we thought
we'd fix when we got here,

991
00:41:18,744 --> 00:41:20,546
but we never did.

992
00:41:20,612 --> 00:41:24,149
Foreign adoption policies.

993
00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,618
Hybrid energy partnerships.

994
00:41:27,753 --> 00:41:30,556
Extending the roadless
conservation plan.

995
00:41:30,622 --> 00:41:31,990
Okay, this one's
not a shame.

996
00:41:32,057 --> 00:41:34,025
I just didn't want
to deal with it.

997
00:41:34,092 --> 00:41:36,962
Funding special education
for kids with disabilities.

998
00:41:38,897 --> 00:41:40,999
Ammunition control.
What's a gun without bullets?

999
00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:44,202
A 21st century Teacher Corps.

1000
00:41:44,269 --> 00:41:47,873
We've got all those
baby boomer teachers retiring.

1001
00:41:47,939 --> 00:41:49,775
Mentor programming...
