economic expansion in our history.Copy !req
16. For the first time in decades,
the budget is balanced.Copy !req
17. - From a deficit of $290 million...
- Billion dollars.Copy !req
18. - What?
- 290 billion.Copy !req
19. - What'd I say?
- Million, but let's move on.Copy !req
20. - I said million?
- Yeah.Copy !req
21. From a deficit of $290 billion...
It says "million" on the teleprompter.Copy !req
22. - Sam?
- Our fault.Copy !req
23. Let's take it back.Copy !req
24. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President...Copy !req
25. members of the 106th Congress...Copy !req
26. He doesn't look so good.
He's pale and he's sweating.Copy !req
27. - Is he sick?
- I don't know.Copy !req
28. - Are his glands swollen?
- Damn.Copy !req
29. - What?
- Know what I forgot to do?Copy !req
30. I forgot to feel
the president's glands.Copy !req
31. Do you think your joke reflex is why
you have so much trouble with men?Copy !req
32. We're 44 hours away from the State of

33. How do we make...Copy !req
34. the dream of opportunity
a reality for all?Copy !req
35. I came to this hallowed chamber
a year ago...Copy !req

38. Move on, Mr. President.Copy !req
39. I came to this hallowed chamber
one year ago...Copy !req
40. to restore the American dream
for all...Copy !req
41. Wow, that was ambitious of me,
wasn't it?Copy !req
42. Let's take a break.Copy !req
43. - We meant "stronger" here?
- What's it say?Copy !req
44. "Our country is stranger
than a year ago. "Copy !req
45. - That's a typo.
- Could go either way.Copy !req
46. - Sam...
- Taking care of it.Copy !req
47. - Mr. President, how do you feel?
- Why is everyone asking me that?Copy !req
48. You don't look so good.
You're pale and perspiring.Copy !req
49. - You should take something.
- I take things.Copy !req
50. What?Copy !req
51. My wife hands me pills,
I swallow them.Copy !req
52. Vitamin C. Is it possible I'm taking
something called euthanasia?Copy !req
53. - Echinacea?
- That sounds more like it.Copy !req
54. I'm taking pills.Copy !req
55. Are you actually taking them,
or just carrying them around?Copy !req
56. - Carrying them around was a big step.
- You gotta take them.Copy !req
57. How do we make the American dream
a reality for all who work for it?Copy !req
58. - You gotta add "who work for it. "
- That was me.Copy !req
59. We decided this two months ago.Copy !req
60. Polls say we need
"who work for it"...Copy !req
61. and "The era of big government
is over. "Copy !req
62. - When did this happen?
- In a meeting.Copy !req
63. You wanna offend the poor?Copy !req

67. - Damn! You're who I was gonna run to.
- You don't look good.Copy !req
68. I'm gazing into the 321 st century.
There's a lot on my mind.Copy !req
69. Let's finish up in here.Copy !req
70. - Oh, God. I will take the pills.
- Now?Copy !req
71. Yes. I will pour a glass of water...Copy !req
72. from the glass pitcher, a gift
from the Christian Charity Network.Copy !req
73. I'm just saying, before you call me
Ebenezer, remember...Copy !req
74. I got a nice pitcher
for just being a good guy.Copy !req
75. You turned me right around
on that one.Copy !req
76. I will take the pills.Copy !req
77. You know, here's a thing.Copy !req
78. - We haven't been invited.
- What?Copy !req
79. The speaker invites the president
to deliver the speech.Copy !req
80. - And we haven't been invited yet?
- Not yet.Copy !req
81. - Is somebody seeing to this?
- I will.Copy !req
82. Good. We can report the country's
stranger than it was a year ago.Copy !req
83. I'm never gonna live it down.Copy !req
84. - Liberty's down. We're in the Oval.
- Get a doctor!Copy !req
85. His temperature's 101.9.Copy !req
86. I'm fairly sure it's the flu,
but I'll take him for a cardiogram.Copy !req
87. I don't need a cardiogram.
I got dizzy.Copy !req
88. - We're going.
- I didn't have a heart attack.Copy !req
89. It's the flu.
I don't need a cardiogram.Copy !req
90. - We'll do blood work and an x-ray.
- Think it's pneumonia?Copy !req
91. I think it's the flu.
But I don't want to fool around.Copy !req
92. - Leo, I'm fine.
- Mr. President.Copy !req
93. Thank you, Mrs. Landingham.
How do I look to you?Copy !req
94. - You're a very handsome man.
- You see?Copy !req
95. - What do you think?
- It can wait until morning.Copy !req
96. But I'll stay for a while.Copy !req
97. Do the blood work now,
the cardiogram and x-ray tomorrow.Copy !req
98. Sure.Copy !req
99. - You're going to bed.
- Can't yet. Situation Room.Copy !req
100. Let's do this.
Then you're going to bed.Copy !req
101. We'll meet you in the residence
in a few minutes.Copy !req
102. - Just a little joke.
- You're a real cutup.Copy !req
103. - 101.9, and I still got it.
- Yes. Indeed, sir.Copy !req
104. I'll tell him steady but not
egregious. Are we all okay with that?Copy !req
105. - Admiral.
- What do you got?Copy !req
106. We got the 2nd, 3rd,
103rd, 106th, and the 107th.Copy !req
107. Thank you.Copy !req
108. - Anybody know if the Celtics won?
- We can get that information.Copy !req
109. What happened?Copy !req
110. There have been steady clashes
along the cease-fire line.Copy !req
111. Look at the photos. India's moved
new units into their force structures.Copy !req
112. There's four days left
on the cease-fire.Copy !req
113. - They're getting ready.
- What about Pakistan?Copy !req
114. They say that
if the Indians continue...Copy !req
115. they can't defend
with conventional forces.Copy !req
116. Is this whining or for real?Copy !req
117. Bazin's given control of nuclear
weapons to field commanders.Copy !req
118. They just want attention.Copy !req
119. - They've got mine.
- And they've got China's.Copy !req
120. I'm gonna scramble the B-1 s
and put the 49th Tactical on alert.Copy !req
121. I'm going to bed.
Call me if there's movement.Copy !req
122. Yes, sir.Copy !req
123. - Mr. President.
- Yeah?Copy !req
124. - The Celtics lost in overtime.
- Good night.Copy !req
125. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
126. - It was very cute.
- So I grow the beard back?Copy !req
127. - Yeah.
- Okay.Copy !req
128. - Didn't he look cute with a full beard?
- I've never thought about it.Copy !req
129. - Take your time.
- What?Copy !req
130. - I came to see my fish.
- It's fine. I need my office.Copy !req
131. - I'm leaving?
- Yes.Copy !req
132. - Good night.
- Good night.Copy !req
133. He gave me a fish a few weeks ago.Copy !req
134. That one there.Copy !req
135. - It won't kill you to be friendlier.
- It doesn't seem to kill you.Copy !req
136. What do you need?Copy !req
137. - Are you kidding?
- Yes. I was kidding.Copy !req
138. - You sounded serious.
- I'm very dry.Copy !req
139. - The story's breaking.
- How do you know?Copy !req
140. - It's on the Internet.
- The whole thing? I'll go see him.Copy !req
141. We weren't invited?
I thought it was a requirement.Copy !req
142. It is.Copy !req
143. - But we have to be invited?
- A technicality.Copy !req
144. It dates back to Parliament,
what do you want from me?Copy !req
145. - Also, remind Josh to pick a guy.
- Pick a guy?Copy !req
146. - He'll know what it means?
- Yes.Copy !req
147. - Because I don't know...
- Margaret!Copy !req
148. - Excuse me.
- Hey, C.J.Copy !req
149. - What's going on?
- How's the president?Copy !req
150. - In bed.
- Does the first lady know?Copy !req
151. She canceled the trip.
She's on her way back.Copy !req
152. Leo...Copy !req
153. It's gonna break. Tomorrow?Copy !req
154. Yeah. It's on the Internet right now.Copy !req
155. Why don't we do a preemptive...?
You'll talk to the press.Copy !req
156. I'm gonna work with you first, okay?Copy !req
157. It tested very well.Copy !req
158. I'm not saying we're doing it,
I just want to try it out.Copy !req
159. The era of big government is over.Copy !req
160. All right, thanks.Copy !req
161. How you feeling?Copy !req
162. Roughly the same as when you
asked me four minutes ago.Copy !req
163. - I'm sorry.
- That's okay.Copy !req
164. This isn't the worst of it. The worst
is coming up the stairs right now.Copy !req
165. - Good evening.
- Charlie, how are you doing?Copy !req
166. I'm Admiral Hacket,
I was on duty when it happened.Copy !req
167. Good to meet you.
Would you get me my bag?Copy !req
168. Now, 101.9.
When's the last time you checked?Copy !req
169. - About an hour ago.
- Pressure?Copy !req
170. - It dropped before, but it's back.
- 105/70.Copy !req
171. I want to put him on IV saline
and vitamin solution. Still dizzy?Copy !req
172. I was wondering when you'd notice me.Copy !req
173. Are you still dizzy? He's lying.
Give him Flumadine, twice a day.Copy !req
174. Would you mind waiting outside
for a minute?Copy !req
175. Would you mind waiting outside?Copy !req
176. - Need anything?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
177. You're very sexy
when you're in doctor mode.Copy !req
178. "Get me an IV... Saline solution and
100 milligrams of Flumadine. Stat. "Copy !req
179. - I could jump you right now.
- I could kill you right now.Copy !req
180. - My thing's more fun.
- It took you 25 minutes to call me?Copy !req
181. Fitzwallace called.
There was more movement in Kashmir.Copy !req
182. I don't care if Canada
invaded Michigan. You call me.Copy !req
183. - Abbey?
- Stop talking.Copy !req
184. I broke the pitcher
in the Oval Office.Copy !req
185. It's okay.Copy !req
186. Seriously, Abbey, I'm fine.Copy !req
187. You could've hit your head.Copy !req
188. But I didn't.Copy !req
189. - Was it like the time in Nantucket?
- Yeah.Copy !req
190. - Or was it more like at my parents?
- I really don't remember.Copy !req
191. It's all right.Copy !req
192. Close your eyes.
You're gonna be asleep in a minute.Copy !req
193. The Pakistanis are giving control
of nuclear weapons to the field.Copy !req
194. It's okay.
Leo's in the west wing.Copy !req
195. - Just go to sleep.
- I'm sorry about the pitcher.Copy !req
196. - I was taking the pills you gave me.
- Go to sleep, baby.Copy !req
197. - I could jump you right now.
- Yeah, sure you could.Copy !req
198. I don't think it's in the mailroom.Copy !req
199. It's an invitation to the president.
I'm assuming it was hand-delivered.Copy !req
200. - Thank you. Yes?
- Margaret came by.Copy !req
201. She said to remind you
you need to pick a guy.Copy !req
202. She said you'd know what that means.
Do you?Copy !req
203. - Yeah.
- I don't.Copy !req
204. Someone from the line of succession
has to miss the speech.Copy !req
205. Why? Wait, I know why.Copy !req
206. If the building's blown up...
Who will it be?Copy !req
207. - Who should I pick?
- You should pick me.Copy !req
208. - You think so?
- I'd be good.Copy !req
209. You're in the line of succession?Copy !req
210. If somebody blows up the Capitol
during the speech, I'd move up.Copy !req
211. - Fair point.
- Who's it gonna be?Copy !req
212. - Roger Tribby.
- Secretary of agriculture?Copy !req
213. Listen, be sweet to Margaret
and Leo today.Copy !req
214. It's not the worst day of their lives,
but it'll be in the top five.Copy !req
215. See you later.Copy !req
216. "I deeply regret the pain and trouble
this has caused the people in my life. "Copy !req
217. When you left Sierra Tucson,
did you start attending meetings?Copy !req
218. - AA meetings?
- Don't say AA if they don't.Copy !req
219. After you left Sierra Tucson,
did you attend meetings?Copy !req
220. - Do you still attend them?
- Yes.Copy !req
221. Where?Copy !req
222. I won't answer that.Copy !req
223. - How often?
- I won't answer that either.Copy !req
224. - How about, "As often as I need to"?
- Need?Copy !req
225. Don't answer it.Copy !req
226. - What else?
- Has the president known?Copy !req
227. The president and I have a long
history and a close relationship.Copy !req
228. You didn't answer the question.Copy !req
229. The president has known, as well
as the FBI and the Secret Service.Copy !req
230. Did they object to you
being in such a position?Copy !req
231. Yeah, they were worried I'd sell
state secrets to Bolivia...Copy !req
232. It's not an unreasonable question.Copy !req
233. I'm all set.Copy !req
234. I wrote a draft of the president's
statement of support.Copy !req
235. What did you do?Copy !req
236. I wrote the statement of support.Copy !req
237. - Why?
- The president's condition...Copy !req
238. I know what condition he's in.Copy !req
239. - Who told you to write it?
- Toby told him last night.Copy !req
240. Nobody had to tell me, it's my job.Copy !req
241. No! Your job is to protect
the president.Copy !req
242. Do me a favor, don't show initiative,
don't rush to my defense.Copy !req
243. I don't want to see you
on Crossfire...Copy !req
244. I don't wanna read your name unless
it supports the president's agenda.Copy !req
245. I go down, I go down.
I'm not taking anyone with me.Copy !req
246. - Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
247. I'm all set. Go back to work.Copy !req
248. The good news is,
your temperature's gone down.Copy !req
249. - Can I go to the office?
- No.Copy !req
250. It's gonna go back up again.Copy !req
251. - Why?
- Because you have the flu.Copy !req
252. Here's the thing, though.Copy !req
253. - I never saw you study in med school.
- Deep breath.Copy !req
254. Do you even know what
you're listening for right now?Copy !req
255. - Know how many men I could've married?
- How many?Copy !req
256. I'm going to the office.Copy !req
257. Okay.Copy !req
258. - Really?
- Feel free.Copy !req
259. Anything else?Copy !req
260. All right. I think I'll stay here
for a little bit.Copy !req
261. They're ready for you.Copy !req
262. - You need anything?
- No.Copy !req
263. - Good morning.
- Morning.Copy !req
264. A story which most of you
are aware of already...Copy !req
265. will break in wide circulation
by the end of the day.Copy !req
266. I'd like to read a brief statement
before I answer your questions.Copy !req
267. In June of 1993,
I voluntarily admitted myself...Copy !req
268. to the Sierra Tucson
rehabilitation facility...Copy !req
269. to treat an addiction
to alcohol and Valium.Copy !req
270. I am a recovering alcoholic
and drug addict.Copy !req
271. I deeply regret the pain and trouble
this has caused people in my life.Copy !req
272. I'd like to, at this point,
clarify a few things...Copy !req
273. Roger Tribby.Copy !req
274. Why the secretary of agriculture?Copy !req
275. The secretaries of state and defense
are famous faces for the camera.Copy !req
276. So if it blows up, my country will
look to the secretary of agriculture.Copy !req
277. - It's my country too.
- Yeah, but you'll be dead.Copy !req
278. I don't anticipate
the Capitol building exploding.Copy !req
279. When have things exploding
been anticipated?Copy !req
280. - Now you're bringing me down.
- I would think so.Copy !req
281. I thought he did well.Copy !req
282. Yeah. He did.Copy !req
283. I read the statement you wrote.
Great. I'm sorry no one will read it.Copy !req
284. The president will. He is right now.
I don't care.Copy !req
285. - Leo's gonna kill us.
- I don't care. Do you?Copy !req
286. No.Copy !req
287. Toby, the speech contains positions
Democrats aren't on board with yet.Copy !req
288. They can write their own speech.Copy !req
289. But they're the ones who have to run
against this a year from now.Copy !req
290. What's your concern?Copy !req
291. - We feel, even in this draft...
- You've made progress.Copy !req
292. But there's too much emphasis
on the role of the federal government.Copy !req
293. - I've pared down.
- We know.Copy !req
294. This is an opportunity for a pep rally,
to trumpet government.Copy !req
295. Why do we want to pretend
to be sorry for intruding?Copy !req
296. That's what people
want to hear.Copy !req
297. So I've been told.Copy !req
298. Pick a section, fight with me,
I'll lose and call in the next group.Copy !req
299. - You understand...
- Pick a section.Copy !req
300. There's a line waiting outside.Copy !req
301. I've got 31 hours to finish
writing this...Copy !req
302. - We don't...
- Federal funding for the arts.Copy !req
303. The NEA.Copy !req
304. Let us open our hymnals to page 22.Copy !req
305. - Leo?
- Yeah?Copy !req
306. - Mallory's here.
- Okay.Copy !req
307. - Dad.
- Hey, Mal.Copy !req
308. Are you okay?Copy !req
309. You told me it was gonna be
this afternoon.Copy !req
310. I told you that it probably...Copy !req
311. I wanted to be there.
Mom and I should have been there.Copy !req
312. A picture of me standing next
to my estranged wife is...Copy !req
313. I don't want to fight.Copy !req
314. Okay. Anyway...Copy !req
315. - I saw the president's statement.
- Statement?Copy !req
316. For the press, supporting you.
It's floating around.Copy !req
317. - It's floating around.
- It's very moving. He loves you.Copy !req
318. Excuse me.Copy !req
319. - Sam.
- Yeah?Copy !req
320. - Where we at?
- We're getting slapped around on the NEA.Copy !req
321. Man, why is he...?
On the NEA he's putting up a fight?Copy !req
322. - You did it again.
- Leo...Copy !req
323. I know you're pissed...Copy !req
324. - Has the president seen it?
- Yes, and he...Copy !req
325. Who gave it to him?Copy !req
326. - I did.
- I did.Copy !req
327. - You're giving me Abbott and Costello?
- I did.Copy !req
328. - I told you...
- They want to tear you down.Copy !req
329. They don't like you,
so they do this.Copy !req
330. And for us not to defend you...Copy !req
331. I disobeyed you, I apologize.
But that's the way it is.Copy !req
332. - The first lady's in your office.
- Thank you.Copy !req
333. This is not what I wanted.Copy !req
334. - You've got an itch for Sam Seaborn.
- I do not have an itch.Copy !req
335. - You want some free advice?
- Sure.Copy !req
336. Don't go for the geniuses.
They never want to sleep.Copy !req
337. Oh, Leo, hi.Copy !req
338. I hope I didn't take you away
from anything.Copy !req
339. I do not have an itch.Copy !req
340. I'm going.Copy !req
341. - Bye, sweetie.
- Bye, Daddy.Copy !req
342. You did good today.Copy !req
343. - Thank you.
- Mallory's very proud of you.Copy !req
344. Well...Copy !req
345. Do you think there's a huge downside
to postponing for a few days?Copy !req
346. - Did his fever go back up?
- No, it's going down.Copy !req
347. - What's going on?
- Nothing.Copy !req
348. What should I know
that I don't know?Copy !req
349. - Just to be...
- Why'd you cancel your trip?Copy !req
350. Because the president
has a temperature.Copy !req
351. The president's not in nursery school.Copy !req
352. - If it's a problem to postpone...
- It's not a problem to postpone.Copy !req
353. I won't let anything jeopardize
the president's health.Copy !req
354. - What I'm saying...
- Leo, please.Copy !req
355. This is me.Copy !req
356. This has happened before.Copy !req
357. I see you trying to cover the panic.Copy !req
358. I see you prescribing medication.
I think you're giving him shots.Copy !req
359. What does he have
he can't tell people?Copy !req
360. He has the flu.Copy !req
361. You wouldn't have come back
for that.Copy !req
362. He fainted.Copy !req
363. He was running a fever.Copy !req
364. He has multiple sclerosis.Copy !req
365. Oh, Abbey.Copy !req
366. A fever could be life-threatening.Copy !req
367. Mrs. Green, there are things
you must never say to Chief Bennett.Copy !req
368. He's married to someone else,
and so are you.Copy !req
369. Don't any of these characters
have jobs?Copy !req
370. I don't know.
I think one of them is a surgeon.Copy !req
371. They seem to have a lot of free time
in the middle of the day.Copy !req
372. Hello?Copy !req
373. She's changed her clothes a lot
for one day.Copy !req
374. Mr. McGarry's outside.Copy !req
375. Yeah. Would you mind
stepping out, Charlie?Copy !req
376. Abbey phoned and told me
about your conversation.Copy !req
377. It was diagnosed 7 years ago.
My life expectancy is normal.Copy !req
378. My particular course of MS
is called relapsing-remitting...Copy !req
379. which means I should experience
total recovery.Copy !req
380. Abbey gives me injections of Betaseron
that reduces the frequency.Copy !req
381. Fever and stress tend to be two things
that'll induce an attack.Copy !req
382. You're president,
the State of the Union is tomorrow...Copy !req
383. India and Pakistan have nuclear
weapons, you have a 102-degree fever.Copy !req
384. - So I guess we're out of the woods.
- 101.9.Copy !req
385. Jed, of all the things
that you could have kept from me.Copy !req
386. You haven't called me Jed
since I was elected.Copy !req
387. Why didn't you tell me?Copy !req
388. I wanted to be president.Copy !req
389. I still would've got you here.
I could've been a friend.Copy !req
390. - You've been a friend.
- But when it was time...Copy !req
391. When I was lying in a parking lot,
you were the one I called.Copy !req
392. When you stood up there today,
I was so proud.Copy !req
393. - No.
- I tried to get up and fell down again.Copy !req
394. I know the feeling.Copy !req
395. I'm so sorry, Leo, I really am.Copy !req
396. Mr. President?Copy !req
397. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
398. - Yeah, Charlie?
- Lord Marbury.Copy !req
399. Give us a minute,
would you please?Copy !req
400. The president's proposing that the NEA
budget be increased by 50%?Copy !req
401. The National Endowment amounts to
less than 1/100th of 1 %...Copy !req
402. of the total federal budget.
It costs taxpayers 39 cents a year.Copy !req
403. The arts budget for the U.S.
is equivalent to that of Sweden.Copy !req
404. With such a big deal being made
out of Mapplethorpe...Copy !req
405. Are you gay-bashing?Copy !req
406. All we'd like is for you
to not mention the NEA.Copy !req
407. I don't know what to tell people
who say that the NEA...Copy !req
408. supports art nobody
wants to pay for...Copy !req
409. or people who say Rodgers and Hart
didn't need the NEA to write Oklahoma!Copy !req
410. And Arthur Murray didn't need the NEA
to write Death of a Salesman.Copy !req
411. I'd tell them that Rodgers and
Hammerstein wrote Oklahoma!Copy !req
412. and Arthur Murray taught dance.Copy !req
413. Arthur Miller did need the NEA
to write Death of a Salesman.Copy !req
414. It was called the WPA back then.
It was Roosevelt's...Copy !req
415. It was Roosevelt's...Copy !req
416. Toby?Copy !req
417. Yeah?Copy !req
418. You stopped talking
in the middle of a...Copy !req
419. Thank you, everybody,
this meeting's over.Copy !req
420. There are marvelous flu remedies
known in parts of the subcontinent.Copy !req
421. Licorice root combined with bamboo sap
and a strong shot of whiskey.Copy !req
422. Ginger root also,
mixed with citrus peel.Copy !req
423. - And a shot of whiskey?
- Yes.Copy !req
424. In fact, you can throw out
the ginger root and citrus peel.Copy !req
425. What have you got for me, John?Copy !req
426. After speaking with your secretaries
of state and defense...Copy !req
427. I believe this:Copy !req
428. Buy them off.Copy !req
429. Buy them?Copy !req
430. - Yes, sir.
- How?Copy !req
431. For centuries, my kingdom has
ruled India with a stick and carrot.Copy !req
432. When we had a problem with someone,
we'd make him a maharajah.Copy !req
433. That's a kind of regional king.Copy !req
434. We'd pay him off with an annual
tribute. In return he'd be...Copy !req
435. loyal to the Crown.Copy !req
436. Under our Constitution, the president
is not empowered to create maharajahs.Copy !req
437. Thanks for clearing that up.
Having been educated at Cambridge...Copy !req
438. I am, as you know, quite stupid.Copy !req
439. - John, please.
- You've always paid the world off.Copy !req
440. During the cold war,
you paid dictators to be on your side.Copy !req
441. To this day, you pay North Korea
not to develop nuclear weapons.Copy !req
442. - What does India want?
- Computer industry.Copy !req
443. They require an infrastructure,
which you can give them.Copy !req
444. Why?Copy !req
445. - It's the price you pay.
- To avoid a war so far away?Copy !req
446. For being rich, free and alive
all at the same time.Copy !req
447. And for the neglect of Congress...Copy !req
448. in not checking the proliferation
of nuclear devices.Copy !req
449. - Your friend, the prime minister...
- Ricky.Copy !req
450. He's gonna go for this?Copy !req
451. If it's handled properly.Copy !req
452. Tell the ambassador
we'll discuss this in three months.Copy !req
453. In three months.
This isn't like quid pro quo.Copy !req
454. That's the carrot.
Leo, what's the stick?Copy !req
455. In 24 hours, we want recon photos
of Indian divisions retreating.Copy !req
456. If we don't, we're gonna seize
Indian assets in the U.S.Copy !req
457. So will our NATO allies.
G-7 will call in its loans.Copy !req
458. They put command control in the field
and we get physical. Let them know.Copy !req
459. Well, now I have my instructions.Copy !req
460. Talk to the ambassador.
I want to have photos in 24 hours.Copy !req
461. - Mr. President?
- Yes, Charlie.Copy !req
462. - Toby's here.
- Come in.Copy !req
463. - I'm gonna go back to the office.
- Let's hope.Copy !req
464. Hey, Toby.Copy !req
465. - How are you feeling?
- Much better, thank you.Copy !req
466. I was watching a program before
with a sort of a roving moderator...Copy !req
467. who spoke to a panel of young women
who were having boyfriend trouble...Copy !req
468. because the boys had slept
with the girlfriends' moms.Copy !req
469. Then the boys came out
and they all fought.Copy !req
470. Toby, tell me.
These people don't vote, do they?Copy !req
471. I wouldn't think so, no.Copy !req
472. - Excuse me.
- What do you need, Josh?Copy !req
473. I asked Josh to join me here, sir.Copy !req
474. What's on your mind?Copy !req
475. The era of big government is over.Copy !req
476. You wanna cut the line?Copy !req
477. I wanna change the sentiment.Copy !req
478. We're running away from ourselves.
I know we can score that way...Copy !req
479. I was an architect of that
campaign strategy along with Josh.Copy !req
480. But we're here now.Copy !req
481. Tomorrow night we do an immense thing.
We have to say what we feel.Copy !req
482. That government, no matter what its
past failures, and in times to come...Copy !req
483. government can be a place
where people come together...Copy !req
484. and where no one gets left behind.Copy !req
485. No one...Copy !req
486. gets left behind.Copy !req
487. An instrument of good.Copy !req
488. I have no trouble understanding
why the line tested well.Copy !req
489. But I don't think that means
we should say it, it means...Copy !req
490. we should change it.Copy !req
491. I think so too.Copy !req
492. What do you think, Josh?Copy !req
493. I make it a point never to disagree
with Toby when he's right.Copy !req
494. Then you and Sam get your people
together and get to work.Copy !req
495. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
496. Thank you.Copy !req
497. You're mad that Danny
flirted with Mandy.Copy !req
498. - Did I say that?
- I read between the lines.Copy !req
499. There are no lines.Copy !req
500. It can be pretty confusing.Copy !req
501. With Mallory, I don't know if she
likes me, hates me or is indifferent.Copy !req
502. I just wish she'd get past it
so we could move on.Copy !req
503. - You wrote the statement about my dad?
- Yes.Copy !req
504. - Well, now I'm even more confused.
- Yes.Copy !req
505. Though I gotta say,
I'm enjoying being a writer.Copy !req
506. - Is Danny Concanon in the press room?
- Yeah.Copy !req
507. Would you have him
come to my office, please?Copy !req
508. I wanna take your temperature
one last time.Copy !req
509. You took it 14 times in three hours.
You're not taking it again.Copy !req
510. At least not with a thermometer.Copy !req
511. If you wanna take it recreationally...Copy !req
512. There's something wrong with you.Copy !req
513. Why is "hallowed" spelled
with a pound sign?Copy !req
514. I stopped asking those questions.Copy !req
515. - Yes?
- It's C.J.Copy !req
516. - Okay.
- Can I come in?Copy !req
517. - C.J., this is your office.
- Right.Copy !req
518. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
519. So you have asked me out many times,
I have said no.Copy !req
520. - You said yes once.
- To a business dinner.Copy !req
521. Nonetheless, I do seem to have
a preoccupation...Copy !req
522. a sort of girlish, I suppose, thing.Copy !req
523. Please don't be mislead
by anything...Copy !req
524. In fact, let me
put it this way...Copy !req
525. I'm supposed to write
about the speech.Copy !req
526. My paper wants me to see it.
If you could move this along...Copy !req
527. I thought I'd kiss you,
you know, on the mouth...Copy !req
528. and then I'd just get past it.Copy !req
529. I'd get past it,
and then I'd be able to...Copy !req
530. give my work the kind of
concentration it really deserves.Copy !req
531. Okay.Copy !req
532. - How's right here?
- That's fine.Copy !req
533. - Be careful of the fish.
- Sure.Copy !req
534. I'm saying, because
if you rock against the...Copy !req
535. - How's that?
- Oh, good.Copy !req
536. - Past it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
537. Okay, I've gotta go now.Copy !req
538. - Taking that fish with you?
- No.Copy !req
539. - Walked into that door there.
- Yes.Copy !req
540. You're too fixed on Western medicine.
Bamboo sap, a gambir twig...Copy !req
541. - And a shot of whiskey.
- You're all set.Copy !req
542. - Good evening.
- Mr. President.Copy !req
543. Well, now, if I'm not mistaken...Copy !req
544. this is a photograph
of Indian troops in retreat.Copy !req
545. So is that, and so is this.Copy !req
546. Thank you, John.Copy !req
547. I'm leaving to see Ricky in an hour.
Many things to settle.Copy !req
548. - Godspeed, your Lordship.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
549. Abigail.Copy !req
550. - Good luck, John.
- Good luck to you too, Leo.Copy !req
551. Thank you.Copy !req
552. I'm off!Copy !req
553. Friends, let me
have your attention, please.Copy !req
554. A lot of time, energy,
passion, wit, skill and talent...Copy !req
555. went into drafting this.Copy !req
556. You may not see it in my performance,
but it is an extraordinary speech.Copy !req
557. I say thee yea, Toby Ziegler!
I say thee yea, Sam Seaborn!Copy !req
558. Motorcade's ready, the agriculture
secretary's at the Oval Office.Copy !req
559. - Roger.
- Good evening.Copy !req
560. Sorry you drew
the short straw on this.Copy !req
561. We'll miss you tonight.
Next year it's the surgeon general.Copy !req
562. - You can watch on TV in my study.
- Thank you, sir. I brought you a gift.Copy !req
563. - I know you love all things ancient.
- What is it?Copy !req
564. Someone translated
our Constitution into Latin.Copy !req
565. I think it was a high school project,
and it got published.Copy !req
566. Oh, this is magnificent.Copy !req
567. I highlighted an appropriate passage
from the executive powers section.Copy !req
568. Can you translate?Copy !req
569. "He shall, from time to time...Copy !req
570. give to the Congress information
of the State of the Union...Copy !req
571. and recommend to their
consideration such measures...Copy !req
572. as he shall judge necessary
and expedient. "Copy !req
573. Sounds right up your alley, sir.Copy !req
574. - Thanks, Roger.
- Knock them dead, sir.Copy !req
575. Oh, Roger. If anything happened,
you know what to do, right?Copy !req
576. - I hadn't thought about it.
- First is national security.Copy !req
577. Appoint joint chiefs, appoint a
chairman, take us to Defcon 4.Copy !req
578. Have emergency delegates sent
to Washington.Copy !req
579. The assistant attorney general
becomes the acting AG.Copy !req
580. If he tells you to bring out the
National Guard, do what he says.Copy !req
581. - You got a best friend?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
582. - Is he smarter than you?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
583. - Would you trust him with your life?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
584. That's your chief of staff.Copy !req
585. In the residence,
on the second floor...Copy !req
586. you have to jiggle the handle
on the toilet or it'll...Copy !req
587. I gotta go.Copy !req
588. You'll do fine.Copy !req
589. - People have phenomenal capacity.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
