- I understand the irony.Copy !req
16. - Are you being brusque?
- It's 3 a.m.Copy !req

a bill tomorrow.Copy !req

- Might.Copy !req
55. You don't know,
you'll get back to him.Copy !req
56. - It's Cameron, so who cares?
- Marcus is gonna care.Copy !req
57. You wanted to know
when he went to the cockpit.Copy !req
58. This man has got to be stopped.Copy !req
59. How you doing?Copy !req
60. - I can't be attentive on this trip.
- It's okay, you're working.Copy !req
61. I've been listening to you about
how to be a better boyfriend.Copy !req
62. - I know attentiveness...
- This is one of the times it's okay.Copy !req
63. It's hard to tell the difference.Copy !req
64. - I know. Doesn't that suck for you?
- A little bit, yeah.Copy !req
65. Don't be nervous.Copy !req
66. Come on in.Copy !req
67. Mr. President,
this is Special Agent Gina Toscano.Copy !req
68. - How do you do?
- Mr. President.Copy !req
69. - I'll step out.
- Thank you.Copy !req
70. I'm sorry we haven't met before.Copy !req
71. - You've been with Zoey, what?
- Two weeks.Copy !req
72. From the Army?
How'd you get there?Copy !req
73. - I was ROTC, University of Virginia.

my body man Charlie?Copy !req

83. I can't say for sure. We're working
with the Southern Poverty Law Center.Copy !req
84. You don't have artist sketches
or psychological profiles?Copy !req
85. Not much of either one.Copy !req
86. I know what I'm looking for in a
crowd, if that's what you're asking.Copy !req
87. - It is.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
88. Zoey's 19, and she wants
to be a teenager.Copy !req
89. She wants a college experience.
I loved college. So did my other kids.Copy !req
90. I want her to be comfortable with you.
I don't want her trying to escape.Copy !req
91. It's not your job to tell me
if she's cutting class...Copy !req
92. or dying her hair blue or going
to a club with her friends.Copy !req
93. You know what your job is.Copy !req
94. Yes, sir.Copy !req
95. Thank you.Copy !req
96. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
97. - Gina.
- Yes, sir?Copy !req
98. If she's cutting class,
I wanna know.Copy !req
99. - No deal, Mr. President.
- Okay.Copy !req
100. We didn't say it enough.Copy !req
101. Ethanol accounts for 20%
of Iowa's corn crops.Copy !req
102. - The tax credit created...
- 16,000 new jobs.Copy !req
103. - That's what we never said enough.
- Is it over?Copy !req
104. Sam's been calling senators
for the last hour.Copy !req
105. When my phone rings,
it'll be him saying it's over.Copy !req
106. - At least we're gonna win.
- Yeah.Copy !req
107. - Good morning.
- Good morning, Leo.Copy !req
108. You need to sign this.Copy !req
109. And this.Copy !req
110. Where it says your name. You're not
the Belgian foreign minister.Copy !req
111. - I said I was sorry.
- I'm not upset.Copy !req
112. - I had to stay behind for this.
- Of course.Copy !req
113. - There'll be other trips, Margaret.
- I know. There'll be other trips.Copy !req
114. - Not to California.
- Yes, to California.Copy !req
115. They've got 54 electoral votes.
We're not gonna be strangers.Copy !req
116. Leo McGarry's office.
It's Sam.Copy !req
117. Get the vice president over here.Copy !req
118. Guys?Copy !req
119. Everybody?Copy !req
120. We're landing soon.
I wanted to go over the itinerary.Copy !req
121. At the moment we're on schedule.Copy !req
122. The president will be met
by Congressmen Hark and Jansen...Copy !req
123. the mayor and city council.
Photos only, no formal remarks.Copy !req
124. We'll depart at 6:20, at which point
I predict we won't be on schedule.Copy !req
125. At the hotel, the president will get
his briefing, followed by staff time.Copy !req
126. At 10 a.m. we'll leave for a meeting.
The president will hear a debate...Copy !req
127. on the proposal to amend the
Constitution to prohibit flag-burning.Copy !req
128. At 3 p.m. we go to South Central for a
town hall meeting on school vouchers.Copy !req
129. That takes us to the event
you've been waiting for...Copy !req
130. the fundraiser
at Ted Marcus ' home.Copy !req
131. The press will wear coats and ties,
and stay in the press area...Copy !req
132. unless you've got $50,000
to look at the good stuff.Copy !req
133. Welcome to Los Angeles.
Local time is 5:40 a.m.Copy !req
134. The temperature's a balmy 73 degrees.Copy !req
135. - Need help with your luggage?
- You're fine.Copy !req
136. There were messages for you.Copy !req
137. I've spent half my life
in hotels, and I can't...Copy !req
138. - Levy.
- Later. This isn't for your room?Copy !req
139. - It's for yours. Mandy.
- Later. You sure?Copy !req
140. - Yes. The deputy whip.
- Later. There used to be keys.Copy !req
141. Give me that.Copy !req
142. You stuck it in, turned it,
you're through the door.Copy !req
143. I loosened it.Copy !req
144. - Dreyfus from political affairs.
- Later.Copy !req
145. Joey Lucas.Copy !req
146. - Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
147. - She called?
- Yes.Copy !req
148. - She's here?
- In this hotel.Copy !req
149. - She's in this hotel?
- She's at the fundraiser.Copy !req
150. Really?Copy !req
151. - Really? Why did she call?
- To say she'll be at the fundraiser.Copy !req
152. - Really?
- Yes!Copy !req
153. You've got a crush on her.
Do something...Copy !req
154. - ... because you're bothering me.
- I don't care.Copy !req
155. - Call her right now.
- I'll see her tonight.Copy !req
156. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. "
Know what it means?Copy !req
157. Gather now because later
you might not be able to.Copy !req
158. "Interpreting the Classics"
with poet Donna Moss.Copy !req
159. - Call her or stop bugging me.
- Let's call her.Copy !req
160. - Really?
- Yeah. Let's do it.Copy !req
161. Call her,
then we'll do everybody else.Copy !req
162. I have alabaster skin, you know.Copy !req
163. - Dial the phone.
- I'm just saying.Copy !req
164. - Also, Ted Marcus called.
- What?Copy !req
165. Ted Marcus called.Copy !req
166. Hang on. Damn it.Copy !req
167. Better call him first.Copy !req
168. - Good morning.
- Beat me to the door.Copy !req
169. Cameron introduced
his resolution this morning.Copy !req
170. - I didn't know that.
- House Resolution 973.Copy !req
171. - This is beautiful.
- Banning gays in the military.Copy !req
172. - I was on a plane all night.
- It happened this morning.Copy !req
173. - Studio chairman. Nice work.
- Let's not talk about my house.Copy !req
174. What do you want to talk about?
Why'd you haul me out here?Copy !req
175. You want to watch your tone. I'm
sending you home with $2.5 million.Copy !req
176. What do I want to talk about?Copy !req
177. Cameron's bill is a joke.
It's the House. It's procedure.Copy !req
178. Know how many bills get introduced,
never get a vote?Copy !req
179. That's it?
You came to me with that?Copy !req
180. I came because you asked.
I've got a cab waiting.Copy !req
181. - You're right.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
182. - I'm being silly.
- It's nothing. See you later.Copy !req
183. - The president's looking forward to it.
- Pack it up. The party's off.Copy !req
184. I'm sorry, it's not gonna happen.Copy !req
185. - The food and flowers?
- Give them to the guys.Copy !req
186. - You're a bad bluffer.
- That's why I never do it.Copy !req
187. - You won't cancel the fundraiser.
- I already did.Copy !req
188. The president will eat room service
tonight. Your cab's waiting.Copy !req
189. - That was abrupt. I apologize.
- Accepted.Copy !req
190. - You can't cancel.
- Witness the loading of trucks.Copy !req
191. This is ridiculous.
You'll be a joke to our people.Copy !req
192. Disrespected by the Democrats?
What will I do with my $3 billion?Copy !req
193. No one will pass a bill
banning gays in the military.Copy !req
194. If the House and Senate passed it,
the president would never sign it.Copy !req
195. - Okay?
- Fantabulous.Copy !req
196. - You won't flake on me?
- We're fine.Copy !req
197. - The party's on?
- You bet.Copy !req
198. As soon as I hear the president
say what you said.Copy !req
199. Tell me what time
I should be tuned to my TV...Copy !req
200. - ... to hear him say that.
- It won't happen.Copy !req
201. Then we've got a problem.
Don't screw with me.Copy !req
202. I've been president
longer than he has.Copy !req
203. - The vice president.
- Thank you.Copy !req
204. - Morning.
- Mr. Vice President.Copy !req
205. - Still 50-50?
- That's how it'll stay.Copy !req
206. - Sam talked to Huntington?
- He talked to him...Copy !req
207. he talked to Gianelli, Calley...Copy !req
208. - ... Martinson and Rathburn.
- Recently?Copy !req
209. This morning. Nobody's moving.Copy !req
210. - It looked like it'd go this way.
- Not to me. I was surprised.Copy !req
211. Well, I was in the Senate
with 94 of these guys.Copy !req
212. Anyway...Copy !req
213. The president needs you to fulfill
one of your constitutional duties...Copy !req
214. and vote for the tax credit.
We need you to break the tie.Copy !req
215. He also asked me to tell you that he
regrets putting you in this position.Copy !req
216. Get me off the hook.
You can't ask me to do this.Copy !req
217. - I know how you feel.
- I don't think so.Copy !req
218. I spent eight years in the Senate
voting against this tax credit.Copy !req
219. I'm still right, but the point is...Copy !req
220. 16,000 new jobs. $4 billion
in plant and equipment...Copy !req
221. because the tax credit
made it economical.Copy !req
222. This tax credit has accomplished
none of its goals.Copy !req
223. Production is minimal. It will never
reduce dependence on foreign oil.Copy !req
224. It requires energy to produce, which
washes out any conservation effect.Copy !req
225. John, what's the point?Copy !req
226. The Republicans will make me eat it
for dinner, and you know that.Copy !req
227. So let's get serious.Copy !req
228. Mr. President, I rise today
to say that the American flag...Copy !req
229. is the most recognized symbol
in the world.Copy !req
230. Wherever it stands,
it represents freedom.Copy !req
231. Americans who served our nation
in war have carried it into battle.Copy !req
232. They have been killed
for wearing it...Copy !req
233. as it represents the most feared
power to tyranny. That is liberty.Copy !req
234. Mr. President,
this is not a perfect nation.Copy !req
235. But to the world, our flag
represents that which is right.Copy !req
236. To Americans it represents...Copy !req
237. our national unity, our national
endeavor, our national aspiration...Copy !req
238. I've just come from Ted Marcus'.Copy !req
239. He's threatening to cancel unless
the president comes out against 973.Copy !req
240. - It won't pass.
- I explained that.Copy !req
241. - What did he say?
- He takes it seriously...Copy !req
242. and is distressed
by the president's silence.Copy !req
243. He feels it's a betrayal
of the gay community...Copy !req
244. for him to be so publicly
supportive of the president.Copy !req
245. It's not in his interest
for a statement to be made.Copy !req
246. - It'll give credibility...
- Use those words.Copy !req
247. A man of his media savvy will realize
the president can't be blackmailed.Copy !req
248. And should the president choose not to
kowtow to Hollywood blah-blah-blah...Copy !req
249. it'll only solidify his public
reputation as a man of character.Copy !req
250. Which buys more than
$2.5 million of support.Copy !req
251. If he has the party, he gets
10 minutes alone with the president.Copy !req
252. - I can sell that.
- Let's go back.Copy !req
253. How's he doing?Copy !req
254. He looks like he's thinking
about ways to kill himself.Copy !req
255. It's disgraceful that individuals
would desecrate the flag...Copy !req
256. that our nation's veterans
have fought so valiantly to protect.Copy !req
257. Mr. President, it's important
that we finally enact...Copy !req
258. legal protections for our flag.Copy !req
259. I rise in strong support
for the flag desecration amendment.Copy !req
260. I'm sorry, I've just been told
I have to go.Copy !req
261. This is a debate
that is going to continue...Copy !req
262. in town halls, city halls,
state legislatures...Copy !req
263. and the House of Representatives.Copy !req
264. There is a group that focuses a great
deal of time and energy on this.Copy !req
265. So much so that
I am moved to ask this question:Copy !req
266. Is there an epidemic of flag-burning
that I'm not aware of?Copy !req
267. I mean it, is there an outbreak
of flag desecration?Copy !req
268. No, so let's blow off Kiefer.Copy !req
269. - Don't feel threatened by Kiefer.
- I don't.Copy !req
270. Excellent. We're doing it over lunch.
Back at the hotel.Copy !req
271. Where's Zoey having lunch?Copy !req
272. A place called the Playa Cantina.
She wanted an L.A. experience.Copy !req
273. - Is it good?
- They make guacamole in front of you.Copy !req
274. That's an L.A. experience?Copy !req
275. - She meant the people.
- There won't be any.Copy !req
276. You'll be joining her?
It'd be easier at the hotel.Copy !req
277. The hotel wouldn't make
a guacamole in front of me.Copy !req
278. - I need to talk about Marcus.
- In the car. Who's talking to Leo?Copy !req
279. He's with the vice president.Copy !req
280. - Sir, this lunch with Al Kiefer...
- Those people don't like me.Copy !req
281. They haven't gotten to know you.Copy !req
282. You'd think there was an epidemic
of flag-burning, endangering lives.Copy !req
283. I'm having lunch with Zoey. Sit with
Kiefer, let me know when to listen.Copy !req
284. - See you there.
- I'm not in the car?Copy !req
285. No, you made fun of the guacamole.
You were thinking it.Copy !req
286. - Fair enough.
- Good.Copy !req
287. - I can't believe you did this.
- Surprised you.Copy !req
288. I wanted to eat lunch with L.A. people.
I wanted atmosphere.Copy !req
289. - They cleared out the place.
- But the guy made guacamole.Copy !req
290. - This is fun.
- I was having fun...Copy !req
291. but you come within 100 meters,
and my protection quadruples.Copy !req
292. I hadn't thought about that.Copy !req
293. Now that you mention it,
yeah, I think you're right.Copy !req
294. - It is.
- Is somebody after me in California?Copy !req
295. All kinds of things. You've got smog,
freeway shootings, fires, mudslides.Copy !req
296. Plus, apparently there is
a mad rash of flag-burning going on.Copy !req
297. - You think you're funny.
- Right there, they made the guacamole.Copy !req
298. On flag-burning, it's obvious.
If he says nothing, he takes a hit.Copy !req
299. If he stands in opposition to it,
update your resumes.Copy !req
300. - I don't buy that.
- People respect a man with beliefs.Copy !req
301. You are looking at this the wrong way.Copy !req
302. Don't play defense. Lead the charge.Copy !req
303. - You said we couldn't.
- I didn't.Copy !req
304. You said if we opposed it vocally,
we'd take a hit.Copy !req
305. Right. I'm saying
don't stay quiet, and don't oppose it.Copy !req
306. Lead the charge the other way.Copy !req
307. What?Copy !req
308. Has Al said something
I should listen to yet?Copy !req
309. We'll let you know.Copy !req
310. Do you want to sew up
re-election right now?Copy !req
311. Want to lock down
your second term in this room?Copy !req
312. - What do you got?
- A truckload of voters.Copy !req
313. About 47 percent.
Overwhelmingly white men.Copy !req
314. Pool and patio types who voted
against you by 20-plus points.Copy !req
315. They share an affinity to authority,
a president.Copy !req
316. They see you as smart, with vision.
Why didn't they vote for you?Copy !req
317. Because they also see you as a wimp.Copy !req
318. - Two-thirds rate you as "weak. "
- We've heard these numbers.Copy !req
319. I never get tired of hearing them,
especially in front of my daughter.Copy !req
320. I know this is not a popular idea.
But I've got numbers and I trust them.Copy !req
321. The reason you all look pale is,
so do you. This is not theoretical.Copy !req
322. The flag-burning amendment made it
through the House easily.Copy !req
323. It hasn't made it through the Senate
yet, but that day will come soon.Copy !req
324. Laws against flag-burning
are overwhelmingly favored.Copy !req
325. A constitutional amendment won't
be subject to a presidential veto...Copy !req
326. or overturning by the Supreme
Court. This means one thing:Copy !req
327. It's over! The game's
been played and won.Copy !req
328. You know the results early, so you
get to pick which side to be on.Copy !req
329. Not only do we get
to be on the winning team...Copy !req
330. we get to lead
the winning team.Copy !req
331. Excuse me.Copy !req
332. - Toby, you're smiling.
- I just figured out who you were.Copy !req
333. - He's gonna say Satan.
- No.Copy !req
334. You're the guy who runs into
the 7-Eleven to get Satan cigarettes.Copy !req
335. - Mr. President.
- Yeah.Copy !req
336. - We'll talk about this later.
- We will?Copy !req
337. Eagle's moving.Copy !req
338. - Mr. President...
- Men with patios think I'm weak.Copy !req
339. I won't mention the 49 times
we asked you not to meet him.Copy !req
340. Was that Marcus on the phone?Copy !req
341. We sold him on 10 minutes
in a room with you. Ten minutes.Copy !req
342. I used to like parties.Copy !req
343. I just wanted a regular lunch,
in a restaurant with people.Copy !req
344. - Dad sees danger behind curtains.
- Walk on the other side of me, okay?Copy !req
345. Let's get in the car, okay?Copy !req
346. Look at this house!Copy !req
347. - I mean, look at it.
- It's a nice house.Copy !req
348. You haven't said anything
about my dress.Copy !req
349. You look very nice.Copy !req
350. - You're not looking.
- I'm looking at the house.Copy !req
351. Let me introduce myself. Mark Miller,
head of development at Paragon.Copy !req
352. Good to meet you. Does my money
buy me a few words alone with you?Copy !req
353. Throw in chocolates and nylons,
get you more than that.Copy !req
354. - Sure.
- I'll be at the bar drinking a lot...Copy !req
355. - ... if anybody wants me.
- Nobody will.Copy !req
356. - I'll come right out. I'm a big fan.
- Thank you.Copy !req
357. There's a place for you
in our company. In development.Copy !req
358. - What?
- Development of projects.Copy !req
359. - What's that mean?
- You'd develop feature projects.Copy !req
360. Movies? You don't want me.
You want Toby or Sam.Copy !req
361. - I'm not a writer. I can't act.
- You'd just be in development.Copy !req
362. - And what's that?
- Shepherding, developing projects.Copy !req
363. I thought a guy writes a movie
and a guy directs a movie.Copy !req
364. And in between there are
designers and technicians and actors.Copy !req
365. - So tell me what I'd do again.
- Development.Copy !req
366. At the moment I have a good job
and I understand what it is.Copy !req
367. I sure appreciate... Sam!
Would you excuse me, Mark?Copy !req
368. I'm sorry. I've gotta talk to Sam
about a thing the president wants...Copy !req
369. Pretend you're talking to me.
Walk me outside.Copy !req
370. Did he offer you a development deal?
Me too.Copy !req
371. Do you know what it is?
Me neither.Copy !req
372. The bedrock principle
of the First Amendment...Copy !req
373. is that government cannot prohibit
expression because it's disagreeable.Copy !req
374. Justice Brennan for the majority.Copy !req
375. I'm a real fan, David. It's not just
Baywatch and Knight Rider with me.Copy !req
376. Thank you.Copy !req
377. Nick Fury, Panic at Malibu Pier,
The Cartier Affair, Pleasure Cove.Copy !req
378. Excuse us.Copy !req
379. - He's into me.
- You're scaring guests. He's married.Copy !req
380. - It's California. A girl can dream.
- Stop drinking.Copy !req
381. Matt Perry right there. Goodbye.Copy !req
382. - Josh!
- I know that voice.Copy !req
383. How long was it gonna take
for you to say hello to me?Copy !req
384. I got your message this morning,
but I've been running around.Copy !req
385. I didn't see you until now.Copy !req
386. I saw you.Copy !req
387. Well, then you should
have said hello to me.Copy !req
388. - You looked absorbed in conversations.
- I can assure you I was not.Copy !req
389. - Well then.
- Well then, what?Copy !req
390. - Hello.
- Hello!Copy !req
391. - We're just here for the day...
- Josh, we gotta talk.Copy !req
392. Can you not...?Copy !req
393. - Don't leave the party, okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
394. I know we've had our ups and downs,
but let me be your guy for a second.Copy !req
395. You can't be the first vice president
to break a tie going the other way.Copy !req
396. - I'm not looking to make history.
- You're gonna get ink either way.Copy !req
397. I know. It eats at you that there's
friction between you and my staff.Copy !req
398. You think they don't respect you,
and they do.Copy !req
399. They don't trust you.
Neither does the president.Copy !req
400. I know that's blunt, but I convinced
him to put you on the ticket.Copy !req
401. And I'm gonna be standing here
when you make history.Copy !req
402. Allow for the possibility that my
motives might not always be sinister.Copy !req
403. You and your staff are remarkably
smug. Frankly, so is the president.Copy !req
404. The fact you think I care
if there's friction is proof of that.Copy !req
405. You won't set foot in the west wing,
you won't be on the ticket next time.Copy !req
406. Leo, I think you guys set me up.Copy !req
407. You think the president could arrange
for a 50-50 tie in the Senate?Copy !req
408. I think the president can do
whatever he wants.Copy !req
409. You're wrong.Copy !req
410. - Where's the president?
- At Ted Marcus' fundraiser.Copy !req
411. I think it's time for you to call him.Copy !req
412. Give me a reason not to fire him.Copy !req
413. When you run out of reasons, remember
you can't fire the vice president.Copy !req
414. I can ask for his resignation.Copy !req
415. I gotta tell you something
you won't like.Copy !req
416. - What?
- He's right and we're wrong.Copy !req
417. - About what?
- About the ethanol tax.Copy !req
418. - Leo's right.
- Sam's weighing in.Copy !req
419. I got McCambridge, Aiello
and Dane to vote our way.Copy !req
420. Send them back. We lose, and
the vice president's off the hook.Copy !req
421. Let's do that.Copy !req
422. I'm not done with Hoynes,
but dump it.Copy !req
423. - The thing about the vice president...
- I'll call him from the plane.Copy !req
424. Craziest thing I've ever heard.Copy !req
425. - Jay, you can't drive all those cars.
- Not all at once.Copy !req
426. I know not all at once.Copy !req
427. - Claudia Jean, this is Veronica Webb.
- Pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
428. - Can I talk to you?
- Sure. Excuse me.Copy !req
429. The president appreciates
your laying off Leo McGarry.Copy !req
430. - It hasn't gone unnoticed.
- You give me material every night.Copy !req
431. - Well, if there's anything I can do.
- You know what would be great?Copy !req
432. Get the president
to drive his bike into a tree again.Copy !req
433. It's my bread and butter.
It's what I live on.Copy !req
434. You're very funny.
How does she look like that?Copy !req
435. Clean living. Prayer.Copy !req
436. Gotta go.Copy !req
437. Sorry, I gotta talk to Sam.
Pretend you're talking to me again.Copy !req
438. - Let's use code names.
- Where's Josh?Copy !req
439. Talking to that woman. Maybe they're
just pretending to be talking.Copy !req
440. Indeed.Copy !req
441. - Wanna know what we did for lunch?
- What?Copy !req
442. We met a pollster who said
we could sew up re-election...Copy !req
443. if the president favored
a flag-burning amendment.Copy !req
444. - I heard.
- How?Copy !req
445. I hear everything.Copy !req
446. It was a stupid joke.
I don't get a sympathy laugh?Copy !req
447. Seriously, this guy
had some pretty scary numbers.Copy !req
448. Josh, I just made
a three-picture deal.Copy !req
449. - A deal to do what?
- It doesn't seem to matter.Copy !req
450. This is Joey Lucas
and her assistant.Copy !req
451. You're running
O'Dwyer's campaign in the 46th.Copy !req
452. I know who you are.Copy !req
453. I was telling her
about Kiefer's numbers.Copy !req
454. I've seen those numbers.
We share polling data.Copy !req
455. - And?
- Kiefer asked the wrong questions.Copy !req
456. His poll said 80% favored
a flag-burning amendment.Copy !req
457. The same percentage favors
sending litterbugs to prison.Copy !req
458. - He never asked how much they care.
- Please say that you did.Copy !req
459. - How good do I look to you right now?
- That depends on the numbers.Copy !req
460. 37%.Copy !req
461. Less than half of those in favor rated
the issue "fairly" or "very important. "Copy !req
462. 12%, less than a third,
said the issue would swing their vote.Copy !req
463. The only place this war
is being fought is in Washington.Copy !req
464. You're looking
very good to me right now.Copy !req
465. I thought so.Copy !req
466. - Good to meet you.
- Pleasure.Copy !req
467. Nice meeting you.Copy !req
468. You have any idea how big
you just scored with Toby and Sam?Copy !req
469. - But still...
- What?Copy !req
470. If the president talks about this,
he should say people shouldn't do it.Copy !req
471. It's a form of protest that,
for a lot of people, is troubling.Copy !req
472. - Your poll says that?
- I do. So do a lot of people.Copy !req
473. Vox populi vox Dei.Copy !req
474. - The voice of the people is a dog.
- The voice of God.Copy !req
475. - I came here with someone.
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
476. I came here with someone.Copy !req
477. I should go. I have to go.Copy !req
478. Wait. Will you call me
next time you come out here?Copy !req
479. Absolutely.Copy !req
480. I will call in advance of my coming.Copy !req
481. It was really good to see you.Copy !req
482. You too.Copy !req
483. I don't need to tell you
that I've got a large microphone...Copy !req
484. and I'm gonna demand you announce
you'll veto Cameron's bill.Copy !req
485. It won't pass.
It won't get voted on.Copy !req
486. I'm saying, as a gesture.
As a symbol.Copy !req
487. As a gesture, as a symbol, demand that
and you'll be Cameron's friend.Copy !req
488. The people in my house want this.Copy !req
489. They're complaining that
you take money without listening.Copy !req
490. Give me the name
of one person who's complaining.Copy !req
491. I'll call personally and say
I'll never sign a law like that.Copy !req
492. - Then why won't you say that...
- Ted.Copy !req
493. - Why won't you say that publicly?
- Because I know what I'm doing!Copy !req
494. I live in the world
of professional politics...Copy !req
495. and you live in the world
of adolescent tantrum!Copy !req
496. Don't you ever
slap Josh Lyman around again.Copy !req
497. He's the deputy chief of staff.
He's not some associate producer.Copy !req
498. - You're right.
- Don't screw with me.Copy !req
499. - You're right.
- Right this second...Copy !req
500. the worst thing that could happen
would be to put that up for debate...Copy !req
501. which happens as soon as
I open my mouth. Get it?Copy !req
502. I'm a human starting gun!Copy !req
503. - Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
- I do trust you. I do.Copy !req
504. And I like you too.Copy !req
505. Thank you.Copy !req
506. Have you enjoyed yourself tonight?Copy !req
507. No.Copy !req
508. Me neither.Copy !req
509. If you don't mind my saying...Copy !req
510. you look more tired than you did
a couple of months ago.Copy !req
511. Imagine how tired I'm gonna look
a couple of months from now.Copy !req
512. I haven't slept well lately.Copy !req
513. Kept everyone up
on the plane on the way out.Copy !req
514. You know, we left at 3 in the morning.Copy !req
515. I really want to try
to sleep on the way back.Copy !req
516. - That was it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
517. - Because she was with somebody?
- She was with somebody.Copy !req
518. - She's with somebody.
- She could've just said that.Copy !req
519. - Why would she have been saying that?
- For the allure.Copy !req
520. - Go see her.
- It's 1:00 a.m.Copy !req
521. Knock on her door.Copy !req
522. I'm not gonna knock on her door
at 1 a.m.Copy !req
523. You had to see her once more
before you left...Copy !req
524. because God knows
what fate awaits you there.Copy !req
525. - Are you okay?
- Gather ye rosebuds.Copy !req
526. I am not gonna knock on her door.Copy !req
527. Were you just clucking?
Was that what that was?Copy !req
528. I don't have her room number.Copy !req
529. Yes, you do. Phone message!Copy !req
530. First of all, don't do
that anymore. "Phone message! "Copy !req
531. And?Copy !req
532. Tell them I'll be down in one minute.Copy !req
533. - How's she gonna know I'm knocking?
- There's a button. A light flashes.Copy !req
534. I'll be there in a minute.Copy !req
535. - What can I do for you?
- You know, I got the wrong room.Copy !req
536. I don't think so.
You looking for Joey?Copy !req
537. - Yeah.
- She's right here.Copy !req
538. No, I'm not.
I was stopping to say goodbye.Copy !req
539. - Don't bother.
- Who's there?Copy !req
540. I wanted to say goodbye.
We're taking off.Copy !req
541. And...Copy !req
542. Thank you for talking to us tonight.
That was helpful.Copy !req
543. She said goodbye.Copy !req
544. I know.Copy !req
545. Goodbye.Copy !req
546. Anyway, Mr. Vice President,
it's taken care of.Copy !req
547. - We can put it to rest.
- Thank you.Copy !req
548. - You're welcome. Bye.
- Good night.Copy !req
549. - Wait. John?
- Yes, sir?Copy !req
550. I wanna tell you,
a couple of years ago in Iowa...Copy !req
551. I admired the way you hung in there
on the ethanol tax credit.Copy !req
552. You said what you'd been saying
for eight years...Copy !req
553. even though you knew
it wasn't gonna play.Copy !req
554. My confession is, you and I agree on
ethanol, but only you said it.Copy !req
555. You stood in there even though
you knew you were gonna lose Iowa.Copy !req
556. Anyway...Copy !req
557. I just wanted to say...Copy !req
558. you had a good day today.Copy !req
559. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
560. I'm gonna try to sleep now.Copy !req
561. Good night. See you in the morning.Copy !req
