- Why not?Copy !req
139. This isn't Hawaii Five-O.
I'll be the cop that doesn't go.Copy !req
140. You have to go. If you're not there,
they'll start out insulted.Copy !req
141. - If I go, they'll end up insulted.
- Let's go.Copy !req
142. I need to get to exercise more.
Exercise more, eat better.Copy !req
143. You're gonna sit
in that room and behave.Copy !req

146. I can still kick the crap out of you.Copy !req
147. Then what are we waiting for?
I'll be nice.Copy !req
148. - The president's serious.
- Shouldn't be.Copy !req
149. So you've said, but they're here
so I guess he disagrees with you.Copy !req
150. I understand. Let's go.Copy !req
151. You're going to sit there. If you
open your mouth, say something nice.Copy !req

- It's a wire piece.Copy !req
166. People say she'd hoped he'd appoint
Erlich when Dahl's term expired.Copy !req
167. I don't know who the people are, but
it's possible, on a social occasion...Copy !req
168. When will a chairman be named?Copy !req
169. - We're hoping by tomorrow.
- Why the delay?Copy !req
170. Respect.Copy !req

preference for Erlich.Copy !req
186. - It's well-known.
- It was in a wire piece.Copy !req
187. - "Sources close to Mrs. Bartlet. "

- I don't know anything about it.Copy !req
189. We'll tell you
when we want something leaked.Copy !req
190. I'm telling you I don't know. If C.J.
wants to come and call me a liar...Copy !req

No one's calling you a liar.Copy !req
192. We need our two staffs

193. We need your staff
to work better with ours.Copy !req
194. That's the spirit, Sam.

- Okay.Copy !req
197. Without regard to past arguments...Copy !req
198. The national debt was so high
we sucked up to the bond market.Copy !req
199. That condition doesn't exist anymore.Copy !req

built on growth and a GDP of 5%.Copy !req
201. With the deflationary pressures
of the global economy...Copy !req
202. growth can be achieved
without rampant inflation.Copy !req
203. - Do you understand?

of what you're saying.Copy !req
206. - I don't understand.
- Ron Erlich might not be the guy.Copy !req
207. It's not a mortal lock.Copy !req
208. I suggest I talk to the first lady
and ask her to clarify her position:Copy !req
209. "My husband will choose the best man. "Copy !req
210. C.J., we don't handle my wife.
When we try, do you know what happens?Copy !req

212. Let's move on.
It's not a big deal.Copy !req
213. But find out who those friends of
my wife's are in the wire piece...Copy !req
214. and have them shot.
Can I do that? Leo says I can.Copy !req
215. Phyllis doesn't like me.Copy !req

222. - No.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
223. I'll tell you what else. Historically,
2 to 2.5% GDP expansion...Copy !req
224. is classified as lackluster,
even anemic, economic growth.Copy !req
225. 4.5 to 5% is needed to be considered
robust and not even spectacular.Copy !req
226. - I don't know what you're saying.
- Sometimes I just make it up.Copy !req
227. Hello, sweetheart.Copy !req
228. - You used to go to school in overalls.

236. I would definitely put my shoulder
into Intro to Cinema.Copy !req
237. It got me where I am today.Copy !req
238. - Did you call me to make fun of me?
- That's a big part of my day.Copy !req

240. - What did I do?
- Nothing.Copy !req

than I'm comfortable with.Copy !req
248. - So you've said.
- I see it's had an impact on you.Copy !req
249. - How bad are the letters?
- No worse than anything else they get.Copy !req

257. - We're meeting later. I'll tell him.

258. - Don't make something up.
- He won't like it.Copy !req
259. You sure you don't
want me to tell him?Copy !req
260. - Yeah.
- Okay.Copy !req
261. - The assistant secretary of Treasury.
- You gotta go.Copy !req
262. Sorry about Bernie Dahl.
Is Ron Erlich gonna be the new chair?Copy !req
263. You want the job? Can't have it.
Know why? No math. Goodbye.Copy !req
264. We're Democrats.
Since when do we like lower taxes?Copy !req

272. That's nothing to me. To an economist,
that's a week in St. Barts.Copy !req
273. Don't talk to us like we're 12.Copy !req

275. into the country will have
on American labor.Copy !req
276. We're concerned about
environmental controls.Copy !req
277. - Concerns which are reasonable.
- You're concerned with American labor?Copy !req
278. - What do you drive?

- Excuse me.Copy !req
280. What Toby meant to say is
that we don't see you often...Copy !req
281. and it's a crying shame.Copy !req
282. Sit tight. We're just getting started.
Think about lunch.Copy !req
283. Think about the fact that
we're courting your vote...Copy !req
284. - ... for reasons passing understanding.
- Get out here.Copy !req
285. This is why you have a reputation as
a pain in the ass. Can you try harder?Copy !req
286. - Sure, because I'm not trying at all.

287. The wire has a piece.
Sources close to the first lady...Copy !req
288. - Who are the sources?

to handle her.Copy !req
293. Did he say that, or did he say,
"Handle her, but I didn't say that"?Copy !req
294. - I don't know.

307. Can I talk to you over there
for a second?Copy !req
308. - Congresswoman.

334. - I need you first.
- What is it?Copy !req
335. I told the president about it.
He didn't want the first lady handled.Copy !req
336. - Did he mean it?
- I don't know.Copy !req
337. - Gotta pick up the signs.
- I have most of them.Copy !req
338. - It's important.
- If you talk to Lilli again...Copy !req
339. - Clarification.
- Nudge her in that direction.Copy !req
340. - Where are Josh and Toby?
- Meeting.Copy !req
341. - Gotta learn the signs.
- I know.Copy !req
342. Can you deny the fact that you can
buy a British-made Range Rover...Copy !req
343. has hurt Ford to a degree?Copy !req
344. I can.Copy !req
345. I can deny it. Range Rover
inspired the Explorer...Copy !req
346. a bestseller
and Ford's biggest success in years.Copy !req
347. Will you excuse us for a moment?Copy !req
348. - Are we keeping you from something?
- Many, many things.Copy !req
349. If you've had an attitude improvement,
it's marginal.Copy !req
350. - We're in hour 4 now.
- Guys.Copy !req
351. - I thought you were at the gym.
- Becky Reeseman came over.Copy !req
352. She made it clear
it was just a courtesy.Copy !req
353. She's attaching
a child labor amendment.Copy !req
354. - To what?
- To this.Copy !req
355. - When?
- Tonight.Copy !req
356. - This is why we fast-tracked it.
- She's on Ways and Means.Copy !req
357. - This wasn't a joke?
- She was inspired by the first lady.Copy !req
358. - She thought there were trumpets...
- Trumpets?Copy !req
359. - The trumpet call. They sounded?
- What goes on at that gym?Copy !req
360. She thinks the train is leaving.Copy !req
361. Mrs. Bartlet has to get Reeseman
to back off.Copy !req
362. - What if she's on Abbey's orders?
- I'll talk to Lilli.Copy !req
363. I'll go. I'm going in on Erlich.
Might as well take two hits.Copy !req
364. Impress upon her that it's taken
7 years to get the bill this far.Copy !req
365. Add this amendment,
I gotta be nice to these people.Copy !req
366. Bring this one home, Sam.Copy !req
367. - After you.
- After you.Copy !req
368. - 20 minutes and we're on campus.
- Rutledge? I read a review.Copy !req
369. It's great. It begins, "In the summer
of 1900, my grandmother... "Copy !req
370. - You took notes.
- Know why?Copy !req
371. - You're totally anal?
- No.Copy !req
372. Yes, that's it.Copy !req
373. " 100 years ago, the average
life expectancy was 47. "Copy !req
374. - Only 14% of homes had a bathtub.
- "8% had a telephone. "Copy !req
375. More than 95% of births
took place at home.Copy !req
376. "90% of physicians had
no college education. "Copy !req
377. This is fun.
It's a time-travel thing we're doing.Copy !req
378. - You want my egg salad, don't you?
- I really do.Copy !req
379. - You have to get back?
- I've got a few minutes.Copy !req
380. - I need to talk about Friday.
- I took back the suit.Copy !req
381. I liked it, you didn't, that's okay. I
got a powder-blue tuxedo with ruffles.Copy !req
382. Listen to me.Copy !req
383. - We can't go Friday night.
- That's okay.Copy !req
384. Why not?Copy !req
385. - You've been getting death threats.
- From?Copy !req
386. Because of you?Copy !req
387. Because of me and you, yeah.
There's some sort of meeting.Copy !req
388. The Secret Service
doesn't think that...Copy !req
389. We tried to secure it. Too many dark
corners, alleys, windows, a cellar.Copy !req
390. - We can't secure the street.
- I don't give a damn.Copy !req
391. I don't give a damn. I bought
a new suit. In fact, I bought two now.Copy !req
392. We can't go.Copy !req
393. Hey, look.
It says here, 100 years ago...Copy !req
394. a black guy couldn't go out with
a white girl for fear he'd be killed.Copy !req
395. I have to go to the ladies' room.Copy !req
396. Bookbag's up.Copy !req
397. You know, if nothing else...Copy !req
398. if one of us is gonna be pissed,
it ought to be me.Copy !req
399. I'm the girl whose job is
to jump in front of the bullet.Copy !req
400. I like it when she stays home
and watches videos.Copy !req
401. I gotta go. Tell her I had to go.Copy !req
402. - Tell her yourself.
- I'm back at the office.Copy !req
403. - Is Lilli in?
- You can go on in.Copy !req
404. - Hello, Sam.
- Mrs. Bartlet.Copy !req
405. Lilli tells me we have a problem.Copy !req
406. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
407. It's the tactics, Sam.
The strategizing.Copy !req
408. I don't understand.
We used to be close.Copy !req
409. Now I have a large
and energetic staff...Copy !req
410. whose main function
is waging war with your staff.Copy !req
411. - Is that accurate?
- No, ma'am, I don't think it is.Copy !req
412. - We're professional.
- I don't think you are.Copy !req
413. Beg your pardon?Copy !req
414. I like Lilli Mays. She's topnotch.
It was hard for us to give her up.Copy !req
415. But I believe that you're prone
to amateur mistakes.Copy !req
416. So my staff is professional,
just not me.Copy !req
417. You can't go on national TV
and have a kid next to you on a whim.Copy !req
418. - You gotta vet this stuff.
- What was the problem?Copy !req
419. It looked like you discovered child
labor because Jeffrey told you.Copy !req
420. I don't believe that.Copy !req
421. I don't believe
exercise makes me healthier.Copy !req
422. But you went to med school.
You say so, then I go to the gym.Copy !req
423. Talk to Reeseman and tell her
not to offer that amendment.Copy !req
424. - I will.
- Excuse me?Copy !req
425. I said I will.Copy !req
426. Is there anything else?Copy !req
427. - No, ma'am.
- Okay.Copy !req
428. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
429. - How you doing, Mrs. Landingham?
- Fine.Copy !req
430. You're glancing over
like I'll steal something.Copy !req
431. I'm not used to having
the media here.Copy !req
432. - I'll try not to get ink on the chair.
- I was about to offer you a cookie.Copy !req
433. - And now?
- No.Copy !req
434. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Good evening.Copy !req
435. - Good evening.
- Are you covering the event?Copy !req
436. - The many women of Michigan?
- The Michigan Women's Caucus?Copy !req
437. No, I'm here to see the president.Copy !req
438. - Really?
- Yes.Copy !req
439. - So, what's up?
- Not too much.Copy !req
440. - You're going to the opening?
- No. Security.Copy !req
441. Is Zoey bummed?Copy !req
442. I say it here
and millions read it tomorrow.Copy !req
443. Thanks for the circulation boost.
I'm off the record.Copy !req
444. - It's not gonna work.
- You and Zoey? Why?Copy !req
445. If it's a problem for the Secret
Service I'm black, that's how it is.Copy !req
446. But she shouldn't expect flowers.Copy !req
447. It's not that you're black.
It's that you're stupid.Copy !req
448. - Thanks, Danny.
- You bet.Copy !req
449. The Hardy Boys in these letters...Copy !req
450. may be armed, but I wouldn't
bet on their marksmanship.Copy !req
451. Marriage proposals, death threats,
a dozen bodyguards.Copy !req
452. Everyone wants to get close.
Everyone wants a thing.Copy !req
453. And I say this standing
by the Oval Office...Copy !req
454. life with Father
couldn't have been a picnic.Copy !req
455. If it was me, just for now...Copy !req
456. I'd make sure I was the one guy
in her life who's hassle-free.Copy !req
457. That's just me.Copy !req
458. Yes, sir.Copy !req
459. Please.Copy !req
460. - Hey, Danny.
- Good evening, Leo.Copy !req
461. I'd like to say I urged the president
not to have this conversation.Copy !req
462. - I'm just sitting here.
- We'll note your lack of conviction.Copy !req
463. Note it well, sir.Copy !req
464. - I miss our late-night talks.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
465. Out there on the campaign trail.Copy !req
466. Ames, Iowa, Tulsa, Skokie,
Center City, Tallahassee...Copy !req
467. Albany, San Antonio,
Jasper, Wyoming.Copy !req
468. Yes, sir.Copy !req
469. - We got very close.
- I'm flattered, sir.Copy !req
470. - You cover the first lady as well.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
471. You literally wrote the book
on my wife.Copy !req
472. I want to emphasize
the strong personal bond we built...Copy !req
473. For God's sake.Copy !req
474. Did you call me in to ask
who the sources were?Copy !req
475. I was going to
in a proper, gentlemanly...Copy !req
476. - Even Byzantine.
- ... way.Copy !req
477. Save me from having
this conversation with my wife...Copy !req
478. or let me be armed when I do.Copy !req
479. I'm sorry. I'd be revealing a source.
I'd be in trouble with the first lady.Copy !req
480. Welcome to the club.
We had some jackets made.Copy !req
481. Let him go.Copy !req
482. Albany, Tulsa, Wichita.Copy !req
483. I'm not getting
a personal bond here.Copy !req
484. If it makes you feel better,
I gave sage dating advice to Charlie.Copy !req
485. You're coaching my aide on
how to score with my daughter?Copy !req
486. - Yes, that makes me feel better.
- Anything I can do to help.Copy !req
487. - Go away.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
488. Thanks, Danny.Copy !req
489. - It's interesting.
- The 100 years ago thing?Copy !req
490. Authorities warned that seamstresses
might be aroused by the pedal rhythm.Copy !req
491. They recommended bromide
to diminish sexual desire.Copy !req
492. Why would anyone diminish
a woman's sexual desire?Copy !req
493. We can get out of hand.Copy !req
494. Here we go.Copy !req
495. - Excuse me.
- Good evening.Copy !req
496. May I have a word
with the congresswoman?Copy !req
497. I'll find you in a minute.Copy !req
498. That's a beautiful suit.Copy !req
499. Becky, did you decide to run
for the Senate and not tell me?Copy !req
500. Because Jed and I would be there
with anything you need.Copy !req
501. - I know the amendment is a surprise...
- Your amendment is a poison pill...Copy !req
502. that will kill the GFTMAA
in the following way.Copy !req
503. The Republican leaders won't let
their guys wear black hats.Copy !req
504. They'll be released from a party-line
vote. This won't shock Democrats...Copy !req
505. as they've seen it before.Copy !req
506. It'll pass there because it'll never
pass the Senate, and you know it.Copy !req
507. - It felt like the train was leaving.
- When the train leaves, you'll know.Copy !req
508. - There's a seat open.
- The president will help.Copy !req
509. - I've heard that before.
- This isn't Steve's boat. Don't barter.Copy !req
510. I put this amendment back in,
I'll have problems.Copy !req
511. - How many people know?
- You, Steve, my staff.Copy !req
512. - The president's staff.
- You're fine.Copy !req
513. - Am I supposed to trust his staff?
- Yes.Copy !req
514. Are we done?Copy !req
515. Yes.Copy !req
516. Thank you.Copy !req
517. - The rhythm of the pedals?
- That's what it says.Copy !req
518. Marijuana, heroin, morphine
were available over the counter.Copy !req
519. According to one pharmacist,
"Heroin clears the complexion...Copy !req
520. gives buoyancy to the mind,
regulates the bowels...Copy !req
521. and is a perfect guardian
of health. "Copy !req
522. Now they tell me.Copy !req
523. Mr. President?Copy !req
524. - I'm out of here.
- Stay. Chicken.Copy !req
525. - Hello, pumpkin.
- Abbey.Copy !req
526. - Hello, gumdrop.
- Listen...Copy !req
527. Sam Seaborn came to see
my chief of staff today. Twice.Copy !req
528. Your chief of staff is an attractive
woman. Maybe he was, you know...Copy !req
529. - I told C.J. specifically.
- Then C.J. got the signal wrong.Copy !req
530. No, she didn't.Copy !req
531. What?Copy !req
532. She didn't get it wrong.
I wanted her to send someone.Copy !req
533. This wire thing is a problem.
The kid on TV was a mistake.Copy !req
534. Reeseman's amendment will bring down
a bill that was worked on for years.Copy !req
535. - I said I just killed it.
- Fine.Copy !req
536. We share a bed.
Why didn't you come to me?Copy !req
537. I staffed it out to C.J.Copy !req
538. - You staffed it out?
- That's right.Copy !req
539. You don't staff me out.Copy !req
540. Don't give C.J. signals, don't send
Sam and don't bring Concanon here.Copy !req
541. - Don't handle me, Jed!
- Then don't play me! Don't work me.Copy !req
542. People think Lilli Mays planted that
you have a preference for Ron Erlich.Copy !req
543. - It wasn't Lilli Mays.
- I know. It was you.Copy !req
544. Sorry, but I wanted Ron
to know he had my support.Copy !req
545. You put me in a spot. I name
Erlich now, which I was gonna do...Copy !req
546. and it looks like
I'm taking instructions from you!Copy !req
547. - It was wrong!
- You talking about you or me?Copy !req
548. I'm talking about you
sending people for me.Copy !req
549. I'm talking about you waiting a day
to name a new Fed chair...Copy !req
550. because 30 years ago
I dated Erlich for six months.Copy !req
551. I am talking about sending messages
and setting agendas on morning shows.Copy !req
552. We won't be these people.
I won't do it.Copy !req
553. I'll walk up to the Hill right now
and give my resignation!Copy !req
554. - The House isn't in session.
- I'll put it in session!Copy !req
555. Don't yell at me.Copy !req
556. It was nine months,
and I waited a day on Skippy...Copy !req
557. because the Fed chair is important
and I wanted my decision to be right.Copy !req
558. You made a decision. "I name
Erlich now, which I was gonna do...Copy !req
559. and it looks like I'm taking
instructions from my wife. "Copy !req
560. So just ease up on the high ground.Copy !req
561. On that point,
I concede the high ground.Copy !req
562. I concede I was wrong about the thing.Copy !req
563. - Good.
- However...Copy !req
564. No "however. " Just be wrong.
Stand there being wrong.Copy !req
565. - However...
- Nine months.Copy !req
566. However, I'll still kick your ass
on child labor.Copy !req
567. - Abbey, please.
- Jed.Copy !req
568. If it was one of our girls in that
factory, you'd send in the Marines.Copy !req
569. We just had
our first Oval Office fight.Copy !req
570. Talk to Zoey today?Copy !req
571. She went back to her dorm.
She and Charlie had a fight...Copy !req
572. because the Service doesn't want
them at this thing together.Copy !req
573. Maybe she'll be so traumatized
she'll never date another boy again.Copy !req
574. He left here a little while ago.
I'd say in about an hour...Copy !req
575. there'll be a sock
on the doorknob...Copy !req
576. Don't finish that sentence.
I'm a man of questionable health.Copy !req
577. Michigan women are waiting for me.Copy !req
578. I came to apologize.Copy !req
579. - You left me sitting there.
- I feel bad about that.Copy !req
580. Are there other things you feel
bad about too? Name them, please.Copy !req
581. Off the top of my head,
I don't have a full list.Copy !req
582. But anything that's upset you...Copy !req
583. even if it only exists in your
confused mind, I really apologize for.Copy !req
584. What'd you bring me?Copy !req
585. - Flowers.
- I see that. What else?Copy !req
586. - A book.
- Introduction to Trigonometry.Copy !req
587. - Your father made me get it.
- What else?Copy !req
588. - Popcorn.
- Why the popcorn?Copy !req
589. Because I brought videos.Copy !req
590. Get in here.Copy !req
591. Bookbag is in for the night.Copy !req
