105. Your father? He's trying to drive
a wedge between us.Copy !req
106. It worked.Copy !req

108. We had something. You haven't

- I'm a public school teacher.Copy !req
111. The other guys say, "Before we go... "Copy !req

113. Toby and I put a guy on the bench.
I've earned my salary and then some.Copy !req
114. I'm done.
Our date's supposed to be tonight.Copy !req
115. We're gonna watch C.J. do "The Jackal,"
which is like Shakespeare.Copy !req
116. We're gonna watch C.J.,
then get a late dinner...Copy !req
117. after which I may kiss you.Copy !req
118. You're not doing a good job
on your part.Copy !req
119. - I'm taking over.

120. - Let's go.
- Not much chance.Copy !req
121. - Give me credit for trying.

124. Speed bump with Breckenridge.
Leo gave it to me.Copy !req
125. He thinks you're
burned out on Mendoza.Copy !req

- Sure.Copy !req
128. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
129. Mallory read my position paper
on vouchers.Copy !req
130. Really? How do you suppose
she got ahold of that?Copy !req
131. You gave it to her.Copy !req
132. Vouchers are a serious
subject with her.Copy !req
133. - Thanks.

134. But don't expect me not to have fun.Copy !req
135. Mallory and I haven't
actually been on a date yet.Copy !req
136. You hang in there, son.Copy !req
137. - "The Jackal"?
- What are you doing here?Copy !req
138. - I missed "The Jackal"?
- I was on fire.Copy !req
139. - That's gotta feel good.
- It does.Copy !req
140. I'm home listening
to my police scanner...Copy !req
141. - You have a scanner?
- I do.Copy !req
142. You were president of your
school audio-visual club.Copy !req
143. Bobby Pfeifer was president.
I don't like to talk about it.Copy !req
144. - Why'd you come?

145. - You should've gotten here earlier.
- I was listening.Copy !req
146. David Arbor was arrested at a party.
He'll be charged with possession.Copy !req
147. - The son of Bob Arbor?
- Plus one other thing.Copy !req
148. - There's one other thing? What?
- Zoey was at the frat party.Copy !req
149. At least I know what I'll
be doing tomorrow.Copy !req
150. Remember I came at 1
to tell you this...Copy !req
151. and also that you're
secretly in love with me.Copy !req
152. Make sure you remind my office.Copy !req
153. You could do "The Jackal"
for me right now.Copy !req
154. - Go home.
- Okay.Copy !req
155. - Say, "I'm not sure the president knows. "
- "I'm not sure he knows. "Copy !req
156. - It's a non-story. Say it.
- "I'm not sure he knows. "Copy !req
157. The father's a major fundraiser.Copy !req
158. I'm sure the president
will offer him his best support.Copy !req
159. There was a drug bust.Copy !req
160. - Zoey left before that.
- Any reaction?Copy !req
161. - I'm not sure he knows.
- There.Copy !req
162. - C.J.
- It's a non-story.Copy !req
163. Let's keep it that way.Copy !req
164. - Hey.
- Did you get my message?Copy !req
165. You wanted to talk about banana bars?Copy !req
166. - Panda bears.

168. You've gotten 3000 letters
in 10 days wanting to know...Copy !req

172. - Why are you talking to me?
- 3000 letters.Copy !req

- Who should I talk to?Copy !req
174. About getting a new panda bear
to replace Lum-Lum?Copy !req
175. Toby. You should be talking to Toby.Copy !req
176. - This is most of it.
- Thanks.Copy !req
177. - Toby?
- Yeah, Toby can help you out.Copy !req
178. What's this?Copy !req
179. I have to tell a black lawyer
why I don't owe him any money.Copy !req
180. - Good luck.
- Thanks.Copy !req
181. - Out in front of the entrance.
- How many?Copy !req
182. - About a dozen.
- Have someone bring the car around.Copy !req
183. - What time is it?
- 12:30.Copy !req
184. I have to go.
Are we doing French at Kelly's?Copy !req
185. - Yeah.
- Zoey, we're going out back.Copy !req
186. - What's out front?
- Reporter.Copy !req
187. - They're not supposed to.
- Security's on its way.Copy !req
188. - What is up with Marjorie's hair?
- I didn't wanna say anything.Copy !req
189. Gina, we go to sleep
listening to French tapes.Copy !req
190. - I remember them.
- Ready?Copy !req
191. I'm Special Agent Gina Toscano.
Your name?Copy !req
192. Edgar Drumm. I have a question.Copy !req
193. She doesn't answer questions.
Take her to the car.Copy !req
194. So the president's daughter
is partying with drug dealers?Copy !req
195. - David isn't a dealer.
- Why'd you go?Copy !req
196. I was invited.
I didn't know David was there.Copy !req
197. - I want you in the car now.
- You're a real jackass.Copy !req
198. Don't do that again.Copy !req
199. If this is how the Secret Service
behaves, it's a sad state of affairs.Copy !req
200. We'll have to learn to live
with your disappointment.Copy !req
201. This draft is done.Copy !req
202. "On schedule" is my middle name
from now on.Copy !req
203. - I'm having it changed.

3:00 the East Asia team...Copy !req
206. 4:00 Medicare, 4:30 the president,
6:00 the advance team.Copy !req
207. The noon meeting,
let's see if we can cancel it.Copy !req
208. - Why?
- I don't wanna go.Copy !req
209. - That's not enough.
- I really don't wanna go.Copy !req
210. You're going.
And you've got Mallory at 11.Copy !req
211. - What?
- You've got Mallory right now.Copy !req
212. - What do you mean?
- Your appointment with Mallory.Copy !req
213. I decided to see you
during business hours.Copy !req
214. - You aren't in school?
- Not today.Copy !req
215. I didn't wanna take advantage
of us dating.Copy !req
216. - We're not. You made an appointment.
- All nice.Copy !req
217. Isn't that adorable? Come in.Copy !req
218. - Is he here? Send him in.
- Mr. Breckenridge?Copy !req
219. - Thank you.
- Jeff, Josh Lyman.Copy !req
220. - Jeff Breckenridge.
- Have a chair.Copy !req
221. - Can Donna get you anything?
- No, I'm fine.Copy !req
222. You were at Debevoise & Plimpton
when my father was a partner.Copy !req
223. Your father was a partner?
Your father's Noah Lyman?Copy !req
224. - Yeah.
- He's a wonderful man. How is he?Copy !req
225. - He died.
- I'm sorry. When?Copy !req
226. - The night of the Illinois primary.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
227. Thanks. I got this handed to me.
I'm not as up to...Copy !req
228. A couple of Republicans
have a problem with me.Copy !req
229. - Stadler.
- Also probably Wachtel and Tillison.Copy !req
230. Any specific problem?
They don't like me?Copy !req
231. No, there's a book coming out
by Otis Hastings, The Unpaid Debt.Copy !req
232. His position is, African-Americans
are owed reparations for slavery.Copy !req
233. - Yes.
- You're quoted on the back jacket.Copy !req
234. You wrote, "Otis Hastings
is a unique historian.Copy !req
235. This book should be burned
into the minds of white America. "Copy !req
236. - Yes.
- You weren't misquoted, right?Copy !req
237. If asked, you'll say you're
in favor of reparations.Copy !req
238. I'll tell them my father's fathers
were kidnapped outside Wimbabwa...Copy !req
239. and bought by a plantation owner...Copy !req
240. in South Carolina,
where they worked for no wages.Copy !req
241. - And you're looking for back pay.
- Yes.Copy !req
242. Did you have a figure in mind?Copy !req
243. Dr. Harold Washington, economist
at the Manchester Institute...Copy !req
244. calculated the number of slaves,
multiplied it by the hours worked...Copy !req
245. multiplied that by the market value
of labor and came up with a figure.Copy !req
246. - What is it?
- $1.7 trillion.Copy !req
247. This is probably a better discussion
to have in the abstract.Copy !req
248. - No.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
249. I mean someone owes me
and my friends $1.7 trillion.Copy !req
250. - Charlie's here.
- Yes, indeed. Charlie. Chaz.Copy !req
251. - I hear you burned down the place.
- What's up?Copy !req
252. Zoey had a run-in
with a reporter named Drumm.Copy !req
253. - Writes for The Charleston Citizen.
- He's a Bartlet baiter.Copy !req
254. It's a newsletter for the radical
right. What did he ask her?Copy !req
255. Why she parties with drug dealers.Copy !req
256. - Did she talk to him?
- Gina put her in the car.Copy !req
257. David Arbor's a good friend.
He's not a dealer.Copy !req
258. - Can you nip that in the bud?
- I can talk to a few people.Copy !req
259. He only takes drugs.
Zoey is trying to help.Copy !req
260. Zoey was bringing his car keys
she confiscated.Copy !req
261. - Carol!
- Guy drives a Porsche.Copy !req
262. I'm coming. I drove my boyfriend's
Porsche. Backed it into a pond.Copy !req
263. - Lost your privileges?
- And boyfriend.Copy !req
264. - It's a good car, though.
- Yeah.Copy !req
265. - Hey, Toby.
- Hey there, Margaret.Copy !req
266. - Are you okay?
- Why wouldn't I be?Copy !req
267. You don't usually say, "Hey there. "Copy !req
268. - What do I say?
- You growl something inaudible.Copy !req
269. Not today. You should turn
that frown upside down.Copy !req
270. Let a smile be your umbrella.Copy !req
271. Now you're scaring
the crap out of me, Toby.Copy !req
272. Hey, Bobby. Hi, Janet.Copy !req
273. Tax dollars shouldn't go to shipping
students to private schools.Copy !req
274. How are you getting around separation
of church and state on that?Copy !req
275. We have people who
are experts on that.Copy !req
276. - I've noticed.
- Anything else?Copy !req
277. - Oh, yes.
- We've been here for an hour.Copy !req
278. Vouchers provide help
for only a few students.Copy !req
279. We offer a solution.Copy !req
280. You offer a lifeboat to the few
for whom vouchers make a difference.Copy !req
281. That makes sense. I just think
if you can save even one kid...Copy !req
282. - You can save more than one kid.
- How?Copy !req
283. By asking Congress to approve a lot
more money for public education.Copy !req
284. What?Copy !req
285. Public education has been
a public policy disaster for 40 years.Copy !req
286. Having spent $4 trillion
on public schools since 1965...Copy !req
287. the result has been a steady
decline of student performance.Copy !req
288. But don't worry, the House is on
the case. I feel better already!Copy !req
289. - Wow.
- What?Copy !req
290. For a guy who's trying to date me,
that was pretty snotty.Copy !req
291. Hang on. These are office hours.Copy !req
292. I would've had
a whole different attitude.Copy !req
293. - Thank God.
- That Hill meeting?Copy !req
294. I'd love to keep talking,
but I have this meeting.Copy !req
295. - I canceled it.
- Why?Copy !req
296. You asked me to.Copy !req
297. Yes, I did.Copy !req
298. I'll get back to you.Copy !req
299. Danny? You hear anything about
Edgar Drumm talking to Zoey?Copy !req
300. You never tell me
you like my suspenders.Copy !req
301. - Drumm.
- He asked her about drug dealers.Copy !req
302. That's what I heard.Copy !req
303. She said she didn't know
Arbor was there.Copy !req
304. - What?
- It's Edgar Drumm.Copy !req
305. - Danny.
- It's Edgar Drumm. No one...Copy !req
306. - Yeah.
- What?Copy !req
307. - Nothing.
- What?Copy !req
308. Nothing. Those really are
nice suspenders.Copy !req
309. - Special Field Order Number 15.
- What?Copy !req
310. Slavery reparations aren't
anything new. January 16, 1865.Copy !req
311. General Sherman issued
Field Order Number 15.Copy !req
312. A half million acres
from South Carolina to Florida...Copy !req
313. were divided up
and given to freed slaves.Copy !req
314. He also granted them the use
of various Army supplies...Copy !req
315. Mules. 40 acres and a mule.Copy !req
316. Yes, but the order was rescinded
four years later by Johnson.Copy !req
317. During the Newark riots, you could
hear the looters shouting:Copy !req
318. "That was my 40 acres.
I'll be back for the mule! "Copy !req
319. - Catchy.
- If you guys had paid up on time.Copy !req
320. A lesson well learned.
Let's talk about your confirmation.Copy !req
321. Absolutely.Copy !req
322. And while we're on the subject
of the Civil War...Copy !req
323. let's remember the 600,000 whites
who died over the issue of slavery.Copy !req
324. - Is that why they died?
- It's why a lot of them died.Copy !req
325. There's no other place in history...Copy !req
326. where an event like that
has occurred.Copy !req
327. So let's leave it at that
and move on, okay?Copy !req
328. - Except to say this:
- What?Copy !req
329. - Nothing.
- What?Copy !req
330. Let's move on.Copy !req
331. You got two seconds?Copy !req
332. For you I have
all the time in the world.Copy !req
333. - What?
- His day of jubilee.Copy !req
334. - He never sustains a good mood.
- You are dedicated.Copy !req
335. And you are other nice things.Copy !req
336. - Can I see you inside?
- You bet.Copy !req
337. I feel like I've lost 180 pounds.Copy !req
338. I'm smiling, I'm laughing.Copy !req
339. I am enjoying the people I work with.
I gotta snap out of this.Copy !req
340. What's on your mind?Copy !req
341. Help me get the Chinese to give us
a new panda bear to replace Lum-Lum.Copy !req
342. That did the trick.Copy !req
343. - Hey!
- Hey, what's up?Copy !req
344. C.J. wants to see me.Copy !req
345. I talked to her.
She said she'll talk to Danny.Copy !req
346. - You could've kissed me.
- In the dorm.Copy !req
347. - Chicken.
- When I kiss you...Copy !req
348. I wanna be three miles away
from the Oval Office.Copy !req
349. Stacy says you're afraid
to show affection.Copy !req
350. Tell Stacy to meet me
at Union Station.Copy !req
351. Does C.J. have a problem? I wonder
what she wants to see me about.Copy !req
352. I'm not afraid

357. You heard I talked to a guy.
I know I'm supposed to just walk away.Copy !req
358. - He pushed your buttons.
- David isn't a drug dealer.Copy !req
359. Did you tell him you didn't know
David was gonna be at the party?Copy !req
360. I need to know why you lied to him.Copy !req

375. Right. What else?Copy !req
376. Two death threats were received
against Zoey and Charlie.Copy !req
377. They were made with letters cut

a private high school and college.Copy !req
408. Your point?Copy !req
409. Liberals have no problem with
rich kids going to private schools.Copy !req
410. No problem with middle-class kids
going to parochial schools.Copy !req
411. But letting poor public school
students choose alternatives...Copy !req
412. would destroy
public education?Copy !req
413. Boston Latin is still
the best secondary school here.Copy !req
414. But they're not all Boston Latin.Copy !req
415. Since when are liberals the other guys

doesn't get involved.Copy !req
421. - When he hears...
- You have to sit on him.Copy !req
422. - I'm not gonna be able to.
- You can't back down. Get in his face.Copy !req
423. Get in the president's face?
That's your advice? Okay.Copy !req
424. Does anyone else
have any advice that could...?Copy !req
425. It's your job.
It's what he needs you to do.Copy !req
426. - Can I ask you something?
- Sure.Copy !req
427. I'd like to see Mallory socially,
but I can't get her past this fight.Copy !req
428. Tell her you wanna
continue over lunch.Copy !req
429. That's very good advice.Copy !req
430. Certainly better than
"get in his face. "Copy !req
431. - I'm going back.
- I'll check the want ads.Copy !req
432. Good luck!Copy !req
433. - A panda bear to replace dim sum.
- Lum-Lum.Copy !req
434. - Do you mean Hsing-Hsing?
- That was his name.Copy !req
435. He was given to us as a gift from
the Chinese when Nixon...Copy !req
436. - I know.
- Then Hsing-Hsing got lonely.Copy !req
437. The Chinese sent a mate.
I think its name was Ping.Copy !req
438. - Ling.
- Ling.Copy !req
439. - Maybe Ping.
- Whatever.Copy !req
440. Ping or Ling dies,
Hsing-Hsing mourns...Copy !req
441. and for Hsing-Hsing
it seemed unendurable.Copy !req
442. I know exactly how he felt.Copy !req
443. Hsing-Hsing succumbed to liver disease
and passed away earlier this year.Copy !req
444. As a symbol to signal
how serious we are...Copy !req
445. about our relationship with China,
we might ask them for another bear.Copy !req
446. I think as a symbol
of China's seriousness...Copy !req
447. they could stop running over
their citizens with tanks.Copy !req
448. Have them send a bear!
What's the problem?Copy !req
449. Pandas are very rare. There are maybe
a thousand, and only in China.Copy !req
450. - We only need one.
- Two!Copy !req
451. - It'll get lonely.
- Have them send two.Copy !req
452. China's not inclined to give us gifts.Copy !req
453. Get us two regular bears,
black paint, white paint.Copy !req
454. The wildlife lobby
was nervous about you?Copy !req
455. I know, I'm Mr. Wildlife. Mandy!Copy !req
456. - What made you think I'm interested?
- Josh said you were my man.Copy !req
457. - Josh said I was your man?
- Yes.Copy !req
458. - I'm impressed how much you've grown.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
459. There was a time if you got played
by Josh, you'd wanna get back at him.Copy !req
460. - "Played"?
- He used you to have fun with me.Copy !req
461. - He's gotta deal with Breckenridge.
- He played me?Copy !req
462. But it's good to see you
get past that. Played like a $2 banjo.Copy !req
463. - Help me.
- Do what?Copy !req
464. Cause Josh pain.Copy !req
465. Okay.Copy !req
466. - Hey, Dad.
- Yeah. Hold on, please.Copy !req
467. Sam asked me to lunch.
I need your permission.Copy !req
468. - What do you need my permission for?
- Sam?Copy !req
469. She always asks permission
before she has lunch with fascists.Copy !req
470. - He's in favor of school vouchers.
- He's not.Copy !req
471. - Yes, he is.
- No.Copy !req
472. - I read the paper.
- It's opposition prep.Copy !req
473. Opposition prep?Copy !req
474. Before a debate, the smart guys
take the other side.Copy !req
475. You argued with me. Why?Copy !req
476. - You made an appointment.
- Take it outside.Copy !req
477. - You drove a wedge between us.
- Now you're boring me.Copy !req
478. Education is the silver bullet.
Education is everything.Copy !req
479. We need gigantic, monumental changes.
Schools should be palaces.Copy !req
480. The competition for the best teachers
should be fierce.Copy !req
481. Schools should be free
to its citizens...Copy !req
482. like national defense.
That's my position.Copy !req
483. I just haven't figured out
how to do it yet.Copy !req
484. You stood there
and argued with me.Copy !req
485. We can continue.
We're gonna have lunch?Copy !req
486. - You're taking over?
- I'm taking over.Copy !req
487. - You may go have lunch with a fascist.
- Come along, Sam.Copy !req
488. - You're doing fine.
- Okay.Copy !req
489. Mr. President. Your lunch
with Mr. Girardi got canceled.Copy !req
490. It's the first time anyone's
canceled since I took office.Copy !req
491. Mr. Girardi was taken
to the hospital with pneumonia.Copy !req
492. - He did have a good excuse.
- What are you reading?Copy !req
493. Rules of Civility and Decent
Behaviour by George Washington.Copy !req
494. The Washington?Copy !req
495. The rules were drawn
from an English translation.Copy !req
496. Washington copied them down
when he was 14.Copy !req
497. "Sitting down, keep your feet firm and
even without putting one on the other.Copy !req
498. Put not off your clothes
in the presence of others. "Copy !req
499. What a tight-ass little priss
he must've been.Copy !req
500. Yes, sir.Copy !req
501. Do you think I could
take Washington?Copy !req
502. - Take him at what, sir?
- I don't know. A war.Copy !req
503. Could you have taken
Washington in a war?Copy !req
504. You'd have the Air Force,
and he'd have the minutemen?Copy !req
505. - Minutemen were good.
- I think you'd probably take him.Copy !req
506. - C.J.'s here.
- You can send her in.Copy !req
507. - C.J.!
- Mr. President.Copy !req
508. "Put not your hands to any part
of the body not usually covered. "Copy !req

"Should you party with dealers?"Copy !req
515. She said she didn't know
David Arbor was there. She did.Copy !req
516. Why did she lie?Copy !req
517. - She didn't have to.
- Then why?Copy !req
518. - Sometimes girls lie.
- She never has to.Copy !req
519. - She knows.

520. Give her a break.
This thing's happened to her friend.Copy !req
521. Edgar Drumm's shouting at her.
She choked.Copy !req
522. A reporter talked to her on campus?Copy !req
523. Put the press in the briefing room.
Tell them I'm coming over.Copy !req
524. - No, sir.
- We have been over this!Copy !req
525. They are not to talk to her.Copy !req
526. - It was Edgar Drumm.
- I don't give a damn.Copy !req
527. - I'll talk to the press.
- You can't.Copy !req
528. This is about the first daughter.
You're not going down there.Copy !req
529. Only you, me, Charlie and Zoey
know she was lying.Copy !req
530. It stays that way.
It's a non-story!Copy !req
531. You go down there,
and it's a big story!Copy !req
532. I just sit in my office and fume?Copy !req
533. Yes. If anybody asks, you haven't
heard anything about it.Copy !req
534. - Fine.
- Mr. President.Copy !req
535. Did you know he jumped out at Zoey?Copy !req
536. Excellent.
I haven't heard anything.Copy !req

my grandfather his wallet back.Copy !req

554. What the hell are we talking about?Copy !req
555. We have laws in this country.Copy !req
556. You break them, you pay your fine.Copy !req
557. You break God's laws,
that's a different story.Copy !req
558. You can't sell a civilization into
slavery. No money makes up for it.Copy !req
559. All you have to do is look 200 years
later at race relations.Copy !req
560. - Yes.
- No amount will make up for it.Copy !req
561. You got a dollar?Copy !req
562. - Yeah.
- Take it out. Look at the back.Copy !req
563. The seal, the pyramid,
it's unfinished.Copy !req
564. With the eye of God looking
over it and the words:Copy !req
565. "He, God, favors our undertaking. "Copy !req
566. The seal is meant to be unfinished
because this country is.Copy !req
567. We're meant to keep doing better,
to keep debating.Copy !req
568. We're meant to read books
by great scholars...Copy !req
569. and talk about them, which is
why I lent my name to a dust cover.Copy !req
570. I wanna be your assistant attorney
general for civil rights.Copy !req
571. I'll do an outstanding job. You got
any problem with me saying that?Copy !req
572. - No.
- Good.Copy !req
