1. Previously, on The West Wing:
Copy !req
2. You never want people to see
how you make laws or sausages.
Copy !req
3. - I'm voting no.
- It's all we could get now.
Copy !req
4. You didn't work hard enough.
Copy !req
5. You have to let me protect you
and the president.
Copy !req
6. The president doesn't hold grudges.
He pays me to.
Copy !req
7. There's no one in the world
I don't hate.
Copy !req
8. Your mom was killed
with a.38 revolver.
Copy !req
9. We haven't had success yet
having those weapons banned.
Copy !req
10. - You want to help us?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
11. Oh, man, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
12. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
13. - That's how you do it.
- Game point.
Copy !req
14. - You look winded.
- I'm fine.
Copy !req
15. - You want to sit out?
- Why would I do that?
Copy !req
16. People will be mad if we kill you.
Copy !req
17. - Game point, let's go.
- Sir...
Copy !req
18. - I'm playing.
- There's no shame in quitting.
Copy !req
19. Just admit I'm a better athlete
and slink away.
Copy !req
20. - Take it out.
- You're playing?
Copy !req
21. - Take the ball out!
- This is a perfect metaphor.
Copy !req
22. After you're gone, and poets
write "The Legend of Josiah Bartlet"...
Copy !req
23. let them make you a tragic figure.
Copy !req
24. "He had the tools for greatness...
Copy !req
25. but his better angels were silenced
by his obsessive need to win. "
Copy !req
26. - You wanna play or write my eulogy?
- Honestly?
Copy !req
27. Mr. Grant?
Copy !req
28. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Copy !req
29. - Who's this?
- I'm making a substitution.
Copy !req
30. - Grant's a new member of my team.
- A ringer.
Copy !req
31. Mr. Grant is a federal employee.
Copy !req
32. It's not that you cheat,
it's how bad you are at it.
Copy !req
33. - I beg your pardon.
- Toby's got a point.
Copy !req
34. When did I cheat?
Copy !req
35. You told us your tennis partner
worked at the American Consulate.
Copy !req
36. - She did!
- It was Steffi Graf!
Copy !req
37. I admit that she bore a resemblance...
Copy !req
38. You think I won't recognize
Steffi Graf when she's serving at me?
Copy !req
39. She's won championships,
we've seen her photograph.
Copy !req
40. Be that as it may,
Toby, Josh, Charlie...
Copy !req
41. let me introduce
Mr. Rodney Grant...
Copy !req
42. Whoa, not so fast.
Copy !req
43. Your name sounds familiar.
Copy !req
44. Before you joined up the
Council on Physical Fitness...
Copy !req
45. which the president would do well
to avail himself of...
Copy !req
46. is it possible you played
organized ball?
Copy !req
47. I used to play a little.
Copy !req
48. - And where was that?
- I'm sorry?
Copy !req
49. - Where would that be?
- Duke.
Copy !req
50. - This guy was in the Final Four!
- Game point, let's go!
Copy !req
51. I'm taking you to the hole.
Copy !req
52. You got it!
Copy !req
53. Let the poets write about
that, Byron.
Copy !req
54. Charlie, guard the new guy.
Copy !req
55. - We have a staff meeting.
- I'm going.
Copy !req
56. - I'm just telling you.
- You see that's where I'm going.
Copy !req
57. - Isn't it adorable?
- That you seek to control me? Love it.
Copy !req
58. - Donald hasn't called.
- Who?
Copy !req
59. Donald.
From the thing.
Copy !req
60. Can we be clear about my interest...
Copy !req
61. in the local Gomers that you see...
Copy !req
62. in the free time you create
by not working?
Copy !req
63. - Excuse me?
- You work very hard.
Copy !req
64. - And I am?
- Not controlling.
Copy !req
65. - You have a meeting.
- Okay.
Copy !req
66. - There's another thing.
- What?
Copy !req
67. Hang on, here it is.
Copy !req
68. Leo wants you to meet Lacey
from the NSC in his office.
Copy !req
69. - Thanks.
- What is it?
Copy !req
70. This is the White House,
so it's probably not important.
Copy !req
71. I want you to read this article.
Copy !req
72. - What's it about?
- Smallpox.
Copy !req
73. - The disease?
- No, the dessert. Yes, the disease!
Copy !req
74. - We do it every month.
- We missed a few.
Copy !req
75. We try to do it
the first of every month.
Copy !req
76. Twice in 12 months.
Copy !req
77. - We're behind.
- Behind on what?
Copy !req
78. It's People Who Want
to Discuss Things...
Copy !req
79. That We Could Care
Less About Day.
Copy !req
80. That sounds goofy.
Copy !req
81. It's not so bad. Talk to them,
give them a souvenir pen...
Copy !req
82. - This isn't a waste of time?
- Yes, but it's one of Leo's policies.
Copy !req
83. - Why?
- Sadly, you're about to find out.
Copy !req
84. Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer,
had a big block of cheese.
Copy !req
85. I am making a mental list
of those who are snickering.
Copy !req
86. Even as I speak,
I'm preparing appropriate retribution.
Copy !req
87. The block of cheese was huge,
over 2 tons.
Copy !req
88. It was there
for anyone who might be hungry.
Copy !req
89. Let's spend our time plotting against
a country that can't defend itself.
Copy !req
90. Later. Right now I'm talking
about President Jackson.
Copy !req
91. - You're talking about cheese.
- Sam goes on my list.
Copy !req
92. - What about Toby?
- I'm unpredictable.
Copy !req
93. The White House
belongs to the people...
Copy !req
94. so Jackson invited those
who wished an audience.
Copy !req
95. Then he made them eat
2 tons of cheese.
Copy !req
96. - In that spirit...
- Mandy doesn't go on the list?
Copy !req
97. - Mandy's new.
- So it's just me on the list?
Copy !req
98. It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson
that I ask senior staff...
Copy !req
99. to meet with people who have
a hard time getting our attention.
Copy !req
100. I know the more jaded among you
see this as beneath you.
Copy !req
101. But listening to the voices of passion
in Americans is beneath no one.
Copy !req
102. Surely not the people's servants.
Copy !req
103. - Is it Total Crackpot Day again?
- Yes.
Copy !req
104. Note that Josh isn't on the list.
Copy !req
105. - You have a thing right now.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
106. Hand out those appointments.
Copy !req
107. - What's up?
- That's for "Total Crackpot Day. "
Copy !req
108. Second of all,
this is Jonathan Lacey.
Copy !req
109. Good to meet you.
Mr. McGarry, would you mind?
Copy !req
110. - I know you're busy.
- What can I do for you?
Copy !req
111. Keep this card at all times.
Copy !req
112. - If you lose it, you call us.
- Who's "us"?
Copy !req
113. I'm sorry, I thought you knew.
I'm with the NSC.
Copy !req
114. I meant, what's the card do?
Copy !req
115. It says where to go
during a nuclear attack.
Copy !req
116. You're kidding me.
Copy !req
117. We want you
on Air Force One...
Copy !req
118. or in an underground bunker
as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
119. Sure. Well...
Copy !req
120. Okay, I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
121. I guess that's it, then.
Copy !req
122. - If you have questions, call me.
- Sure.
Copy !req
123. My staff goes with me,
or do they...
Copy !req
124. Oh, sorry.
You know what, I just got it.
Copy !req
125. Okay.
Copy !req
126. I'll stick this right next
to my video club membership...
Copy !req
127. and there's no reason
my staff ever has to know about it.
Copy !req
128. The best thing to do is
to forget about it.
Copy !req
129. I'll go now.
Copy !req
130. The rise in the
Producer's Price Index...
Copy !req
131. coupled with
the tight labor market...
Copy !req
132. have caused inflation concerns.
Are you worried?
Copy !req
133. No, Helen.
Our economy is fundamentally...
Copy !req
134. I wasn't Helen there.
I was Sandy King.
Copy !req
135. - The Miami Herald?
- She moved to the Sun-Times.
Copy !req
136. - That sounded like your Helen.
- Are you concerned?
Copy !req
137. Not at all. Our economy
remains fundamentally strong...
Copy !req
138. shown by the drop in unemployment.
It's a cause for satisfaction.
Copy !req
139. A solitary spike in the PPI
is not cause for overreaction.
Copy !req
140. Also, there's been no increase
in wholesale prices.
Copy !req
141. If you could see clear
to not answer the question...
Copy !req
142. like a professor with a stick up
his butt, that'd be good.
Copy !req
143. I am a professor with a
stick up my butt, but I'll do my best.
Copy !req
144. - That's it for the economy.
- Guns.
Copy !req
145. - We don't need to.
- They'll ask about guns.
Copy !req
146. I know they'll ask,
I'm saying I'm set.
Copy !req
147. - A question or two.
- Is it time for my scolding?
Copy !req
148. - Are we having this argument?
- Sir?
Copy !req
149. Let's do guns, Sam.
Copy !req
150. Is there any reason to believe
this weapons ban bill...
Copy !req
151. - ... will have any reduction in crime?
- Yes. Next.
Copy !req
152. Mr. Zeigler, you have a follow-up?
Copy !req
153. We're lucky to get the question
and you blow it off?
Copy !req
154. - Yes.
- With due respect, may I ask why?
Copy !req
155. - I'm weak-willed and stupid.
- Let's do this later.
Copy !req
156. - We talked.
- I talked it over with other people.
Copy !req
157. - Which people?
- I have lots of other people.
Copy !req
158. We are missing a huge opportunity.
Copy !req
159. What's going on?
Copy !req
160. - We're doing the thing.
- Why aren't you in there?
Copy !req
161. - I was just going in.
- How are Toby and the president?
Copy !req
162. - They are having a disagreement.
- A disagreement or a fight?
Copy !req
163. - It certainly has the potential...
- For God's sake, Toby!
Copy !req
164. There we go.
Copy !req
165. Let's go in.
Copy !req
166. Josh, let's go in.
Copy !req
167. - Sir?
- I won't say the bill is worthless.
Copy !req
168. If we can just admit
its weaknesses, why not?
Copy !req
169. It'll anger the left, energize the
right and the middle will feel played.
Copy !req
170. Sorry, did you want to answer?
Copy !req
171. I'd have said, "Because I said so. "
Copy !req
172. Why take a victory
and declare defeat?
Copy !req
173. Toby, by changing some words...
Copy !req
174. - The world moves on a few words.
- Your point?
Copy !req
175. I have many.
I choose not to make them now.
Copy !req
176. On behalf of everybody here,
let me say that that's a relief.
Copy !req
177. - Excuse me, Leo.
- Yes?
Copy !req
178. My cheese appointment is here...
Copy !req
179. - ... but the conference takes priority.
- I agree.
Copy !req
180. No!
Copy !req
181. You won't get out of it.
Copy !req
182. - This is an important conference.
- It's unimportant.
Copy !req
183. - It's about our future.
- It's about not having one lately.
Copy !req
184. Sam, go.
Copy !req
185. - Mr. President?
- We're going too.
Copy !req
186. - Sir?
- We'll pick this up this afternoon.
Copy !req
187. You're from
United States Space Command.
Copy !req
188. - Few know about us.
- My first time.
Copy !req
189. - We're a little nerdy, I'll admit.
- You camouflage it well.
Copy !req
190. - I'm used to that.
- What can I do?
Copy !req
191. - In a nutshell?
- So to speak.
Copy !req
192. We'd like you to pay
more attention to UFOs.
Copy !req
193. - Are we paying any attention at all?
- No.
Copy !req
194. We have enough trouble
with the first lady's Ouija board.
Copy !req
195. I'd like to show the president data...
Copy !req
196. on possible
extraterrestrial contact.
Copy !req
197. - I can't do that.
- Why not?
Copy !req
198. He'll either yell or laugh at me.
Either way is bad for me.
Copy !req
199. This morning, at 6:35 a.m...
Copy !req
200. air traffic control in Honolulu
picked up a UFO...
Copy !req
201. flying east across the Pacific,
towards California.
Copy !req
202. Navy jets have been in the area...
Copy !req
203. and have been unable
to establish visual contact.
Copy !req
204. These things go unexplained.
Copy !req
205. Shouldn't you take this
to the president?
Copy !req
206. - No.
- Again, may I ask why not?
Copy !req
207. There are levels in
our Air Defense Command.
Copy !req
208. To jump from a radar officer to the
president skips levels.
Copy !req
209. - Like what?
- Like the Pentagon and therapy.
Copy !req
210. - Okay, I can see that...
- No hard feelings...
Copy !req
211. but I can't ask the president...
Copy !req
212. to put down the budget surplus
because of UFOs.
Copy !req
213. Something's heading east
over the Pacific.
Copy !req
214. It's in and out of our radar,
we can't see it.
Copy !req
215. It's up there right now.
I leave you with that.
Copy !req
216. I hope that you don't feel
that you've wasted your time.
Copy !req
217. Here's a pen.
Copy !req
218. The president isn't wild about
Posner's fundraiser...
Copy !req
219. but I think we can't pass.
Where are you on this?
Copy !req
220. Don't worry about me,
you have to worry about Toby.
Copy !req
221. - That's why I'm shoring up support.
- I'm in.
Copy !req
222. They sent pictures
of the Malibu place.
Copy !req
223. - The one from the primary?
- No, he bought another.
Copy !req
224. Where did Robert Benigni
push me into the pool?
Copy !req
225. That was Larry Posner's old place.
Copy !req
226. - If it gets a vote, isn't it worth it?
- If Benigni could vote here.
Copy !req
227. Since he's Italian, I'm just a wet
girl in a Donna Karan dress.
Copy !req
228. I'm the only one
who isn't an economist.
Copy !req
229. But it seems to me
the annual budget...
Copy !req
230. is found either in balance,
in deficit, or in surplus.
Copy !req
231. I don't know how to tell Congress,
much less 8th grade graduates...
Copy !req
232. that there's any in-between.
Copy !req
233. He's not talking about anything
being off-budget.
Copy !req
234. - Especially long-term capital outlays.
- You lost me.
Copy !req
235. In 1991, the budget had a
deficit of $22 billion.
Copy !req
236. But the national debt rose
from 5.2 trillion to 5.4 trillion...
Copy !req
237. in the same year.
Copy !req
238. That's a debt increase of $188 billion
against a $22 billion deficit.
Copy !req
239. This is good news.
Copy !req
240. - You knew those numbers?
- He's freakish.
Copy !req
241. - Zoey's coming for dinner.
- She's in town?
Copy !req
242. My daughter's starting Georgetown
after the first.
Copy !req
243. We're done.
My staff is waiting...
Copy !req
244. and they haven't bothered me
for a few hours.
Copy !req
245. I'm gonna make chili.
I'll make it for everybody.
Copy !req
246. My friends, my daughter,
my beer and some chili!
Copy !req
247. You're gonna be the one to cook?
Copy !req
248. My daughter, Zoey, is down
from Hanover. I'm making chili.
Copy !req
249. - The first lady...
- She's in Pakistan. I eat what I want.
Copy !req
250. - I need ingredients.
- What?
Copy !req
251. - Chili.
- Don't listen to him.
Copy !req
252. Mrs. Landingham wrote it down.
Give it to the steward.
Copy !req
253. And send everyone in.
Thank you, Charlie.
Copy !req
254. How could you remember
that 10 years ago...
Copy !req
255. there was a $188 billion debt
increase off a $22 billion deficit?
Copy !req
256. - God, I was right?
- That's what I thought.
Copy !req
257. Everyone, come in.
Copy !req
258. Listen up, everybody.
Copy !req
259. Zoey's down from Hanover,
I'm making chili tonight.
Copy !req
260. - Okay.
- Great. Chili.
Copy !req
261. Let's do this:
Copy !req
262. Look down at the big seal
in the middle of my carpet.
Copy !req
263. Now, everybody
look back up at me.
Copy !req
264. Zoey's down from Hanover,
and I'm making chili.
Copy !req
265. - That's great!
- Terrific!
Copy !req
266. See how benevolent I can be...
Copy !req
267. when everybody does what I say?
Now, sit down.
Copy !req
268. I want this meeting
to last three minutes.
Copy !req
269. I will allow it to last
no more than five.
Copy !req
270. We're going to California soon.
Copy !req
271. Larry Posner wants a fundraiser.
Copy !req
272. - No.
- Why?
Copy !req
273. The day before,
the president is giving a speech...
Copy !req
274. - ... on violence in film.
- One he shouldn't give.
Copy !req
275. - That's beside the point.
- So?
Copy !req
276. - Posner's movies are violent.
- So is The Godfather.
Copy !req
277. What you mean to say is
Posner's movies are bad.
Copy !req
278. I mean to say,
his movies are indicative...
Copy !req
279. of a Hollywood that is
excessively, arrogantly violent...
Copy !req
280. and is promoting violence
and the disrespect of human life.
Copy !req
281. We can't admonish them Tuesday
and cash their check Wednesday.
Copy !req
282. It's Hollywood.
Who gives a damn?
Copy !req
283. Hang on a second,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
284. I'm drafting a speech
for the entertainment industry...
Copy !req
285. where we come out and say that
much of their product is corruptive.
Copy !req
286. Are we doing this because we want them
to take moral leadership seriously...
Copy !req
287. or because nobody has lost
an election attacking Hollywood?
Copy !req
288. Why can't we do both?
Copy !req
289. - It's not hypocritical?
- No, because Sam is right.
Copy !req
290. It's not that Larry Posner's movies
have sex and violence.
Copy !req
291. They suck.
They're terrible.
Copy !req
292. But people see them
because they have sex and violence.
Copy !req
293. If people stop seeing crappy movies,
Posner would stop making them.
Copy !req
294. Is that strategy working
in the war on drugs?
Copy !req
295. We are imploring these people...
Copy !req
296. to step up
and not be quite so casual...
Copy !req
297. with the awesome influence
they have.
Copy !req
298. But whenever someone blows thunder
at this ridiculous target...
Copy !req
299. it only distracts from the pursuit
of actual solutions!
Copy !req
300. Let me say one thing.
Copy !req
301. If I were an actor or a writer
or a director...
Copy !req
302. and someone came at me
with lists of things...
Copy !req
303. that were American and un-American,
it would sound eerily familiar.
Copy !req
304. Do I look like Joe McCarthy to you?
Copy !req
305. Nobody ever looks like Joe McCarthy.
That's how they get in the door.
Copy !req
306. We seem to have
wandered off the point a bit.
Copy !req
307. - Yeah, and time's up.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
Copy !req
308. - Chili tonight!
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
309. - Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
310. - You look a little...
- No, no.
Copy !req
311. - Know that donut on your desk?
- You ate it?
Copy !req
312. That was predictable, wasn't it?
Copy !req
313. - Any word yet on the...
- The thing's still out there.
Copy !req
314. I had a guy who wants us
to spend more time on UFOs.
Copy !req
315. - We spend time on UFOs?
- I said that.
Copy !req
316. After the Ouija board...
I'm closing the door.
Copy !req
317. CPC picked this thing up on radar.
Copy !req
318. - Sam.
- Right.
Copy !req
319. Listen, you're close
with Cathy, right?
Copy !req
320. - I haven't seen her naked.
- That's not what I'm asking.
Copy !req
321. She's like my younger sister,
but she's paid and she frightens me.
Copy !req
322. But I love her.
It's like you and Donna.
Copy !req
323. Right.
Copy !req
324. When they gave you the card
and said it's you and not Cathy...
Copy !req
325. how did you feel about that?
Copy !req
326. - Gave me what card?
- The NSC card with directions.
Copy !req
327. The directions to...?
Copy !req
328. You, C.J., Toby.
Copy !req
329. When the NSC guy gave you your cards.
Copy !req
330. Josh, what card?
Copy !req
331. Nothing.
Copy !req
332. I was thinking of a different...
Copy !req
333. Nothing.
Copy !req
334. We'd like to tell you about Pluie.
Copy !req
335. - Who's Pluie?
- I'm glad you asked.
Copy !req
336. - That's Pluie?
- Yes.
Copy !req
337. - Pluie's a wolf?
- She is.
Copy !req
338. And you're gonna
tell me her story?
Copy !req
339. For 4 years, scientists
tracked Pluie...
Copy !req
340. as she made her way from Alberta...
Copy !req
341. up and down the Rockies.
Copy !req
342. She's made 3 round trips
between Canada and Wyoming.
Copy !req
343. 40,000 square miles.
Copy !req
344. It was an impressive performance...
Copy !req
345. considering the impediments
of modern life she had to conquer.
Copy !req
346. Highways, housing,
forests denuded of trees.
Copy !req
347. - And the U.S.-Canadian border.
- Sure, no photo ID.
Copy !req
348. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
349. That was a joke.
Copy !req
350. Why does Pluie do it?
Copy !req
351. Wolves have to breed with many packs
to keep from becoming extinct.
Copy !req
352. If they breed among themselves,
they'll become genetically weaker...
Copy !req
353. endangering long-term survival.
Copy !req
354. That helps explain Buckingham Palace.
Copy !req
355. - May we tell you what we propose?
- Sure.
Copy !req
356. The wolves-only roadway.
Copy !req
357. The wolves-only roadway?
Copy !req
358. 1800 miles, from Yellowstone
to the Yukon territory...
Copy !req
359. with highway overpasses.
Copy !req
360. - An 1800-mile wolves-only roadway?
- Pluie had to...
Copy !req
361. How do you teach wolves
to follow road signs?
Copy !req
362. Our scientists
are working on a plan.
Copy !req
363. Pluie's gonna get drunk,
wander off the road and eat my cat.
Copy !req
364. - We don't think that'll happen.
- I don't think this'll happen.
Copy !req
365. Ranchers don't want wolves
returned to the West.
Copy !req
366. - Ranchers are killers.
- They aren't.
Copy !req
367. You should take that back.
Copy !req
368. Ranchers face falling stock prices,
rising taxes, drought...
Copy !req
369. and people eating less beef.
Copy !req
370. They want to blame something.
Copy !req
371. I'd rather it be a wolf than us.
Copy !req
372. Pluie was shot and killed
by a rancher last month.
Copy !req
373. I'm sorry to hear that.
Copy !req
374. I'm not sure you are.
Copy !req
375. How much would it cost?
Copy !req
376. That's the beauty part.
With corporate sponsorship...
Copy !req
377. the cost to the taxpayer
is only $900 million.
Copy !req
378. Seriously, how much would it cost?
Copy !req
379. If we're gonna do this,
why not do it right?
Copy !req
380. We're not gonna do it.
Copy !req
381. Sure, there are
other ways to spend.
Copy !req
382. You think?
Copy !req
383. What's a better way
to spend the money?
Copy !req
384. $900 million?
Copy !req
385. Another war plane or S & I bailout?
Copy !req
386. How about the nine best schools?
Copy !req
387. Let's move on
to the grizzly bear.
Copy !req
388. Can I talk to you?
Copy !req
389. Did you get him a spot
on Hollywood Squares?
Copy !req
390. You know Posner's a huge supporter.
Copy !req
391. I know.
Copy !req
392. - I came to be nice to you.
- Go ahead.
Copy !req
393. - I don't like going against you.
- I don't either.
Copy !req
394. That's you being nice?
Copy !req
395. I'm glad Rosen
passed on the communications job.
Copy !req
396. They couldn't have
done better than you.
Copy !req
397. Excuse me?
Copy !req
398. You're a better director
than David Rosen would've been.
Copy !req
399. That's me being nice.
Copy !req
400. - I asked if I was the first choice...
- Back to this?
Copy !req
401. you called me paranoid.
Copy !req
402. You called me a paranoid nudnik.
Copy !req
403. For the last time, you weren't the
president's second choice.
Copy !req
404. - And David Rosen?
- What?
Copy !req
405. Mandy was in my office.
Copy !req
406. She said she's happy
Rosen passed on my job.
Copy !req
407. We'll start in a few minutes.
Give fair warning.
Copy !req
408. I don't know anything.
Where is this coming from?
Copy !req
409. Help me with the gun thing.
Hollywood can wait.
Copy !req
410. Since when do you need help?
Copy !req
411. Since I became the kid
raising his hand...
Copy !req
412. that nobody wants
the teacher to call on.
Copy !req
413. Just help me, please.
Copy !req
414. I appreciate you
squeezing me in like this.
Copy !req
415. I was able to cancel someone.
Copy !req
416. You shouldn't have,
it's not a big deal.
Copy !req
417. What's not a big deal?
Copy !req
418. I'm out of practice.
Copy !req
419. That comes from
not seeing me for months.
Copy !req
420. The idea would make the people
I work for nervous.
Copy !req
421. Why are you here now?
Copy !req
422. This is gonna sound silly.
Copy !req
423. There's a magazine article...
A magazine article came out...
Copy !req
424. and it said several countries
have stored the smallpox virus.
Copy !req
425. - Are you afraid you have smallpox?
- No.
Copy !req
426. Don't laugh.
Copy !req
427. - I have Ave Maria stuck in my head.
- The Schubert?
Copy !req
428. Yeah, I've been humming it
to myself all morning.
Copy !req
429. - Why do you think the Ave Maria?
- Why do you think?
Copy !req
430. I don't know.
Copy !req
431. My sister played it over and over,
I don't know how many years ago.
Copy !req
432. - Your sister who died?
- Joanie.
Copy !req
433. Why did Joanie play
the Ave Maria in her room?
Copy !req
434. She liked music.
A lot.
Copy !req
435. She wanted to be a conductor.
Copy !req
436. She used to pretend she was
conducting to the music.
Copy !req
437. Anyway, that, and I was
a little thrown off this morning...
Copy !req
438. when they gave me this card.
Copy !req
439. I was the only one who got one.
Copy !req
440. I mean, of my friends.
That surprised me.
Copy !req
441. - Joanie, Toby and C.J.
- Joanie?
Copy !req
442. - What?
- You named Joanie in there.
Copy !req
443. You said you got a card
and Joanie didn't.
Copy !req
444. I meant... No.
Copy !req
445. We were just talking about Joanie.
Copy !req
446. What kind of card?
Copy !req
447. It was...
Copy !req
448. There are things I can't discuss.
Copy !req
449. I'm not withholding anything
I should be emotionally available for.
Copy !req
450. - Okay.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
451. Can you talk about it,
but not talk about it?
Copy !req
452. I gotta go.
Copy !req
453. - Sorry you canceled an appointment.
- But I did cancel.
Copy !req
454. - Take off your coat.
- It was impulsive, I wasted your time.
Copy !req
455. Do you think it's strange
you haven't told me how Joanie died?
Copy !req
456. - I've told you.
- No, you haven't.
Copy !req
457. - Sure, I have.
- No.
Copy !req
458. It's not a big deal.
Copy !req
459. She was babysitting for me
and there was a fire.
Copy !req
460. How'd the fire start?
Copy !req
461. I honestly don't remember.
Copy !req
462. Something about a popcorn maker.
Copy !req
463. And the house caught on fire?
Copy !req
464. - Yeah.
- While Joanie was babysitting you?
Copy !req
465. Why aren't you dead?
Copy !req
466. I ran out of the house.
Copy !req
467. You were just a little boy.
That's what you were supposed to do.
Copy !req
468. I was knocking,
but you didn't answer.
Copy !req
469. - I didn't hear the door.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
470. I'm ready to brief the president
on the smallpox article.
Copy !req
471. Forget about that for tonight
and come have some chili.
Copy !req
472. An NSC staffer gave me a card
with instructions...
Copy !req
473. for what to do
in a nuclear attack.
Copy !req
474. They want me up in a plane or down
in a bunker. They don't want you.
Copy !req
475. Or Sam or Toby, for that matter.
Copy !req
476. I didn't want to be friends with you
and have you not know.
Copy !req
477. Have you been upset about this?
Copy !req
478. Yes.
Copy !req
479. You're sweet sometimes,
you really are.
Copy !req
480. Of course they don't want me,
I'm a press secretary.
Copy !req
481. They won't be issuing any releases.
Copy !req
482. Sam and Toby are communications.
And speeches won't be a priority.
Copy !req
483. Come. Have some fun.
Copy !req
484. This is a beautiful piece of music.
Do you know this?
Copy !req
485. I'm Catholic.
Copy !req
486. Hang on, listen...
Copy !req
487. That, right there.
Copy !req
488. It's miraculous.
Copy !req
489. - Schubert was crazy, you know?
- Yes.
Copy !req
490. Do you have to be crazy
to create something powerful?
Copy !req
491. The Cold War is over. There's...
Copy !req
492. God, C.J.,
it's not gonna be like that.
Copy !req
493. It's not gonna be the red phone
and nuclear bombs.
Copy !req
494. - What's it gonna be?
- It's gonna be this.
Copy !req
495. Smallpox has been gone for 50 years.
No one has an acquired immunity.
Copy !req
496. It flies through the air.
You carry a 10-foot cloud around you.
Copy !req
497. If 100 people in New York City got it,
you'd have to encircle them...
Copy !req
498. with 100 million vaccinated people
to contain it.
Copy !req
499. Do you know how many doses
of the vaccine exist here?
Copy !req
500. Seven.
Copy !req
501. 100 people get it,
we'll have a global emergency...
Copy !req
502. that'll make HIV
look like cold and flu season.
Copy !req
503. It's gonna be a test tube with a
rubber cap that's deteriorating.
Copy !req
504. A guy steps out of
Times Square station...
Copy !req
505. Smashes it on the sidewalk.
Copy !req
506. There's a world war right there.
Copy !req
507. We'll make more vaccine.
Copy !req
508. You better hurry.
I'm the only one with a card.
Copy !req
509. - The president is asking for you.
- In a minute.
Copy !req
510. You really are very sweet sometimes.
Copy !req
511. It's all about the fundamentals.
Keep your feet moving on defense.
Copy !req
512. Pass and get open on offense.
Copy !req
513. I am a master of the fundamentals.
Copy !req
514. That is why my team
thoroughly dominated yours.
Copy !req
515. Didn't hurt having
an ACC Player of the Week.
Copy !req
516. - Kids don't understand.
- No appreciation for the game.
Copy !req
517. - Are you drunk?
- No.
Copy !req
518. - Now, why...
- I just like asking.
Copy !req
519. - I tell you...
- Give it up. Where's Zoey?
Copy !req
520. She's in the kitchen.
Copy !req
521. Wolves don't kill people.
It's a myth.
Copy !req
522. Now she's become a wolf person?
Copy !req
523. More people are killed getting change
out of vending machines.
Copy !req
524. People killed last year
by vending machines: four.
Copy !req
525. Number of people killed
by wolf attack: zero.
Copy !req
526. Excuse me.
Copy !req
527. People die from vending machines?
Copy !req
528. - Hey, good to see you.
- Mr. President.
Copy !req
529. I guess we haven't been
getting along too well, lately.
Copy !req
530. No, I guess not.
Copy !req
531. - I've been irritating you?
- Yes.
Copy !req
532. Was David Rosen
your first choice for my job?
Copy !req
533. Yes.
Copy !req
534. I'm glad we had this little talk.
Copy !req
535. I feel a lot better, thanks.
Copy !req
536. We were up all night
on that one, Toby.
Copy !req
537. Me and Leo and Josh.
Copy !req
538. They were screaming at me,
"Governor, it's gotta be Toby. "
Copy !req
539. I held my ground
and we went to Rosen.
Copy !req
540. And he wanted to take a partnership
at Salomon Brothers, thank God.
Copy !req
541. I couldn't live without you.
Copy !req
542. I mean it, I'd be in the tall grass.
In the weeds.
Copy !req
543. I know I disappoint you sometimes.
I can sense it.
Copy !req
544. I only get mad because
you're right a lot of times.
Copy !req
545. You aren't the kid in class
with his hand up.
Copy !req
546. Whatever it was you said to C.J.
Copy !req
547. You are a wise
and brilliant man, Toby.
Copy !req
548. The other night, on the court,
did you mean what you said?
Copy !req
549. That my demons were shouting down
my better angels?
Copy !req
550. Yes, sir, I did.
Copy !req
551. You think that's
what's stopping me from greatness?
Copy !req
552. Yes.
Copy !req
553. I suppose you're right.
Copy !req
554. I'll tell you what, though.
Copy !req
555. In a battle between a president's
demons and his better angels...
Copy !req
556. for the first time in
a long while...
Copy !req
557. I think we might just
have ourselves a fair fight.
Copy !req
558. Thank you, Toby.
Copy !req
559. Now, go away.
Copy !req
560. - Drop the spoon.
- I knew it was you.
Copy !req
561. - You look good!
- You look like death!
Copy !req
562. Thanks. I have a new barber.
Copy !req
563. - I heard you've been nutty today.
- Mind your own business.
Copy !req
564. - What classes you taking?
- Mind your own business.
Copy !req
565. - Charlie, you met Zoey Bartlet?
- It's a pleasure, ma'am.
Copy !req
566. Let's take it back a moment.
Copy !req
567. This is a girl.
You don't call her "ma'am. "
Copy !req
568. - Beg your pardon. Did I call you...
- Zoey.
Copy !req
569. - I should call you Zoey?
- If I can call you Charlie.
Copy !req
570. - The president...
- That's her father.
Copy !req
571. You're forbidden from adding
cumin to the chili.
Copy !req
572. Check to see if he's nearby.
Copy !req
573. I have certain instructions.
Copy !req
574. - You're fine.
- Taste this.
Copy !req
575. - Doesn't it need cumin?
- It needs oregano.
Copy !req
576. Well, let's get to work.
Copy !req
577. See you guys.
Copy !req
578. Maybe the vending machines
fall on them...
Copy !req
579. while they're
getting their change.
Copy !req
580. We can build schools
and protect wildlife at the same time.
Copy !req
581. - Pluie really got to you?
- He really was very sweet.
Copy !req
582. Josh, we were looking for you.
Copy !req
583. - Look at this.
- Look at what, sir?
Copy !req
584. Nothing makes me feel quite so good...
Copy !req
585. as colleagues enjoying each other
outside work.
Copy !req
586. What were you guys
talking about?
Copy !req
587. We were talking about these women.
Copy !req
588. We can't get over these women.
Copy !req
589. C.J.'s like a '50s movie star.
So capable, loving and energetic.
Copy !req
590. Look at Mandy over there.
Going punch for punch with Toby...
Copy !req
591. in a world that tells women
to sit down and shut up.
Copy !req
592. She's already won her battle
with the president.
Copy !req
593. But she's not done.
She wants Toby.
Copy !req
594. Mrs. Landingham.
Copy !req
595. Did you guys know
she lost two sons in Vietnam?
Copy !req
596. Why she serves her country is beyond
me, but she's not missed a day's work.
Copy !req
597. There's Cathy,
Donna, and Margaret...
Copy !req
598. There's something that's
been bothering me.
Copy !req
599. - I know it's an inappropriate time.
- What's on your mind?
Copy !req
600. I serve the president,
and it's an unforgettable privilege.
Copy !req
601. I can't keep this.
Copy !req
602. It's a white flag of surrender.
Copy !req
603. I wanna be a comfort
to my friends in tragedy...
Copy !req
604. and celebrate with them in triumph.
Copy !req
605. For the times in between, I wanna
be able to look them in the eye.
Copy !req
606. I wanna be with my friends,
my family...
Copy !req
607. and these women.
Copy !req
608. Excuse me.
Copy !req
609. Thank you.
Friends, please.
Copy !req
610. The chili's ready,
I hope you enjoy it.
Copy !req
611. Since I told you
you would enjoy it...
Copy !req
612. I'm reasonably certain
that you will.
Copy !req
613. The first lady is in Pakistan.
Copy !req
614. I'm not entirely sure why,
but I've learned...
Copy !req
615. it's a good idea not to
ask too many questions.
Copy !req
616. It seldom leads to anything
but confusion.
Copy !req
617. I miss her very much, but I'm delighted
our daughter is here.
Copy !req
618. You know, she's starting Georgetown
in the spring.
Copy !req
619. This, prior to medical school
and a life of celibacy.
Copy !req
620. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
621. It's an incredible adventure.
Copy !req
622. Four years full of people and
experiences you haven't dreamed of.
Copy !req
623. Allow me just one minute of business.
Copy !req
624. I hope by the time
our four years are done...
Copy !req
625. we see to it
that anyone who chooses...
Copy !req
626. can go to college,
regardless of their economic status.
Copy !req
627. Here, here.
Copy !req
628. I hear that today was another one of
Leo's "big block of cheese" days.
Copy !req
629. You all start out cynical, but there's
always one or two converts a day.
Copy !req
630. Today was no exception.
C.J. is gonna be up all night...
Copy !req
631. . writing a position paper on the
necessity of wildlife protection.
Copy !req
632. C.J., I don't mind the cost
of this wolves-only highway.
Copy !req
633. It's the segregation.
Copy !req
634. The ACLU will file a petition
on behalf of reindeer...
Copy !req
635. and we're all screwed.
Copy !req
636. Sam Seaborn had a guy
who spotted a UFO today.
Copy !req
637. He's been thinking about it
ever since.
Copy !req
638. It wasn't a ship from another planet,
just another time.
Copy !req
639. An abandoned Soviet satellite.
Copy !req
640. Its booster didn't fire
and it couldn't escape Earth's orbit.
Copy !req
641. A reminder of a time when two powerful
nations challenged each other...
Copy !req
642. and then boldly raced
into outer space.
Copy !req
643. What will be the next challenge...
Copy !req
644. that makes us go farther
and work harder?
Copy !req
645. When smallpox was eradicated...
Copy !req
646. it was the greatest humanitarian
achievement of this century.
Copy !req
647. Surely we can do it again...
Copy !req
648. as when our eyes
looked towards the heavens...
Copy !req
649. and with outstretched fingers,
we touched the face of God.
Copy !req
650. Here's to absent friends...
Copy !req
651. and the ones that are here now.
Copy !req
