Copy !req
54. - What's his name?
- Rahmadi Sumahidjo Bambang.
Copy !req
55. - Can you spell that?
- Not correctly.
Copy !req
56. - I've gotta tell you something.
- What?
Copy !req
57. I'm not wild about this
Indonesian thing.
Copy !req
58. - I've been reading.
- I wish you wouldn't.
Copy !req
59. You cull some bizarre fact
from a disreputable source...
Copy !req
60. - ... and exaggerate it.
- I do not!
Copy !req
61. In certain parts of Indonesia...
Copy !req
62. they execute people
they suspect of being sorcerers.
Copy !req
63. - What?
- I read it.
Copy !req
64. They execute people
suspected of being sorcerers?

Copy !req
74. C.J. needs to know
what they're wearing.
Copy !req
75. - The issue?
- Two-tiered hiring.
Copy !req
76. The company divides
itself into two bodies:
Copy !req
77. Full-time employees who enjoy
top market wages and benefits...
Copy !req
78. and part-time or newer full-time...
Copy !req
79. who are paid lower wages
and get no benefits.
Copy !req
80. But they're part-time.
Copy !req
81. A lot of designated part-time workers
are de facto full-time employees...
Copy !req
82. working similar hours
with a different title...
Copy !req
83. at lower wages
with no benefits.
Copy !req
84. - I'm with management.
- Imagine my surprise.
Copy !req
85. A young work force
looks for job flexibility...
Copy !req
86. and won't commit to one company.
Copy !req
87. - What do you expect?
- Fair hiring.
Copy !req
88. McClane, Idaho... I need someone
to keep the president and me updated.
Copy !req
89. - I can.
- Work with Toby on the toast.
Copy !req
90. - Don't need him.
- You do.
Copy !req
91. - Takes two to write it?
- The State Department's particular.
Copy !req
92. - I'll assign someone.
- I'll do it.
Copy !req
93. - You can't.
- Why not?
Copy !req
94. You're a political consultant
and this is an actual thing.
Copy !req
95. I can play a role in issues. It won't
be the end to this administration.
Copy !req
96. Not this administration...
Copy !req
97. but the end of this republic.
Copy !req
98. Establish a contact at the
Justice Department and the FBI...
Copy !req
99. and keep Josh informed.
Copy !req
100. What else?
Copy !req
101. The Redskins suck.
Copy !req
102. Thank you.
Copy !req
103. - Did Josh talk to you about...?
- Rahmadi Sumahidjo Bambang?
Copy !req
104. - Yes.
- I'm on it.
Copy !req
105. You know that in parts of Indonesia
they execute suspected sorcerers?
Copy !req
106. Yes.
Copy !req
107. - You see?
- You're all crazy.
Copy !req
108. - Here, sir.
- Mr. President...
Copy !req
109. - No questions now.
- It's short.
Copy !req
110. She's not worried about
the length of your question...
Copy !req
111. but the length of my answer.
Copy !req
112. - We're having salmon tonight.
- Yes.
Copy !req
113. - They told you that?
- Yes.
Copy !req
114. Yo-Yo Ma is going to play.
Copy !req
115. Some Bach concertos, I believe.
Copy !req
116. - Do you like salmon?
- No.
Copy !req
117. Well, our mistake.
Copy !req
118. Yes.
Copy !req
119. What have you got?
Copy !req
120. We start by welcoming
our friends and guests.
Copy !req
121. Praise Siguto for leading his country
through change as Indonesia moves...
Copy !req
122. from dictatorship to democracy.
Copy !req
123. The beginnings of democracy.
Don't get carried away.
Copy !req
124. "We've been friends
for 50 years... "
Copy !req
125. - Don't say "friends. "
- It's a state dinner.
Copy !req
126. Don't remind people we were
friends of those...
Copy !req
127. who oppressed people
while stealing their money.
Copy !req
128. - How else would you steal it?
- Write that in the toast.
Copy !req
129. You got something going on
tonight with Josh?
Copy !req
130. - Gotta see a guy about a thing.
- Need help?
Copy !req
131. No. Toughen this up.
Copy !req
132. Thirty days with a mediator,
you couldn't fix this?
Copy !req
133. - There's fundamental differences.
- Name them.
Copy !req
134. The two-tiered hiring.
Copy !req
135. Our industry
competes with FedEx, UPS...
Copy !req
136. railroads, airlines,
freight operations.
Copy !req
137. To accept wage costs greater than
competitors' would cripple us.
Copy !req
138. - You're full of crap.
- This is the White House.
Copy !req
139. - Watch your mouth.
- Forgive me.
Copy !req
140. For all the danger your industry
faces from competition...
Copy !req
141. trucks are still the main way of
moving things around, including food.
Copy !req
142. I'm talking about produce
rotting in warehouses.
Copy !req
143. I'm talking about fights in markets
over who gets the last bar of soap.
Copy !req
144. You have until midnight.
Copy !req
145. - You think I can't do this.
- Why aren't you in your office?
Copy !req
146. - I don't have an office here.
- There's a reason.
Copy !req
147. McClane police got a
search warrant for the house.
Copy !req
148. They believed there was a gun...
Copy !req
149. made illegal by a barrel
shorter than its design.
Copy !req
150. The people, who are exactly who you
think, refused entry to the police.
Copy !req
151. Did they do it politely?
Copy !req
152. They produced weapons,
if that's what you mean.
Copy !req
153. It bugs you that
the president listens to me.
Copy !req
154. I'm bugged when he listens
to anyone besides me.
Copy !req
155. You know why the FBI believed
there was an illegal weapon?
Copy !req
156. We sold it to them.
Copy !req
157. - You know that for sure?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
158. There are children in there...
Copy !req
159. and the deputy attorney general...
Copy !req
160. the FBI and the ATF
don't know who's in charge.
Copy !req
161. Aside from everything else, this is
a PR disaster waiting to happen...
Copy !req
162. and it's gonna happen today.
Copy !req
163. - This is why you hired me.
- I was wondering why that was.
Copy !req
164. - It bugs you.
- Yes.
Copy !req
165. Yes.
Copy !req
166. President Siguto,
how are you enjoying America?
Copy !req
167. - Fine, thank you.
- Would you mind expanding on that?
Copy !req
168. She'd like you to say
more on the subject.
Copy !req
169. I have nothing more
to say on the subject.
Copy !req
170. One more question?
Copy !req
171. - Mr. President?
- Which one?
Copy !req
172. President Bartlet. Did you see
the protestors this morning?
Copy !req
173. I try not to look out my window much.
Which ones?
Copy !req
174. - Vermeil.
- Vermeil?
Copy !req
175. I'll cover vermeil at the briefing.
I gotta bring in the next group.
Copy !req
176. Thank you.
Copy !req
177. - You don't know about it?
- It's about vermeil.
Copy !req
178. - What's vermeil?
- I know what vermeil is.
Copy !req
179. My 1:00 briefing will be
about vermeil protestors.
Copy !req
180. I asked a question, he didn't answer.
Copy !req
181. There should be some follow-up.
Copy !req
182. - Thanks.
- Carol?
Copy !req
183. She's gonna need you.
Copy !req
184. What's vermeil and
why are people protesting it?
Copy !req
185. - E-I-L?
- Maybe.
Copy !req
186. Good morning.
Good morning, Mr. President.
Copy !req
187. Would you excuse me?
Sir, if I could...?
Copy !req
188. Absolutely.
Pardon me one moment, please?
Copy !req
189. Excuse me, folks.
Copy !req
190. I can't decide if that
man's boring or rude.
Copy !req
191. I'm trying to figure out how
he campaigned and won...
Copy !req
192. then I remember,
we rig the election.
Copy !req
193. Must he sit with me tonight?
Copy !req
194. He's the guest of honor.
Copy !req
195. - And you?
- Your table.
Copy !req
196. - Toby?
- With C.J. and Josh and Sam.
Copy !req
197. The fun table.
What do you need?
Copy !req
198. We're gonna clear a carrier
group from the Norfolk naval yard.
Copy !req
199. - The hurricane.
- It's standard. Get the ships out.
Copy !req
200. This is in case someone
asks why a carrier group...
Copy !req
201. is in the North Atlantic.
Copy !req
202. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Copy !req
203. - Did I mention we're having salmon?
- Yes.
Copy !req
204. Read this.
Copy !req
205. "Indonesia's constitution
highlights democracy... "
Copy !req
206. - Read.
- I know what you're gearing up for.
Copy !req
207. Read!
Copy !req
208. "The ideology of Pancasila, which
your constitution is founded on...
Copy !req
209. includes belief in a supreme being
and calls for tolerance. "
Copy !req
210. You underlined that.
"Freedom of the press... "
Copy !req
211. Is it good to invite people to dinner,
then tell them how they're wrong?
Copy !req
212. Absolutely.
Or it's just wasting food.
Copy !req
213. We're not saying how
to run their lives.
Copy !req
214. "It's time to meet
the promise enshrined...
Copy !req
215. in the hearts of your people
as well as your laws"?
Copy !req
216. Friendly reminder.
Copy !req
217. - Can we soften this?
- No.
Copy !req
218. Something like,
"As has often been said:
Copy !req
219. A friend tells a friend
the truth. Sometimes...
Copy !req
220. we speak candidly,
or we couldn't...
Copy !req
221. hold the great honor of being known
the world over as Indonesia's friend. "
Copy !req
222. Wow.
Copy !req
223. That was just about
the worst writing I've ever heard.
Copy !req
224. I know.
Copy !req
225. Vermeil is silver, gilded in gold.
Copy !req
226. The White House has one
of the largest collections.
Copy !req
227. Why the protestors?
Copy !req
228. These are 18th and 19th-century
objects, many designed...
Copy !req
229. by the noted silversmith
Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot.
Copy !req
230. The collection's in the Gold Room
with the glass chandelier...
Copy !req
231. made in England in 1785.
Copy !req
232. What does it have to do
with protestors?
Copy !req
233. Nothing. It's interesting information
I thought I'd share with you.
Copy !req
234. Workers were blinded by
the mercury while making them.
Copy !req
235. Louis XV melted them
to pay for wars against his people.
Copy !req
236. Some see them as symbolic of
government oppression of the people.
Copy !req
237. We use them as
centerpieces with flowers.
Copy !req
238. Does the president worry
about sending a bad message?
Copy !req
239. I'll be honest.
I haven't run it by him yet.
Copy !req
240. I'll have that, and more scores
and highlights, at the next briefing.
Copy !req
241. Thank you.
Copy !req
242. I won't need a transcript of that.
Copy !req
243. You're a rabble-rouser.
You rouse rabbles.
Copy !req
244. I saw your vermeil demonstration.
Six people in Lafayette Park.
Copy !req
245. I didn't say it was Selma, Alabama.
Copy !req
246. Six people protesting on a Friday
and you just lent them a megaphone.
Copy !req
247. - What do you call it?
- A good job.
Copy !req
248. - You're proud of yourself.
- What are you wearing tonight?
Copy !req
249. Your paper wants to know?
Copy !req
250. - I do.
- You wanna know what I'm wearing?
Copy !req
251. Yeah.
Copy !req
252. I'm wearing an evening
gown of gray silk.
Copy !req
253. Good. I'll be looking forward to it.
Copy !req
254. I've got to go deal
with the vermeil crazies.
Copy !req
255. - See you.
- Okay.
Copy !req
256. I thought since this toast
is at the end of the talks...
Copy !req
257. that we should lighten it up.
Copy !req
258. - I've got con law.
- Sit quietly?
Copy !req
259. - I need to study.
- Okay.
Copy !req
260. - Thanks.
- I'll have my sandwich.
Copy !req
261. Should I have the ham
or chicken salad?
Copy !req
262. The chicken salad's mine.
Copy !req
263. In this environment,
it's community food, right?
Copy !req
264. - Are you afraid of being seen with me?
- Because of your clothes?
Copy !req
265. - What's wrong with this?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
266. Because of my night job. You're not
afraid of being seen with me?
Copy !req
267. - No.
- Okay.
Copy !req
268. - Your night job's crummy.
- Yes.
Copy !req
269. - You got a thing tonight? Date?
- A client? Yeah.
Copy !req
270. - Who? I was just...
- I thought we had a deal.
Copy !req
271. - Where you going?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
272. I don't know.
He calls and says what to wear.
Copy !req
273. - It's a surprise.
- Is this someone who's...?
Copy !req
274. I have class and haven't finished...
Copy !req
275. It's Gideon v. Wainwright,
372 U.S. 335.
Copy !req
276. Cite the precedent,
cite Black's opinion for the majority.
Copy !req
277. Thank you for the geek bravado...
Copy !req
278. but I'd like to learn this
so I can graduate...
Copy !req
279. practice law
and end my night job.
Copy !req
280. Learn from my experience.
Copy !req
281. School bears little relationship
to practice.
Copy !req
282. It bears a relationship to graduating,
right? Shut up.
Copy !req
283. Your night job stinks,
and I'm taking your sandwich.
Copy !req
284. We're all agreed that
militias pose an inherent threat.
Copy !req
285. They're well-armed cadres of lunatics
who undermine government.
Copy !req
286. Would it be inappropriate
for me to speak?
Copy !req
287. No, of course not.
Copy !req
288. Kooks, nuts, extremists,
the lunatic fringe element:
Copy !req
289. This is the inevitable
byproduct of a democracy...
Copy !req
290. such as pornography is a
byproduct of free speech.
Copy !req
291. They aren't thumbing through Hustler.
They're armed and holding hostages.
Copy !req
292. We think they're holding hostages.
We sold them the gun to begin with.
Copy !req
293. - It's called a sting.
- Another word for it is entrapment.
Copy !req
294. - A judge won't...
- I'm not talking about the courts.
Copy !req
295. - I'm talking public opinion.
- This is two different conversations.
Copy !req
296. - You want to raid?
- Not with guns blazing.
Copy !req
297. We'll fire tear gas
through windows.
Copy !req
298. The front page will be
a woman with a baby...
Copy !req
299. and FBI jackets in the foreground.
We could starve them out.
Copy !req
300. They've a five-year supply of rations,
to say nothing of ammunition.
Copy !req
301. There's no way this'll end good.
So end it fast.
Copy !req
302. - I agree.
- What about a negotiator?
Copy !req
303. - Negotiate what?
- A peaceful settlement.
Copy !req
304. This is a standoff.
A settlement is "Put your guns down. "
Copy !req
305. It would be wise if we tried
every peaceful solution...
Copy !req
306. before we got all Rambo-ed up.
Copy !req
307. Mandy, thank you. Josh, will
you two give us a minute, please?
Copy !req
308. It's not macho for the White House to
be aggressive in preserving democracy.
Copy !req
309. It's not the nuts that are
the threat to democracy.
Copy !req
310. As history has shown us,
the greatest threat to democracy...
Copy !req
311. is the state's power
over its citizens...
Copy !req
312. which is always unleashed in the
name of preservation.
Copy !req
313. This isn't abstract.
This isn't theoretical.
Copy !req
314. The FBI says "Come out,"
you do it.
Copy !req
315. Then you avail yourself
of the justice system.
Copy !req
316. You believe that, or are you
pissed because I got in the game?
Copy !req
317. The president's with you.
Chafey's sending a negotiator.
Copy !req
318. Good.
Copy !req
319. You're in the game now.
Copy !req
320. If you can't say why you're there,
you're a sorcerer.
Copy !req
321. If you try to run, you're a sorcerer.
Copy !req
322. The prudent thing is to stand
still and explain your business.
Copy !req
323. Once the scythe comes out,
I'm probably gonna haul ass.
Copy !req
324. - Excuse me.
- What?
Copy !req
325. - I need a favor.
- What is it?
Copy !req
326. - My grandparents live near Georgia.
- Are they evacuating?
Copy !req
327. - I don't know.
- Phones are down in Georgia.
Copy !req
328. - I'm sorry to ask you this, but...
- Donna, call FEMA. Use my name.
Copy !req
329. When that doesn't work,
use Leo's name.
Copy !req
330. - They don't get around well.
- We'll find them.
Copy !req
331. Hi.
Copy !req
332. I look good, don't you think?
Copy !req
333. You do too,
but I look even better.
Copy !req
334. The FBI guy's been
in there a few hours.
Copy !req
335. - Think that's good?
- I really don't know.
Copy !req
336. I'm asking you what you think.
Copy !req
337. I don't have any thoughts on it.
Copy !req
338. - And the Teamsters?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
339. - Any news on the hurricane?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
340. - What is it you do here exactly?
- It's never been made clear to me.
Copy !req
341. He's not here.
Copy !req
342. - We look good!
- Don't we?
Copy !req
343. Do you guys want to be alone?
Copy !req
344. I'm finishing up this speech.
Copy !req
345. Can you think of some connection...
Copy !req
346. between Siguto
and the U.S., from his past?
Copy !req
347. He was almost pushed from an
airplane by a CIA operative.
Copy !req
348. - I'll leave that out.
- I would.
Copy !req
349. Excuse me, Josh.
Can I speak with you?
Copy !req
350. - Is he in? Let's go.
- There's a problem.
Copy !req
351. This is Mr. Minaldi, the interpreter
for the State Department.
Copy !req
352. - Do you speak Indonesian?
- There's no such language.
Copy !req
353. Indonesians speak 583
different languages.
Copy !req
354. I speak Javanese.
Mr. Bambang speaks Batak.
Copy !req
355. - It's under control.
- It's 7:30. Anyone at State?
Copy !req
356. - No. Mr. Minaldi speaks Portuguese.
- And?
Copy !req
357. A guy in the kitchen
can translate Mr. Bombang's...
Copy !req
358. Bambang's Batak into Portuguese,
then Mr. Minaldi will translate.
Copy !req
359. Why can't the kitchen guy
translate Batak into English?
Copy !req
360. - He can't speak English.
- You're kidding.
Copy !req
361. He speaks Batak and Portuguese,
though.
Copy !req
362. - Is the bar open?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
363. Make this work.
Copy !req
364. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
365. Have you seen the first...?
Copy !req
366. - Good evening.
- Nice threads, girl.
Copy !req
367. Showing a little decolletage
wouldn't have killed you.
Copy !req
368. Harry and Nancy O'Malley,
Douglas and Barbara Colson...
Copy !req
369. - ... and Steven Colson, a cardiologist.
- Pleasure.
Copy !req
370. Pleasure to meet you.
Copy !req
371. This is C.J., the press secretary.
Copy !req
372. She's not married, Steven,
and no boyfriend.
Copy !req
373. - Thank you, Mrs. Bartlet.
- Would you excuse us?
Copy !req
374. He's heir to Colson Technologies.
Copy !req
375. - I appreciate the thought.
- What's up?
Copy !req
376. I spoke to Peggy about the vermeil.
Copy !req
377. I'm not embarrassed by it.
We didn't spend new money.
Copy !req
378. - But it's history.
- Better or worse, it's our history.
Copy !req
379. We won't lock it in the basement
or brush it with paint.
Copy !req
380. Okay. Good answer.
Copy !req
381. - The truth does it almost every time.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
382. - Cardiologist.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
383. I'm sorry, is that Leo McGarry
or is that Fred Astaire?
Copy !req
384. - Fred Astaire.
- Where's my husband?
Copy !req
385. On a call.
He'll meet you there.
Copy !req
386. - Teamsters?
- It's been 10 hours.
Copy !req
387. - What do you think?
- We'll be okay.
Copy !req
388. Mingle.
Copy !req
389. - Anything?
- This is the Red Cross.
Copy !req
390. - What about Idaho?
- Nobody's calling back.
Copy !req
391. What is going on?
Copy !req
392. Schmooze someone for me.
Copy !req
393. He's Carl Everett, and he's raised
a ton of money for us in the Midwest.
Copy !req
394. Carl, I'd like you to meet...
Copy !req
395. Toby Ziegler, Sam Seaborn,
and Joshua Lyman.
Copy !req
396. - Our reputations precede us.
- They ought to. You do fine work.
Copy !req
397. - Excuse me.
- How long you in town, Mr. Everett?
Copy !req
398. Just for the night.
Let me introduce my date. Brittany?
Copy !req
399. This is Brittany.
This is...
Copy !req
400. - Toby Ziegler.
- Josh Lyman.
Copy !req
401. - Sam Seaborn.
- Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
402. We're gonna head over.
Copy !req
403. - Maybe I'll talk with you all later.
- Great.
Copy !req
404. - Have a good time.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
405. Charlie! Your grandparents
are in a shelter in Granville.
Copy !req
406. Thank God.
How long do they have to stay?
Copy !req
407. People are being sent
back right now.
Copy !req
408. The hurricane shifted direction.
It's moving to the Atlantic.
Copy !req
409. - What's happening?
- A new situation.
Copy !req
410. It's moving east.
What kind of situation?
Copy !req
411. There's a fleet of ships out there.
Copy !req
412. - Oh, God.
- Do you know about this?
Copy !req
413. They evacuated a carrier
group this morning...
Copy !req
414. as a safety precaution.
Copy !req
415. They're in the path of the hurricane.
Copy !req
416. - Can they get out?
- It's 600 miles wide.
Copy !req
417. They're locked in.
How bad can this get?
Copy !req
418. - Catastrophic.
- What do you want to do?
Copy !req
419. - Let's do this and then get ready.
- I should start now.
Copy !req
420. I don't want to tip the press.
Let's go to a party.
Copy !req
421. Appreciate your call.
Thank you.
Copy !req
422. I'm not hearing anything from
the FBI or from Justice.
Copy !req
423. I can't get information out of Idaho.
Copy !req
424. - It's over.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
425. That was Chafey. They took the house,
34 occupants, all in custody.
Copy !req
426. What happened?
Copy !req
427. They shot the FBI negotiator.
He's in critical condition.
Copy !req
428. Ladies and gentlemen,
President and Mrs. Bartlet...
Copy !req
429. accompanied by
President and Mrs. Rahm Siguto.
Copy !req
430. I should call... Get on the phone.
Copy !req
431. I'm gonna throw up.
Copy !req
432. - Without warning?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
433. It shifted direction with no warning?
Copy !req
434. - It's not an anomaly, but it's unusual.
- I would think.
Copy !req
435. How big is this carrier group?
How many men, how many ships?
Copy !req
436. It has the carrier
John F. Kennedy...
Copy !req
437. which carries 5000 men,
two guided missile cruisers...
Copy !req
438. two destroyers and two
battleships. Over 12,000 men.
Copy !req
439. - How soon before the worst starts?
- About 20 minutes.
Copy !req
440. Can I speak with the fleet commander?
Copy !req
441. We can set a hookup right here.
Copy !req
442. - Do it.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
Copy !req
443. Thank you.
Copy !req
444. - Any word on the FBI guy's condition?
- They're prepping him for surgery.
Copy !req
445. What do I do now?
Copy !req
446. Go back to the party.
Copy !req
447. Mr. Gomez.
Copy !req
448. You speak Batak, is that correct?
Copy !req
449. And, as you just did,
you also speak Portuguese.
Copy !req
450. But not English.
Copy !req
451. Those are tough languages.
Copy !req
452. You may want to try English one
day, seeing how you live here.
Copy !req
453. Don't translate that.
Copy !req
454. Mr. Bambang, thank you for agreeing
to meet with me today.
Copy !req
455. "You're welcome. "
Copy !req
456. Sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
457. I'm Josh Lyman.
Copy !req
458. This is gonna take a while.
Copy !req
459. - "Pleased to meet you. "
- Enjoying the evening?
Copy !req
460. This isn't the best
kind of thing for chitchat.
Copy !req
461. - Mandy's upset.
- You talk to her?
Copy !req
462. - I didn't do a great job.
- "I didn't like the salmon. "
Copy !req
463. He's answering a question
from half an hour ago.
Copy !req
464. - Mr. Bambang...
- Why don't we just speak in English?
Copy !req
465. I was told... You should keep
in mind all the things I do right.
Copy !req
466. - Should I go?
- Yes.
Copy !req
467. Mr. Gomez, Mr. Minaldi,
thank you for your trouble.
Copy !req
468. What can I do for you, gentlemen?
Copy !req
469. A friend of mine's in one of your
jails. I want you to let him out.
Copy !req
470. - But your friend isn't an American.
- He's French.
Copy !req
471. Why not let the French
take care of it?
Copy !req
472. He's my friend and
the French don't care.
Copy !req
473. - The extradition process is...
- We don't mean that.
Copy !req
474. You unlock the cell, put him in a car,
and drive him to the border.
Copy !req
475. He led demonstrations.
Copy !req
476. - He teaches students how to protest.
- So you're asking as a favor.
Copy !req
477. Senior aide to senior aide.
Copy !req
478. - Yes.
- I think you have a lot of nerve.
Copy !req
479. That was a humiliating toast
your president made...
Copy !req
480. and I know you were
the one who wrote it.
Copy !req
481. Understand that with so many
people watching, so much coverage...
Copy !req
482. we had to be clear that the U.S...
Copy !req
483. with its commitment
to human rights, is obligated...
Copy !req
484. Don't you find it
hypocritical that a people...
Copy !req
485. who wiped out a century's
worth of Native Americans...
Copy !req
486. should lecture the world
so earnestly on human rights?
Copy !req
487. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
488. You humiliated my president tonight,
for no other reason than to show off.
Copy !req
489. Now you want me to do you a favor?
Copy !req
490. Go to hell.
Copy !req
491. - We'll talk to the French.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
492. We'll talk to the French.
Copy !req
493. That's a nice dress.
Copy !req
494. You're not supposed to be here.
Copy !req
495. KDHN reports an FBI agent went
down in a raid in McClane.
Copy !req
496. - Statement in 15 minutes.
- What happened?
Copy !req
497. Did you hear me say 15 minutes?
Copy !req
498. What did I do?
Copy !req
499. Do you flirt with me to get stories?
Copy !req
500. I'm doing it to flirt with you.
Copy !req
501. - I don't believe you.
- That's your problem.
Copy !req
502. What's Sara gonna hit?
Copy !req
503. You say I'm too friendly with press,
and I'm a weak press secretary.
Copy !req
504. I never said you're weak.
Copy !req
505. - You thought it.
- You did well with the vermeil.
Copy !req
506. - You're doing it.
- I know.
Copy !req
507. - I have work to do.
- No problem.
Copy !req
508. You really like the dress?
Copy !req
509. Yes.
Copy !req
510. All right, whatever.
Copy !req
511. - I hope the FBI guy pulls through.
- Fifteen minutes.
Copy !req
512. To accept these policies...
Copy !req
513. would weaken our
ability to represent...
Copy !req
514. or retain younger workers,
and we won't let it happen.
Copy !req
515. - I disagree.
- No kidding.
Copy !req
516. - How we doing?
- We're at an impasse.
Copy !req
517. Hungry? Tired? Talk to me five minutes
apiece and we'll settle this.
Copy !req
518. Stay standing.
Copy !req
519. - Have you got just a minute?
- Sure.
Copy !req
520. - Can I cut to the last page?
- Sure.
Copy !req
521. You're someone
I could have a relationship with.
Copy !req
522. - A relationship with me?
- What do you say?
Copy !req
523. I cost $500 an hour.
Copy !req
524. In the private sector,
I cost $500 an hour.
Copy !req
525. - I don't understand.
- Want some food?
Copy !req
526. There's Todd. Excuse me.
Copy !req
527. - I didn't know.
- What?
Copy !req
528. - I didn't know where he was taking me.
- He just tells you what to wear.
Copy !req
529. - That's great.
- This isn't exactly your business.
Copy !req
530. I'm not here for you.
I'd be here whether you were or not.
Copy !req
531. You're just some guy
who happens to know me.
Copy !req
532. - Thanks.
- You know what I mean.
Copy !req
533. Talk about being here and not being
here till blood pours out my ears.
Copy !req
534. - Good evening.
- Are you enjoying yourself?
Copy !req
535. Yes.
Copy !req
536. Won't you introduce me?
Copy !req
537. - Okay.
- Mrs. Bartlet, I'm Brittany Rollins.
Copy !req
538. - Abigail Bartlet.
- It's an honor.
Copy !req
539. You're sweet. Sorry to interrupt.
I'm looking for the president.
Copy !req
540. He's in the West Wing.
I'm not sure why, but I can...
Copy !req
541. - To pistol-whip the trucking industry.
- Why would he...?
Copy !req
542. Because he can't save a gunshot victim
or stop a hurricane.
Copy !req
543. - You are thoroughly charming.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
544. - Excuse me.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
545. That was incredible.
Copy !req
546. I'm just gonna eat, if that's okay.
Copy !req
547. I'll give you $10,000
not to go home with him tonight.
Copy !req
548. An inflationary surge would wreak
havoc on economic policies...
Copy !req
549. - ... that allow the U.S. to enjoy...
- Time's up.
Copy !req
550. I didn't get my full five minutes.
Copy !req
551. I got tired of listening.
Now you listen.
Copy !req
552. I have a Nobel Prize in economics.
None of you have a clue.
Copy !req
553. At 12:01 a.m., I'm using my executive
power to nationalize trucking.
Copy !req
554. - You can't.
- Fourteen of my lawyers disagree.
Copy !req
555. - Truman did it.
- The Supreme Court struck it down.
Copy !req
556. New bench. I'll take my chances.
Copy !req
557. As for labor, I'm calling Congress
into session...
Copy !req
558. to give me power to draft truckers.
Copy !req
559. You're gonna love our food.
Nice talking to you folks.
Copy !req
560. If this isn't settled in 47 minutes,
we know where to find you.
Copy !req
561. I shouldn't have stayed away so long.
Copy !req
562. - I'm all right.
- I shouldn't have extended the trip.
Copy !req
563. I approved a plan
for an FBI negotiator.
Copy !req
564. - I know.
- He's in surgery now.
Copy !req
565. One of the things that happens
when I stay away...
Copy !req
566. is that you forget you don't have
the power to fix everything.
Copy !req
567. You have a big brain
and a good heart...
Copy !req
568. and an ego the size of Montana.
Copy !req
569. You do, Jed.
Copy !req
570. You don't have the power
to fix everything.
Copy !req
571. But I do like watching you try.
Copy !req
572. What the hell...?
Copy !req
573. If this isn't a metaphor for
powerlessness, I don't know what is.
Copy !req
574. We better get back to work.
Copy !req
575. - Sir?
- We got the commander?
Copy !req
576. Radios are down on the JFK...
Copy !req
577. along with the
Normandy and South Carolina.
Copy !req
578. We've got the Hickory...
Copy !req
579. a maintenance and supply boat
that sails with the fleet.
Copy !req
580. So I'll talk to the
captain of the Hickory?
Copy !req
581. The intercom's out.
They're looking for him on foot, sir.
Copy !req
582. - Is someone there?
- Kid in the radio shack.
Copy !req
583. - You're kidding.
- No, sir.
Copy !req
584. Talk to the boy.
Copy !req
585. - Hello, anyone there?
- This is the USS Hickory.
Copy !req
586. This is the White House.
Who is this?
Copy !req
587. This is signalman third class
Harold Lewis.
Copy !req
588. Son, this is President Bartlet.
Copy !req
589. Hello?
Copy !req
590. - Yes, sir.
- Is your C.O. around?
Copy !req
591. Sir, they're getting him
right now, sir.
Copy !req
592. Can I talk to you in the meantime?
Copy !req
593. - Yes, sir.
- Are you all right, Harold?
Copy !req
594. I hit my head on... I hit my head.
Copy !req
595. - Are you bleeding?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
596. - Can you put something on it?
- I need to get to the other...
Copy !req
597. I can't reach it.
Copy !req
598. You go over and get it.
I'll stay right here.
Copy !req
599. Harold, are you back?
Copy !req
600. Yes, sir. The skipper
should be here any minute.
Copy !req
601. - Can you tell us what's going on?
- Well...
Copy !req
602. We're here.
Can you tell us what's going on?
Copy !req
603. We're looking at 80-foot seas
with winds up to 120 knots...
Copy !req
604. we have solid green water
over the bow...
Copy !req
605. and we've got a fire
in the engine room.
Copy !req
606. We lost our running lights
and may get run over...
Copy !req
607. by an aircraft carrier
that can't see in the dark.
Copy !req
608. I don't know, man.
Sounds pretty bad.
Copy !req
609. I think I'd ask for my money back.
Copy !req
610. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
611. I'm gonna stay right here
while the radio works, okay?
Copy !req
612. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
613. Hang on.
Copy !req
