some questions, sir.Copy !req
186. Do you have
any medical conditions?Copy !req

188. Good evening,
Mrs. Landingham.Copy !req
189. Good evening, Margaret.Copy !req
190. The President's
not back yet?Copy !req
191. I imagine he's schmoozing
the rope line.Copy !req
192. You know, he says he's
coming straight backCopy !req
193. but he can't resist
a rope line.Copy !req
194. Never has. Oh, he'll complain,
but he just can't resist it.Copy !req
195. I remember a time
in the Governor's MansionCopy !req

320. On my count:
One, two, three!Copy !req
321. Josh, a bullet
collapsed your lung.Copy !req
322. I'm putting in a tube
to re-expand it.Copy !req
323. We've got blood

330. Social Security...Copy !req
331. Social Security is
the black hole
of national politics.Copy !req
332. Josh, was cutting me offCopy !req
333. because he knew I was
going to say thatCopy !req
334. and he knew I was
going to say thatCopy !req
335. because I have said it what?Copy !req
336. A few hundred
times, Senator.Copy !req
337. It is the black hole
of national politicsCopy !req
338. and I would just as soon
not get lost in itCopy !req
339. 13 weeks before
the New Hampshire primary.Copy !req
340. It is the third rail.Copy !req
341. You step on it and you die.Copy !req
342. Of the 537
federal elected
officialsCopy !req
343. there are 30 who've
put their namesCopy !req
344. on Social Security
reform legislation and
you're one of them.Copy !req
345. Why not say so?Copy !req
346. He will say so. Just not now.Copy !req
347. Mark, at $400 billionCopy !req
348. Social Security represents
one-fourthCopy !req
349. of the federal budget,
and it will be bankrupt
in exactly 17 yearsCopy !req
350. right around the timeCopy !req
351. you're going
to check your mailbox.Copy !req
352. Half of the elderly
populationCopy !req
353. will be living in poverty.Copy !req
354. This now qualifies
as a priorityCopy !req
355. and running for President
of the United StatesCopy !req
356. without putting
Social Security
front and centerCopy !req
357. is like running for president
of the Walt Disney corporationCopy !req
358. by saying you're going
to fix the rides at EPCOT.Copy !req
359. We're going to get
to Social Security, Josh.Copy !req
360. It's a long campaign.Copy !req
361. For now, we focus
on the tax cuts.Copy !req
362. It's what magicians call
"misdirection."Copy !req
363. Really? Because it's what
the rest of us call bull...Copy !req
364. Knock it off.Copy !req
365. I have a vote.Copy !req
366. The rest of you
should stay hereCopy !req
367. and work
on the ethanol tax credit.Copy !req
368. Josh, come with me,
would you?Copy !req
369. You don't seem to be
having a very good
time lately.Copy !req
370. I don't think the
point of this
is for me to have...Copy !req
371. No, I'm saying you've
been pissed offCopy !req
372. at every meeting
for a month.Copy !req
373. Senator, you're
the prohibitive favoriteCopy !req
374. to be the Democratic Party's
nominee for President.Copy !req
375. You have $58 million
in a war chestCopy !req
376. with no end in sight
and I don't know
what we're for.Copy !req
377. Josh...
I don't know
what we're for.Copy !req
378. I don't know what
we're againstCopy !req
379. except we seem
to be for winningCopy !req
380. and against somebody else
winning.Copy !req
381. It's a start.
Senator...Copy !req
382. Josh, we're going
to run a good campaign.Copy !req
383. You're going to be
very proud of itCopy !req
384. and when we get
to the White HouseCopy !req
385. you're going to play
a big role.Copy !req
386. In the meantime,
cheer upCopy !req
387. and get off my ass
about Social Security.Copy !req
388. I've got a vote.Copy !req
389. Josh.
Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
390. I hope you don't mind
I didn't make an appointment.Copy !req
391. I'm trying to fly
under the radar a little.Copy !req
392. No, of course I don't mind,
but the SenatorCopy !req
393. just went down to the floor
for a vote.Copy !req
394. That's probably the annual
vote to override the vetoCopy !req
395. on the resolution to ship
nuclear waste to Nevada.Copy !req
396. Yeah.Copy !req
397. It won't pass.Copy !req
398. No kidding.Copy !req
399. Actually, I came
to see you.Copy !req
400. Really?
Yeah.Copy !req
401. What can I do for you?Copy !req
402. You mind if we
take a walk?Copy !req
403. Sure.Copy !req
404. I heard your dad was
in the hospital again.Copy !req
405. Yeah, they think they
got it all this time.Copy !req
406. Is he taking it easy?Copy !req
407. No. He goes to the office
at 7:00 every morningCopy !req
408. comes home at
8:00 every night.Copy !req
409. On the weekends he
cleans the guttersCopy !req
410. and yells at
the squirrels.Copy !req
411. Why does he yell
at the squirrels?Copy !req
412. Because they eat
the seedsCopy !req
413. out of the bird feeder.Copy !req
414. They make a thing now...Copy !req
415. He knows,
but he prefers
to admonish them.Copy !req
416. Listen, I need to get back
to this meeting.Copy !req
417. Josh, I'd like you
to come to Nashua,
New HampshireCopy !req
418. Thursday night
and hear Jed
Bartlet speak.Copy !req
419. I work for Senator Hoynes.Copy !req
420. Yeah.Copy !req
421. Mr. Secretary...Copy !req
422. I'm not in the Cabinet
anymore. Call me Leo.Copy !req
423. Look, Hoynes has
the nomination sewn up.Copy !req
424. Yeah.Copy !req
425. If Bartlet's looking
to beCopy !req
426. Treasury SecretaryCopy !req
427. or a slot at the convention,
this really isn't...Copy !req
428. Come to Nashua
Thursday night.Copy !req
429. Why?Copy !req
430. Because that's whatCopy !req
431. sons do for old friends
of their father's.Copy !req
432. I'll see you then.Copy !req
433. Mr. Secretary...
Leo.Copy !req
434. Leo, the Democrats aren't
going to nominateCopy !req
435. another liberal academic
former governorCopy !req
436. from New England.Copy !req
437. I mean, we're dumb,
but we're not that dumb.Copy !req
438. Nah, I think
we're exactly that dumb.Copy !req
439. Yeah, Janet, I need youCopy !req
440. to set up some train tickets
for me.Copy !req
441. Uh, make it tomorrow
to New YorkCopy !req
442. and then on up to Boston.Copy !req
443. $18 million is
a cheap price, isn't it?Copy !req
444. Yes, it is.Copy !req
445. What you're happy about
isn't the price.Copy !req
446. It's the structure
of the deal.Copy !req
447. Well, how do you
figure that?Copy !req
448. Sam's going
to tell you about it. Sam.Copy !req
449. Hmm?Copy !req
450. Structure versus cost.Copy !req
451. Uh, yeah. What Jack means
is thatCopy !req
452. if you were getting
the tankersCopy !req
453. for a buck 85
and trading stampsCopy !req
454. it'd still be a bad dealCopy !req
455. if we didn't limit
your liability.Copy !req
456. And did you do that?Copy !req
457. We did.
How?Copy !req
458. The same way we do
with any other
asset acquisition—Copy !req
459. create a separate
corporation for
each one of themCopy !req
460. then mortgage the boats
top to bottom.Copy !req
461. Ships.Copy !req
462. I'm sorry?Copy !req
463. Oil tankers aren't
boats, they're ships.Copy !req
464. Mr. Cameron, you want
me to buy the boats.Copy !req
465. You're not asking me
to be the first mate, right?Copy !req
466. No.Copy !req
467. You want to finance
the tankers 100%Copy !req
468. so that if litigation does
penetrate the liability shield
we set up for youCopy !req
469. there are no real assets at the
end of the line, just debt.Copy !req
470. You're judgment-proof.Copy !req
471. Let me run back to my office
and get the tax figuresCopy !req
472. while David and Rita talk
about IMO regulations.Copy !req
473. Sam, there's a guy
waiting in your officeCopy !req
474. who said he's
a friend of yours.Copy !req
475. What's his name?Copy !req
476. Josh Lyman.Copy !req
477. Seriously?
Yeah.Copy !req
478. Hey, how you doing?Copy !req
479. Hey, you look fit.Copy !req
480. You made partner?Copy !req
481. Next month.
Listen, I'm hungry.Copy !req
482. You want to go get
a hot dog or something?Copy !req
483. It's 9:30
in the morning.Copy !req
484. Yeah, they'll be
fresh. Come on.Copy !req
485. Okay.Copy !req
486. I was going to callCopy !req
487. before I came hereCopy !req
488. but then the strangest
thing happened.Copy !req
489. What?Copy !req
490. I forgot the name
of your firm.Copy !req
491. Gage Whitney.
Yeah.Copy !req
492. You couldn't remember
Gage Whitney?Copy !req
493. The second biggest
law firm in New York?Copy !req
494. I know.Copy !req
495. We did the Shearson deal.Copy !req
496. Yeah.Copy !req
497. I really do know
Gage Whitney.Copy !req
498. I'm saying I'm having
a brain problem.Copy !req
499. What are you
doing in town?Copy !req
500. I'm on my way
to Nashua.Copy !req
501. What's in Nashua?Copy !req
502. A waste of time.Copy !req
503. Listen, you know
why I'm here?Copy !req
504. You want me to quit
my jobCopy !req
505. and come work for Hoynes.Copy !req
506. He's going
to win, Sam.Copy !req
507. So, what does
he need me for?Copy !req
508. A better campaign.Copy !req
509. Come do some
speech writing.Copy !req
510. Lisa and I are
getting married in September.Copy !req
511. Ah.Copy !req
512. Yeah.Copy !req
513. Okay.Copy !req
514. Listen, I got to go.Copy !req
515. I should let you...Copy !req
516. I got to get back
to this thing.Copy !req
517. It's good seeing
you again.Copy !req
518. It's good seeing you, too.
I miss you.Copy !req
519. Hey, congratulations
on the partnership.Copy !req
520. Josh.Copy !req
521. Hoynes.Copy !req
522. He's not the real thing, is he?Copy !req
523. See, the thing you got
to know about Hoynes is...Copy !req
524. It's okay.Copy !req
525. No, I'm saying...Copy !req
526. Josh...Copy !req
527. What are you doing?Copy !req
528. I don't know.Copy !req
529. What are you doing?Copy !req
530. Protecting oil companies
from litigation.Copy !req
531. Okay.Copy !req
532. They're our client.Copy !req
533. They don't lose legal
protection because they
make a lot of money.Copy !req
534. I can't believe no one ever
wrote a folk song about that.Copy !req
535. If I see the real thing
in NashuaCopy !req
536. should I tell you about it?Copy !req
537. You won't have to.Copy !req
538. Why?Copy !req
539. You've got a pretty
bad poker face.Copy !req
540. Okay.Copy !req
541. Take it easy.Copy !req
542. Okay.Copy !req
543. I'm sorry.Copy !req
544. That's okay.Copy !req
545. I'm sorry.
I was just...Copy !req
546. George Washington
Emergency.Copy !req
547. We're not giving
any information.Copy !req
548. Dr. Bartlet?
Yes.Copy !req
549. The President's going
to be fine.Copy !req
550. Oh.Copy !req
551. You can see him
in the recovery roomCopy !req
552. in about two hours.Copy !req
553. Thank you.Copy !req
554. No organ damage?Copy !req
555. No, ma'am, and the
blood loss was minimal.Copy !req
556. Dr. Keller was able
to visualize the
entire abdomenCopy !req
557. and he's secureCopy !req
558. with the diagnostic
sensitivity of the
laparoscopy.Copy !req
559. What about Josh?Copy !req
560. The bullet lacerated
his pulmonary artery.Copy !req
561. Can they try
a Gortex graft?Copy !req
562. No. They're going
to have to stay inCopy !req
563. and try to repair
the artery primarily.Copy !req
564. Thank you.Copy !req
565. The President's going
to be fine.Copy !req
566. The bullet seems to have
gone out of its wayCopy !req
567. not to hit anything.Copy !req
568. Now, here's what's
happening with Josh.Copy !req
569. Thank you.Copy !req
570. What do you know?Copy !req
571. He'll be out of surgery
in about two hours.Copy !req
572. Fitzwallace is on a plane?Copy !req
573. He was on his way
to Manila.Copy !req
574. They turned around
and he'll be back
in about four hours.Copy !req
575. We've got
him by phone?
Yeah.Copy !req
576. Good evening.Copy !req
577. Good evening,
Mr. McGarry.Copy !req
578. Where's the National
Security Advisor?Copy !req
579. She's on her way, sir.Copy !req
580. So is the
Vice President.Copy !req
581. Good evening,
everybody.Copy !req
582. Mike, could you
have somebodyCopy !req
583. send over some clothes
from my office, please.Copy !req
584. I look like an idiot.Copy !req
585. Nancy, you've seen
the KH-10 pictures?Copy !req
586. Yeah.Copy !req
587. You know what they mean?Copy !req
588. Well, I wouldn't go that far.Copy !req
589. Good evening,
Mr. Vice President.Copy !req
590. Good evening, Nancy. Leo.Copy !req
591. Jack.Copy !req
592. Ten-Hut.Copy !req
593. No, as you were.Copy !req
594. It's, it's okay.Copy !req
595. Bobby, can you report
on domestic activity?Copy !req
596. Yes, Sir. There's not much.Copy !req
597. Air traffic control was down
for 22 minutes at Logan.Copy !req
598. CitiBank computers were offlineCopy !req
599. for a little more
than an hourCopy !req
600. and the lights
went outCopy !req
601. for seven minutes
at the Delta Center.Copy !req
602. Now, somebody tell
me, these shooters—Copy !req
603. they didn't have
a wallet on them?Copy !req
604. They didn't have
a driver's license?Copy !req
605. They didn't have anything
on them, Mr. Vice President.Copy !req
606. They knew we were going
to get them through the window.Copy !req
607. If this signal guy isn't
in custody in one hourCopy !req
608. I'm going to
federalizeCopy !req
609. the Virginia and Maryland
National Guard.Copy !req
610. It's worth mentioning
that at this momentCopy !req
611. we do not know the whereabouts
of about a half-dozenCopy !req
612. cell leaders,
including bin LadenCopy !req
613. but that's not
my concern right now.Copy !req
614. And what is your concern?Copy !req
615. Can we look at the KH-10s?Copy !req
616. I've seen them.Copy !req
617. I'm not worried about it.Copy !req
618. Leo, these images show
a sudden buildupCopy !req
619. of frontline
Republican Guard unitsCopy !req
620. along the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers.Copy !req
621. The buildup isn't sudden.Copy !req
622. They do it
every couple of months.Copy !req
623. And they're moving south.Copy !req
624. Not 13 hours ago, they shot down
an F-117 in the no-fly.Copy !req
625. The rescue mission
invaded their airspaceCopy !req
626. with armed M-50 Pave Hawks,
and my recommendation would beCopy !req
627. that the President
order FitzwallaceCopy !req
628. to put the 32nd Tactical
on Ready-AlertCopy !req
629. and take us
to DefCon-4.Copy !req
630. The President is under
general anesthesia right now.Copy !req
631. If he weren't, I'm sure
he'd be comforted by knowingCopy !req
632. that RDF can put Marines
on the ground in 36 hours.Copy !req
633. We may not have 36 hours.Copy !req
634. The Iraqi
Republican GuardCopy !req
635. can't find their car keys
in 36 hours.Copy !req
636. Look at the pictures,
Mr. Vice President.Copy !req
637. I think they found 'em.Copy !req
638. Nancy...Copy !req
639. we're going
to follow Leo for the moment.Copy !req
640. Jack, what's the best way
to get a message to Iraq?Copy !req
641. King of Jordan.Copy !req
642. Okay.Copy !req
643. Leo...Copy !req
644. What do you want
the message to be?Copy !req
645. Don't mess with us tonight.Copy !req
646. Uh... excuse me.Copy !req
647. We can't make you
very comfortable hereCopy !req
648. and Josh's procedure's likely
to take 12 to 14 hours, so...Copy !req
649. I'm sorry— they told meCopy !req
650. I should come
back here.Copy !req
651. I'm sorry.Copy !req
652. Is there word on the President?Copy !req
653. The President's
going to be fine.Copy !req
654. Oh, thank God.Copy !req
655. Oh, thank God— that's
the best news I've ever heard.Copy !req
656. I got here
as fast as I could.Copy !req
657. I had a hard time
getting in.Copy !req
658. I had to, I had to find
an agent who knew meCopy !req
659. and I was shaking...
I didn't know...Copy !req
660. Donna.Copy !req
661. Josh was hit.Copy !req
662. Hit with what?Copy !req
663. He was shot— in the chest.Copy !req
664. C.J.:
He's in surgeryCopy !req
665. right now.Copy !req
666. I don't understand.Copy !req
667. I don't understand. Is...Copy !req
668. Is it serious?Copy !req
669. Yes, it's critical.Copy !req
670. The bullet collapsed
his lung and damagedCopy !req
671. a major artery.Copy !req
672. I was just saying, we can'tCopy !req
673. make you very
comfortable hereCopy !req
674. and the procedure's likely
to take 12 to 14 hours.Copy !req
675. We won't know anything
until morning.Copy !req
676. I'm sure there are thingsCopy !req
677. you're supposed to be
attending to right nowCopy !req
678. so, if you like,
we can stay in touch with youCopy !req
679. at your homes and offices
throughout the night.Copy !req
680. Leo's going to meet
with the leadershipCopy !req
681. in ten minutes.Copy !req
682. When he's done,
I'll talk to the press.Copy !req
683. I'm going to go back
to the residenceCopy !req
684. and pick up some things
for the President.Copy !req
685. When can we talk
to the medical team?Copy !req
686. Benjamin Keller,
the Chief SurgeonCopy !req
687. and Admiral Jarvis, the
President's personal physicianCopy !req
688. will be made available
for a debriefing in a few hours.Copy !req
689. Has there been
any discussionCopy !req
690. of the 25th Amendment?Copy !req
691. No.Copy !req
692. C.J.!Copy !req
693. Why not?
I'm sorry?Copy !req
694. Why hasn't there been
a discussion?Copy !req
695. Danny, as I've said before,
the President's woundsCopy !req
696. are relatively
superficial.Copy !req
697. He'll be out of surgery
before morningCopy !req
698. and he's expected to make
a full and speedy recovery.Copy !req
699. Anything on
the identityCopy !req
700. of the shooters?Copy !req
701. I'm sorry?Copy !req
702. Anything on
the shooters?
Not yet.Copy !req
703. A.P. is reporting
that two bodies were brought outCopy !req
704. of the office
building.Copy !req
705. I don't have anything
for you on that.Copy !req
706. They're also reporting
that there is nowCopy !req
707. a massive manhunt underwayCopy !req
708. for a possible third accomplice
on the ground.Copy !req
709. I don't have
anything for you
on that either.Copy !req
710. C.J.! C.J.! C.J.!Copy !req
711. Can-can you tell us why the A.P.
knows more than you do you?Copy !req
712. I don't believe they do know
more than I do.Copy !req
713. I just believe they're willing
to tell you more than I am.Copy !req
714. C.J.! C.J.!Copy !req
715. One more question.
Arthur?Copy !req
716. In previous administrationsCopy !req
717. the President entered and exited
public buildingsCopy !req
718. under a tent or a canopy,
the Secret Service wantingCopy !req
719. to limit his
visibility
in open air.Copy !req
720. Can you talk at allCopy !req
721. about why this
precaution
isn't takenCopy !req
722. for President BartletCopy !req
723. or at least
why it wasn't tonight?Copy !req
724. Arthur, it's policy
not to commentCopy !req
725. on protection procedures.Copy !req
726. If you won't answer
straightforward questions...Copy !req
727. Arthur...
Is there anythingCopy !req
728. you can tell us?Copy !req
729. I'm sorry?Copy !req
730. Is there anything you know?Copy !req
731. Is there anything
you can tell us?Copy !req
732. I'll be back for a briefingCopy !req
733. in an hour
and a half.Copy !req
734. Hopefully, we'll
know more then.Copy !req
735. The Cabinet's meeting
in five minutes.Copy !req
736. What the hell
was that supposed to mean—Copy !req
737. "Since you can't seem
to give us answers"?Copy !req
738. You scratched
your neck.Copy !req
739. What?
The side of
your neck.Copy !req
740. I lost my necklace.Copy !req
741. It must have
come off when...Copy !req
742. When what?Copy !req
743. Somebody pushed me down.Copy !req
744. It must have come off
when somebody pushed me down.Copy !req
745. C.J.?
Yeah.Copy !req
746. I'm sorry, I'd like
to not be a reporterCopy !req
747. for a few minutes
and just...Copy !req
748. but you got to
answer my question.Copy !req
749. What was
the question?Copy !req
750. The President's been
under anesthesiaCopy !req
751. for more than an hour.Copy !req
752. He'll probably
be on a morphine
drip in post-op.Copy !req
753. Without the 25th,
who's in charge?Copy !req
754. The Vice President,
the Secretary of StateCopy !req
755. the National Security Advisor,
the Secretary of DefenseCopy !req
756. the Chairman
of the Joint ChiefsCopy !req
757. the White House
Chief of Staff...Copy !req
758. You just
named six people.
Who's in charge?Copy !req
759. The Canadians.
C.J...Copy !req
760. You understand I'm
talking about the
hockey team.Copy !req
761. Look...Copy !req
762. Just... give me
a little time.Copy !req
763. Fitzwallace agrees
with me, Nancy.Copy !req
764. Any upgrade in our
DefCon postureCopy !req
765. and the whole world's
going to wake upCopy !req
766. in the middle of the night.Copy !req
767. The world's awake, Leo.Copy !req
768. Look at the TV.
Look out the window.Copy !req
769. Now there was more
than one shooter.Copy !req
770. We think they had a guy
on the ground.Copy !req
771. If we think they had oneCopy !req
772. we have no reason to believe
they didn't have more than one.Copy !req
773. Somebody had to get him
into that office.Copy !req
774. This wasn't a lonely guyCopy !req
775. who lived with his cats.Copy !req
776. There was a plan, and one
of the things we have to assumeCopy !req
777. is that we are
under attack right now.Copy !req
778. In which case
the Vice PresidentCopy !req
779. should order the
32nd tacticalCopy !req
780. on a Ready-Alert,
and take us to DefCon-4.Copy !req
781. Counsel's office
isn't sure he can.Copy !req
782. Why not?Copy !req
783. He never signed a letter.Copy !req
784. What letter?
CustomarilyCopy !req
785. if the President's
going to beCopy !req
786. under a
general anesthetic...Copy !req
787. He's got to
sign a letterCopy !req
788. giving the Vice
President power?Copy !req
789. Absent the 25thCopy !req
790. the Constitution
doesn't give it to himCopy !req
791. unless the
President's dead.Copy !req
792. He's hemorrhaging,
and he's supposed
to draft a memo?Copy !req
793. Yeah.
C.J.:
I'm getting
questionsCopy !req
794. from Danny Concanon on it.Copy !req
795. It gets more complicated
if you'd readCopy !req
796. Section 202 of the National
Security Act of 1947.Copy !req
797. Let's assume I haven't.Copy !req
798. It says that
the SecretaryCopy !req
799. of Defense will be the principal
assistant to the PresidentCopy !req
800. on all matters relating
to the national security.Copy !req
801. What does
"principal assistant" mean?Copy !req
802. It doesn't specify.Copy !req
803. No, it wouldn'tCopy !req
804. because this is an
area of Federal lawCopy !req
805. where'd you want as much
ambiguity as possible.Copy !req
806. Yeah.
Excuse me.Copy !req
807. I'm going to go back
to the hospital.Copy !req
808. I'll be there
in a little bit.Copy !req
809. Try and hold Danny
off for a few hoursCopy !req
810. till the Counsel's office
tells us where we are.Copy !req
811. Yeah, listen...Copy !req
812. You scratched
your neck.
What?Copy !req
813. Your neck.Copy !req
814. Yeah, it's where
my necklace...Copy !req
815. Listen, Toby, they're asking me
about the canopyCopy !req
816. the Secret Service used to use
for outdoor entrances and exits.Copy !req
817. Who asked you?Copy !req
818. It was Arthur LeedsCopy !req
819. and then a couple of others
stopped me.Copy !req
820. Okay.Copy !req
821. We don't comment
on protection procedure so...Copy !req
822. Yeah.Copy !req
823. I don't think
I'll have to answer
the question.Copy !req
824. Yeah.Copy !req
825. Okay.Copy !req
826. See you at the hospital.Copy !req
827. Yeah.Copy !req
828. I need Section 202Copy !req
829. of the National Securities Act
of 1947.Copy !req
830. Hey, Ginger.Copy !req
831. I didn't know
you were here.Copy !req
832. I just got here.Copy !req
833. I just...Copy !req
834. I turned on the TV.Copy !req
835. It's okay.Copy !req
836. Come here.Copy !req
837. It's all right.Copy !req
838. It's okay.Copy !req
839. I'm sorry.Copy !req
840. You all right?Copy !req
841. Yeah.Copy !req
842. Ready to go to work?Copy !req
843. Yeah.Copy !req
844. You want another one of those?Copy !req
845. What?Copy !req
846. I didn't say anything.Copy !req
847. You want another
one of those?Copy !req
848. Yeah.Copy !req
849. I got to tell you.Copy !req
850. Yeah?Copy !req
851. I didn't even know
Bartlet was running.Copy !req
852. Yeah. We keep that secret
pretty good.Copy !req
853. You know, he's speaking
at the VFW hall tonight.Copy !req
854. You should come.Copy !req
855. I'm not very political.Copy !req
856. There'll be free chicken.Copy !req
857. You've been, uh, um,
what you call it?Copy !req
858. Professional
political operative.Copy !req
859. You've been one
your whole life?Copy !req
860. Well, there was a while there
I was in elementary school...Copy !req
861. Right.Copy !req
862. You any good at it?Copy !req
863. I'm very good at it.Copy !req
864. What's your record?Copy !req
865. My record?Copy !req
866. Yeah, how many elections
have you won?Copy !req
867. Altogether?Copy !req
868. Including City Council,
two Congressional racesCopy !req
869. a Senate race,
a Gubernatorial campaignCopy !req
870. and a national campaign...Copy !req
871. none.Copy !req
872. None of them?Copy !req
873. You got to be impressed
with my consistency.Copy !req
874. So let me ask
you something.Copy !req
875. Sure.Copy !req
876. How come you're drinking so much
so early in the day?Copy !req
877. I'm about to get fired.Copy !req
878. It was good meeting you.Copy !req
879. with overall consumer spendingCopy !req
880. than it does with
the consumer price index.Copy !req
881. The markets tend to be late
in responding to those trendsCopy !req
882. and, as a resultCopy !req
883. you can get what doctors would
call a "false positive."Copy !req
884. The science of economics
is a lot less an exact scienceCopy !req
885. than we pretend.Copy !req
886. We build complex modelsCopy !req
887. with thousands of interdependent
and independent variablesCopy !req
888. to predict exactly how
the economy will work.Copy !req
889. What's he going to say?Copy !req
890. About what?Copy !req
891. If he's asked the question.Copy !req
892. What question?Copy !req
893. The New England D.F.C.Copy !req
894. I don't know.Copy !req
895. You talked to him, didn't you?
Yeah.Copy !req
896. So what's he going to say?
I don't know.Copy !req
897. You talked to himCopy !req
898. about the New England D.F.C.
if he's asked?
Yes.Copy !req
899. You wrote him a memo?
Yes.Copy !req
900. And I'm asking,
"What's he going to say?"Copy !req
901. I have no
new informationCopy !req
902. since the last
time you asked
me that question.Copy !req
903. in an effort
to raise the minimum wage.Copy !req
904. Let me put it another way:Copy !req
905. You and your husband
are paying $600 moreCopy !req
906. every year than you would
if you were unmarriedCopy !req
907. living together, and
filing individually.Copy !req
908. And couples
who live togetherCopy !req
909. outside the covenant
of marriage do so...Copy !req
910. You told him to go aheadCopy !req
911. and piss off
the dairy farmers, didn't you?Copy !req
912. If he's asked about
the New England D.F.C.Copy !req
913. you told him
to piss off the dairy farmers.Copy !req
914. I asked him about
his vote.Copy !req
915. He told me.Copy !req
916. I said that if asked
about it tonightCopy !req
917. he should— if only
because it's the easiest
thing to remember—Copy !req
918. tell the truth.Copy !req
919. Do you enjoy losing?Copy !req
920. Not that much, no.Copy !req
921. But then again,
I really don't have a lotCopy !req
922. to compare it to, so...Copy !req
923. the bulk of other
previous lossesCopy !req
924. which in effect is
a much larger taxCopy !req
925. on overstated real profits.Copy !req
926. Yes.Copy !req
927. You really didn't understand
any of that, right?Copy !req
928. A little.Copy !req
929. Me, too. Yeah?Copy !req
930. Governor Bartlet, when you
were a member of CongressCopy !req
931. you voted against
the New EnglandCopy !req
932. Dairy Farming Compact.Copy !req
933. That vote hurt me, sir.Copy !req
934. I'm a businessman
and that vote hurt meCopy !req
935. to the tune of maybe
10 cents a gallon.Copy !req
936. And I voted for you
three times for Congressman.Copy !req
937. I voted for you
twice for GovernorCopy !req
938. and I'm here, sirCopy !req
939. and I'd like to ask you
for an explanation.Copy !req
940. Yeah. I screwed you on that one.Copy !req
941. I'm sorry?Copy !req
942. I screwed you.
You got hosed.Copy !req
943. Sir...
And not just youCopy !req
944. a lot of my constituents.Copy !req
945. I put the hammer to farms
in ConcordCopy !req
946. Salem, Laconia, Pelham,
Hampton, Hudson...Copy !req
947. You guys got Rogered but good.Copy !req
948. Today, for the first time
in historyCopy !req
949. the largest group of Americans
living in poverty are children.Copy !req
950. One in five children
live in the most abjectCopy !req
951. dangerous, hopelessCopy !req
952. back-breaking,
gut-wrenching povertyCopy !req
953. any of us could imagine.Copy !req
954. One in five.
And they're children.Copy !req
955. If fidelity to freedom
and democracyCopy !req
956. is the code of
our civic religionCopy !req
957. then surely the code of our
humanity is faithful serviceCopy !req
958. to the unwritten Commandment
that saysCopy !req
959. "We shall give our children
betterCopy !req
960. than we ourselves received."Copy !req
961. Let me put it this way:Copy !req
962. I voted against the billCopy !req
963. 'cause I didn't want
to make it harderCopy !req
964. for people to buy milk.Copy !req
965. I stopped some money from
flowing into your pocket.Copy !req
966. If that angers you,
if you resent meCopy !req
967. I completely respect that.Copy !req
968. But if you expect
anything differentCopy !req
969. from the President
of the United StatesCopy !req
970. you should vote
for someone else.Copy !req
971. Thanks very much, everybody.Copy !req
972. Hope you enjoyed the chicken.Copy !req
973. Jed, please.Copy !req
974. I want you to lie still
for a few hours.Copy !req
975. Mr. President...Copy !req
976. I want to see him.Copy !req
977. Is he okay?Copy !req
978. I told him about Josh.Copy !req
979. Please help me to the door.Copy !req
980. You should
stay in bed.Copy !req
981. Charlie brought me some clothes.
Please...Copy !req
982. let me see him.Copy !req
983. Okay.Copy !req
984. Just for a minute.
Great.Copy !req
985. What's next?Copy !req
986. The thing about
saying the name...Copy !req
987. I understand.Copy !req
988. If I could just
reframe the pointCopy !req
989. that Cal was making...Copy !req
990. I understood the point
that Cal was making.Copy !req
991. I was sitting next to him
when he made it.Copy !req
992. My ears are connected to my
brain just like everybody elseCopy !req
993. and I'm saying, "What's next?"Copy !req
994. Sir, not to put my head
in the lion's mouthCopy !req
995. but by repeating the name
of your opponent in publicCopy !req
996. you're essentially giving
him free advertising.Copy !req
997. Cal thinks you should
start referring to himCopy !req
998. as "my opponent"Copy !req
999. or "the other guy,"
"the other side."Copy !req
1000. I don't know,
maybe there areCopy !req
1001. other suggestions.Copy !req
1002. You want me to refer to
Senator John Hoynes of TexasCopy !req
1003. who at the moment
has a 48 point leadCopy !req
1004. for the Democratic nomination
as "the other guy"?Copy !req
1005. Sir...
You're not afraid
it's going to make meCopy !req
1006. look like I can't remember
his name?Copy !req
1007. No.
I am.Copy !req
1008. I think it's going
to make me look likeCopy !req
1009. I can't remember his name.Copy !req
1010. I think it's going
to make me look addled.Copy !req
1011. I think it's going
to make me look dotty.Copy !req
1012. And even if it
didn't make me look
like those thingsCopy !req
1013. it would remain
a stupid idea.Copy !req
1014. What's next?Copy !req
1015. Nothing? Excellent.Copy !req
1016. Okay, what's next?Copy !req
1017. Leo, we have to talk about
what happened tonight.Copy !req
1018. I thought he did well.Copy !req
1019. I'd like to have seen more
of those seats filled.Copy !req
1020. That's not what
I'm talking about.Copy !req
1021. What are you
talking about?Copy !req
1022. He's talking aboutCopy !req
1023. the Governor's
answer tonight.Copy !req
1024. I'm just guessing.Copy !req
1025. I'm pretty drunk.Copy !req
1026. I am talking about
the Governor's answer tonight.Copy !req
1027. But I'm also
talking aboutCopy !req
1028. every day there's some...Copy !req
1029. Look, Toby, we can
talk about thisCopy !req
1030. with you in the roomCopy !req
1031. or if you're more
comfortable we can...Copy !req
1032. Listen, I don't have time
to make people comfortable.Copy !req
1033. If a change
has to be madeCopy !req
1034. it has to be made.Copy !req
1035. Jerry, Cal, Mack,
Steve, you're fired.Copy !req
1036. What?Copy !req
1037. What?Copy !req
1038. No kidding, it's moving day.Copy !req
1039. I want TobyCopy !req
1040. the rest of you,
thanks very much.Copy !req
1041. Fellas, look at my face.Copy !req
1042. You're done.Copy !req
1043. Don't screw up.Copy !req
1044. It's freezing cold in October.Copy !req
1045. I don't know how
you people live here.Copy !req
1046. Did you just
fire Cal Mathis?Copy !req
1047. Yeah.
You fired him?Copy !req
1048. Yeah. And, uh, JerryCopy !req
1049. and Mack and Steve
and the other guy.Copy !req
1050. Is there anyone
you kept?Copy !req
1051. I kept Toby Ziegler.Copy !req
1052. You kept Toby Ziegler and
you fired everybody else?
Yeah.Copy !req
1053. Toby Ziegler's the only
person working for us
I don't knowCopy !req
1054. and he's the one
you kept?Copy !req
1055. Take him home,
would you?Copy !req
1056. Those were the
only people I knew.Copy !req
1057. Those people were worthless.Copy !req
1058. It's time we bring in
what we need.Copy !req
1059. So you made that
decision on your own?Copy !req
1060. Yeah. You know why?Copy !req
1061. 'Cause you're
a crappy politician.Copy !req
1062. I think you'll find
I'll be making a lot
of decisions on my ownCopy !req
1063. so start getting
used to it.Copy !req
1064. You know I got elected
to Congress by this state.Copy !req
1065. This state sent me
to Congress three timesCopy !req
1066. and then elected me
Governor.Copy !req
1067. All without your help.Copy !req
1068. Don't start.Copy !req
1069. No, seriously, that's a real
political accomplishmentCopy !req
1070. considering your family
founded this state.
Hey...Copy !req
1071. Were you even opposed in
any of those elections?Copy !req
1072. You got rid of all
the people I know.Copy !req
1073. Yeah.Copy !req
1074. Have a good night.Copy !req
1075. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
1076. You're a player.Copy !req
1077. You're bigger in
the party than I am.Copy !req
1078. Hoynes'd make you
National Chairman.Copy !req
1079. Leo, is this
one of the 12 steps?Copy !req
1080. Yeah, that's what it is.Copy !req
1081. Right after admitting that
we're powerless over alcoholCopy !req
1082. and that a higher power
can restore us to sanityCopy !req
1083. that's where you come in.Copy !req
1084. Leo...Copy !req
1085. Because I'm tired of it
year after year after yearCopy !req
1086. after year, having
to choose betweenCopy !req
1087. the lesser of who cares.Copy !req
1088. Of trying to get myself
excited about a candidateCopy !req
1089. who can speak in
complete sentences.Copy !req
1090. Of setting the bar so low
I can hardly look at it.Copy !req
1091. They say a good man can't
get elected President.Copy !req
1092. I don't believe that, do you?Copy !req
1093. And you think
I'm that man.Copy !req
1094. Yes.Copy !req
1095. Doesn't it matter
that I'm not as sure?Copy !req
1096. Nah.Copy !req
1097. "Act as if ye have faith and
faith shall be given to you."Copy !req
1098. Put another way,
fake it till you make it.Copy !req
1099. You did good tonight.Copy !req
1100. Yeah.Copy !req
1101. This is the time
of Jed Bartlet,
old friend.Copy !req
1102. You're gonna open
your mouth and lift
houses off the ground.Copy !req
1103. Whole houses clear
off the ground.Copy !req
1104. And it's unknown at this timeCopy !req
1105. whether or not the President,
before going under anesthesiaCopy !req
1106. signed a letter that would give
temporary custody...Copy !req
1107. staffers shuttling
back and forthCopy !req
1108. between the White House
and George Washington HospitalCopy !req
1109. where several thousand people
have begun to...Copy !req
1110. gather behind
the police barricadesCopy !req
1111. an impromptu vigil,
with prayers being madeCopy !req
1112. their collective breath
being held...Copy !req
1113. clearly, and, I think,
understandablyCopy !req
1114. are rocked on their heels at
this hour, to put it mildly.Copy !req
1115. Press Secretary C.J. Cregg
has appeared at her briefingsCopy !req
1116. to be shaken and withdrawn...Copy !req
1117. officials at George
Washington University Hospital.Copy !req
1118. And in the fourth hour
of a massive manhunt
for a third suspectCopy !req
1119. airports up and down the
Atlantic coast are closed.Copy !req
1120. National Guard units
in Maryland...Copy !req
1121. in Washington and Baltimore
report massive delaysCopy !req
1122. cancellations and closures at
major airports, rail stations...Copy !req
1123. bus stations and harbors.Copy !req
1124. Travelers are strongly advisedCopy !req
1125. to either wait
or take alternate...Copy !req
1126. two Navy carrier groupsCopy !req
1127. as well as the 32nd Marine
Tactical Division, have been putCopy !req
1128. on a state of heightened alert,
and AWACs...Copy !req
1129. Special Agent
Juan ButterfieldCopy !req
1130. head of the President's
Secret Service detailCopy !req
1131. who was shot in the hand during
the attack on the President.Copy !req
1132. Look what happened.Copy !req
