1. He's a lunatic.Copy !req
2. He's colorful.
He's certifiable.Copy !req
3. Who?
Lord John Marbury.Copy !req
4. You really going to let him
loose in the White HouseCopy !req
5. where there's
liquor and women?Copy !req
6. We can hide the womenCopy !req
7. but the man deserves a drink.Copy !req
8. Allow me to present myself.
Lord John Marbury.Copy !req
9. I was summoned
by your President.Copy !req
10. Yes. We've met
ten or 12 times.Copy !req
11. I'm Leo McGarry.Copy !req
12. I thought you were the butler.Copy !req
13. You're the one
who's been sayingCopy !req
14. we need
a radical approach.Copy !req
15. Yes, yes, I haveCopy !req
16. and I got shouted down
in every meeting.Copy !req
17. I prefer not
to paint a pictureCopy !req
18. in the interest
of great oratory.Copy !req
19. The year is one week oldCopy !req
20. the legislative session
hasn't begunCopy !req
21. and we can't put a fork
full of waffles in our mouthCopy !req
22. without coughing up
the ball.Copy !req
23. You got beat.
Yes.Copy !req
24. Figure it out; tell me
what you're going to do.Copy !req
25. Yeah.
Are we patched
into the Pentagon?Copy !req
26. Yeah.
We can hear them?Copy !req
27. We can hear
what they're
saying at Command?Copy !req
28. Yeah.Copy !req
29. Why can't
I hear anything?Copy !req
30. Guys, why aren't we
hearing anything?Copy !req
31. 15 seconds to target launch.Copy !req
32. Okay, why don't
you just tell me
to shut up?Copy !req
33. We have a target
launch sequence. Go flight.Copy !req
34. Kwajalein Atoll, how do you
read?Copy !req
35. We read you 5 by 5, Command.Copy !req
36. Positive target launch sequence.Copy !req
37. Here we go.Copy !req
38. Target launch in five...Copy !req
39. four, three...Copy !req
40. two...Copy !req
41. Target is aloft.Copy !req
42. We confirm target launch.Copy !req
43. How long do I have?
Two minutes, ten seconds.Copy !req
44. I'm going to seeCopy !req
45. if I can get the President
to watch this.Copy !req
46. Mr. Sumatra, I understand
you're a sports fan.Copy !req
47. Yes, sir, Mr. President. Golf.Copy !req
48. Okay, well, golf's not a sport.Copy !req
49. It's fine— don't get me wrong—Copy !req
50. but let's not you and I confuse
it with things that men do.Copy !req
51. Yes, sir.Copy !req
52. We're going to BangkokCopy !req
53. in June, I think.
June, Charlie?Copy !req
54. Yes, sir.
You're staying
at the Oriental.Copy !req
55. Best hotel
in the world, right?Copy !req
56. Your own James Michener
wrote many of his booksCopy !req
57. at the OrientalCopy !req
58. and one of his
typewriters remainsCopy !req
59. in the suite
they named for him.Copy !req
60. Is that right?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
61. Make sure I see that.Copy !req
62. Yes, sir.Copy !req
63. Tom?Copy !req
64. Mr. President,
it is with pleasureCopy !req
65. that I present
His ExcellencyCopy !req
66. Tada Sumatra
of ThailandCopy !req
67. and, by request of
the Secretary of StateCopy !req
68. ask that you accept
his credentialsCopy !req
69. from King Bhumibol AdulyadejCopy !req
70. as Thailand's Ambassador
to the United States.Copy !req
71. Mr. Sumatra,
I accept your
Letter of CredenceCopy !req
72. from King AdulyadejCopy !req
73. and, by affixing
my signature and sealCopy !req
74. do hereby declare you to beCopy !req
75. an Ambassador
Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary.Copy !req
76. May our people know
peace and prosperity.Copy !req
77. Congratulations.Copy !req
78. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
79. We've got some gifts,
and we'll stand
for pictures.Copy !req
80. Ambassador,
right here.Copy !req
81. Madam, congratulations.Copy !req
82. He's got about
another two minutesCopy !req
83. and then
I've got to pull him.Copy !req
84. Okay.Copy !req
85. Hey, Charlie,
is he done?Copy !req
86. He's got about
another two minutes.Copy !req
87. I'd like him in
the Situation Room.Copy !req
88. Can I pull him?Copy !req
89. Shall I tell him
it's an emergency?Copy !req
90. It's not
an emergencyCopy !req
91. just time-sensitive.Copy !req
92. Okay.Copy !req
93. What are
you looking at?Copy !req
94. You're testingCopy !req
95. that preposterous
contraption again.Copy !req
96. It's not
preposterousCopy !req
97. it's not
a contraptionCopy !req
98. and mind your
own business.Copy !req
99. In my day, we knew
how to protect ourselves.Copy !req
100. In your day, you
could pretty much
turn back the IndiansCopy !req
101. with a Daniel Boone
musket, couldn't you?Copy !req
102. Ah, sarcasm—
the grumpy man's wit.Copy !req
103. Sharpen a pencil,
would you?Copy !req
104. What's up?Copy !req
105. The target's
in the air.
They're goingCopy !req
106. to launch
the intercept
any moment.Copy !req
107. And I'm sure somebodyCopy !req
108. will come along soon thereafter
and tell me it didn't work.Copy !req
109. Why do you take
that attitude?Copy !req
110. 'Cause it's
not going to work.Copy !req
111. What do I get
if it works?Copy !req
112. Yes.
What do you get?Copy !req
113. Well, I can't make youCopy !req
114. Thailand's Ambassador
to the U.S.Copy !req
115. 'cause I just signed
that guy's letter.Copy !req
116. Come with me to
the Situation Room.Copy !req
117. You know what you are?Copy !req
118. You are the Charlie Brown
of missile defense.Copy !req
119. The Pentagon is Lucy.Copy !req
120. I'm not familiar
with the reference, sir.Copy !req
121. Peanuts—
Charlie Brown.Copy !req
122. I've heard of them.Copy !req
123. I'm just not
conversant in them.Copy !req
124. Why?
I've never read
the comics.Copy !req
125. Leo, were you born
at the age of 55?Copy !req
126. I know that
there's a dog.Copy !req
127. Charlie Brown wanted
to kick a footballCopy !req
128. and Lucy would hold itCopy !req
129. except she'd pull it
away at the last minuteCopy !req
130. and Charlie Brown
would fall on his butt.Copy !req
131. That's funny?Copy !req
132. No, but each timeCopy !req
133. Lucy would find a way
to convince Charlie BrownCopy !req
134. that this time she wouldn't
pull the ball awayCopy !req
135. but she would
and, once againCopy !req
136. Charlie Brown would
fall on his butt.Copy !req
137. And that's funny?
It's satirical.Copy !req
138. What's it satirizing?Copy !req
139. The DOD bringing you
to the Situation RoomCopy !req
140. every time they run
a new missile testCopy !req
141. so that you
can come tell me
how great it worksCopy !req
142. so I'll put money
in the NMD system.Copy !req
143. You should put money
in the NMD system.Copy !req
144. It doesn't work.Copy !req
145. It will work—
one day, soon.Copy !req
146. There are a couple
of three-star
generals in there.Copy !req
147. Call them Lucy and
you're on your own.Copy !req
148. Good morning,
Mr. President.Copy !req
149. Hey, where are we?Copy !req
150. The Kill Vehicle
is on a clear trajectory.Copy !req
151. What's its time
to the target?Copy !req
152. 50 seconds.Copy !req
153. Colonel, could you
walk the President through?Copy !req
154. Yes, sir.Copy !req
155. Mr. President,
approximately
three minutes agoCopy !req
156. a missile was launched
with a simulated
nuclear warheadCopy !req
157. from the Kwajalein Atoll
in the South Pacific.Copy !req
158. And it's going to hit my garage
in New Hampshire exactly when?Copy !req
159. Sir, once the missile
cleared cloud coverCopy !req
160. it was detected byCopy !req
161. the early warning
satellites, which
launched an interceptorCopy !req
162. or Kill Vehicle.Copy !req
163. Ten seconds to SRB sep.Copy !req
164. "SRB sep" is "Solid Rocket
Booster separation."Copy !req
165. That means the high-resolution
radar on the groundCopy !req
166. has gotten a "lock-on" signal
from the Kill Vehicle.Copy !req
167. Go SRB sep.Copy !req
168. Confirm Solid Rocket
Booster Separation.Copy !req
169. Kill Vehicle's away.Copy !req
170. 20 seconds to target intercept.Copy !req
171. Go Flight.Copy !req
172. So what happens now?Copy !req
173. In 20 seconds, it collides
with the nuclear warhead.Copy !req
174. Where?
Outer space.Copy !req
175. 17 miles above the
Earth's atmosphere.Copy !req
176. But we don't have anybody
out there right now, do we?Copy !req
177. Ten seconds to intercept.
Sir...Copy !req
178. When we stay at
the Oriental in BangkokCopy !req
179. we have to check out
James Michener's typewriter.Copy !req
180. Intercept in five...Copy !req
181. Here we go.Copy !req
182. three...Copy !req
183. two... one...Copy !req
184. Is that silence usually
a pretty good sign?Copy !req
185. No.Copy !req
186. Negative intercept.Copy !req
187. Have we got sensor readings?Copy !req
188. No.Copy !req
189. Negative intercept.Copy !req
190. KM warhead has overshot
its target.Copy !req
191. It was just enthusiastic.Copy !req
192. By how much?
Uh, Leo...Copy !req
193. By how much did it
miss the target?
Colonel?Copy !req
194. One-three-seven.Copy !req
195. We missed it by 137 feet?Copy !req
196. Miles.Copy !req
197. We missed it by 137 miles?Copy !req
198. When you consider
the size of outer space,
Leo, that's not so bad.Copy !req
199. Sir...
By the way, the words
you're looking for areCopy !req
200. "Oh, good grief."Copy !req
201. C.J.:
For those of you
who haven't seen itCopy !req
202. it's a very lovely ceremony.Copy !req
203. It's relatively informal.Copy !req
204. The ambassadors are led
into the Oval OfficeCopy !req
205. probably with a few friends
and family.Copy !req
206. They chat for a few moments
with the PresidentCopy !req
207. maybe exchange some gifts,
and they're officially presentedCopy !req
208. by the State Department's
Chief of ProtocolCopy !req
209. who asks the President to accept
the ambassador's credentialsCopy !req
210. and the President signs
a letter to that effect. Yes.Copy !req
211. C.J., you're accepting four
new ambassadors this week.Copy !req
212. Is there an order, a protocol,
in which they're seen?Copy !req
213. There is. It's the orderCopy !req
214. in which they arrived
in Washington.Copy !req
215. This morning, the President saw
Ambassador Sumatra of Thailand.Copy !req
216. Then it will be
Peter Hans of SwedenCopy !req
217. followed by Her Excellency
Renee Ernesto of ArgentinaCopy !req
218. Noah Jola of Burkina FasoCopy !req
219. and the newly named British
Ambassador to the United StatesCopy !req
220. will be arriving
in the United StatesCopy !req
221. just as soon as
he's been newly named.Copy !req
222. I thought it was
going to be...Copy !req
223. I've forgotten his name.
Anthony Bratt.Copy !req
224. Anthony Bratt cited
family obligations at homeCopy !req
225. and withdrew over the weekend.Copy !req
226. But weren't they going
to replace him with...Copy !req
227. Sir Christopher
Nealing-Roach, yes.Copy !req
228. No, Sir Christopher has been
diagnosed with a rare formCopy !req
229. of encephalitis
contracted duringCopy !req
230. his recent
posting to Kenya.Copy !req
231. So who's the new
British Ambassador?
I don't know.Copy !req
232. As soon as the State Department
tells me, I'll know.Copy !req
233. In the meantime,
it's pool photographs onlyCopy !req
234. until tomorrow night
when there'll beCopy !req
235. a cocktail reception
for the new ambassadors.Copy !req
236. That's all.Copy !req
237. Anybody want to know
who's been here the longest?Copy !req
238. The Dean of the Diplomatic
Corps? Anybody?Copy !req
239. Guys, you know, I study
these things just for you.Copy !req
240. It's Prince Bandar Bin
Sultan of Saudi Arabia.Copy !req
241. I could've also told
them that Burkina FasoCopy !req
242. has a population
of 11 millionCopy !req
243. and in even years, they host
Africa's largest crafts market.Copy !req
244. I need a chance to
use that knowledge.
Yes.Copy !req
245. C.J.Copy !req
246. Do you know the chief crops
of Burkina Faso?
No.Copy !req
247. Millet, sorghum, rice,
peanuts and cotton.Copy !req
248. You should mention in
your afternoon briefing
that we've acceptedCopy !req
249. a last-minute invitation
for the President to addressCopy !req
250. the Global Defense Council
tomorrow night at the Sheraton.Copy !req
251. I thought we passed
on the GDC.Copy !req
252. We passed on it
three months agoCopy !req
253. when we thought the
President was going
to be in South AmericaCopy !req
254. but the trip got
canceled and they lost
their keynote speakerCopy !req
255. so we're going to use
this to launch CARECopy !req
256. and that's what I want
you to announce at the
afternoon briefing.Copy !req
257. CARE?
Yeah.Copy !req
258. Okay.
Clean Air
Rehabilitation Effort.Copy !req
259. Yeah.
You don't know
what it is.Copy !req
260. The Clean Air
Rehabilitation Effort?
Yes.Copy !req
261. It's an effort by which...
Okay.Copy !req
262. we clean the air
and rehabilitate it.Copy !req
263. I'm not involved
in the nuances of
environmental policy.Copy !req
264. Which will come
as a relief to
environmentalists.Copy !req
265. Sam...
I'll brief you later.Copy !req
266. I knew the crops
of Burkina Faso.Copy !req
267. I'll brief you later.Copy !req
268. Have we heard from Toby?Copy !req
269. No.Copy !req
270. Do we know if he's landed?Copy !req
271. No.Copy !req
272. How's everybody doing in here?Copy !req
273. They're doing fine.Copy !req
274. Is global warming
a real environmental conditionCopy !req
275. or merely
a temporary anomaly?Copy !req
276. Is it a global threat or the
exaggerated claim of alarmists?Copy !req
277. The time for such debate
is over.Copy !req
278. As of today, it shall beCopy !req
279. the unequivocal position
of the United States governmentCopy !req
280. that global warming constitutes
a clear and present dangerCopy !req
281. to the health
and future well-beingCopy !req
282. of this planet
and all its inhabitants.Copy !req
283. Yes.
Did somebody get that?Copy !req
284. I didn't see anyone writing.Copy !req
285. You already wrote it.
I added a thing.Copy !req
286. We got it.
I added, "The time for
such debate is over."Copy !req
287. We got it.
It sets up the reveal.Copy !req
288. Yes.Copy !req
289. Okay, $22 trillion in benefitsCopy !req
290. versus a half a trillion
in compliance costs—Copy !req
291. we're making sure that's right
in a couple places?Copy !req
292. They're making sure.Copy !req
293. Three sources.Copy !req
294. And we don't know
if Toby's back?Copy !req
295. Sam, you'll know
as soon as he's back.Copy !req
296. Sam?
It is Toby?Copy !req
297. Yeah.
Can I have the phone?Copy !req
298. He's standing right there.Copy !req
299. Thanks.Copy !req
300. 22,000 fewer respiratory-related
hospital admissions.Copy !req
301. I don't want to use the stats
unless I have three sources.Copy !req
302. How was the trip?Copy !req
303. It was fine.Copy !req
304. What's going on?Copy !req
305. The President's
going to speakCopy !req
306. at the GDC conference
tomorrow night.Copy !req
307. I'm sorry?
He's going to...Copy !req
308. What are you
talking about?Copy !req
309. He's going
to launch CARE.Copy !req
310. Since when?
Their keynote speaker
fell through.Copy !req
311. When was this decision made?Copy !req
312. Last night.Copy !req
313. Why wasn't I involved?Copy !req
314. You were in Kansas City.
I have a telephone.Copy !req
315. Toby...
I have a damn
telephone, Sam.Copy !req
316. Frankly, I didn't think...Copy !req
317. I thought there'd be
a consensus.Copy !req
318. Who was at this meeting?Copy !req
319. Where?Copy !req
320. Where the decision was made.Copy !req
321. It was me, Carl Taub
of the EPA, Jane Ziskin...Copy !req
322. Toby, we've been looking for
an opportunity to launch...Copy !req
323. Leo wasn't there?
No.Copy !req
324. We've been looking for
a platform, the opportunity...Copy !req
325. I understand.
presented itself.
What's the problem?Copy !req
326. There are a number
of problemsCopy !req
327. any one of which
I could have told you aboutCopy !req
328. had you gotten me
on the phone.Copy !req
329. What's the problem?
For one thingCopy !req
330. we already blew off the AFL-CIOCopy !req
331. telling them the President was
going to be in South America.Copy !req
332. The President was
going to beCopy !req
333. in South America.
Now he's not.Copy !req
334. Instead, he's speaking
to labor's good friend,
the environmental lobby.Copy !req
335. Also, he's the President
of the United States.
He's nobody's understudy.Copy !req
336. You got him going out there
like Joey Bishop.Copy !req
337. I got to say,
I hear all thatCopy !req
338. but the President was
very enthusiastic.Copy !req
339. Of course he was enthusiastic.Copy !req
340. I'm saying I wasn't
in there twisting his arm.Copy !req
341. I told him
this opportunity had opened upCopy !req
342. we had enough notes so that I
could finish the speech in timeCopy !req
343. he asked us a few questions,
we answered them, he said yes.Copy !req
344. All right, all right.Copy !req
345. All right.Copy !req
346. It's going to be
a good speech.Copy !req
347. Yeah.Copy !req
348. They need you.Copy !req
349. Thanks.Copy !req
350. How was the trip?Copy !req
351. Fine.Copy !req
352. I need to see Leo.Copy !req
353. Yeah.Copy !req
354. C.J.:
It's not going to beCopy !req
355. Sir Christopher Nealing-Roach.
I heard.Copy !req
356. I said it's not going to be
Sir Christopher Nealing-Roach.
And I said I heard.Copy !req
357. But I like to say
"Sir Christopher Nealing-Roach."Copy !req
358. Who's it going to be?
I'm waiting to hear from someone
at the State Department.Copy !req
359. Me, too.
Maybe it'll be
Sir Christopher Nealing-Roach.Copy !req
360. Can I stop talking to you now?Copy !req
361. What are you doing?Copy !req
362. I'm standing with my back
straight against the wall.Copy !req
363. Why?Copy !req
364. I was told by doctorsCopy !req
365. it would relax me.Copy !req
366. Josh?Copy !req
367. Got to go.Copy !req
368. Yeah.Copy !req
369. Are you okay?Copy !req
370. Yeah. What?Copy !req
371. Is it true that Leo can't stand
a guy named Lord John Marbury?Copy !req
372. Why?
A reporter asked me.Copy !req
373. What's a reporter
doing talking to you?
It's a friend of a friend.Copy !req
374. Leo McGarry has nothing
but respect and affectionCopy !req
375. for John Marbury.
That's what I said.Copy !req
376. Leo thinks he's a lunatic.Copy !req
377. He's very handsome.Copy !req
378. That may be so, but Leo
thinks he's a lunatic.Copy !req
379. Are you threatened
by his brilliance?
No.Copy !req
380. You seem threatened
by his brilliance.Copy !req
381. How do you know he's brilliant?
I saw his picture.Copy !req
382. I'm not threatened
by his brillianceCopy !req
383. nor am I threatened
by his good looks.Copy !req
384. What about
his charm?
I'm not
threatened at all.Copy !req
385. I'm sorry. I meant Leo.Copy !req
386. Neither Leo or ICopy !req
387. are threatened by his brains,
his looks or his charm.Copy !req
388. He is, however, a lunatic BritCopy !req
389. and we're grateful
there's an ocean between us.Copy !req
390. There isn't anymore.Copy !req
391. There isn't what?Copy !req
392. An ocean between you.Copy !req
393. Please don't tell me...Copy !req
394. He's the new British Ambassador
to the United States.Copy !req
395. ( sighs ):
Yeah.Copy !req
396. Josh?Copy !req
397. Yeah.Copy !req
398. He's dreamy.Copy !req
399. I'm just going
to stand next
to the wallCopy !req
400. a little while longer.Copy !req
401. Okay.Copy !req
402. Josh?Copy !req
403. Okay, what I need
people to do is knock.Copy !req
404. I did knock.Copy !req
405. But you didn't wait
for a response.Copy !req
406. Why would I?Copy !req
407. Because I could
have been relaxingCopy !req
408. by standing
behind that door.Copy !req
409. All right.Copy !req
410. How was the trip?Copy !req
411. It was fine. So we're
pinch-hitting at the
GDC conference.Copy !req
412. For the record, I
didn't think it was
a good idea and I said so.Copy !req
413. And that seems
to have helped.Copy !req
414. Look, we can't appear to
be at the beck and call
of the environment.Copy !req
415. We could try
insulting them.Copy !req
416. Yes.Copy !req
417. I'm kidding.Copy !req
418. I'm not.Copy !req
419. We were invited.Copy !req
420. Don't care.Copy !req
421. What do you have?Copy !req
422. Environmental terrorists
burned down a ski resortCopy !req
423. and the GDC
didn't comment?Copy !req
424. Why did environmental
terrorists burn down
a ski resort?Copy !req
425. To save the lynx.Copy !req
426. The links?
Yep.Copy !req
427. Environmental terrorists
burned down a ski resortCopy !req
428. to save a golf course?Copy !req
429. It's an animal.Copy !req
430. Sam's going to have
strong objections.Copy !req
431. Yes, I know.Copy !req
432. You want me
to talk to Leo?Copy !req
433. I'm going to talk to him.Copy !req
434. I want you to talk to C.J.Copy !req
435. About what?Copy !req
436. The Will Rogers dinner
is going to askCopy !req
437. Cornelius Sykes
to host.Copy !req
438. You're kidding me.Copy !req
439. Nope.
He didn't laugh
at the joke.Copy !req
440. Yeah.
Talk to C.J.Copy !req
441. Why do you
relax by standing
behind a door?Copy !req
442. I'm not standing
behind the door.Copy !req
443. I'm standing with my
back straight against
the wall, so I...Copy !req
444. I don't care.Copy !req
445. Yeah.Copy !req
446. Keith, I...Copy !req
447. Keith, I can't
tell him that.Copy !req
448. I can't tell
the PresidentCopy !req
449. that nine out of ten things
went right.Copy !req
450. He's going to say, "Yeah,
but we didn't hit anything."Copy !req
451. Would you, please?Copy !req
452. Thank you.Copy !req
453. We had an NMD test
this morning.Copy !req
454. We were successful
on nine out of ten criteria.Copy !req
455. We missed?Copy !req
456. Yeah.Copy !req
457. By how much?Copy !req
458. We were trying
to shoot downCopy !req
459. an incoming Intercontinental
Ballistic Missile.Copy !req
460. Once you miss, it really
doesn't matter by how much.Copy !req
461. I suppose.Copy !req
462. 137 miles.Copy !req
463. Sam just told me
about the speech.Copy !req
464. Which speech?Copy !req
465. The GDC.Copy !req
466. Yeah.
Leo...Copy !req
467. How did...?
I wasn't
in the meeting.Copy !req
468. It happened fast.Copy !req
469. I'm saying...Copy !req
470. It happened fast.Copy !req
471. Sam pitched it
and the PresidentCopy !req
472. wanted to do it.Copy !req
473. How could you not
be in that meeting?Copy !req
474. 'Cause I'm trying to get
the President to warm upCopy !req
475. to a missile shield
that's supposed to save humanityCopy !req
476. and there is a limit
to the numberCopy !req
477. of rooms I can be in at once.Copy !req
478. You want to file
a complaint?Copy !req
479. No.Copy !req
480. Good.Copy !req
481. Here's what I think.Copy !req
482. Screw the environmental lobby?Copy !req
483. Did I say that?Copy !req
484. Did I say, "Screw
the environmental lobby"?Copy !req
485. You didn't say
anything.Copy !req
486. That right, and before
I even open my mouthCopy !req
487. you decide I'm going
to say, "Screw the... "Copy !req
488. I apologize.Copy !req
489. There's an extent to whichCopy !req
490. we've got to screw
the environmental lobby.Copy !req
491. Yeah.
A clear and public demonstration
that the President'sCopy !req
492. not beholden to them
isn't a bad idea right now.Copy !req
493. You think he should walk
into their ballroom and
smack them around?Copy !req
494. I really do, for 30 seconds
out of a 40-minute addressCopy !req
495. announcing an initiative
they love.Copy !req
496. How do you think they're going
to feel about the 30 seconds?Copy !req
497. Not that good, but
that's the point.Copy !req
498. We don't have
to move to our rightCopy !req
499. if there's an opportunity
to spank the people to our left.Copy !req
500. Anything in particular
we want to spank them for?Copy !req
501. Failing to publicly admonish
acts of eco-terrorism.Copy !req
502. The GDC doesn't engage
in acts of eco-terrorism.Copy !req
503. Yes, but they failCopy !req
504. to publicly admonish
those who do.Copy !req
505. For example?Copy !req
506. A $12-millionCopy !req
507. Colorado ski developmentCopy !req
508. that was under construction
was set on fireCopy !req
509. because it threatened the
habitat of a rare local lynx.Copy !req
510. Is a lynx a...?Copy !req
511. I don't know.Copy !req
512. I think it's likeCopy !req
513. a possum or
something.Copy !req
514. All right, tell Sam
to find a place to out it.Copy !req
515. I don't want it
in the advance textCopy !req
516. and I don't want Sam
and his 14 objections.Copy !req
517. It should just be a drop-in.Copy !req
518. I'll talk to the President.Copy !req
519. Anything else?Copy !req
520. 137 miles?Copy !req
521. Yeah.Copy !req
522. Is that a lot?Copy !req
523. Yeah.Copy !req
524. Okay.Copy !req
525. We have 30 minutes
at the ballroomCopy !req
526. after the speech to spinCopy !req
527. and obviously,
the next morning as well.Copy !req
528. Among the things you'll want
to be emphasizing are what?Copy !req
529. America is the biggest emitter
of carbon dioxide.Copy !req
530. We have four percent
of the population.Copy !req
531. We're responsible for 25%
of the greenhouse emissions.Copy !req
532. How are we going to reduce
those levelsCopy !req
533. of greenhouse emissions,
you ask?Copy !req
534. Through the Clean Air
Rehabilitation Effort.Copy !req
535. Yes, which you can read about
in bullet pointsCopy !req
536. beginning on page 11.
Please don't skip the footnotesCopy !req
537. and please don't just
read what's underlined.Copy !req
538. C.J.:
Question.
Yes.Copy !req
539. Did girls go out with you
in high school?Copy !req
540. Yes.
Really?Copy !req
541. Under these regulationsCopy !req
542. there will be a
cap on the volume
of carbon dioxideCopy !req
543. a company could emit in a year,
but what's the good news?Copy !req
544. If a company comes
in lower than the cap,
they can sell the balanceCopy !req
545. of their emissions
allowance to
another company.Copy !req
546. Creating what?
A cash incentive.Copy !req
547. A cash incentive.Copy !req
548. Can you tell us anything
else about that, C.J.?Copy !req
549. No, but I can tell you
that lumber, cocoa beansCopy !req
550. aluminum and petroleum products
are the major exportsCopy !req
551. of Cameroon.Copy !req
552. Then you're all set.
Yeah.Copy !req
553. Can I have her for a second?Copy !req
554. Yeah.
Why do you ask
him and not me?Copy !req
555. He looked in charge.Copy !req
556. Of where I go?
Can we please?Copy !req
557. Did you hear they named
John MarburyCopy !req
558. British Ambassador?Copy !req
559. Yes, I did.Copy !req
560. Lord John Marbury?Copy !req
561. I know. It's got to beCopy !req
562. like Davy Jones
is showing up.Copy !req
563. Don't make fun
of Davy Jones, all right?Copy !req
564. He once wrote me a letter.Copy !req
565. He took that kind of time,
and he still tours.Copy !req
566. Plus, my love
for John Marbury is real.Copy !req
567. It's not a schoolgirl crush.Copy !req
568. He calls me Principessa.Copy !req
569. Does he?
Yes.Copy !req
570. He calls Leo Gerald.Copy !req
571. He's eccentric.
Yeah.Copy !req
572. What do you need?Copy !req
573. Janice Barry is saying
they're going to askCopy !req
574. Cornelius Sykes to host
the Will Rogers dinner.Copy !req
575. They know for sure?Copy !req
576. They're going to ask him
on Monday.Copy !req
577. Yeah.
They're trying
to stir this up again?Copy !req
578. He didn't laugh at the joke.
How many more ways are thereCopy !req
579. for me to say that?
He didn't laugh at the joke.Copy !req
580. You guys are friends;
I was thinking...Copy !req
581. We're not friends.
You know each other.Copy !req
582. I don't hang out
with Corey Sykes.Copy !req
583. Yeah, but you know him.Copy !req
584. Where is he?Copy !req
585. He's in New York doing stand-up.Copy !req
586. Since you'll
be there...
I'll see him tomorrow night.Copy !req
587. Thank you.Copy !req
588. He didn't laugh
at the joke.Copy !req
589. Yes.
You'll see him
tomorrow night?Copy !req
590. Josh...
Would you see
that a meeting is arrangedCopy !req
591. for tomorrow night in New YorkCopy !req
592. Yeah.
with C.J. and Cornelius Sykes
and no one else?Copy !req
593. Thank you.Copy !req
594. And I was thinking...Copy !req
595. Yeah?
When Marbury gets here?Copy !req
596. Yeah?
You can encourage himCopy !req
597. to introduce me to any
royal and single men
he might know.Copy !req
598. That's a good idea.
I'm going to do that.Copy !req
599. You're not really,
though, are you?Copy !req
600. No.Copy !req
601. You know what I think?Copy !req
602. A lot of people don't realizeCopy !req
603. that Swedes have lived in Sweden
more than 5,000 years longerCopy !req
604. than nearly any other
European people.Copy !req
605. That's right, sir.Copy !req
606. In fact,
Gothic tribes from SwedenCopy !req
607. played a major role
in the disintegrationCopy !req
608. of the Roman Empire,
did they not?Copy !req
609. They did.Copy !req
610. So you've got that
to answer for.Copy !req
611. Yes, sir.Copy !req
612. Uh, Mr. President,
it is with pleasureCopy !req
613. that I present
His ExcellencyCopy !req
614. Peter Hans of SwedenCopy !req
615. and by request
of the Secretary of StateCopy !req
616. ask that you accept
his credentials from
King Carl GustafCopy !req
617. as Sweden's Ambassador
to the United States.Copy !req
618. Mr. Hans, I accept
your Letter of CredenceCopy !req
619. from King GustafCopy !req
620. and by affixing
my signature and sealCopy !req
621. do hereby declare you
to be an AmbassadorCopy !req
622. Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary.Copy !req
623. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
624. Congratulations.Copy !req
625. Mr. Ambassador.Copy !req
626. Family, please.Copy !req
627. Congratulations,
Ambassador.Copy !req
628. Leo.Copy !req
629. Is he still holding
you responsibleCopy !req
630. for the fall of
the Roman Empire?Copy !req
631. Oh, yes.Copy !req
632. Welcome to my world.Copy !req
633. I'll see you
at the reception, right?Copy !req
634. Yes, sir.
Congratulations.Copy !req
635. Mr. Ambassador, you
and your family
can step this way.Copy !req
636. Sweden has a 100%
literacy rate, Leo.Copy !req
637. 100%. How do they do that?Copy !req
638. Well, maybe they don't,
and they also can't count.Copy !req
639. Maybe.Copy !req
640. Sir, I really think
you should know...Copy !req
641. Yes?Copy !req
642. That nine out
of the ten criteriaCopy !req
643. that the DOD lays
down for success in
these tests were met.Copy !req
644. The tenth being?
They missed the target.Copy !req
645. Damn! So close.
Sir...Copy !req
646. Mr. President...
It's that tenth one.Copy !req
647. See, if thereCopy !req
648. were just nine...Copy !req
649. Look, the tracking software
on the KM vehicleCopy !req
650. clearly acquired
a read on both the
target and the decoyCopy !req
651. and for the
first time everCopy !req
652. successfully
rendered a cleanCopy !req
653. identification
differential.Copy !req
654. Leo, seriously, when they were
telling you that on the phoneCopy !req
655. how stupid did you think
you'd sound saying it to me?Copy !req
656. This project
needs money.Copy !req
657. It doesn't work.Copy !req
658. Neither did several
phases of Apollo 11Copy !req
659. but Neil Armstrong
claims it was a success.Copy !req
660. Do we need
to decide this right now?Copy !req
661. No.
Okay.Copy !req
662. So, about the
GDC speech?Copy !req
663. Yeah.Copy !req
664. Since we're giving them
exactly what they wantCopy !req
665. Toby thinks
it's not such a bad ideaCopy !req
666. if we signal
our independence as well.Copy !req
667. How?
A drop-in.Copy !req
668. Eco-terrorism that's gone
un-admonished by the GDC.Copy !req
669. For example?Copy !req
670. A ski development in ColoradoCopy !req
671. that threatened a rare lynx
was burned in protest.Copy !req
672. And we can't take it for grantedCopy !req
673. that everyone pretty much
fundamentally opposes arson?Copy !req
674. A year and
a half agoCopy !req
675. you stood in the Mural RoomCopy !req
676. and took Al Caldwell's head off
because the Christian LeagueCopy !req
677. hadn't publicly admonished
religious extremists.Copy !req
678. It would be hypocrisyCopy !req
679. Yes.
not to hold our friends
to the same standardCopy !req
680. and yet it feels strange
to score political pointsCopy !req
681. by doing
the right thing.
Yeah.Copy !req
682. I'm victim
to my ownCopy !req
683. purity of character.Copy !req
684. Whatever. We got you
some information on the lynxCopy !req
685. which is a kind
of possum, I think.Copy !req
686. Okay, well,
it's not a kind of a possumCopy !req
687. so why don't you get me
that information?Copy !req
688. Toby doesn't want it
in the speech?Copy !req
689. Just a drop-in.Copy !req
690. Did you hear?Copy !req
691. About Marbury?
Isn't it great?Copy !req
692. Yes, sir, and I assumeCopy !req
693. you're enjoying
my suffering?Copy !req
694. Absolutely.Copy !req
695. Anything else?
No.Copy !req
696. Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
697. 2,000 environmentalists
are going to tryCopy !req
698. to kill me
tomorrow night.Copy !req
699. They're going
to come at meCopy !req
700. with vegan food
and pitchforks.Copy !req
701. That doesn't really sound
like something people do.Copy !req
702. Still, I'd like you
to get between meCopy !req
703. and any boiled seaweed
you see coming my way.Copy !req
704. Mr. President?Copy !req
705. Leo just talked to me.Copy !req
706. About the GDC tonight?Copy !req
707. Yeah. I'm not doing this
for the politics.Copy !req
708. I'm doing it 'cause
it's the right thing to do.Copy !req
709. Well, I'm doing it
for the politics.Copy !req
710. A lynx isn't a possum.Copy !req
711. I think it's in
the possum family.Copy !req
712. It's a cat.Copy !req
713. Oh, and we don't
have enough of those.Copy !req
714. How does Sam feel
about this?Copy !req
715. Toby?Copy !req
716. This isn't
Government Camp.Copy !req
717. It's not like...Copy !req
718. It's not important that
everybody gets to play.Copy !req
719. I'm not going to tell you
how to run your office, Toby.Copy !req
720. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
721. Vegan food coming at me
all night long.Copy !req
722. C.J.?Copy !req
723. Yeah?Copy !req
724. Where you going?Copy !req
725. New York, New York, Toby.Copy !req
726. The town so nice
they named it twice.Copy !req
727. What are you doing there?Copy !req
728. I'm receiving
the Matrix AwardCopy !req
729. from New York Women
in Communications.Copy !req
730. For what?Copy !req
731. I discovered a comet.Copy !req
732. What do you mean
"for what"?Copy !req
733. Past winners, by the wayCopy !req
734. include Cokie Roberts, Diane
Sawyer and Ms. Leslie Stahl.Copy !req
735. Did Josh
talk to you about...?Copy !req
736. I'm meeting him for a
drink after the thing.Copy !req
737. And you're briefed on
the Clean Air Rehabilitation...?Copy !req
738. Yeah.Copy !req
739. Okay. You might need this.Copy !req
740. "The President
has always spoken outCopy !req
741. "against moderate groupsCopy !req
742. "not taking responsibility
for extremismCopy !req
743. "and he isn't going to stop
with the environmental lobby.Copy !req
744. Friends are honest
with each other."Copy !req
745. He's going to
do a drop-in?Copy !req
746. I'll see you
tomorrow night.Copy !req
747. Hey, Toby, you want
to see the speech?Copy !req
748. Sam's writing
a good one.Copy !req
749. Oh.Copy !req
750. Climate changes
have accelerated.Copy !req
751. Glaciers are shrinking.Copy !req
752. Polar sea ice is what?Copy !req
753. It's thinning.Copy !req
754. The polar sea ice is thinningCopy !req
755. causing a rise in sea levels
around the globe.Copy !req
756. And what do we say
when they sayCopy !req
757. "But the proposals
in the Clean AirCopy !req
758. "Rehabilitation Effort
would seriously chokeCopy !req
759. the auto, trucking
and utility business?"Copy !req
760. $22 trillion
in benefits producedCopy !req
761. versus a half a trillion
in compliance cost.Copy !req
762. Public health benefits?Copy !req
763. We'll make that clear.Copy !req
764. Where's C.J.?Copy !req
765. She's in New York.Copy !req
766. What's she doing
in New York?Copy !req
767. She had a lunch.Copy !req
768. Media Women,
Women of Media.Copy !req
769. That was
this afternoon.Copy !req
770. She had to
stay around.Copy !req
771. So it's just me?Copy !req
772. Yeah. Call me
from the place.
Yeah.Copy !req
773. Final draft?Copy !req
774. Well, it's
the 12th draft.Copy !req
775. Whether it's the final draft
is really up to you.Copy !req
776. Was that sass?Copy !req
777. Yeah.Copy !req
778. Okay.Copy !req
779. The difference between a good
speech and a great speechCopy !req
780. is the energy
with which the audienceCopy !req
781. comes to their feet at the end.Copy !req
782. Is it polite? Is it a chore?Copy !req
783. Are they standing up because
their boss just stood up? No.Copy !req
784. We want it to come
from their socks.Copy !req
785. We got a half an hour.Copy !req
786. Let's read this again.Copy !req
787. Every time one of
these tests failsCopy !req
788. Congressional
DemocratsCopy !req
789. jump on it as a reason
to kill the program.Copy !req
790. You're not going to turn
the President aroundCopy !req
791. on the missile shield.Copy !req
792. Well, I'm not going to
turn him around todayCopy !req
793. and probably not tomorrowCopy !req
794. but as long as somebody
has the moneyCopy !req
795. to keep trying to make
it work, then I'm fine.Copy !req
796. Leo?Copy !req
797. Yeah.Copy !req
798. There's someone here to see you.Copy !req
799. Who?Copy !req
800. Gerald!Copy !req
801. Oh, God.Copy !req
802. Gerald, old friend.Copy !req
803. Good to see you,
Ambassador.Copy !req
804. It's as if
the gods themselvesCopy !req
805. insist that we be
not long apart, you and I.Copy !req
806. They do seem to strongly
insist upon that, yes.Copy !req
807. Your assistant, Margaret,
is looking positively buxom.Copy !req
808. Thank you, I'll tell her.Copy !req
809. Thank you.Copy !req
810. Yes, well done.Copy !req
811. John?Copy !req
812. Oh, oh, my aide, Caprice.Copy !req
813. How do you do?Copy !req
814. Leo McGarry.Copy !req
815. Good to see you,
Ambassador.Copy !req
816. God bless you, Josh.Copy !req
817. The prayers of millions
were answered.Copy !req
818. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
819. I have come.
Yes.Copy !req
820. I am Lord John Marbury, along
with my aide, Caprice, and I'mCopy !req
821. hereby presenting
my credentialsCopy !req
822. in the fervent hope that...Copy !req
823. John, we do that later
with the President.Copy !req
824. Excellent.Copy !req
825. I will tell you, though,
that I personally welcome youCopy !req
826. and I look forward
to our new partnership.Copy !req
827. As do I.Copy !req
828. I know we've had our
differences in the pastCopy !req
829. but I think you know
I respect you.Copy !req
830. I congratulate you
on this auspicious occasionCopy !req
831. and, as a matter of fact,
the timingCopy !req
832. How so?
of your arrival
couldn't be better.Copy !req
833. Leo's trying to convince
the President to give
the NMD more time.Copy !req
834. You're an expert in the fieldCopy !req
835. and I hope I can count
on your support.Copy !req
836. You may hope for it,
but you'll not have it.Copy !req
837. Because the NMD
Why not?Copy !req
838. is an absurdly wasteful
military boondoggleCopy !req
839. that will never produce
a working missile.Copy !req
840. It violates any number
of elements of the ABM treatyCopy !req
841. and any argument
you make in its defenseCopy !req
842. will surely be moronic.Copy !req
843. Ah... detente.Copy !req
844. I'm sorry, Gerald.Copy !req
845. We're going
to have this out.
Excellent.Copy !req
846. Let's go get you knightedCopy !req
847. or whatever the hell it is
we do.Copy !req
848. Hey.Copy !req
849. Hey, how you doing?Copy !req
850. Not bad.Copy !req
851. Thanks for taking the time.Copy !req
852. Yeah. I got to get
back pretty soon.Copy !req
853. I won't take long.Copy !req
854. You want to stay
for the show?Copy !req
855. I got to get the 7:00 shuttle.Copy !req
856. You want something to drink?Copy !req
857. Uh, club soda.Copy !req
858. Alicia, can I get
some club soda?Copy !req
859. Oh, I haven't seen
the movie yet.Copy !req
860. You should see it.
It's good.Copy !req
861. That's what everyone's saying.Copy !req
862. Well, I appreciate that.Copy !req
863. So, you know, this is
about the Will Rogers dinner.Copy !req
864. Yeah.Copy !req
865. They're going to ask you to hostCopy !req
866. and, obviously, the President's
going to be there.Copy !req
867. We, uh...Copy !req
868. appreciate the support...Copy !req
869. You want me to say no.Copy !req
870. We think the press will
go back two yearsCopy !req
871. Let them.
and bring up the whole...Copy !req
872. I don't want to.Copy !req
873. You know, you know
how I feel about you.Copy !req
874. You know I don't mean
you disrespect...Copy !req
875. You don't?Copy !req
876. No.Copy !req
877. I've raised money for you.Copy !req
878. I've registered voters for you.Copy !req
879. I've done commercials for youCopy !req
880. and I've voted for you.Copy !req
881. Because of something I never did
wrong two years agoCopy !req
882. you don't want to be on
the same dais with me.Copy !req
883. That's not...Copy !req
884. It takes a special
kind of arroganceCopy !req
885. not to think that
that's disrespectful.Copy !req
886. Ah, thanks, Alicia.Copy !req
887. Make your case.Copy !req
888. I got to be funny in a while.Copy !req
889. It missed by 137 miles.Copy !req
890. Yes.Copy !req
891. It could've missed
by 37 fewer milesCopy !req
892. and it would've
still missed by
a hundred miles.Copy !req
893. It doesn't work.Copy !req
894. That depends
what your definition is.Copy !req
895. My definition is precisely
the same as everyone else's.Copy !req
896. John!Copy !req
897. Mr. President.Copy !req
898. It's good to have you here.Copy !req
899. Your servant,
as always.Copy !req
900. What made you agree
to take the post?Copy !req
901. I suppose it's possible
I was drunk.Copy !req
902. Reasonable bet.Copy !req
903. Listen, I got to go
a few blocks across townCopy !req
904. and give an address
on global warmingCopy !req
905. and the future of our planet.Copy !req
906. That's not something
you're interested in?Copy !req
907. Oh, good God, no.Copy !req
908. Okay. Stay here and fight
with Leo about something.Copy !req
909. We'll get you some dinner.
I'll be back in an hour.Copy !req
910. We'll do your thing
and then enjoy the reception.Copy !req
911. Excellent.
Indeed.Copy !req
912. Charlie?
Here we go.Copy !req
913. Eagle's moving.Copy !req
914. An hour, did he say?Copy !req
915. Yes.Copy !req
916. I'll need
some amusement.Copy !req
917. Good evening, Your Lordship.Copy !req
918. Excellent.Copy !req
919. Wait a second.
Let me finish.Copy !req
920. It was not a benign joke.Copy !req
921. You don't tell
benign jokes.Copy !req
922. That's a matter...Copy !req
923. It was a joke
about New York City copsCopy !req
924. shooting black men.Copy !req
925. I'm black man.Copy !req
926. I'm in a room full of rich
Democrats in an election year.Copy !req
927. You thought I was going
to talk about airline food?Copy !req
928. It was a political
fund-raiser in the heatCopy !req
929. of a national campaign.Copy !req
930. You weren't doing a 2:00 a.m.
set at Catch a Rising Star.Copy !req
931. You know how many years
it's beenCopy !req
932. since I worked
Catch a Rising Star?Copy !req
933. You made the joke, and
inoffensive as you think
it may have beenCopy !req
934. there was
enormous pressure
on the candidateCopy !req
935. to disavow your remarks,
and he did not.Copy !req
936. And I'm supposed...Copy !req
937. Corey...
I'm supposed to feel
good about that?Copy !req
938. That he didn't disavow me?Copy !req
939. That I wasn't disavowed?Copy !req
940. We were courting
law enforcement, Corey.Copy !req
941. Don't be naive.Copy !req
942. You were also courting
the black vote, C.J.Copy !req
943. I'm not naive.Copy !req
944. What'd you expect us to do?Copy !req
945. I expected
that when I was calledCopy !req
946. in any of number of places
a Hollywood sleazeCopy !req
947. that you might have said a
few words, maybe, on my behalf.Copy !req
948. I expected that you
we're going to sayCopy !req
949. "We in the
Bartlet campaignCopy !req
950. "don't believe Cornelius Sykes
is a Hollywood sleaze.Copy !req
951. "We believe
he's a world-class humoristCopy !req
952. "and millions
of Americans agree.Copy !req
953. "We believe
his humor can be
disconcerting to someCopy !req
954. "but those who are making noise
right nowCopy !req
955. "are feigning their concernCopy !req
956. in an effort to frighten
white men."Copy !req
957. But what you said wasCopy !req
958. he didn't laugh at the joke.Copy !req
959. Corey...Copy !req
960. He did laugh at the joke.Copy !req
961. Yeah.Copy !req
962. He laughed at the joke, C.J.Copy !req
963. I've been doing this 20 years.Copy !req
964. You don't think I know
if I had him?Copy !req
965. I killed that night.Copy !req
966. That was a very
big deal for me.Copy !req
967. To play in front
of that audienceCopy !req
968. to get that man to laugh?Copy !req
969. And the next dayCopy !req
970. my parents read in the paper
that I am Hollywood sleaze.Copy !req
971. But that's okayCopy !req
972. 'cause the candidate didn't
think I was funny.Copy !req
973. I understand.Copy !req
974. I don't want to cause
any trouble for the President.Copy !req
975. You knew that
when you walked in here.Copy !req
976. I'll pass on the dinner.Copy !req
977. I'll tell them...Copy !req
978. it was 'cause I couldn't get out
of a booking.Copy !req
979. But the President laughed
at the joke, C.J.Copy !req
980. I killed that night.Copy !req
981. You did.Copy !req
982. Okay, I got to go.Copy !req
983. I'll see you next time.Copy !req
984. Is the President
offstage yet?Copy !req
985. Just about.Copy !req
986. Anyone know
how it's going?Copy !req
987. Toby?
Yeah.Copy !req
988. It's Sam.
Yeah.Copy !req
989. Yeah?Copy !req
990. Sam...
He admonished them.Copy !req
991. He went off the speech
right at the endCopy !req
992. and slapped them down
for not speaking outCopy !req
993. Yeah. Listen...
on eco-terrorism.Copy !req
994. Sam, listen...
He just flew
right off the speech.Copy !req
995. Something about
a Colorado ski resort.Copy !req
996. Sam, are you listening?
Here's what you say:
Talk to me.Copy !req
997. Friends are honest
with each other.Copy !req
998. The President has always spoken
out on moderate groupsCopy !req
999. not taking responsibility
for terrorismCopy !req
1000. and he isn't going to stop
with the environmental lobby.Copy !req
1001. God bless you all,
and God bless America.Copy !req
1002. Got that?
Yeah.Copy !req
1003. What's happening?Copy !req
1004. Sam, what's happening?Copy !req
1005. They're not standing.Copy !req
1006. So, you're actual royalty?Copy !req
1007. Well, yes.Copy !req
1008. It's not just an
honorary thing?Copy !req
1009. No. In fact,
there's little honorCopy !req
1010. attached to it at all.Copy !req
1011. Tell me about yourself.Copy !req
1012. Well, my mother
was a descendantCopy !req
1013. of the third of the nine
children of Queen Victoria.Copy !req
1014. Victoria was the
granddaughter of
George IIICopy !req
1015. who was the great
grandson of George I.Copy !req
1016. George I was the great
nephew of Charles ICopy !req
1017. who was the son of James ICopy !req
1018. and, uh, James's mother
was Mary, Queen of Scots.Copy !req
1019. And are you
and Caprice an item?Copy !req
1020. Uh, no.Copy !req
1021. Mr. Ambassador?Copy !req
1022. Is he back?Copy !req
1023. He's back,
but he's receiving credentialsCopy !req
1024. from Her Excellency
Renee Ernesto of ArgentinaCopy !req
1025. and asks for your patience.Copy !req
1026. My patience
he shall have.Copy !req
1027. C.J...Copy !req
1028. Yeah?Copy !req
1029. You just get back?
Yeah.Copy !req
1030. You heard
what happened?Copy !req
1031. Yeah, and here's what it is:Copy !req
1032. The President has always
spoken out on moderate groupsCopy !req
1033. not taking responsibility
for extremismCopy !req
1034. and he isn't going to stop
at the environmental lobby.Copy !req
1035. Friends are honest
with each other.Copy !req
1036. Sam?Copy !req
1037. Have you spoken to Toby?Copy !req
1038. When?Copy !req
1039. Since after the
speech tonight?Copy !req
1040. No.Copy !req
1041. Okay.Copy !req
1042. They're setting up
for the reception?Copy !req
1043. Yeah.Copy !req
1044. $60 billion can be spent
on other things.Copy !req
1045. I'm all for retention pay.Copy !req
1046. I'm all for health benefits.Copy !req
1047. I'm all for procurement.Copy !req
1048. I'm talking about
Abrams tanksCopy !req
1049. and Apache helicopters,
which we know work.Copy !req
1050. An Apache helicopterCopy !req
1051. will not stop a Shahab-3
long-range StilettoCopy !req
1052. or a North Korean ICBM.Copy !req
1053. Well, so far,
neither can anything else.Copy !req
1054. Hey, Sam?Copy !req
1055. I'm going back in there.Copy !req
1056. Have you been
getting questions?Copy !req
1057. I'm sorry?Copy !req
1058. Have you been
getting questions?Copy !req
1059. Yeah.Copy !req
1060. From the press, or...?Copy !req
1061. The press'll
be tomorrow.Copy !req
1062. So, who's asking...?Copy !req
1063. The chairman of the
GDC, four congressmenCopy !req
1064. the Secretary
of the Interior.Copy !req
1065. Who'd you think would
be talking to me?
What did...?Copy !req
1066. I said, "Sometimes friends have
to be honest with each other."Copy !req
1067. I said exactly
what you told me to sayCopy !req
1068. which, coincidentally, is
exactly what C.J. told me to sayCopy !req
1069. which is remarkable
when you considerCopy !req
1070. during the event and didn't
speak to you afterward. YorkCopy !req
1071. I mean, it's almost
as if there were peopleCopy !req
1072. who already knew it
was going to happen.Copy !req
1073. Sam...
Get away from me.Copy !req
1074. Hey, Sam.Copy !req
1075. Is it possible I could
get in for just a minute?Copy !req
1076. He's pretty tight right now.Copy !req
1077. I don't thinkCopy !req
1078. I can get you in.Copy !req
1079. Oh, well, yes,
uh, certainly.Copy !req
1080. There's, uh, Edward,
Earl of Ulster.Copy !req
1081. He's the son of Richard,
Duke of GloucesterCopy !req
1082. who's the son of Henry,
Duke of Gloucester.Copy !req
1083. Edward, Earl of Ulster?Copy !req
1084. Yes.Copy !req
1085. You think he'd like me?Copy !req
1086. Do you date
younger men?Copy !req
1087. Sure. How old is he?Copy !req
1088. Five.Copy !req
1089. Okay, well, let's stick a pin
in that for a momentCopy !req
1090. and move on.Copy !req
1091. Hello.
Hello.Copy !req
1092. Am I interrupting?Copy !req
1093. Not at all.Copy !req
1094. Ambassador Marbury
was just telling meCopy !req
1095. about how royal men
are schooled in the
ways of courtship.Copy !req
1096. King George III,
for exampleCopy !req
1097. sailed his bride
up the River ThamesCopy !req
1098. to music that was
specially composed.Copy !req
1099. Yeah. That was just
a few yearsCopy !req
1100. before we opened up a big can
of whup-ass on him at Yorktown.Copy !req
1101. Leo, uh...Copy !req
1102. How can you lookCopy !req
1103. at North Korea,
which 24 months agoCopy !req
1104. fired a Taepodong missile...Copy !req
1105. Uh, which failed.Copy !req
1106. And with some modificationsCopy !req
1107. it'll be able to reach Alaska.Copy !req
1108. Well, I don't
live in Alaska.Copy !req
1109. I live in England,
which, by the wayCopy !req
1110. is not protected by the shield.Copy !req
1111. Not that anybody else is
at the moment, either.Copy !req
1112. You've also forgotten
that we're both signatoriesCopy !req
1113. to the '72 ABM Treaty,
of which this shield
is in clear violation.Copy !req
1114. You've forgotten
that it willCopy !req
1115. compel China to strengthen
their nuclear arsenal.Copy !req
1116. You've forgotten that
the European alliesCopy !req
1117. have strong
reservations
about the shieldCopy !req
1118. and you've forgotten
that it doesn't work.Copy !req
1119. You know what
I haven't forgotten?Copy !req
1120. What?Copy !req
1121. That we opened upCopy !req
1122. a big can of whup-ass on you
at Yorktown.Copy !req
1123. All right.Copy !req
1124. Leo?Copy !req
1125. Excuse me.Copy !req
1126. Excuse me.Copy !req
1127. I'm going to correspond
with Edward, Earl of UlsterCopy !req
1128. once he learns
how to read and write.Copy !req
1129. Okay.Copy !req
1130. Here you go.Copy !req
1131. No, no, Alice,
I got it.Copy !req
1132. It's all right.Copy !req
1133. No, I got it.Copy !req
1134. You want a beer?Copy !req
1135. Yeah, thanks.Copy !req
1136. You don't ever go into
the Oval Office mad.Copy !req
1137. Look...
No. No, no.Copy !req
1138. No, Sam, you don't ever
go in there mad.Copy !req
1139. I think the President's remarks
were... ill-advisedCopy !req
1140. to say the least.Copy !req
1141. Well, you're wrong.Copy !req
1142. The drop-in's the story
now, Toby, not the
energy package.Copy !req
1143. The energy package
doesn't need to beCopy !req
1144. a story. It's
going to be a law.Copy !req
1145. You'd don't think we needCopy !req
1146. the environmental lobby?Copy !req
1147. I think
we need them.Copy !req
1148. I just don't think
we're going to lose them.Copy !req
1149. And I think you're
tragically misguided.Copy !req
1150. Sam, I...Copy !req
1151. Many, if not most
environmentalistsCopy !req
1152. are absolutists
who will use this insult to pullCopy !req
1153. their support under cover
we cut a deal with Detroit.Copy !req
1154. Well, then,
they can grow up, Sam.Copy !req
1155. "Use this insult"?Copy !req
1156. They just got the energy package
they wantedCopy !req
1157. they just got the President
at their dinnerCopy !req
1158. and they should shut up!Copy !req
1159. Well, you shouldCopy !req
1160. explain it to them
just that way, TobyCopy !req
1161. 'cause they're really pretty
receptive to that argument.Copy !req
1162. When they look down
the ballot and see
the alternativesCopy !req
1163. they get receptive
in a hurry.Copy !req
1164. Was there anything else,
or can I sit here now?Copy !req
1165. Yeah, you can sit here.Copy !req
1166. I'll see you tomorrow.Copy !req
1167. Yeah.Copy !req
1168. Sam, I'm looking
at opposition pollingCopy !req
1169. that scares the
hell out of me.Copy !req
1170. I'm looking at
internal numbersCopy !req
1171. that change by the hour.Copy !req
1172. I'm listening to
economists that tell
me there's weather...Copy !req
1173. You left me out.Copy !req
1174. ( sighing ):
Yeah.Copy !req
1175. You think I'm the reason
you got beatCopy !req
1176. on the Leadership breakfast?Copy !req
1177. I got creamed, Sam.Copy !req
1178. You think I'm the reason?Copy !req
1179. I didn't want
the discussion!Copy !req
1180. Then what are you doing hereCopy !req
1181. talking to me?Copy !req
1182. Now you want
the discussion.Copy !req
1183. You and the President may think
they deserved itCopy !req
1184. but the cynicism
of attacking your friendsCopy !req
1185. for political protection
offends them and it offends me.Copy !req
1186. It offends you, and there's
really nothing I can doCopy !req
1187. to make you feel better
about that.Copy !req
1188. We can't govern if we don't win.Copy !req
1189. You should talk to me
about the numbers more.Copy !req
1190. Yeah.Copy !req
1191. Anyway, I have
this beer, so...Copy !req
1192. Yeah.Copy !req
1193. I was just going to
sit down and drink it.Copy !req
1194. Yeah.Copy !req
1195. I mean, we don't have
to talk or anything.Copy !req
1196. Yeah.Copy !req
1197. That was
Chairwoman Shelly LoobisCopy !req
1198. I just got off the phone with.Copy !req
1199. Before that was a conference
call with Jamie SchwartzCopy !req
1200. from the Environmental
Defense FundCopy !req
1201. Bryce Davis
from the Sierra ClubCopy !req
1202. and three Democratic CongressmenCopy !req
1203. from the Subcommittee
on Energy and the Environment.Copy !req
1204. The number
of different wordsCopy !req
1205. they had
for "manipulative..."Copy !req
1206. Leo, there's no way
they didn't haveCopy !req
1207. a thesaurus open
in front of them.Copy !req
1208. Bryce Davis said
if I keep this upCopy !req
1209. he's going to encourage
Seth GilletteCopy !req
1210. in a third-party bid.Copy !req
1211. What'd you say?Copy !req
1212. I said for 50 bucks
and a ride to the airportCopy !req
1213. Gillette could have the job
right now.Copy !req
1214. ( chuckles )
What'd you say?Copy !req
1215. I politely reminded them
that it's probablyCopy !req
1216. not a good idea to threaten
the President. Nancy!Copy !req
1217. I want to know,
when you're pushing meCopy !req
1218. towards the missile shieldCopy !req
1219. it's not 'cause you want me
to look strong on defense.Copy !req
1220. Yes, sir?Copy !req
1221. Would you tell Charlie
I'm ready?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
1222. Don't.
I'm not. I'm
pushing youCopy !req
1223. toward the shield
'cause I think it works.Copy !req
1224. Based on what?Copy !req
1225. Confidence...Copy !req
1226. and the understanding
that there's been a timeCopy !req
1227. in the evolution
of everything that worksCopy !req
1228. when it didn't work.Copy !req
1229. You know, can
I say this?Copy !req
1230. Why don't we just
give the $60 billionCopy !req
1231. to North Korea
in exchange for
not bombing us?Copy !req
1232. It's almost hard to believeCopy !req
1233. that you're not on
the National Security Council.Copy !req
1234. I know. I feel like they're
missing an important voice.Copy !req
1235. Good evening.Copy !req
1236. John!Copy !req
1237. Let me explain why
you've been waiting.Copy !req
1238. I have to see people
in the order in
which they arriveCopy !req
1239. and you got beat
by Argentina.Copy !req
1240. Oh, uh, well, yes.Copy !req
1241. You also lost out
on preferred seatingCopy !req
1242. for the State
of the Union.Copy !req
1243. I'm required to attend
the State of the Union?Copy !req
1244. Yes!Copy !req
1245. Well, then,
attend it I shall.Copy !req
1246. Okay. Tom?Copy !req
1247. it is with pleasure
that I present His ExcellencyCopy !req
1248. Lord John Marbury
of Great BritainCopy !req
1249. and by request
of the Secretary of StateCopy !req
1250. ask that you accept
his credentialsCopy !req
1251. from Her Royal Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth IICopy !req
1252. as Great Britain's Ambassador
to the United States.Copy !req
1253. Hmm...Copy !req
1254. Where are you on
the missile shield?Copy !req
1255. Well, I think it's dangerous,
illegal, fiscally irresponsibleCopy !req
1256. technologically unsoundCopy !req
1257. and a threat
