2. I have a relapsing/remitting
course of MS.Copy !req
3. I'm sorry, sir?Copy !req
4. I have multiple sclerosis, Toby.Copy !req
5. The Vice President's authority
was murky at best!Copy !req
6. Are you pissed
'cause I didn't
say anythingCopy !req
7. or are you pissedCopy !req
8. 'cause there were 15 people
who knew before you did?Copy !req
9. It's seven-and-a-half months
till the Iowa caucusCopy !req
10. and no one's been told
the President might
not be the nominee.Copy !req
11. He's going to run.
He may not have
that option, Leo.Copy !req
12. You think he's going
to need to resign?Copy !req
13. There's going to be
hearing upon hearing.Copy !req
14. He hasn't broken a law.Copy !req
15. Mr. President, at some
point in the near futureCopy !req
16. we're going to have to speak
to some lawyers.Copy !req
17. Go home.Copy !req
18. No.Copy !req
19. You were up
all night.Copy !req
20. Do you know why?Copy !req
21. Oliver...Copy !req
22. Because my staff's work
on the analysis of HR 437Copy !req
23. ignored the Fourth Amendment
implications and instead...Copy !req
24. Yes.Copy !req
25. became fascinated with
the Third, Seventh and Eleventh.Copy !req
26. Please.Copy !req
27. Like you've got to
be a prime numberCopy !req
28. to get the attention of
the U.S. Supreme Court.Copy !req
29. You can really go home
and get a few hours sleepCopy !req
30. before you go
to the airport.Copy !req
31. That's why I was
up all night.Copy !req
32. Where am I going?Copy !req
33. You're going
on vacation.Copy !req
34. Wait, it's coming back to me.Copy !req
35. Oliver...Copy !req
36. It's not a vacation.
You'll have a...Copy !req
37. It's a forced vacation.Copy !req
38. In Borneo.Copy !req
39. It's an international
law summitCopy !req
40. where I'm supposed to show
my support for—Copy !req
41. I'm not certain—Copy !req
42. so I have that
in my notes someplace?Copy !req
43. Yes.Copy !req
44. I need the amicus brief
on Sovereign Immunity...
It's there.Copy !req
45. Federal Land Use...
It's there.Copy !req
46. Would you like us to pack
your big hammer?Copy !req
47. You know what? Don't make fun
of the big hammer.Copy !req
48. The big hammer happens
to be a gavelCopy !req
49. given to my father's father
by Justice Louis Brandeis.Copy !req
50. I need a Dictaphone.Copy !req
51. You've got one
on your desk.Copy !req
52. It doesn't work.Copy !req
53. What's wrong with it?
Doesn't work.Copy !req
54. He's asking...
It's stuck on record.Copy !req
55. It won't stop recording things,
so it's just what you wantCopy !req
56. lying around the White House
Counsel's OfficeCopy !req
57. because there's never been
a problem with that before.Copy !req
58. Okay, you know what else?Copy !req
59. You're going to go
home and sleep until
your plane leaves.Copy !req
60. I'm fine sleeping
until well after thatCopy !req
61. but somebody call me
when my car's on the way.Copy !req
62. Excuse me,
Mr. Babish.Copy !req
63. I'm going home.Copy !req
64. That was
Mr. McGarry's office.Copy !req
65. He's on his way down
with the President.Copy !req
66. You should fix your tie.Copy !req
67. Yeah.Copy !req
68. I couldn't disagree
more, Cal.Copy !req
69. As long as these peopleCopy !req
70. are funding their
public school districtsCopy !req
71. with property taxes,
neither the value
of the schoolsCopy !req
72. nor the value
of their property
is going to go up.Copy !req
73. It's a vicious circle.Copy !req
74. It's terrible
and it has to be stopped.Copy !req
75. So we're going to do
something about it.Copy !req
76. I wouldn't go that far.
Anything else?Copy !req
77. No, sir.Copy !req
78. Thank you.
Thank you.Copy !req
79. Mr. President.Copy !req
80. It's a vicious
circle, Leo.Copy !req
81. Yeah.Copy !req
82. It never stops.Copy !req
83. Sir...
It just goes round
and round...Copy !req
84. Look...
and round and round.Copy !req
85. Let's go see him.Copy !req
86. Now?Copy !req
87. He's waiting for us.Copy !req
88. We really need
to see him now?Copy !req
89. What better time?Copy !req
90. Well... later.Copy !req
91. Let's go.Copy !req
92. Five White House Counsels
in two-and-a-half years.Copy !req
93. Cochran, Gates, Solomon,
Tribbey.Copy !req
94. Why can't I keep a head lawyer
around here?Copy !req
95. 'Cause they all
show up thinkingCopy !req
96. they're going to be a
counselor to the PresidentCopy !req
97. and you never
let them in.Copy !req
98. I don't like new people.Copy !req
99. Oliver Babish
isn't a new person.Copy !req
100. You know each other.Copy !req
101. Your kids know
each other.Copy !req
102. You built hospitals
together.Copy !req
103. He was Midwest Finance
Chairman on the campaign.Copy !req
104. Never played chess,
though, have we?Copy !req
105. No.
See?Copy !req
106. You're scared of Babish.Copy !req
107. Oh, like you're not.Copy !req
108. No...Copy !req
109. because we are both
men of Chicago.Copy !req
110. What is it with people
from ChicagoCopy !req
111. that they're so happy
to have been born there?Copy !req
112. I meet so many people
who can't wait to tell
me they're from ChicagoCopy !req
113. and when I meet them,
they're living anywhere
but Chicago.Copy !req
114. You wouldn't
understand.Copy !req
115. He looks down his nose at me
'cause I'm not a lawyer.Copy !req
116. Yes.Copy !req
117. I didn't go
to law school.Copy !req
118. I got a Ph.D.
in economics instead.Copy !req
119. Your parents
were very proud.Copy !req
120. Yeah, and all that
happened wasCopy !req
121. I won a Nobel Prize and
got elected PresidentCopy !req
122. so I guess that decision
didn't really pay off.Copy !req
123. Yeah.Copy !req
124. Should I run back
and get my Nobel Prize?Copy !req
125. I think he knows
you've got one.Copy !req
126. Guy's been here
three monthsCopy !req
127. he's got a nicer office
than I do.Copy !req
128. He's got a nicer
office than I do.Copy !req
129. That matters less to me.Copy !req
130. Good morning,
Mr. President.Copy !req
131. Hey, Oliver.Copy !req
132. Come on in.Copy !req
133. What are the bags for?Copy !req
134. I was just heading out
on vacation.Copy !req
135. Oh... oh, gosh.Copy !req
136. Oliver, this...
Sir...Copy !req
137. this can keep.
Mr. President...Copy !req
138. The man's bags are packed.
Where are you going?Copy !req
139. Sarawak.Copy !req
140. Asia's best kept secret.Copy !req
141. Sir, is there something
you'd like to, uh...?Copy !req
142. It's really not even...Copy !req
143. I don't want you to worry
that much about it.Copy !req
144. Sir...Copy !req
145. I'm easing in.
Okay.Copy !req
146. Well, Oliver, it really
boils down to this:Copy !req
147. I'm going to tell you a story
and then I need you to tell meCopy !req
148. whether or not
I've engaged 16 peopleCopy !req
149. in a massive
criminal conspiracyCopy !req
150. to defraud the public in order
to win a presidential election.Copy !req
151. Okay.Copy !req
152. I'm on my way to the meeting
right now.Copy !req
153. Finance, Foreign Relations,
Senate Banking, I guess.Copy !req
154. Leo's in a meeting.Copy !req
155. Someone's going to call you
every half-hour. Yeah.Copy !req
156. Mexico collapsed?Copy !req
157. Yeah, can you believe it?Copy !req
158. Mexico collapsed
over the weekend.Copy !req
159. No, actually,
just this morning.Copy !req
160. How does a country
collapse on a
Monday morning?Copy !req
161. By not slowly devaluing the peso
the way I told them to.Copy !req
162. You told them to devalue
the peso?Copy !req
163. The Treasury Secretary did,
but I was in the room.Copy !req
164. Seriously...Copy !req
165. Seriously,
they're in big trouble.Copy !req
166. Three weeks ago, they fell
to 20 cents against the dollar.Copy !req
167. Two weeks ago,
the Bolsa IndexCopy !req
168. took its worst single day fall
in history, and this morningCopy !req
169. the Mexican market opened
20% off the Friday close.Copy !req
170. What's that in U.S. terms?Copy !req
171. It'd be like a 2,000-
point drop in the Dow.Copy !req
172. The immediate
problem...Copy !req
173. You saw this?Copy !req
174. I saw it two hours ago, Toby.
Where you been?Copy !req
175. I just got here.Copy !req
176. We could be screwed
on vouchers.Copy !req
177. We are screwed on vouchers,
but I want to know who...Copy !req
178. Talk to C.J.Copy !req
179. Somebody's going to eat
this quote.Copy !req
180. He's pretty pissed.Copy !req
181. Yeah. I can't worry
about it right now.Copy !req
182. So what's the
immediate problem?Copy !req
183. Mexico's got $30 billion worth
of foreign loans due this weekCopy !req
184. and they don't have
$30 billion.Copy !req
185. So what happens now?Copy !req
186. Buenos dias,
señores y señoras.Copy !req
187. Let's find
some money.Copy !req
188. I've seen it, obviously.Copy !req
189. I just haven't spoken
to the President about it.Copy !req
190. C.J., can you give us any kind
of sense of what may haveCopy !req
191. turned the President around
on school vouchers?Copy !req
192. The President
hasn't turned around.Copy !req
193. Does the House leadership...?Copy !req
194. I'm sorry, I have
to follow up.Copy !req
195. The quote from the senior
White House official saysCopy !req
196. the President would be
willing to compromise,
agreeing to a...Copy !req
197. It sounds like
the senior White House officialCopy !req
198. would be willing to compromiseCopy !req
199. but I haven't spoken
to the President yetCopy !req
200. this morning.Copy !req
201. If I could move off
the quote for a moment.Copy !req
202. This is from
the Coast Guard Marine SafetyCopy !req
203. and Environmental Protection
Division.Copy !req
204. About three hours ago,
a single-hull VLCCCopy !req
205. carrying four million gallons
of crude oilCopy !req
206. ran up on a shoal
three miles southCopy !req
207. of Rehoboth Beach,
Delaware.Copy !req
208. Whoa, whoa,
I don't have much.Copy !req
209. I'm going to give you
everything I've got.Copy !req
210. The hull was puncturedCopy !req
211. and the tanker
is leaking oil.Copy !req
212. How many gallons
do you think...?Copy !req
213. 200,000 gallons so far.Copy !req
214. The Coast Guard has set up a
command center with EPA workersCopy !req
215. and the state
emergency response team.Copy !req
216. The ship belongs
to Kensington Oil.Copy !req
217. Does the ship have a name?Copy !req
218. C.J.:
Yeah, it's the Indio.Copy !req
219. I-N-D-I-O.Copy !req
220. The Kensington Indio.Copy !req
221. Operations are already
underway...Copy !req
222. Containment booms?Copy !req
223. C.J.:
The Coast Guard has deployed
containment boomsCopy !req
224. around the vessel,
and they're siphoning...Copy !req
225. Bonnie, what happened?Copy !req
226. What do you mean?Copy !req
227. The oil tanker.Copy !req
228. I'm hearing it now.Copy !req
229. Ginger, what do you know
about the oil tanker?Copy !req
230. It hit Delaware.Copy !req
231. I'm amazed it found Delaware.Copy !req
232. C.J.:
The Federal on-scene
Coordinator's scheduledCopy !req
233. a press conference
for 2:00 this afternoonCopy !req
234. from the Coast Guard
Incident Command Post.Copy !req
235. We hope to have much more
information by then.Copy !req
236. Thank you, everybody.Copy !req
237. What the hell, C.J.?Copy !req
238. Anything good in the
paper this morning?Copy !req
239. Who's the "senior
White House official"?Copy !req
240. I don't know.Copy !req
241. You're telling me
you can't control...Copy !req
242. A reporter can just pick up
a phone and call anyone?Copy !req
243. Yeah.
Why?Copy !req
244. 'Cause we don't
live in Tripoli.Copy !req
245. The Republican leaders
already think—
Shallick, Ann Stark—Copy !req
246. they already think
they can get the votes
on a compromise measure.Copy !req
247. Look...Copy !req
248. All they were scared
of was a veto.Copy !req
249. They're going
to build it now.Copy !req
250. They're going to do it.Copy !req
251. And our phones, all
day long, are going
to be ringingCopy !req
252. with Democrats who want us dead.
Seth Gillette's going to...Copy !req
253. Let me tell you
something— this time
he's going to be right!Copy !req
254. Toby, I'll talk
to Leo and Josh.Copy !req
255. I'll talk to
the President.Copy !req
256. I'll get a
clarification.Copy !req
257. Beyond that, what do
you want me to do?Copy !req
258. I want you find out
who the senior White
House official wasCopy !req
259. and put his ass in my office
by the end of the day!Copy !req
260. It wasn't me.Copy !req
261. I imagine if it was
anyone within the
sound of Toby's voiceCopy !req
262. they'd be looking
for a trapdoor right now.Copy !req
263. Is there anything
you can tell me
about the tanker?Copy !req
264. Carol's going to give you
the notes from the Coast Guard.
Do you knowCopy !req
265. whether it had something
to do with the navigationCopy !req
266. or the steering?Copy !req
267. All that's being investigated,
but I'm assumingCopy !req
268. that when a ship runs into the
shore, it has something to doCopy !req
269. with either the navigation
or the steering.Copy !req
270. Yeah.Copy !req
271. Hey, Sam...Copy !req
272. you don't knowCopy !req
273. who it was, right?Copy !req
274. No.Copy !req
275. What can you tell me
about this diseaseCopy !req
276. that I don't
already know?Copy !req
277. Not as much
as a doctor.Copy !req
278. You should talk
to a doctor.Copy !req
279. Well, I'm going to talk
to quite a few of themCopy !req
280. but let me ask you this:Copy !req
281. Is it possible...Copy !req
282. for someone with
relapsing/remitting MS
to experience an attackCopy !req
283. that would include
temporary loss of
proper brain functionCopy !req
284. but exclude any
physical symptoms?Copy !req
285. Let me put it
another way:Copy !req
286. Is it possible
that you could be
sitting in this roomCopy !req
287. have an attack,
and I don't know it?Copy !req
288. I think what you're asking isCopy !req
289. is it possible I could be
sitting in the Situation RoomCopy !req
290. have an attack,
and nobody knows it.Copy !req
291. Yes.Copy !req
292. Yes.Copy !req
293. My vision might get blurry—
you wouldn't know that—Copy !req
294. my legs might get numb...Copy !req
295. Okay, sir, uh... before
we go any furtherCopy !req
296. there's something that
I want to make sure
is absolutely clear.Copy !req
297. What's that?Copy !req
298. You and I don't enjoy
attorney/client privilege.Copy !req
299. What's he talking about?Copy !req
300. He's a government lawyer.Copy !req
301. The privilege
doesn't exist.Copy !req
302. So you want to be
very carefulCopy !req
303. about what you say in
this room right now,
Mr. PresidentCopy !req
304. because, if subpoenaed
to give a depositionCopy !req
305. I'm not going to
lie under oath.Copy !req
306. I don't want to be careful
about what I say in this room.Copy !req
307. Well, then we should
end this meetingCopy !req
308. and you should retain
private counsel.Copy !req
309. I want you.Copy !req
310. I meant I don't need
to be careful.Copy !req
311. Okay.Copy !req
312. I'd like to ask you
some questions now.Copy !req
313. These are preliminary
and with no preparationCopy !req
314. and in no
particular order.Copy !req
315. Yeah.Copy !req
316. Have you ever been
party to a lawsuit?Copy !req
317. Have I ever been party
to a lawsuit?Copy !req
318. Yes, sir.Copy !req
319. I was Governor
of New Hampshire.
Anybody who...Copy !req
320. I mean a lawsuit in which
you gave a deposition.Copy !req
321. A meter reader slipped
on a patch of black ice
in my drivewayCopy !req
322. and I got dragged into
some pain-in-the-ass thing
over my great-aunt's will.Copy !req
323. And you gave a deposition
in both those cases?Copy !req
324. Yeah.Copy !req
325. Do you recall any time
in those depositionsCopy !req
326. when you were asked
about your health?Copy !req
327. Oliver, why are we talking
about my great-aunt's willCopy !req
328. and the meter reader?Copy !req
329. Because if you were asked
about your healthCopy !req
330. and lied in a deposition,
that's the ball game.Copy !req
331. We're all going home.Copy !req
332. He never lied.Copy !req
333. Leo, I'd like to hear
the President say that.Copy !req
334. I never lied.Copy !req
335. You never had to
testify under oath
about your health?Copy !req
336. No.Copy !req
337. Never answered
any interrogatoriesCopy !req
338. or depositions
about your health?Copy !req
339. No.Copy !req
340. Okay.Copy !req
341. The First Lady and your kids,
that's fourCopy !req
342. the six original doctors
and radiologists, that's tenCopy !req
343. your brother, that's 11Copy !req
344. Fitzwallace, the
Vice President
and Leo, that's 14...Copy !req
345. And the anesthesiologist
at GW.Copy !req
346. Who's the last one?
I'm sorry?Copy !req
347. You said 16 people.
Who's the last one?Copy !req
348. Toby Ziegler.Copy !req
349. Yeah.
You told him.Copy !req
350. When?Copy !req
351. This past Friday night.Copy !req
352. How's he taking it?Copy !req
353. Not well.Copy !req
354. I wouldn't think so.Copy !req
355. Mr. President,
I have some more questions.Copy !req
356. Is there time now?Copy !req
357. Well, the Mexican economy
crashedCopy !req
358. an oil tanker busted up
about 120 miles from hereCopy !req
359. and 13% of Americans
are living in povertyCopy !req
360. so, yeah,
I can hang out with youCopy !req
361. and answer insulting questionsCopy !req
362. for awhile.Copy !req
363. Good.Copy !req
364. The Assistant
Secretary for
Legislative Affairs...Copy !req
365. Carol Villenuevo?
Yes. Says she'll
have it for usCopy !req
366. in an hour
to review it.Copy !req
367. That's when
the President's
going to call youCopy !req
368. and ask you
to fast-track it.Copy !req
369. He wants you
to take itCopy !req
370. straight to
mark-up and vote.Copy !req
371. Josh, my members
are going to needCopy !req
372. a day to read
the thing.Copy !req
373. We understand,
but we don't have a day.Copy !req
374. What Josh means is the very next
story in the news cycleCopy !req
375. ( Toby yelling )
has got to be that the U.S.
is guaranteeing the loans.Copy !req
376. ED:
The Treasury Secretary's
got to make that announcementCopy !req
377. when the markets open
tomorrow morning.Copy !req
378. We need a vote tonight.Copy !req
379. Yeah, listen, uhCopy !req
380. the next story in the news cycleCopy !req
381. has got to be that the
U.S. is guaranteeing the loans.Copy !req
382. These guys
just said that.Copy !req
383. All right,
you understand
we may not haveCopy !req
384. anything ready till
2:00, 3:00 in the morning.Copy !req
385. The President doesn't
mind staying up late
to sign his name.Copy !req
386. You also understandCopy !req
387. no one here has
said yes yet.Copy !req
388. I noticed that.Copy !req
389. All right.Copy !req
390. Uh... you mind if
we use the room to talk?Copy !req
391. Not at all.Copy !req
392. You mind talking fast?Copy !req
393. I do it
for a living.Copy !req
394. Shout to somebody
if you need coffee.Copy !req
395. How's it going
in there?Copy !req
396. The number of people
whose permission I needCopy !req
397. before I can do whatever
the hell I want...Copy !req
398. Let me tell
you something—Copy !req
399. there's really a lot
to be said for fascism.Copy !req
400. Funny you should
mention that.Copy !req
401. Toby?Copy !req
402. He wants me
to find the leak.Copy !req
403. You should.Copy !req
404. No problem.
Was it you?Copy !req
405. No.Copy !req
406. Okay. Well, then,
now I'm stumped.Copy !req
407. C.J...Copy !req
408. Josh, when there's a leak,
I do what I do.Copy !req
409. Finding the person is
usually impossible under
benign circumstancesCopy !req
410. but with Toby blasting
around the hallsCopy !req
411. whoever it was has
gone so far undergroundCopy !req
412. we could start
our search in Beijing.Copy !req
413. What about
asking Cashin?Copy !req
414. Cashin isn't going
to roll over on a source.Copy !req
415. Then you've got
to get a swinging
light bulb in thereCopy !req
416. and just do it.Copy !req
417. Yeah, this from the guy
who had four kinds
of aneurysmsCopy !req
418. when he had
to interrogate the
staff on drug use.Copy !req
419. That was a
lot different.Copy !req
420. 'Cause it was you?Copy !req
421. No, because that was
an investigationCopy !req
422. into personal behavior.Copy !req
423. This guy compromised
a policy initiative.Copy !req
424. That's a fair pointCopy !req
425. and I'm not saying
it's not badCopy !req
426. I'm just saying I'm
not going to find him.Copy !req
427. You're absolutely
not going to find him.Copy !req
428. But I should spend
the day doing it anyway.Copy !req
429. Yes.
Because Toby's pissed.Copy !req
430. Let me tell you something.Copy !req
431. I've found that
if you accept thatCopy !req
432. as a good enough reason
for doing somethingCopy !req
433. life becomes easier.Copy !req
434. Thanks for
the fortune cookie wisdom.Copy !req
435. You bet.Copy !req
436. Josh?Copy !req
437. You just lurk there
in the shadows, like...Copy !req
438. Whatever.Copy !req
439. What are you doing?Copy !req
440. I'm doing things,
things with paper.Copy !req
441. Can you do them later?Copy !req
442. Why?Copy !req
443. So you're not
doing them now?Copy !req
444. I had a couple questions,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
445. About what?Copy !req
446. The Mexico bailout.Copy !req
447. Can you ask them later?Copy !req
448. Later it might be a done deal,
and before you sendCopy !req
449. $30 billion of
my money to MexicoCopy !req
450. I'd like to ask
a few questions.Copy !req
451. Okay, it's going to be
one of these now, right?Copy !req
452. Yeah.Copy !req
453. You object to the bailout?Copy !req
454. I do.Copy !req
455. Because in the world
of Donnatella MossCopy !req
456. we should love one another
just as long as it doesn'tCopy !req
457. cost you anything.Copy !req
458. Well, yes, I suppose
that's one small-minded
way of putting it.Copy !req
459. Close the door.Copy !req
460. Donna?Copy !req
461. With me on the other side?Copy !req
462. Thank you.Copy !req
463. Hey.Copy !req
464. How are you doing?Copy !req
465. Is he back yet?Copy !req
466. No.Copy !req
467. Hey, you decided yet?Copy !req
468. Theology 201: Intro
to Biblical Literature.Copy !req
469. Why?Copy !req
470. So the President
will stop bugging me.Copy !req
471. And English 201:
Texts and Contexts.Copy !req
472. What happened to
molecular biology?Copy !req
473. It's closed out
for the summer session.Copy !req
474. How many AP credits
do you have from
high school?Copy !req
475. I have six in EnglishCopy !req
476. six in math and calculusCopy !req
477. three in European historyCopy !req
478. and three in French.Copy !req
479. You're telling me you've
never been to collegeCopy !req
480. and after taking
two classes this summerCopy !req
481. you're going to be,
like, a junior?Copy !req
482. With a pretty decent GPA.Copy !req
483. Charlie, just
how smart are you?Copy !req
484. I've got some game.Copy !req
485. Sam?Copy !req
486. She's here?
Yeah.Copy !req
487. Thanks.Copy !req
488. Excuse me.Copy !req
489. Lieutenant?Copy !req
490. Mr. Seaborn?Copy !req
491. Sam.Copy !req
492. Emily.Copy !req
493. You look exactly the way
you sound on the phone.Copy !req
494. You look exactly the way
you look on the news.Copy !req
495. Thanks for coming by.Copy !req
496. It's no problem.Copy !req
497. I'm surprised to see you
in a dress uniformCopy !req
498. on a day like you
must be having today.Copy !req
499. We're required to wear the
Class-As for any businessCopy !req
500. on the Hill or
in the White House.Copy !req
501. I never knew that.Copy !req
502. You never noticed
that every soldierCopy !req
503. sailor and Marine who's
walked in here has been
in a dress uniform?Copy !req
504. I'm less visually
observant than othersCopy !req
505. but I make up for it.
How?Copy !req
506. With cunning and guile.Copy !req
507. Okay.Copy !req
508. What happened to the ship?Copy !req
509. It suffered some
kind of malfunctionCopy !req
510. causing a steering loss
about ten miles offshore.Copy !req
511. The captain dropped anchor
to avoid a run-inCopy !req
512. with other marine
traffic.Copy !req
513. If he dropped anchor ten miles
out, what's he doing here?Copy !req
514. The anchor broke.Copy !req
515. The anchor broke? Anchors break?Copy !req
516. Yeah. I want you to try
and guess something.Copy !req
517. A ship of a size
and gross tonnage of the IndioCopy !req
518. steaming at 18 knotsCopy !req
519. how long do you think it takes
to come to a complete stopCopy !req
520. from the moment
the bridge cuts the enginesCopy !req
521. and throws the props
into reverse?Copy !req
522. I don't know.Copy !req
523. A couple football fields,
probably.Copy !req
524. Six miles.Copy !req
525. Six miles?Copy !req
526. There's no anchor that stops
that boat at 18 knots.Copy !req
527. Okay, so the thing's
drifting out there...
Which is when we gotCopy !req
528. a "dead in the water"
mayday and we sent out the
Tallahassee to tow it in.Copy !req
529. What happened
to the Tallahassee?Copy !req
530. 25-foot seasCopy !req
531. wind out of the
north-northeast at 40.Copy !req
532. So it made for port.Copy !req
533. With every intention
of going back out there.Copy !req
534. But the wind
from the northeast...Copy !req
535. Yeah, and the
tidal pull...Copy !req
536. pushed the Indio into shore.Copy !req
537. How bad is this
going to end up being?Copy !req
538. Bad.Copy !req
539. Everyone's in it—Copy !req
540. Coast Guard, EPA,
NTSB, state, local—Copy !req
541. but there are only
so many pairs of handsCopy !req
542. and, you know, getting
oil out of water.Copy !req
543. You try it sometime.Copy !req
544. Yeah. Listen, thanks again
for coming by.Copy !req
545. You want me to keep you
posted during the day?Copy !req
546. I'd appreciate it.Copy !req
547. Good luck.Copy !req
548. Thanks.Copy !req
549. Mr. President, do you
have life insurance?Copy !req
550. No.Copy !req
551. You have a wife and three kids
and no life insurance?Copy !req
552. I have accidental
death insuranceCopy !req
553. as well as
considerable
personal worth.Copy !req
554. Were I to die, my family would
not miss my government salary.Copy !req
555. What about
health insurance?Copy !req
556. I don't have
any anymore.Copy !req
557. Why not?Copy !req
558. I'm the husband
of a doctorCopy !req
559. and as a Governor
and PresidentCopy !req
560. the various governments
I've led generously...Copy !req
561. Yeah, let me cut to the end
of the page, sir.Copy !req
562. Have you ever signed
any documentCopy !req
563. for health insurance
or life insuranceCopy !req
564. or any document
which falls underCopy !req
565. the pains and penalty
of perjuryCopy !req
566. in which you are asked
about your healthCopy !req
567. and did not disclose
you have MS?Copy !req
568. No.Copy !req
569. Yeah.Copy !req
570. You should probablyCopy !req
571. make the call.Copy !req
572. Yeah.Copy !req
573. Excuse me.Copy !req
574. What do you think?Copy !req
575. I am nowhere closeCopy !req
576. to being able to answer
that question.Copy !req
577. C.J., you wanted to
see Jamie Hotchkiss?Copy !req
578. No, but yes.Copy !req
579. Jamie?Copy !req
580. Hey, Jamie, how are you doing?Copy !req
581. I'm a little pissed about
the quote this morning.Copy !req
582. I know how you feel.Copy !req
583. My team's been working
on this for nine months.Copy !req
584. You can't get leverage
with a rubber crowbar.Copy !req
585. They are going to jump on this.Copy !req
586. Yes, and I-I'd likeCopy !req
587. to ask you some questions.Copy !req
588. Sure.Copy !req
589. There was a meeting
about vouchersCopy !req
590. in the Roosevelt Room
last Thursday.Copy !req
591. Were you part of it?Copy !req
592. I've been in
on all those meetingsCopy !req
593. from the beginning.Copy !req
594. Right, and have you talked
to Terry CashinCopy !req
595. of the Baltimore Sun
in the last four days?Copy !req
596. What?Copy !req
597. I was wondering,
if in the last four days...Copy !req
598. You're asking me
if I'm the leak?Copy !req
599. I was going to be
a little more circumspect.Copy !req
600. I can tell.
Jamie...Copy !req
601. I've been working on
this for nine months.Copy !req
602. And frankly— and I don't
say this to you enough—Copy !req
603. doing a very good job.Copy !req
604. Thank you.Copy !req
605. Do you happen to knowCopy !req
606. who the leak is?Copy !req
607. Listen up: I'm not the leak.Copy !req
608. I don't know who the leak is.Copy !req
609. If I did, I wouldn't tell you.Copy !req
610. Any other questions?Copy !req
611. No, no.
We wrapped that up tight.Copy !req
612. Thank you.Copy !req
613. Carol?Copy !req
614. Yeah?Copy !req
615. How many more of these
do I have?Copy !req
616. 1,138.Copy !req
617. Okay, after five of them,
I'm just going to confess.Copy !req
618. Ready for the next one?Copy !req
619. Sure.Copy !req
620. They're not done meeting yet?Copy !req
621. In the Roosevelt Room?Copy !req
622. Yeah.Copy !req
623. No.
Okay.Copy !req
624. You got
a phone message.Copy !req
625. From who?Copy !req
626. Frank Kelly.Copy !req
627. Who's he?Copy !req
628. He's a textiles worker
in South CarolinaCopy !req
629. making $12.17 an hour
with no health insurance.Copy !req
630. His two kids go
to public school.Copy !req
631. The school's fine,
but they've had to cutCopy !req
632. art and music
for budget reasonsCopy !req
633. and Frank's ten-year-old is
just nuts about the trumpetCopy !req
634. so the mom does
telemarketing at nightCopy !req
635. after the kids
have gone to bedCopy !req
636. to pay for lessons
and rent an instrument.Copy !req
637. Not that art and music
are importantCopy !req
638. or that any of us had any funCopy !req
639. or met friends doing it.Copy !req
640. Frank obeys the law
and pays his bills.Copy !req
641. He also pays his taxesCopy !req
642. and he called to thank youCopy !req
643. for sending his
money to Mexico.Copy !req
644. Does he want me to call back?Copy !req
645. Josh...Copy !req
646. No, why don't you
call him back.Copy !req
647. Why don't you call him
back and remind himCopy !req
648. that the Mexican consumers
who buy his textilesCopy !req
649. can't afford to
buy them anymore.Copy !req
650. Frank will be laid off,
which isn't a problem.Copy !req
651. There are plenty
of jobs out thereCopy !req
652. for a 48-year-old
textiles workerCopy !req
653. just as long as he's trained
in high-tech computersCopy !req
654. and/or medical research.Copy !req
655. Oh, like the $30 billion
is going to make itCopy !req
656. into the pocket of
Mexican consumers.Copy !req
657. Eventually it doesCopy !req
658. and we're not giving them
the money.Copy !req
659. We're giving them our
credit card and paying the bill.Copy !req
660. It's a loan.Copy !req
661. We did the same thing
six years ago.Copy !req
662. The loan was paid back
ahead of schedule.Copy !req
663. And we did the
same thing four years
before that, too, right?Copy !req
664. Yes.
And five years
before that?Copy !req
665. Yes.
AA's definitionCopy !req
666. of insanity is doing the same
thing over and over againCopy !req
667. expecting a different result.Copy !req
668. I'm not cheap,
nor am I xenophobic.Copy !req
669. I just think it's time
for some tough love.Copy !req
670. Well, not right here
in front of everybody, DonnaCopy !req
671. but if you want to run home
and get your equipment...Copy !req
672. Go away from me.Copy !req
673. The telemarketing was
a nice detailCopy !req
674. but you should've said,
"scrubbed floors."Copy !req
675. I thought it'd
be too much.Copy !req
676. Yeah, probably.Copy !req
677. Come in.Copy !req
678. Hey.Copy !req
679. Hello, Sam.Copy !req
680. You did some decorating.Copy !req
681. Yeah.Copy !req
682. A woman's touch.Copy !req
683. It was a guy named Kirk.Copy !req
684. Hang on. I know this
piece of music. I love it.Copy !req
685. Isn't it great?Copy !req
686. No, but there's a
reason I like it.Copy !req
687. Well, it's beautiful.Copy !req
688. But there's another
reason. Hang on.Copy !req
689. It's called "Air on a G String."Copy !req
690. Could that be...?Copy !req
691. Yes.Copy !req
692. Thank you.Copy !req
693. What do you need?Copy !req
694. A lawyer.Copy !req
695. Well, you came
to the wrong place.Copy !req
696. Seriously.Copy !req
697. Are you in trouble?Copy !req
698. No, I'm not.Copy !req
699. I just want to ask
you some questions.Copy !req
700. You've been coveringCopy !req
701. the Attorneys GeneralCopy !req
702. for Maryland and Delaware
this morning, right?Copy !req
703. On the oil spill?
Yeah.Copy !req
704. They'll hold
a joint press conferenceCopy !req
705. this afternoon to announce
that they're seeking damages.Copy !req
706. How much?Copy !req
707. Who can say at this point,
but if I had to guessCopy !req
708. I'd say in the area
of $100 millionCopy !req
709. for cleanup costsCopy !req
710. probably another
$300 or $400 million punitive.Copy !req
711. I know how you feel
about these things, trust me.Copy !req
712. Kensington's going to pay it
through the nose.Copy !req
713. No, they're not.Copy !req
714. I think you're wrong.Copy !req
715. Somebody's going to pay.
It's not going to be them.Copy !req
716. You think their liability shield
is that strong?Copy !req
717. I do.
How do you know?Copy !req
718. 'Cause I'm the one
who bought them the boat.Copy !req
719. I bought the Indio for themCopy !req
720. when I was at Gage Whitney.Copy !req
721. Wow.Copy !req
722. Talk about your chickens
coming home to roost.Copy !req
723. Yeah, but what I was thinking
was this.Copy !req
724. I know this is going
to sound crazyCopy !req
725. but I was thinking,
if I could be deposedCopy !req
726. for the plaintiffs...Copy !req
727. Why?Copy !req
728. Because.Copy !req
729. Look, I was very proud of myself
for making such a great dealCopy !req
730. and it really sealed it for me
with the partnersCopy !req
731. and they were
about to make me oneCopy !req
732. and it really didn't bother me
that the boat was cheapCopy !req
733. for a reason,
but thenCopy !req
734. at the 11th hour, I
had a change of heart.Copy !req
735. For whatever reason,
I had a change of heartCopy !req
736. and I told them the boat
wasn't good enoughCopy !req
737. particularly with regardsCopy !req
738. to the steering
and navigation systemsCopy !req
739. which, of course,
they already knewCopy !req
740. and I suggested they
spend more money,
and they said...Copy !req
741. Stop talking right now.Copy !req
742. $11 million
extra dollars.
Sam...Copy !req
743. They laughed me
out of the room.Copy !req
744. Stop talking,
or I'm walking out.Copy !req
745. You know better.Copy !req
746. Neither you nor your clientsCopy !req
747. abdicated attorney/client
privilege when you left Gage.Copy !req
748. If you gave that deposition,
you'd be disbarredCopy !req
749. and even if you were
willing to be disbarred,
there's no judgeCopy !req
750. in the country who'd allow
privileged testimony.Copy !req
751. Ainsley,
unless a company like thisCopy !req
752. is forced to fork over
so much moneyCopy !req
753. they don't want to go on living,
unless they're compelled to payCopy !req
754. $500 million,
there's no incentiveCopy !req
755. for them to pay
the extra $11 millionCopy !req
756. to make the boat safer.Copy !req
757. Yes.Copy !req
758. All right.Copy !req
759. It was just an idea.Copy !req
760. Hey, you never know.Copy !req
761. With the liability shield?Copy !req
762. Maybe you're not as good
as you think.Copy !req
763. Yeah, I am.Copy !req
764. You still filling out forms,
Charlie?Copy !req
765. Well, I'm going to
be filling out formsCopy !req
766. for quite some time.Copy !req
767. It's basically going
to be my major.Copy !req
768. What is going to be
your major?Copy !req
769. I really
don't know.Copy !req
770. You going to join
the glee club?Copy !req
771. I don't think so,
Mrs. Landingham.Copy !req
772. Oh, glee club's
important.Copy !req
773. I'm only going
to have timeCopy !req
774. for a couple of
classes at night.Copy !req
775. I'm not going to be able
to be that gleeful.Copy !req
776. How about fencing?Copy !req
777. Fencing?
You're taking fencing?Copy !req
778. I'm not taking fencing.Copy !req
779. He's not taking glee club,
either.Copy !req
780. Fencing's goodCopy !req
781. 'cause you learn
the philosophy of self-defense.Copy !req
782. Well, I usually don't get
a lot of peopleCopy !req
783. pulling an epee on me
in my neighborhoodCopy !req
784. and my philosophy
of self-defenseCopy !req
785. has a lot to do with running
as fast as I possibly can.Copy !req
786. These forms are really
out of control,
you know that?Copy !req
787. Look at this:
six forms for financial aidCopy !req
788. three forms for housing,
and I'm not using their housingCopy !req
789. a form for
roommate preferenceCopy !req
790. and I'm not using
their housingCopy !req
791. emergency contactsCopy !req
792. general activity
informationCopy !req
793. transfer of creditsCopy !req
794. and a 14-page form...Copy !req
795. What?Copy !req
796. MRS.
Charlie, what?Copy !req
797. Hang on, please.Copy !req
798. Margaret,
I need to speak to Leo.Copy !req
799. He's in a meeting
with Oliver Babish.Copy !req
800. Yeah.Copy !req
801. I'm sorry, I need to speak
to him right now, please.Copy !req
802. Tell him
it's an old friend from home.Copy !req
803. You sure?Copy !req
804. Yeah.Copy !req
805. He's acting a little pissy,
wouldn't you say?Copy !req
806. You're a little pissy
too, there, my friend.Copy !req
807. Yeah, well, I'm pissed.Copy !req
808. No kidding.Copy !req
809. You weren't
when you found out?Copy !req
810. I wasCopy !req
811. but then I remembered.Copy !req
812. What?Copy !req
813. That I'm a drunk, and
he didn't give a damn.Copy !req
814. You guys going to go public?Copy !req
815. I don't know.Copy !req
816. What do you think?Copy !req
817. Not up to me.Copy !req
818. Up to the policy advisors.Copy !req
819. Well, I think you're
about to be one of them.Copy !req
820. I don't know
if I'm staying yet.Copy !req
821. You're staying.Copy !req
822. Why?Copy !req
823. 'Cause I'm running this
show, and I picked you.Copy !req
824. I didn't bring you hereCopy !req
825. for amicus briefs.Copy !req
826. Leo...Copy !req
827. I mean, in the two
and a half hoursCopy !req
828. we've been sitting hereCopy !req
829. have you
discovered one thingCopy !req
830. that he's
done wrong?
No.Copy !req
831. So, what's your problem?Copy !req
832. That's my problem, Leo.Copy !req
833. Are you out of your mind?Copy !req
834. He did everything right.Copy !req
835. He did everything you do
if your intentCopy !req
836. is to perpetrate
a fraud.Copy !req
837. Come in.Copy !req
838. Excuse me.Copy !req
839. Mr. McGarry,
Margaret just calledCopy !req
840. to say that Charlie Young
needs to speak with you.Copy !req
841. I can't right now.
It'll have to wait.Copy !req
842. She said to
mention somethingCopy !req
843. about an old
friend from home.Copy !req
844. I'll be right back.Copy !req
845. What is it?Copy !req
846. Charlie, you can talk to me.Copy !req
847. What is it?Copy !req
848. Charlie...Copy !req

He might have.
I don't know.Copy !req
884. It's important.
I'll try
and remember.Copy !req
885. 'Cause somebody might've
overheard you talking to him.Copy !req
886. Yeah, there's so
much to remember.Copy !req
887. Are you okay?Copy !req
888. I'm just... I'll be fine.Copy !req
889. And...Copy !req
890. and you yourself didn't talk
to anybody, did you?Copy !req
891. Donna?Copy !req
892. C.J., I can't...Copy !req
893. What?Copy !req
894. I can't lie like this anymore.Copy !req
895. Are you saying it was you?Copy !req
896. I feel horrible. I should've
said something beforeCopy !req
897. but I was afraid
of what you'd...Copy !req
898. No, it's okay.Copy !req
899. No, Let me get this
off my chest.Copy !req
900. It was me.
I called Terry Cashin.Copy !req

902. I don't know.Copy !req
903. Why does anybody
do anything?Copy !req
904. What are you talking about?Copy !req
905. I'm a madwoman, C.J.Copy !req
906. and it doesn't stop
with the leak.Copy !req
907. What do you mean?
Call the
authorities.Copy !req
908. Send them to my parent"
house in Madison.Copy !req

917. You want a salad?Copy !req
918. Thanks.Copy !req
919. Carol?Copy !req
920. Did you confess?Copy !req
921. She didn't let me get

while you were in there.Copy !req
923. From who?Copy !req
924. Europe in 1939.Copy !req
925. Yeah?Copy !req
926. Yeah, I jotted it down.Copy !req
927. Apparently
they're at warCopy !req
928. but we've taken a
firm stand as an
isolationist nationCopy !req
929. and refuse to get involved.Copy !req
930. Our resources are our ownCopy !req
931. and their problems are on
the other side of the world.Copy !req
932. Though they do have problems.Copy !req
933. It sounds to me
from what they said on the phoneCopy !req
934. that France, Austria and EnglandCopy !req
935. are getting absolutely
pounded by the GermansCopy !req
936. and with no end in sight.Copy !req
937. They say that by 1941Copy !req
938. they're going
to desperately need our helpCopy !req
939. if they have
any chance of survivalCopy !req
940. but I think
they're just being hysterical.Copy !req
941. This son of a customs agentCopy !req
942. with the Charlie Chaplin
mustache ain't going anywhereCopy !req
943. but there's no
telling that to
Franklin RooseveltCopy !req
944. who's trying to
convince his countryCopy !req
945. they need to
get involved.Copy !req
946. That's why he
came with this.Copy !req
947. An 8th grade social studies
textbook?Copy !req
948. Turn to the page
I flagged.Copy !req
949. The Lend-Lease Act.Copy !req
950. Yeah. Simply put, a loan of
arms to Russia and BritainCopy !req
951. with the understandingCopy !req
952. that they'd pay us back
when the war was overCopy !req
953. and he said this.Copy !req
954. He said if your neighbor's
house is on fireCopy !req
955. you don't haggle
over the price of
your garden hose.Copy !req
956. Frank Kelly
in South Carolina wouldn't.Copy !req
957. There are too many things
in the world we can't do.Copy !req
958. Mexico's on fire.Copy !req
959. Why help them?Copy !req
960. Because we can.Copy !req
961. Did they agree to the money?Copy !req
962. Yeah.Copy !req
963. Okay.Copy !req
964. You shouldn't feel bad
about this.Copy !req
965. Everyone hates me.Copy !req
966. Nah, they'll get over it.Copy !req
967. You think?Copy !req
968. Sure. You're just doing
your job.Copy !req
969. That's exactly right.Copy !req
970. And this is really important.Copy !req
971. You're the first one
who's understood that.Copy !req
972. You mind if I give you
a suggestionCopy !req
973. that may make this go faster?Copy !req
974. Sure.Copy !req
975. If you dunk
the suspectCopy !req
976. in a deep well of water
and they drownCopy !req
977. it means they're not a witch.Copy !req
978. All right. That's it.Copy !req
979. I saw Lizzie Proctor
speaking with the devil!Copy !req
980. Shut up.Copy !req
981. 720,000 gallons covering close
to 100 square miles.Copy !req
982. 10,000 blue and horseshoe crabs
are deadCopy !req
983. so that's a $25 million industryCopy !req
984. that can start looking for jobs
at the local Dairy Queen.Copy !req
985. 12,500 starfish,
flounder and bass.Copy !req
986. $342 million estimated loss
to the tourism economyCopy !req
987. based on beach communities.Copy !req
988. You ever wonder
why you never
hear anythingCopy !req
989. about a boatload
of Honda CivicsCopy !req
990. spilling into the ocean?Copy !req
991. What?Copy !req
992. Were you listening?Copy !req
993. Yeah.Copy !req
994. No. I'm sorry, no.Copy !req
995. Excuse me.Copy !req
996. Sam, would you mind?Copy !req
997. No.Copy !req
998. It's me, okay?Copy !req
999. I am Spartacus.Copy !req
1000. Look...Copy !req
1001. It was a leak.
Leaks happen.Copy !req
1002. They've happened since
the beginning of time—Copy !req
1003. in this White House,
in every White House.Copy !req
1004. There's no
malicious intent.Copy !req
1005. Things get out.Copy !req
1006. It's a company town.Copy !req
1007. Everybody talks to everybodyCopy !req
1008. and junior staffers try
to impress reportersCopy !req
1009. by showing they're
in the know.Copy !req
1010. There is no group of people
this large in the worldCopy !req
1011. that can keep a secret.Copy !req
1012. I find it
comforting.Copy !req
1013. It's how I
know for sureCopy !req
1014. the government isn't covering up
aliens in New Mexico.Copy !req
1015. Toby, I've issued
a blanket e-mailCopy !req
1016. to 1,100 staffers
about the incident.Copy !req
1017. I've asked the PresidentCopy !req
1018. to let me make a clarification
for tomorrow morning.Copy !req
1019. I've seen to it
it'll be on page one.Copy !req
1020. We're not
going to loseCopy !req
1021. an inch of ground
in the negotiation.Copy !req
1022. No, we're not.Copy !req
1023. No, we're notCopy !req
1024. and you knew that
since this morning.Copy !req
1025. Yes, I did.Copy !req
1026. Yeah. So what's this about?Copy !req
1027. This is small potatoes.Copy !req
1028. I want to knowCopy !req
1029. when the big potatoes come,
are we up for it?Copy !req
1030. Big potatoes?Copy !req
1031. Toby, we ran for election.Copy !req
1032. We lived through Leo and booze,
Sam and prostitutesCopy !req
1033. India and PakistanCopy !req
1034. Colombia and a failed
rescue mission.Copy !req
1035. Are there bigger potatoes
someplace?Copy !req
1036. No.Copy !req
1037. Toby...Copy !req
1038. Yeah?Copy !req
1039. Why are you lying to me?Copy !req

1041. Thanks for doing
that stuff today.Copy !req
1042. It was...Copy !req
1043. Thanks.Copy !req
1044. Sit down. Don't be scared.Copy !req
1045. My youngest daughter's
got a big mouth.Copy !req
1046. No, she doesn't, sir.Copy !req
1047. She wanted me
to be on the lookoutCopy !req
1048. for certain physical signs
so I could tell the First Lady.Copy !req
1049. We won't discuss
this anymore for
the time being.Copy !req
1050. It'll be public
soon enoughCopy !req
1051. and the more
conversations
you have with meCopy !req
1052. the more lawyers
you're going to
have to talk toCopy !req
1053. and they bill in
an hour what you
take home in a weekCopy !req
1054. so we won't discuss it
except to say this—Copy !req
1055. you're going to
be subpoenaed.Copy !req
1056. I'm confident in
your loyalty to me.Copy !req
1057. I'm confident in
your love for me.Copy !req
1058. If you lie to protect meCopy !req
1059. if you lie just onceCopy !req
1060. if you lie
just a littleCopy !req
1061. if you lie 'cause you can't
stand what's happening to meCopy !req
1062. and the people making it happenCopy !req
1063. if you everCopy !req
1064. ever lie...Copy !req
1065. you're finished with me,
you understand?Copy !req
1066. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1067. Say you understand.Copy !req
1068. I understand, sir.Copy !req
1069. Go back to work.Copy !req
1070. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1071. Is there anything
you need?Copy !req
1072. I need you to go to law schoolCopy !req
1073. and graduate
as soon as humanly possible.Copy !req
1074. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1075. Good evening,
Mr. President.Copy !req
1076. Well, I've got good
news for you, Oliver.Copy !req
1077. Turns out I didn't
do everything
right after all.Copy !req
1078. Zoey had to fill out
a family history form
for GeorgetownCopy !req
1079. and because she was 17,
a parent had to sign it.Copy !req
1080. And she left off the MS?Copy !req
1081. Yeah.Copy !req
1082. And you signed it?Copy !req
1083. I'd give anything if I had.Copy !req
1084. It was Lady Macbeth.Copy !req
1085. There's a bad moon
rising, Oliver.Copy !req
1086. We both know it.Copy !req
1087. They're going to take
me out for a walk.Copy !req
1088. This isn't what
you signed up for.Copy !req
1089. Leo begged you
to take this job.Copy !req
1090. This isn't
what you signed up for.Copy !req
1091. If you leave, I'd appreciate it
if you did it nowCopy !req
1092. so it doesn't look
like my lawyer bailed on meCopy !req
1093. when the rain starts.Copy !req
1094. No one's going to hold it
against you.Copy !req
1095. Well, I appreciate that,
Mr. President.Copy !req
1096. If I stay, will you do
exactly what I tell you to do?Copy !req
1097. I guess it depends.Copy !req
1098. No, I'm afraid
it can't depend, sir.Copy !req
1099. What would my
first step be?Copy !req
1100. First tell
your staff.Copy !req
1101. Yeah.Copy !req
1102. Then, decide how to make
a public announcement.Copy !req
1103. Yeah.Copy !req
1104. Then order
the Attorney GeneralCopy !req
1105. to appoint a special prosecutor.Copy !req
1106. Not just
any special prosecutor—Copy !req
1107. the most blood-spittingCopy !req
1108. Bartlet-hating
Republican in the bar.Copy !req
1109. He's going to have
an unlimited budgetCopy !req
1110. and a staff like an army.Copy !req
1111. The new slogan around here
is going to be "Bring it on."Copy !req
1112. He's going
to have accessCopy !req
1113. to every piece of paper
you ever touched.Copy !req
1114. If you invoke executive
privilege one time, I'm gone.Copy !req
1115. An assistant DA
in DucksworthCopy !req
1116. wants to take
your depositionCopy !req
1117. you're on
the next plane.Copy !req
1118. A freshman Congressman
wants your testimonyCopy !req
1119. you'll sit in his kitchen.Copy !req
1120. They want to drag you
to the HagueCopy !req
1121. and charge you with war crimes,
what do we say?Copy !req
1122. Bring it on.Copy !req
1123. I'll be in my office for a while
if you need me.Copy !req
