1. Previously on The West Wing:
Copy !req
2. Josh was shot
in the chest.
Copy !req
3. 40% of the teachers
in Kirkwood, Oregon
Copy !req
4. reported having
insufficient textbooks—
Copy !req
5. Textbooks are important
if for no other reason
Copy !req
6. than they'd accurately
place the town of Kirkwood
Copy !req
7. in California
and not Oregon.
Copy !req
8. We should hire her.
She's a Republican.
Copy !req
9. Appeal to her sense of duty.
Copy !req
10. I'm offering her a job.
Copy !req
11. What the hell
made you think
Copy !req
12. I wouldn't scream
where there are people?
Copy !req
13. Did you meet anyone
there who isn't
worthless?
Copy !req
14. Don't call them worthless.
They are patriots.
Copy !req
15. And I'm their lawyer.
Copy !req
16. Donna!
Copy !req
17. Don't shout.
Copy !req
18. Donna, come here!
Copy !req
19. Did you hear me
say don't shout?
Copy !req
20. No.
Copy !req
21. You know why?
Copy !req
22. 'Cause you weren't
shouting.
Copy !req
23. That's right.
That's right.
Copy !req
24. What's the problem?
Copy !req
25. They're still saying
I owe them $50,000
Copy !req
26. and that "failure to pay
Copy !req
27. will result in a negative
report on your credit."
Copy !req
28. On my credit?
Copy !req
29. On my credit. Sam!
Copy !req
30. Don't shout.
Copy !req
31. I got another letter.
Copy !req
32. Don't worry
about it.
Copy !req
33. I am worried about it.
Copy !req
34. I called an
insurance guy.
Copy !req
35. They're referring me
to insurance code 4336.
Copy !req
36. You know what that means?
Copy !req
37. No.
Copy !req
38. Okay, there's $50,000
worth of hospital bills
Copy !req
39. they're saying
they don't cover.
Copy !req
40. You know what
that means?
Copy !req
41. You may have
to get yourself
Copy !req
42. a job mowing lawns
after school.
Copy !req
43. Sam.
Copy !req
44. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
45. Sam!
Copy !req
46. Don't shout. Sam...
Copy !req
47. Hi.
Copy !req
48. I'm doing the
radio today.
Copy !req
49. What's it about?
Copy !req
50. You don't know
what it's about?
No.
Copy !req
51. You're a speech writer.
Copy !req
52. I'm the Deputy
Communications Director.
Copy !req
53. I don't do
the radio address.
Copy !req
54. I think this one's
about leaves turning.
Copy !req
55. Wouldn't be surprised.
Copy !req
56. Will he take
it seriously?
Copy !req
57. The President?
Copy !req
58. Yeah.
Copy !req
59. Why wouldn't he
take it seriously?
Copy !req
60. You don't take it
seriously.
Copy !req
61. I'm not the one
who has to read it.
Copy !req
62. I'm saying it's
the end of the week.
He gets a little punchy.
Copy !req
63. It's not live.
He can do another take.
Copy !req
64. Yeah.
Remember last April?
Copy !req
65. Eleven takes.
Copy !req
66. I remember.
Eleven.
Copy !req
67. What did he say,
insurance code 9336?
Copy !req
68. 4336— I had to give
those people key chains.
Copy !req
69. What people?
Copy !req
70. The guests at the radio address
were standing
Copy !req
71. in the Oval Office
for an hour and a half.
Copy !req
72. I sent them home with
White House key chains.
Copy !req
73. Knock 'em dead.
Copy !req
74. Oh, wait— stay
here for a second.
Copy !req
75. Why?
Copy !req
76. I'm gonna
do my thing.
I've seen it.
Copy !req
77. Yeah, but I'm
adding a joke.
Copy !req
78. I'm sure it's great.
Copy !req
79. Just, you know...
Copy !req
80. Sure.
Copy !req
81. Excuse me.
Copy !req
82. Good morning.
Copy !req
83. Welcome to the
White House.
Copy !req
84. My name is Donnatella Moss.
Copy !req
85. I work here in the west wing
as an assistant
Copy !req
86. to Deputy Chief of
Staff Joshua Lyman
Copy !req
87. which, I guess, makes me
Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff.
Copy !req
88. Okay, uh, we're going to go
over to the Oval Office now
Copy !req
89. if you'll follow me.
Copy !req
90. As you probably know
Copy !req
91. the President does a regular
Saturday morning radio address
Copy !req
92. which he records
on Friday.
Copy !req
93. The address is usually
two to three minutes in length.
Copy !req
94. when it's over, the
President will be happy
to stand for pictures.
Copy !req
95. I'm going to ask you to form
a horseshoe against that wall.
Copy !req
96. Not an actual horseshoe
Copy !req
97. that takes special training
as a blacksmith.
Copy !req
98. Okay.
Copy !req
99. Oh, thank God.
Copy !req
100. How's it going?
Copy !req
101. They didn't laugh
at the blacksmith joke.
Copy !req
102. That's almost hard
to believe, Donna.
Copy !req
103. How is everybody?
Copy !req
104. Good morning, sir.
Copy !req
105. We all set for
the speech?
Copy !req
106. Not quite.
Copy !req
107. What do you need, sir?
Copy !req
108. The speech.
Copy !req
109. Right here.
Copy !req
110. Thank you.
Copy !req
111. Let's do this in one,
shall we?
Copy !req
112. One-Take Bartlet— that's what
old Jack Warner used to call me.
Copy !req
113. Here we go,
in three...
Copy !req
114. two...
Copy !req
115. "Good morning.
Copy !req
116. "This month, as autumn is in
full bloom in much of the nation
Copy !req
117. "the weekends
will be devoted,
by many of you
Copy !req
118. to leaf peeping
and football watch... ing..."
Copy !req
119. Cut tape.
Copy !req
120. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
121. "Leaf peeping,"
is that something
Copy !req
122. we do now?
Copy !req
123. Try another?
Copy !req
124. We better get some key chains
in here.
Copy !req
125. I heard that.
Copy !req
126. Here we go,
in three...
Copy !req
127. two...
Copy !req
128. Okay, let's cut.
Copy !req
129. Sorry, everybody.
This is going to be it.
Copy !req
130. Four is my lucky number.
Copy !req
131. This is take five, sir.
Five is my lucky number.
Copy !req
132. Fifth-Take Bartlet.
Copy !req
133. That's what Jack Warner
used to call me.
Copy !req
134. Did you really know Jack
Warner, Mr. President?
Copy !req
135. Yeah, because I used to be
a contract player in Hollywood
Copy !req
136. and I'm 97 years old.
Copy !req
137. Okay.
Copy !req
138. Here we go.
Copy !req
139. In three, two...
Copy !req
140. C.J.?
Copy !req
141. How you doing, Toby?
Copy !req
142. I'm fine, thanks.
Listen...
Copy !req
143. Have you noticed that
I'm one of the few
people around here
Copy !req
144. whose nose isn't
bent out of shape
over Ainsley Hayes?
Copy !req
145. Yeah. Listen...
Copy !req
146. I'm serious.
Copy !req
147. You heard the news
Copy !req
148. and you slammed a door
so hard it broke, okay?
Copy !req
149. You heard the news
and you broke the White House.
Copy !req
150. But I'm over it now,
and other people aren't
Copy !req
151. and they should
get over it.
Copy !req
152. I'll see what
I can do.
Copy !req
153. In the meantime...
I'm gonna tell
you something—
Copy !req
154. I don't think it's that
she's a Republican
Copy !req
155. It's that she's a Republican
woman and she's good-looking.
Copy !req
156. Well, those are three things,
when in combination
Copy !req
157. usually spell careerism, but...
Copy !req
158. Well, I think
it's sexist
in a bad way
Copy !req
159. and I'm coming down
on her side.
Copy !req
160. Good for you. Look...
Copy !req
161. Toby, I am serious
about this.
Ed Barrie's doing
Copy !req
162. Meet the Press
on Sunday.
Copy !req
163. Did you know that?
Copy !req
164. No. This Sunday?
Copy !req
165. Day after tomorrow.
He's retiring.
Copy !req
166. Maybe it's just a farewell
retrospective...
Copy !req
167. He's also doing
Sam and Cokie
Copy !req
168. Late Edition, and Capitol Beat.
Copy !req
169. Are you sure about this?
Copy !req
170. Sam got it from
Mark Gottfried.
Copy !req
171. Has anyone talked to Judy?
Copy !req
172. The DOD press office isn't
confirming anything.
Copy !req
173. They won't confirm
whether a three-star general
Copy !req
174. is going on television
to beat up the President?
Copy !req
175. No.
Copy !req
176. Carol!
Copy !req
177. By the way
Copy !req
178. you are a beautiful woman...
Copy !req
179. and no one around here
has ever assumed
Copy !req
180. you were either ambitious
or stupid.
Copy !req
181. Toby?
Yeah.
Copy !req
182. Took two years.
Copy !req
183. Yeah.
Copy !req
184. I need to see General Barrie.
Copy !req
185. Go to the Pentagon and get him
Copy !req
186. and I don't want him
anywhere near a press line
Copy !req
187. when he comes
into the west wing.
Copy !req
188. Earliest possible
convenience?
Copy !req
189. I could give a damn
if it's convenient or not.
Copy !req
190. He's the Army
Chief of Staff, C.J.
Copy !req
191. And I work for his boss,
so get him here.
Copy !req
192. Want some help?
Copy !req
193. No.
Copy !req
194. Have a nice day.
Copy !req
195. Hey, has Leo
told Tribbey
Copy !req
196. about his new
Associate Counsel yet?
Copy !req
197. I'll check the wire to see if
any maimings have been reported
Copy !req
198. but I don't think
he's told him yet.
Copy !req
199. Should be some decent
dinner theater.
Copy !req
200. Let me know if you need me
on Captain Queeg.
Copy !req
201. He was okay
with it?
Copy !req
202. He thinks it's
a great idea.
Copy !req
203. He can't wait
to meet you.
Copy !req
204. Lionel Tribbey?
Copy !req
205. Yeah.
Copy !req
206. Lionel Tribbey
thinks hiring me
was a great idea.
Copy !req
207. Why are you surprised?
Copy !req
208. Well, because I'm a Republican
Copy !req
209. and Lionel Tribbey is...
incredibly not.
Copy !req
210. Lionel Tribbey is the
White House Counsel.
Copy !req
211. He is a brilliant and
fair-minded attorney
Copy !req
212. and he will accept you
on his staff because
he is, well...
Copy !req
213. fair-minded,
and because...
Copy !req
214. You haven't told him yet.
Copy !req
215. I have, in fact...
Copy !req
216. not told him yet, no.
Copy !req
217. So you lied to me
just then.
Copy !req
218. I'm a politician, Ainsley.
Copy !req
219. Of course I lied
to you just then.
Copy !req
220. My first day is getting off
to a great start.
Copy !req
221. About to get better.
Copy !req
222. Why?
Copy !req
223. Leo.
Copy !req
224. Yeah.
Lionel Tribbey
Copy !req
225. is on his way over.
Copy !req
226. I just want to die.
Copy !req
227. It's the White House.
Copy !req
228. You'll get used
to that feeling.
Copy !req
229. Maybe I should go.
Copy !req
230. Ainsley...
I'll go, so you two
Copy !req
231. can talk by yourselves...
You'll meet him now.
Copy !req
232. It's going to be fine.
Copy !req
233. It's not going to be fine.
Copy !req
234. He'll yell and scream.
I've seen him on TV.
Copy !req
235. Well, that's TV—
he's making a
full-throated
Copy !req
236. defense of
the President.
Copy !req
237. That's what we do.
Copy !req
238. In real life, when
the cameras are off...
Copy !req
239. Leo!
Copy !req
240. I will kill people today, Leo!
Copy !req
241. I will kill people
Copy !req
242. with this cricket bat
which was given to me
Copy !req
243. by Her Royal Majesty
Elizabeth Windsor
Copy !req
244. and then I will kill them
again with my own hands.
Copy !req
245. Lionel...
Copy !req
246. Has anybody
in this building
Copy !req
247. heard of "contempt
of Congress"?
Copy !req
248. Look, if I may...
Copy !req
249. Congress will hold
the White House
Copy !req
250. in contempt, which is nothing
compared to the contempt
Copy !req
251. in which I will hold
the White House
Copy !req
252. if this keeps happening.
Copy !req
253. What did we do?
Copy !req
254. Steve Joyce and
Mark Brookline
Copy !req
255. testified at
Governmental Affairs
Copy !req
256. that the White House
Copy !req
257. couldn't produce
the Rockland memo
Copy !req
258. because the White
House didn't have
the Rockland memo.
Copy !req
259. Do we?
Copy !req
260. Holding it in my hand, Leo!
Copy !req
261. I'm sure there's...
When your guys
Copy !req
262. go the Hill, they can't
drop their testimony
Copy !req
263. on my desk at 9:15
and testify at 9:30.
Copy !req
264. I was ready to take
a vacation, Leo.
Copy !req
265. I was going to go
someplace warm,
with a beach
Copy !req
266. somebody bringing
me drinks with
little umbrellas
Copy !req
267. in them.
Copy !req
268. I had this thing closed.
Copy !req
269. Now I've got to go back
up there, hat in hand
Copy !req
270. because the circus
is in town!
Copy !req
271. Who is this?
Copy !req
272. This is Ainsley Hayes.
Copy !req
273. She's scared of meeting
you, so be nice.
Copy !req
274. The girl who's been
writing the columns.
Copy !req
275. Yeah.
Copy !req
276. You're an idiot.
Copy !req
277. Leo...
Copy !req
278. She's not an
idiot, Lionel.
Copy !req
279. She clerked
for Dreifort.
Copy !req
280. Well, Dreifort's an idiot.
Copy !req
281. Dreifort's a Supreme Court
Justice, Lionel
Copy !req
282. so let's speak of him
with respect
Copy !req
283. and practice some tolerance
for those who disagree with us.
Copy !req
284. I believe as long
Copy !req
285. as Justice Dreifort
is intolerant
Copy !req
286. toward gays, lesbians
Copy !req
287. blacks, unions,
women, poor people
Copy !req
288. and the First, Fourth,
Fifth and Ninth Amendments
Copy !req
289. I will remain
intolerant toward him.
Copy !req
290. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
291. She's working
for you, Lionel.
Copy !req
292. Excuse me?
Copy !req
293. She's working
for you.
Copy !req
294. The President asked
me to hire her for
your office.
Copy !req
295. The president of what asked you
to hire her for my office?
Copy !req
296. The United States.
Copy !req
297. Excuse me.
Copy !req
298. I thought it went pretty well.
Copy !req
299. "Our farming families
stand for the values
Copy !req
300. that keep our nation
faith, calm
perseverance and pa..."
Copy !req
301. Mr. President...
Copy !req
302. have you lost what little
was left of your mind?
Copy !req
303. I can't possibly work like this!
Copy !req
304. Oh, dear God.
Copy !req
305. Cut.
Copy !req
306. I had it.
Copy !req
307. Sir, is this a bad time?
Copy !req
308. It's a bit of a bad time.
Forgive me, sir
Copy !req
309. but when you have a few moments
I would like to discuss
Copy !req
310. the hiring of blonde
and leggy fascists
Copy !req
311. whose knowledge does not include
the proper order of the alphabet
Copy !req
312. for positions in the White House
Counsel's office.
Copy !req
313. And we will, Lionel,
but right now
Copy !req
314. I don't know
if you've noticed
Copy !req
315. but there are 30 or 40
other people in the room
Copy !req
316. many of whom
have donated
Copy !req
317. significant amounts of
money to the Democratic
Party, so perhaps
Copy !req
318. you could get a tighter grip
on your horses
Copy !req
319. and we will talk about it later.
Copy !req
320. Yes.
Copy !req
321. Well.
Copy !req
322. Good morning, everyone.
Copy !req
323. Thank you, Mr. President.
Copy !req
324. Well, obviously, Lionel Tribbey
is a brilliant lawyer
Copy !req
325. whom we cannot
live without
Copy !req
326. or there would be very little
reason not to put him in prison.
Copy !req
327. Let's try again.
Copy !req
328. You've got two paragraphs
on H-404 for the AFL-CIO.
Copy !req
329. I want you to re-think them.
Copy !req
330. Re-think them how?
Copy !req
331. Cut them.
Copy !req
332. Why can't he talk
about Superfund?
Copy !req
333. Because it's
the AFL-CIO
Copy !req
334. and they want to hear about
how we'll protect their jobs.
Copy !req
335. How about we start by protecting
the planet they live on?
Copy !req
336. How about you start
by cutting
Copy !req
337. the paragraphs?
Fine.
Copy !req
338. What are you doing?
Copy !req
339. I'm trying to help Josh
with his insurance thing.
Copy !req
340. The hospital was
"out of network."
Copy !req
341. Therefore, they're
claiming responsibility
Copy !req
342. for only 20%
of a life-saving
medical procedure.
Copy !req
343. Also, he didn't
get the procedure
cleared beforehand.
Copy !req
344. His lung was collapsed
and blood stopped
flowing to his brain.
Copy !req
345. He was supposed
to dial up
Copy !req
346. the automated 24-hour
customer care service line?
Copy !req
347. If it keeps up like this,
he'll have to sue these people.
Copy !req
348. I like a country
where you can sue
the insurance company
Copy !req
349. but not the people
who shot you.
Copy !req
350. Anyway, cut the two paragraphs.
Copy !req
351. What?
Copy !req
352. He can sue the people
that shot him.
Copy !req
353. The people who shot him
are dead.
Copy !req
354. No.
Copy !req
355. Hardly any of them are.
Copy !req
356. till he went
on elocution safari
Copy !req
357. during the word
"protuberance."
Copy !req
358. When did he
finally nail it?
Copy !req
359. Oh, he hasn't yet.
Copy !req
360. He hasn't done it yet?
Copy !req
361. There are matters of State
to attend to, Josh.
Copy !req
362. He can't spend the day,
you know
Copy !req
363. indefinitely in this room...
Copy !req
364. What about the audience?
Copy !req
365. I sent them home.
Copy !req
366. I'm going to bring in
a new audience, you know
Copy !req
367. like the old Carson show.
Copy !req
368. What the hell
are we talking about?
Copy !req
369. Did you know
"leaf peeping" was a thing?
Copy !req
370. Josh Lyman.
Copy !req
371. Leaf peeping?
Copy !req
372. Yeah.
Copy !req
373. Sam wants
to see you.
Copy !req
374. Insurance victory.
Copy !req
375. "And the weak shall
be made mighty," Donna
Copy !req
376. not "might is right,"
but rather "might for right."
Copy !req
377. This relates
to leaf peeping how?
Copy !req
378. It doesn't.
Copy !req
379. Don't eat my
French fries.
Copy !req
380. Hey.
Copy !req
381. Hey, good, come on in.
Copy !req
382. Did you beat them
into submission?
Copy !req
383. No.
Copy !req
384. Did you beat
them at all?
Copy !req
385. Forget about the insurance.
Copy !req
386. Unless the insurance company
forgets
Copy !req
387. about the
insurance...
Copy !req
388. The Southern
Poverty Law Center.
Copy !req
389. Josh, I think you know
Copy !req
390. that for the three months
you were out recovering
Copy !req
391. a lot of people were looking
for a new legislative avenue
Copy !req
392. for Federal law enforcement
to get the extremists.
Copy !req
393. You could throw out
the Bill of Rights.
Copy !req
394. Toby tried.
Copy !req
395. I was kidding.
Copy !req
396. Josh, this is our way in,
a civil action.
Copy !req
397. You could subpoena
everything
Copy !req
398. membership rolls,
donor rolls
Copy !req
399. minutes of meetings,
weapons inventory,
computer downloads.
Copy !req
400. And you depose
every man and woman
Copy !req
401. who's every been to a meeting
Copy !req
402. and every man
and woman they name.
Copy !req
403. Josh, the Southern
Poverty Law Center wants you
Copy !req
404. to sue the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan
Copy !req
405. for $100 million.
Copy !req
406. Josh.
Copy !req
407. Yeah.
Copy !req
408. Donna called, she said
don't be late for budget.
Copy !req
409. Yeah.
Copy !req
410. I got to go.
Copy !req
411. Charlie.
Copy !req
412. Good afternoon,
ma'am.
Copy !req
413. Charlie, is
the President
free for a moment?
Copy !req
414. He's in the Roosevelt Room
with the Far East advisors.
Copy !req
415. Would you like me to...
Copy !req
416. No, no, don't
interrupt him.
Copy !req
417. Korea might have
more plutonium.
Copy !req
418. Just give him a
message for me.
Sure.
Copy !req
419. You'll want to
write this down.
Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
420. Your blood pressure
is 120 over 80.
Copy !req
421. How did you know
that, ma'am?
Copy !req
422. I'm saying his
blood pressure...
Copy !req
423. is 120 over 80.
Copy !req
424. Yeah, your EKG
Copy !req
425. shows a good
sinus rhythm.
Okay.
Copy !req
426. No evidence of
ischemic changes.
Copy !req
427. How are we spelling...
Copy !req
428. Doesn't matter.
Your electrolytes
and metabolic panels
Copy !req
429. are within
normal limits.
Copy !req
430. Chest x-ray's clear
Copy !req
431. and prostate screens
are fine.
Copy !req
432. Okay.
Copy !req
433. So we can
have sex now.
Copy !req
434. Okay, that's not
me and you, right?
Copy !req
435. Go.
Copy !req
436. Yeah.
Copy !req
437. Good afternoon,
Mrs. Bartlet.
Copy !req
438. Good afternoon,
Mrs. Landingham.
Copy !req
439. How are you today?
Copy !req
440. Oh, I'm just fine.
Thank you.
Copy !req
441. Are you looking
for the President?
Copy !req
442. I imagine he'll be
along in a moment.
Copy !req
443. Really?
Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
444. Good afternoon,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
445. Good afternoon,
Mrs. Landingham.
Copy !req
446. Is there anything I...
Copy !req
447. Go away right now.
Copy !req
448. You seem a little tense
Copy !req
449. Mr. President.
Copy !req
450. Not for long,
Mrs. Landingham.
Copy !req
451. Why don't we go inside?
Copy !req
452. Absolutely.
Copy !req
453. Sir, would you like me
Copy !req
454. to inform Mr. McGarry
and the advisors
Copy !req
455. that they could...
Copy !req
456. B.P. 120 over 80.
Copy !req
457. Who cares?
It's been 14 weeks.
Copy !req
458. Do these
curtains close?
Not here, Jed.
Copy !req
459. Yes, you're right.
Copy !req
460. Where?
Copy !req
461. How about our bedroom?
Copy !req
462. New Hampshire's
an hour and a half.
Copy !req
463. I don't have
that kind of time.
Copy !req
464. How about our bedroom
in the residence?
Copy !req
465. We have a bedroom
right here in the building.
Copy !req
466. That was so smart.
Copy !req
467. Yes.
Let's go.
Copy !req
468. Jed.
What?
Copy !req
469. Korea, plutonium.
Copy !req
470. Oh... God.
I hate plutonium.
Copy !req
471. We have to find time
before 6:00.
Copy !req
472. What happens at 6:00?
Copy !req
473. I have to fly to
Cochrane's Mills,
Pennsylvania.
Copy !req
474. Where the hell
is Cochrane's Mills?
Copy !req
475. Pennsylvania.
Copy !req
476. Right.
Copy !req
477. So, you talk
to Charlie.
Copy !req
478. I'll talk
to Lilly.
Copy !req
479. We'll coordinate
our schedules.
Copy !req
480. We'll find a free hour.
Copy !req
481. I don't think
it's going to take
Copy !req
482. more than a couple
of minutes
Copy !req
483. but I like
your confidence.
Copy !req
484. Just get back to work.
Copy !req
485. Can't we just
close the curtains?
Copy !req
486. Just get back
to work.
Copy !req
487. C.J.
Is he here?
Copy !req
488. He sent...
Carol.
Copy !req
489. He sent an aide,
Lt. Buckley.
Copy !req
490. C.J.
Copy !req
491. Ms. Cregg.
Copy !req
492. Lt. Buckley.
I'm a staff aide
to General Barrie.
Copy !req
493. I understand you need
to speak with him.
Copy !req
494. Yes, I do, so what
are you doing here?
Copy !req
495. I'm an aide to Gen...
Copy !req
496. I heard you
the first time.
Copy !req
497. Where's the General?
Copy !req
498. The General sent me.
Copy !req
499. Well, I'm going
to send you back.
Copy !req
500. Ma'am, if I could
just know the
exact nature...
Copy !req
501. Is Ed Barrie doing
the morning shows?
Copy !req
502. I wouldn't
know that, ma'am.
That's handled...
Copy !req
503. I would know,
and I do
Copy !req
504. and so do you,
so cut the crap.
Copy !req
505. Ma'am...
He's going
to go on TV
Copy !req
506. and trash
the President.
Copy !req
507. That will be the
last thing he does
before he retires?
Copy !req
508. Once again,
ma'am, it's...
Copy !req
509. Lieutenant.
Copy !req
510. He's going to trash
Copy !req
511. the President?
Copy !req
512. I don't think
it's a surprise to you
Copy !req
513. that General Barrie has
some very serious disagreements
Copy !req
514. with this administration,
particularly your President.
Copy !req
515. My President is
your President, too.
Copy !req
516. Additionally, he has
some very real concerns
Copy !req
517. over the current state of
readiness of our armed forces.
Copy !req
518. That shouldn't
get too many people
alarmed for no reason.
Copy !req
519. And so he feels that taking
this opportunity
Copy !req
520. to express his opinions—
Copy !req
521. opinions which are considered
at the most expert level—
Copy !req
522. taking this opportunity
before he leaves the service
Copy !req
523. is his patriotic obligation.
Copy !req
524. It's called ring and run.
Copy !req
525. Ma'am?
Go back to the
Pentagon right now.
Copy !req
526. Tell General Barrie
C.J. Cregg says he's a coward.
Copy !req
527. I'll be honest with you
Copy !req
528. I didn't even know
we had offices down here.
Copy !req
529. That bodes
well for me.
Copy !req
530. I wonder what else
we got down here.
Copy !req
531. Bats possibly?
Copy !req
532. Room 442 is what we're
looking for.
Copy !req
533. I wouldn't be surprised
if we see it any second now.
Copy !req
534. You really didn't
need to take me
down here, Leo.
Copy !req
535. There's no way you'd
find it yourself.
Copy !req
536. You're the White House
Chief of Staff.
Copy !req
537. You shouldn't be...
Copy !req
538. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
539. 442...
Where the hell is it?
Copy !req
540. You've been really
decent to me, Leo.
Copy !req
541. I want to thank you
for that.
Copy !req
542. Kid, the others
are going to come around.
Copy !req
543. No, they won't.
Copy !req
544. See, you've got
to remember
Copy !req
545. that the people
you're talking about
Copy !req
546. live their lives under siege,
24 hours every day
Copy !req
547. at a time in their lives
when they're trying
Copy !req
548. with all their might
to do good.
Copy !req
549. You're in their foxhole.
Copy !req
550. Sam Seaborn had this innocent
relationship with a girl—
Copy !req
551. Bam, here comes
the enemy.
Copy !req
552. I'm a recovering alcoholic—
Copy !req
553. Bam, radio, TV, magazines,
cameras in front of my house
Copy !req
554. people shouting at my daughter
at the ball game.
Copy !req
555. Editorials, op-eds—
"He's a drunk.
Copy !req
556. He's dangerous.
He should resign."
Copy !req
557. I wrote one
of those op-ed pieces.
Copy !req
558. I know.
Copy !req
559. It's right over here, 442.
Copy !req
560. It's written down here.
Copy !req
561. This is the steam pipe
trunk distribution venue.
Copy !req
562. I'm working in the steam pipe
trunk distribution venue?
Copy !req
563. No, you're working
in your office.
Copy !req
564. Well...
Copy !req
565. Thank you for the help.
Copy !req
566. Ainsley, don't worry
Copy !req
567. about Sam or Josh
and Toby or C.J.
Copy !req
568. or the Democrats
on the Hill
Copy !req
569. or the Republicans on TV.
Copy !req
570. You're here to serve
the President.
Copy !req
571. Anyway...
Copy !req
572. welcome to the White House.
Copy !req
573. Leo?
Copy !req
574. Mr. Tribbey.
Copy !req
575. I see they've found
you an office.
Copy !req
576. Such as it is.
Copy !req
577. Good men and women
have worked
Copy !req
578. in whatever room
was available in
this building
Copy !req
579. and have done so
without complaint.
Copy !req
580. I don't believe you heard me
complain, Mr. Tribbey.
Copy !req
581. I believe I did, Miss Hayes.
Copy !req
582. Now, why don't you
Copy !req
583. tell me what this is all about?
Copy !req
584. Sir?
Copy !req
585. These people here are
Copy !req
586. trying to do something.
Copy !req
587. I'll have their backs
while they're trying.
Copy !req
588. What are you
doing here?
Copy !req
589. Serving my country.
Copy !req
590. Why not join the Navy?
Copy !req
591. I was asked to do this.
Copy !req
592. And you said yes.
Yes.
Copy !req
593. Why?
Copy !req
594. I feel a sense of duty.
Copy !req
595. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
596. I said I feel a sense of duty.
Copy !req
597. What, did you
just walk out
Copy !req
598. of The Pirates of Penzance?
Copy !req
599. Sir?
Copy !req
600. "Why, he's an
Englishman."
Copy !req
601. "He is an Englishman"
is from H.M.S. Pinafore.
Copy !req
602. It's from Penzance.
Copy !req
603. Don't tell me about
Gilbert and Sullivan.
Copy !req
604. It's from Penzanceorlolanthe—
one of the ones about duty.
Copy !req
605. They're all about duty,
and it's from Pinafore.
Copy !req
606. Miss Hayes...
Copy !req
607. Is it so hard to believe,
in this day and age
Copy !req
608. that someone would roll up
their sleeves
Copy !req
609. set aside partisanship,
and say what can I do?
Copy !req
610. Yes.
Copy !req
611. I want you to go
up to the Hill
this afternoon
Copy !req
612. and I want you
to talk to the
Associate
Copy !req
613. Majority Counsel at
Governmental Affairs.
Copy !req
614. You're sending me
to the Majority Counsel
Copy !req
615. 'cause I speak Republican.
Copy !req
616. Yes. Two staffers in the
Communications Office—
Copy !req
617. Steve Joyce and
Mark Brookline—
Copy !req
618. The two you wanted to kill
with your cricket bat
Copy !req
619. for screwing up on possession
of the Rockland memo.
Copy !req
620. Yes.
Copy !req
621. Read about it,
then fix it.
Copy !req
622. I will.
Copy !req
623. And thank you for asking me.
Copy !req
624. Yeah.
Copy !req
625. Mr. Tribbey?
Copy !req
626. I'd like to do well on this,
my first assignment.
Copy !req
627. Any advice you could give me
that might point me
Copy !req
628. the way of success
would be, by me, appreciated.
Copy !req
629. Well, not speaking
in iambic pentameter might be
Copy !req
630. a step in the right direction.
Copy !req
631. Yeah.
Copy !req
632. The President's way too moderate
for your taste.
Copy !req
633. Excuse me?
Copy !req
634. Way too moderate...
Copy !req
635. on affirmative action,
capital gains
Copy !req
636. public schools,
free trade.
Copy !req
637. You left a lucrative practice
in Chicago
Copy !req
638. and a seven-figure income.
Copy !req
639. It wasn't out of duty?
Copy !req
640. How are they tying
the two shooters
Copy !req
641. and the signal
guy to the Klan?
Copy !req
642. They're tying them
to the Klan
Copy !req
643. West Virginia White Pride
Copy !req
644. the Brotherhood
of Aryan Nations.
Copy !req
645. How does that...?
Copy !req
646. The following is in
the possession of the FBI:
Copy !req
647. A map and the President's
itinerary
Copy !req
648. given to the shooters
by the chapter head
of White Pride
Copy !req
649. a videotape of a meeting
the shooters attended
Copy !req
650. with the leader railing
against interracial couples
Copy !req
651. specifically citing
Charlie and Zoey
Copy !req
652. using the term
"lone wolf" over and over
Copy !req
653. which is the phrase
they use when they want
Copy !req
654. their younger members
to take matters into
their own hands
Copy !req
655. a copy of Hunter,
by William Pierce
Copy !req
656. bought at a Klan rally
in Blacksburg.
Copy !req
657. In the book,
Pierce encourages
fellow supremacists
Copy !req
658. to rid the Earth
of interracial couples
Copy !req
659. by shooting them.
Copy !req
660. This is enough,
more than enough
Copy !req
661. to begin deposing witnesses.
Copy !req
662. You wanted to see me?
Copy !req
663. Uh, yeah— I just
wanted to tell you
Copy !req
664. that Joyce and Brookline
are at it again.
Copy !req
665. What'd they do?
Copy !req
666. They told
Government Affairs
Copy !req
667. that we never had
the Rockland memo.
Copy !req
668. I think we did have
the Rockland memo.
Copy !req
669. We did. Would you talk
to the two of them?
Copy !req
670. Yeah— I think
I also better talk
Copy !req
671. to somebody
in Government Affairs.
Copy !req
672. Tribbey already
sent Ainsley Hayes.
Copy !req
673. To do what?
Copy !req
674. Talk to the Associate Majority—
Copy !req
675. That's something I couldn't do?
Copy !req
676. He wanted to send a lawyer.
Copy !req
677. I'm a lawyer; everybody
in the room's a lawyer.
Copy !req
678. From the Counsel's Office.
Copy !req
679. Good— and I'll tell
everybody else to keep
Copy !req
680. their fingers crossed
a story hasn't been leaked
Copy !req
681. we withheld evidence,
then tried to cover our tracks.
Copy !req
682. Sam, that's enough.
Copy !req
683. Anything else?
Copy !req
684. No.
Copy !req
685. Thank you.
Copy !req
686. His point isn't
wholly without merit.
Copy !req
687. What do you need?
Copy !req
688. Sam was talking to me.
Copy !req
689. The Southern Poverty
Law Center...
Copy !req
690. We know.
Copy !req
691. What do you think?
Copy !req
692. Well, I'm not wild about it.
Copy !req
693. Why?
Copy !req
694. Our people can be deposed, too
Copy !req
695. which leaves them vulnerable
Copy !req
696. to embarrassing
questions like...
Copy !req
697. "Have you ever tried cocaine?"
Copy !req
698. They can ask Sam has he ever
slept with a prostitute.
Copy !req
699. Those questions are irrelevant.
Copy !req
700. That's why
they'll ask them.
Copy !req
701. If one of our people
Copy !req
702. refuses to answer,
it's a story.
Copy !req
703. So we're not wild about it.
Copy !req
704. That said, say the word,
we'll take a leave of absence
Copy !req
705. and join your legal team.
Copy !req
706. Tribbey says it's from Penzance,
by the way.
Copy !req
707. It's from Pinafore.
Copy !req
708. He says it's the one about duty.
Copy !req
709. They're all about duty.
Copy !req
710. I want to be very clear.
I could give a damn.
Copy !req
711. Yeah.
Copy !req
712. Okay, Saturday morning
radio address, Take 21.
Copy !req
713. I have a really good feeling
about this one, sir.
Copy !req
714. Is this still
my first term?
Copy !req
715. Yes, sir, but I do
take your point.
Copy !req
716. We've spent
quite a bit of time on this.
Copy !req
717. Here we go.
Copy !req
718. In five, four, three, two...
Copy !req
719. "Good evening."
Copy !req
720. Cut.
Copy !req
721. What?
What?
Copy !req
722. It's morning.
Copy !req
723. It's evening.
Copy !req
724. It's dark outside,
Charlie.
Copy !req
725. It's evening now, Mr. President.
Copy !req
726. It's morning tomorrow.
Copy !req
727. What time is it?
Copy !req
728. It's 5:45, sir.
Copy !req
729. Here we go.
Copy !req
730. In five...
Copy !req
731. Excuse me.
Copy !req
732. No, I can't.
Copy !req
733. I got to go.
Copy !req
734. Sir, I...
Copy !req
735. Kids, I am so sorry.
Copy !req
736. I have to go now
to a special meeting
Copy !req
737. of the government.
Copy !req
738. I will mail you all
Copy !req
739. an autographed copy
of the picture we took together
Copy !req
740. and one day,
you will all understand.
Copy !req
741. Mr. President.
Copy !req
742. Take a break, Charlie.
Copy !req
743. She's not there, sir.
Copy !req
744. I'm going to a
special meeting—
Copy !req
745. Of the government.
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
746. She had to go
to Pennsylvania early.
Copy !req
747. Would you like
to come back inside
Copy !req
748. and take another swing
at the radio address?
Copy !req
749. Sure.
Copy !req
750. Would you like to get
that smile off your face
Copy !req
751. before I send you
Copy !req
752. on special assignment
to the Yukon?
Copy !req
753. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
754. I've ordered many men
on assignment, Ms. Cregg.
Copy !req
755. I've sent them
Copy !req
756. to Hue City, Khe Sanh
Village, Danang—
Copy !req
757. Sir...
Copy !req
758. Don't interrupt me, lady.
Copy !req
759. I've sent them
to Grenada
Copy !req
760. I've sent them
to Haiti
Copy !req
761. and I've sent them
Copy !req
762. to Iraqi-occupied
Kuwait.
Copy !req
763. All acts
of cowardice?
Copy !req
764. Sir...
Copy !req
765. You think sending
my aide here
Copy !req
766. was an act
of cowardice?
Copy !req
767. You think I have
the time and
inclination...
Copy !req
768. Sir, due respect—
Copy !req
769. that wasn't what
I was referring to.
Copy !req
770. I think jumping
up and down
Copy !req
771. on the Commander in Chief
Copy !req
772. and then beating
a path out of town
Copy !req
773. is an act of cowardice.
Copy !req
774. I think alerting
the public
Copy !req
775. to staggeringly dangerous
vulnerabilities
Copy !req
776. of the current state
of the military
Copy !req
777. is an act of conscience.
Copy !req
778. And I would, too,
sir, except—
Copy !req
779. and again I say this
with all due respect—
Copy !req
780. Shove your respect!
I don't want it!
Copy !req
781. I say this
with all due respect.
Copy !req
782. I think your motives
are personal
Copy !req
783. and I'd like
to discuss that, sir.
Copy !req
784. Sure— How about we discuss
new defense spending
Copy !req
785. being down to $300 billion
from $400 billion ten years ago?
Copy !req
786. Is that personal?
Copy !req
787. No sir, I think that's about
Copy !req
788. the Cold War ending
ten years ago
Copy !req
789. and America not needing
to spend quite so much money
Copy !req
790. defending itself against
a country that can't bake bread.
Copy !req
791. Kitten...
Copy !req
792. Op-tempo is up,
which is fine
Copy !req
793. but the problem is,
pers-tempo is up, too.
Copy !req
794. Do you know
what that is?
Copy !req
795. It's the rate
of turnover in
individual jobs.
Copy !req
796. Yes, sir,
pers-tempo is up
Copy !req
797. because higher-paying
civilian jobs
are luring men
Copy !req
798. and women trained
in high tech.
Copy !req
799. We're more than happy
to take the rap
Copy !req
800. for a booming economy, sir.
Copy !req
801. Two divisions:
Copy !req
802. the Tenth Mountain
Division at Fort Drum
Copy !req
803. and the First
Infantry in Germany
Copy !req
804. have been rated C-4.
Copy !req
805. That's the lowest
of four possible
readiness grades.
Copy !req
806. it means "unfit
for service."
Copy !req
807. No, sir— Again,
with all respect,
I hate to disagree
Copy !req
808. but it means
unfit for service
Copy !req
809. based on the Pentagon's
"two war" doctrine.
Copy !req
810. It's based on how fast
these divisions would
Copy !req
811. be able to extract themselves
from their peacekeeping mission
Copy !req
812. retrain on home bases,
and ship off to a second of two
Copy !req
813. full-scale,
Gulf-War-sized conflicts.
Copy !req
814. There are also some
Copy !req
815. both inside and outside
the Pentagon
Copy !req
816. who question whether
the C-4 ratings might not be
Copy !req
817. a political maneuver
on the part of the DOD
Copy !req
818. to help Republican allies
in Congress
Copy !req
819. secure more
defense money.
Copy !req
820. Well, I'll be telling my story
to Tim Russert.
Copy !req
821. No, I don't think you will,
General.
Copy !req
822. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
823. I said I don't think
you will.
Copy !req
824. I notice among
your many decorations
Copy !req
825. is the Distinguished
Combat Service Medal.
Copy !req
826. You're wearing it now
Copy !req
827. as well as in numerous
photographs
Copy !req
828. including some taken
with enlisted men
in the field.
Copy !req
829. You won it while
on temporary duty
Copy !req
830. with the Navy's
U.S.S. Brooke.
Copy !req
831. The thing is,
the Brooke was never fired on
Copy !req
832. and it never shot its guns.
Copy !req
833. Right now,
and in photographs
Copy !req
834. you're wearing a medal
you never won.
Copy !req
835. How does that usually go over
with the boys?
Copy !req
836. He never served
in uniform—
Copy !req
837. not once—
Copy !req
838. and he presumes—
Copy !req
839. Is there anything else, sir?
Copy !req
840. Excuse me...
Copy !req
841. I'm looking for Steve Joyce
and Mark Brookline.
Copy !req
842. Steve? Mark?
Copy !req
843. Thanks.
Copy !req
844. Hi, I'm Ainsley Hayes.
Copy !req
845. Mark Brookline.
Copy !req
846. Steve Joyce.
Copy !req
847. Is there someplace a little
more private we can speak?
Copy !req
848. What do you think,
the Oval Office?
Copy !req
849. The Oval Office works.
Copy !req
850. Or the Cabinet Room.
Copy !req
851. Why don't we just
step out into the hall.
Copy !req
852. Okay, we'll keep
our voices down.
Copy !req
853. Okay.
Copy !req
854. Lionel Tribbey asked me
Copy !req
855. to take care
of the false testimony
Copy !req
856. you gave to the Governmental
Affairs Committee.
Copy !req
857. False testimony?
Copy !req
858. Regarding the Rockland memo.
Copy !req
859. Look at your watch, Steve.
Copy !req
860. 17 seconds it took her
to call us liars.
Copy !req
861. Fellas, that's not
what I was saying...
Copy !req
862. I chose the wrong word
and I apologize.
Copy !req
863. Mistaken testimony—
you're absolutely right.
Copy !req
864. Anyway, I spoke
to the Associate Counsel
Copy !req
865. and I think
we're going to be fine.
Copy !req
866. Two things I wanted
to mention:
Copy !req
867. Mark— I'm sorry,
I have work to do.
Copy !req
868. Yeah.
Copy !req
869. No, this'll just
take a second.
Copy !req
870. First of all, forgive me
if I'm repeating somebody else
Copy !req
871. but I'd be remiss if I didn't
make sure you understood
Copy !req
872. that Section 194
of the Federal Code
Copy !req
873. says Congress can turn
your testimony over
to a U.S. Attorney
Copy !req
874. and he'd most likely
impanel a Grand Jury.
Copy !req
875. You don't want
any part of that.
Copy !req
876. Thanks— You know,
we both went to
high school.
Copy !req
877. Yeah... um...
Copy !req
878. The second thing is this:
Copy !req
879. Your attitude during
your testimony is being taken
Copy !req
880. by some of the Republican
committee members
Copy !req
881. as a sign of disrespect.
Copy !req
882. Oh, please.
Copy !req
883. No, hang on
a second.
Copy !req
884. This is so easy to fix
Copy !req
885. we are going
to pick up yardage.
Copy !req
886. Write a short note
Copy !req
887. have it delivered by messenger
to the Majority Counsel
Copy !req
888. and copy the Chairman
and the Speaker.
Copy !req
889. Your first act on the job
Copy !req
890. is asking us to apologize
to the Republicans
Copy !req
891. on the Governmental
Affairs Committee.
Copy !req
892. And the Speaker
of the House, Steve.
Copy !req
893. Because they didn't like
Copy !req
894. our attitude?
Copy !req
895. Yeah, I know
this doesn't look good.
Copy !req
896. But the fact is,
it's the smart thing to do.
Copy !req
897. And if you don't do it
at my suggestion
Copy !req
898. I know Lionel Tribbey
is going to come down here
Copy !req
899. and you're going
to have to do it at his.
Copy !req
900. I have work to do.
Copy !req
901. Yeah.
Copy !req
902. Good evening,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
903. Guys, it's very important
Copy !req
904. that nobody tries to kill me
in the next hour or so.
Copy !req
905. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
906. Where have you been?
Copy !req
907. I was on a conference call
Copy !req
908. with Cardinal Law and
the Archbishop of Chicago.
Copy !req
909. You couldn't get off the phone?
Copy !req
910. Yeah, excuse me,
Your Eminence
Copy !req
911. but the First Lady
is a little randy
Copy !req
912. and she says I'm good to go.
Copy !req
913. I am a little randy, Jed.
Good.
Copy !req
914. Take your clothes off.
Copy !req
915. Whatever happened to romance?
Copy !req
916. A couple of cocktails
Copy !req
917. Mel Torme...
Copy !req
918. Get 'em off.
Copy !req
919. Okay, I'll go into the bathroom
Copy !req
920. where I am going to change
into a special little garment
Copy !req
921. I think you might enjoy.
Copy !req
922. Abbey, you have two minutes
Copy !req
923. or I swear to God
Copy !req
924. I'm going to get
Mrs. Landingham drunk.
Copy !req
925. Loosen your tie.
Loosen whatever you'd like.
Copy !req
926. What was that thing
you were doing?
Copy !req
927. When?
Copy !req
928. Tonight, in Pennsylvania.
Copy !req
929. You know what it was.
Copy !req
930. It was a monument dedication.
A statue.
Copy !req
931. Yeah.
Copy !req
932. A statue to who?
Copy !req
933. Nellie Bly.
Copy !req
934. You went all the way
to Cochrane's whatever
Copy !req
935. to dedicate a monument
to Nellie Bly?
Copy !req
936. Abbey, you can really pass
that kind of thing along.
Copy !req
937. You don't have to accept
every invitation
Copy !req
938. from every yahoo
historical society
Copy !req
939. that knows someone
in the social office.
Copy !req
940. If you want,
I can have Charlie...
Copy !req
941. You haven't changed into the...
Copy !req
942. "special garment."
Copy !req
943. Cochrane's Mills
is where I went.
Copy !req
944. Yeah.
Copy !req
945. You know what I did,
just then, that was stupid?
Copy !req
946. I minimized the importance
of the statue
Copy !req
947. that was dedicated
to Nellie Bly
Copy !req
948. an extraordinary woman
Copy !req
949. to whom we all
owe a great deal.
Copy !req
950. You don't know who
she is, do you?
Copy !req
951. This isn't happening to me.
Copy !req
952. She pioneered
investigative
journalism.
Copy !req
953. Then she's the one I want
to beat the crap out of.
Copy !req
954. She risked her life
by having herself
committed
Copy !req
955. to a mental institution
for ten days
Copy !req
956. so she could
write about it.
Copy !req
957. She changed entirely
Copy !req
958. the way we treat
the mentally ill
in this country.
Copy !req
959. Yes, Abigail—
Copy !req
960. In 1890, she traveled
around the world
Copy !req
961. in 72 days, 6 hours,
11 minutes and 14 seconds
Copy !req
962. besting, by more than one week,
Jules Verne's 80 days.
Copy !req
963. She sounds like
an incredible woman, Abbey.
Copy !req
964. I'm particularly
impressed that she beat
a fictional record.
Copy !req
965. If she goes 21,000 leagues
under the sea
Copy !req
966. I'll name a damn school
after her— Let's have sex.
Copy !req
967. When it comes
to historical figures
Copy !req
968. being memorialized
in this country
Copy !req
969. women have been
Copy !req
970. largely overlooked.
Copy !req
971. Nellie Bly is just
the tip of the iceberg.
Copy !req
972. I couldn't possibly hear about
Copy !req
973. the rest of the iceberg
Copy !req
974. right now.
Elizabeth Blackwell
Copy !req
975. was the first
American woman
Copy !req
976. to be awarded an M.D.--
She founded
Copy !req
977. the Women's
Medical College...
Keep talking.
Copy !req
978. I'm just going
to sit here
Copy !req
979. and think about plutonium
and the things I can do with it.
Copy !req
980. Brown v. Invisible Empire,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
Copy !req
981. the court found for
the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference
Copy !req
982. and the marchers
attacked in Decatur.
Sam...
Copy !req
983. Vietnamese Fisherman's
Association
Copy !req
984. v. The Knights of the KKK.
Copy !req
985. A civil action
enjoining the Klan
Copy !req
986. from operating the Texas
paramilitary army.
Copy !req
987. They shut
them down.
Yeah...
Copy !req
988. Donald v. United
Klans of America.
Copy !req
989. A suit on behalf of a black
youth who was lynched.
Copy !req
990. The jury returned a
$7 million verdict
Copy !req
991. and deeded the headquarters
to the mother.
Copy !req
992. The court took
the Bat Cave, Josh.
Copy !req
993. Sam, here's the thing:
It's not just—
Hang on a second.
Copy !req
994. I'm kind of caught in a—
Copy !req
995. Hang on a second.
Copy !req
996. Hey.
Copy !req
997. Hey.
Copy !req
998. Hey.
Copy !req
999. Did you talk to
Steve Joyce and
Mark Brookline?
Copy !req
1000. Yes, I did.
Copy !req
1001. See, I was told you'd
just be working
Copy !req
1002. in the Majority
Counsel's Office
Copy !req
1003. which I wasn't wild about
Copy !req
1004. but it's my understanding
that I'd be talking to them
Copy !req
1005. seeing as how
they work for me.
Copy !req
1006. I was taking initiative.
Copy !req
1007. Well, wasn't that
spunky of you?
Copy !req
1008. Sam, do you think
there's any chance
Copy !req
1009. that you could
be rude to me tomorrow?
Copy !req
1010. Tomorrow is Saturday;
I will be here.
Copy !req
1011. You can call me
and be rude by phone
Copy !req
1012. or you can stop by
and do it in person
Copy !req
1013. 'cause I think
if I have to endure
Copy !req
1014. another disappointment today
Copy !req
1015. from this place
that I have worshipped
Copy !req
1016. I am going to lose it.
Copy !req
1017. So if you could wait
until tomorrow
Copy !req
1018. I would appreciate it.
Copy !req
1019. Anyway...
Copy !req
1020. the jury returned
a $7 million...
Copy !req
1021. I'll be back
in just a second, okay?
Copy !req
1022. Ainsley?
Copy !req
1023. Look...
Copy !req
1024. Can I talk to you for a minute?
Copy !req
1025. All I was really trying
to say...
Copy !req
1026. Who did this?
Copy !req
1027. Who did this?
Copy !req
1028. I don't know.
Copy !req
1029. Yes, you do.
Copy !req
1030. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
1031. Who sent you this?
Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
1032. Ainsley?
Copy !req
1033. Sam...
Copy !req
1034. How did your meeting go
with Brookline and Joyce?
Copy !req
1035. It went great, Sam—
I talked to them
Copy !req
1036. for a couple of minutes,
and I think that—
Copy !req
1037. Sam!
Copy !req
1038. Did anybody order a pizza
Copy !req
1039. and if they didn't,
could they do it now?
Copy !req
1040. You know what, guys?
Copy !req
1041. When I write something,
I sign my name.
Copy !req
1042. Here, I'll show you.
Copy !req
1043. Sam!
Copy !req
1044. Do you have any idea
Copy !req
1045. how big a harassment suit
you just exposed us to?
Copy !req
1046. She just...
Copy !req
1047. She works here.
Copy !req
1048. Which is more than I can say
for either one of you.
Copy !req
1049. You're fired. S. Seaborn.
Copy !req
1050. Sam, I don't know
who you think you are
Copy !req
1051. but you can't fire us.
Copy !req
1052. Oh...
Copy !req
1053. yes, he can.
Copy !req
1054. Leave here, and
don't ever come back.
Copy !req
1055. It's time for both of you
to write your book now.
Copy !req
1056. Lionel.
Copy !req
1057. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
1058. I'm... nothing.
Copy !req
1059. I'm not... nothing.
Copy !req
1060. Except it's from Pinafore.
Copy !req
1061. It's from Penzance.
Copy !req
1062. I hate to stick my head
in the lion's mouth
Copy !req
1063. but I got to ask you:
Copy !req
1064. Were you the recording secretary
Copy !req
1065. of the Princeton Gilbert and
Sullivan Society for two years?
Copy !req
1066. No, but then again,
I'm not a woman, so...
Copy !req
1067. I was just saying—
Copy !req
1068. Little drinks I'm supposed
to be having right now
Copy !req
1069. umbrellas sticking
out of them.
Copy !req
1070. Shishkabob.
Copy !req
1071. Belva Lockwood, for instance
Copy !req
1072. the first woman
to practice law.
Copy !req
1073. She argued a case in front of
the U.S. Supreme Court in 1879
Copy !req
1074. decades before she'd have
the right to vote.
Copy !req
1075. Ellen Swallow Richards
Copy !req
1076. the first woman to be
a professional chemist.
Copy !req
1077. Maria Mitchell,
who discovered a comet in 1847
Copy !req
1078. and was the first woman admitted
Copy !req
1079. to the Academy of Arts
and Sciences.
Copy !req
1080. Oh, I could go on and on
and on and on.
Copy !req
1081. The fact remains that,
of all of the monuments
Copy !req
1082. built with public money
Copy !req
1083. only 50 of them pay tribute
Copy !req
1084. to the women who helped
build this country
Copy !req
1085. and open its doors to all our
daughters who would follow.
Copy !req
1086. In the coming months, I'll
try to persuade Congress
Copy !req
1087. to rectify that.
Copy !req
1088. In the meantime,
enjoy your weekend.
Copy !req
1089. God bless you
and God bless America.
Copy !req
1090. We're out.
Copy !req
1091. Do it live,
that's what I always say.
Copy !req
1092. Very nice, babe.
Copy !req
1093. By the way, Sweet Knees,
the Statue of Liberty.
Copy !req
1094. Get upstairs.
Copy !req
1095. Right there at the front door
Copy !req
1096. to the country.
Copy !req
1097. Get upstairs.
Like a lawn jockey.
Copy !req
1098. Mr. President?
Copy !req
1099. C.J., the President's
going to take
Copy !req
1100. a little personal
staff time...
No, it's okay.
Copy !req
1101. I'll be right
behind you.
Copy !req
1102. Special garment.
Copy !req
1103. Go.
Copy !req
1104. Mr. President.
Copy !req
1105. Is this about Ed Barrie?
Copy !req
1106. Yes, it is.
I wanted to ask...
Copy !req
1107. Go ahead and let him
out of the box.
Copy !req
1108. Say what you want about Barrie
Copy !req
1109. and I can say plenty
Copy !req
1110. but the man was
the first one in
and the last one out
Copy !req
1111. of a war that I didn't want
anything to do with.
Copy !req
1112. The man's earned the right
to say whatever he wants.
Copy !req
1113. Let him out of the box,
would you?
Copy !req
1114. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1115. Anything else?
No, sir.
Copy !req
1116. I'm out of here.
Copy !req
1117. It ties up the staff
Copy !req
1118. indefinitely when there are...
Copy !req
1119. I mean, there are other things
they should be doing.
Copy !req
1120. I'd appear to be using
a high-profile position
Copy !req
1121. for my personal agenda.
I don't—
Copy !req
1122. But mostly, I just think
a lawsuit is too small.
Copy !req
1123. I can't have it be like
Copy !req
1124. I slipped in their driveway.
Copy !req
1125. It's different
than that to me.
Copy !req
1126. I don't want to sue them.
Copy !req
1127. Okay.
Copy !req
1128. What about the
insurance company?
Copy !req
1129. Them I'll sue, no problem.
Copy !req
1130. Yeah.
Copy !req
1131. We're on our way.
Copy !req
1132. She's here, let's go.

1133. Hello?
