62. "Notre Dame is going

63. they so richly deserve."Copy !req
64. Bruno and Hess?
Yeah.Copy !req

Mr. President.Copy !req
76. How you doing?Copy !req
77. Very well,

78. I think it's great you decided

94. You told him about the tanker?Copy !req
95. Yeah. I wish
he'd canceled the event.Copy !req
96. It's a long flight.Copy !req
97. He likes long flights.Copy !req
98. He gets to talk to everybody
and think out loud.Copy !req
99. Yeah, but then he lands.Copy !req
100. Yeah, so? Well, then he lands.Copy !req
101. Anyway, I'm going to meet
with, uh, Matt Skinner.Copy !req
102. Tonight?Copy !req
103. Yeah.Copy !req
104. He's going to say the language
in the bill doesn't prohibit...Copy !req
105. Yeah, but it creates
a Federal definition.Copy !req
106. Still, at the State level...Copy !req
107. Yeah. Are you
sticking around tonight?Copy !req
108. The President's going to have to
make a decision from the plane.Copy !req
109. Okay, I have to go.Copy !req

116. Why?Copy !req
117. It's time to go.Copy !req
118. Not for me. Matt Skinner's
coming down from the Hill.Copy !req
119. When did this happen?Copy !req
120. Two minutes ago.
Did you have plans?Copy !req
121. Did I have plans?Copy !req
122. Did you?
Look at me.Copy !req
123. Hey, you look good!Copy !req
124. Yes, I do.Copy !req
125. You weren't wearing that
during the day today.Copy !req
126. Pity the girl who tries to get
something past you, Josh.Copy !req
127. Did you steal that dress?Copy !req
128. I bought this dress.Copy !req
129. But you're returning it
tomorrow.Copy !req
130. Yes, I am.
That's stealing.Copy !req
131. I'm giving it back.Copy !req
132. After wearing it once.Copy !req
133. There's a word for this.
It's "stealing."Copy !req
134. I'm a girl on a budget, Josh—
I'm being thrifty.Copy !req
135. Yes, and felonious.Copy !req
136. What are your plans?
Look...Copy !req
137. What are your plans?Copy !req
138. We're having drinks,
we're having dinnerCopy !req
139. we are dancing,
we are having dessert.Copy !req
140. No problem.
You can do all those thingsCopy !req
141. except for the drinks,
the dancing and the dessertCopy !req
142. and you need to be done
with dinnerCopy !req
143. in an hour and five minutes.Copy !req
144. Do you see what I'm wearing?Copy !req
145. If you want to have sex,
you better do it during dinner.Copy !req
146. This is the guy, Josh.Copy !req
147. This is a great guy.Copy !req
148. His name is Todd.Copy !req
149. You met him for five minutes
at a party.Copy !req
150. I got the good vibe.Copy !req
151. Okay.Copy !req
152. I have an excellent sense
about these things.Copy !req
153. You actually have no sense
about these things.Copy !req
154. You have no vibe.Copy !req
155. You have terrible
taste in menCopy !req
156. and your desire
to be coupled upCopy !req
157. will always and forever
drown outCopy !req
158. any small sense of self
or self-worth that you may have.Copy !req
159. You're a downer, you know that?Copy !req
160. I'm calling you Deputy Downer
from now on.Copy !req
161. Be back by the time I'm done
with Skinner.Copy !req
162. Captain ( over intercom):
Good evening, ladies
and gentlemenCopy !req
163. from the flight deck.Copy !req
164. We're just passing through
22,000 feetCopy !req
165. en route to our cruising
altitude of 38,000 feet.Copy !req
166. Our flight plan this eveningCopy !req
167. will take us over
Pittsburgh and ClevelandCopy !req
168. passing 190 miles south
of the University of Notre DameCopy !req
169. then over Rapid City,
South DakotaCopy !req
170. Casper, Wyoming...Copy !req
171. Toby?Copy !req
172. Let me see it.Copy !req
173. Can I talk to you a second?Copy !req
174. Is it done?Copy !req
175. It's not.
Sam.Copy !req
176. It's not... it's not good.Copy !req
177. It's not going well.Copy !req
178. We've had meetings...Copy !req
179. Toby...Copy !req
180. for the last three weeks.Copy !req
181. I'm not confused
about policy.Copy !req
182. What's the problem?Copy !req
183. I'm not writing well.
I'm just...Copy !req
184. I'd rather not distribute this
to the pool yet.Copy !req
185. Mr. Ziegler,
Mr. SeabornCopy !req
186. do you know what
you'd like for dinner?Copy !req
187. We'll be eating
in the conference room.Copy !req
188. I'll have a club sandwich,
Jack Daniels and ice.Copy !req
189. Mr. Seaborn?
Nothing for me.Copy !req
190. You have to have
something.Copy !req
191. I'm fine.Copy !req
192. Bring him a club sandwich.Copy !req
193. Yes, sir.Copy !req
194. Nice hat.Copy !req
195. Shut up.Copy !req
196. Sam and I are going
to work for a little bit.Copy !req
197. You'll have draft copiesCopy !req
198. to distribute to the press
in about three hours.Copy !req
199. It was already
distributed.Copy !req
200. W-what do you mean?Copy !req
201. It was already
distributed.Copy !req
202. You have to get it back.Copy !req
203. I can't get
it back.
C.J...Copy !req
204. They know you're
polishing it.Copy !req
205. I'm doing more
than polishing it, C.J.Copy !req
206. You got to
get it back.Copy !req
207. I'll tell them
there's a new
draft, and...Copy !req
208. You've got to get
the old draft back.Copy !req
209. They're not going
to read it.Copy !req
210. So what?
They might.Copy !req
211. It's very bad writing
and it's gotCopy !req
212. Sam!
my fingerprints
all over it.Copy !req
213. C.J., try to get
it back. Come on.Copy !req
214. Miss Cregg, do you know
what you'd like for dinner?Copy !req
215. Try to get
it back.Copy !req
216. Yeah.Copy !req
217. Miss Cregg, do you know
what you'd like for dinner?Copy !req
218. We've got pasta salad?Copy !req
219. It's good.Copy !req
220. I'll take it.Copy !req
221. C.J.Copy !req
222. Mr. President.Copy !req
223. What does the island
of Qais mean to you?Copy !req
224. I know it's known
as a rendezvous pointCopy !req
225. for Iraqi oil smugglers.Copy !req
226. About two hours agoCopy !req
227. we stopped a Cypress-
flagged ship called
the Nicosia.Copy !req
228. We believe it to be
carrying petroleum
products out of IraqCopy !req
229. in violation of
U.N. sanctions.Copy !req
230. What do we do
when that happens?Copy !req
231. We board the ship,
we test a sample
of the oilCopy !req
232. we determine its
point of originCopy !req
233. and if it's black-
market, the oil
company gets fined.Copy !req
234. Don't they also get
to sell the oil?Copy !req
235. Yes.Copy !req
236. Doesn't the profit from the sale
exceed the fine?Copy !req
237. It dramatically
exceeds the fine.Copy !req
238. So, what do you
think we should do?Copy !req
239. If you're going to have
sanctions, have sanctions.Copy !req
240. There should be
genuine disincentive.Copy !req
241. I agree. Charlie?Copy !req
242. Here you go.Copy !req
243. What's this?Copy !req
244. The lyrics to the
Notre Dame fight song.Copy !req
245. It would please meCopy !req
246. if you would lead
the press in a renditionCopy !req
247. as we pass
over South Bend.Copy !req
248. Yes, sir.Copy !req
249. All five verses,
please.Copy !req
250. Go, Irish.Copy !req
251. You bet your ass.Copy !req
252. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
253. Yes, could I have
a chocolate chip muffinCopy !req
254. a can of Fresca
and a bag of ice, please?Copy !req
255. We don't have Fresca.Copy !req
256. Really?Copy !req
257. No, ma'am.Copy !req
258. You should really
have Fresca.Copy !req
259. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
260. I'll take a ginger ale.Copy !req
261. Ainsley?Copy !req
262. Good evening, Leo.Copy !req
263. What's with the fan?Copy !req
264. I just went and got it
from my apartment.Copy !req
265. It's 17 degrees outside.Copy !req
266. Then I should move
my desk outsideCopy !req
267. 'cause it's 103
in my office.Copy !req
268. The heat's
not working?Copy !req
269. No, the heat's
working great.Copy !req
270. I can vouch for
that personally.Copy !req
271. Okay.Copy !req
272. You should really have Fresca
in the building.Copy !req
273. I'll get
right on that.Copy !req
274. Hey, Matt.Copy !req
275. You let Donna out?Copy !req
276. Temporarily.
She's having dinner.Copy !req
277. Oh, with who?Copy !req
278. A guy she has
no future with.Copy !req
279. Why no future?Copy !req
280. Because I say so. You want
some coffee or something?Copy !req
281. Uh, you got a beer?Copy !req
282. Yeah.Copy !req
283. It's too bad this is
going to be rushed.Copy !req
284. I'm sorry?Copy !req
285. It's too bad we're
talking about thisCopy !req
286. for the first time
right now.Copy !req
287. I would've thought
that was by design.Copy !req
288. Really?Copy !req
289. The ten days are
up tomorrow.
We know.Copy !req
290. We know you know.Copy !req
291. Josh, the language
doesn't prohibit
same-sex marriage.Copy !req
292. Of course it does.Copy !req
293. It ensures that,
for the purposes of
Federal programs...Copy !req
294. that government
will define marriageCopy !req
295. as a union between
a man and a woman.Copy !req
296. That's right,
while doing nothingCopy !req
297. to prohibit gay marriage
on a state level.Copy !req
298. While doing nothing
to prohibit it?Copy !req
299. If you look at
the language.Copy !req
300. Matt.Copy !req
301. Yeah?Copy !req
302. When this bill was being
discussed on the floorCopy !req
303. there were some very ugly things
said about homosexuals.Copy !req
304. Yes.Copy !req
305. They were said by members
of your own party.Copy !req
306. In fact, they were said
by one of the guysCopy !req
307. who escorted you here tonight
who's sittingCopy !req
308. out in the lobby.Copy !req
309. Yes, they were.Copy !req
310. You support this bill.Copy !req
311. Yes, I do.Copy !req
312. Congressman...Copy !req
313. You're gay.Copy !req
314. Yes, I am.Copy !req
315. What's going on, Mark?Copy !req
316. The Sudanese captain
of the tanker refusedCopy !req
317. to let Navy personnel board.Copy !req
318. Oh, man.Copy !req
319. A CH-47 Seahawk helicopterCopy !req
320. was dispatched from the
destroyer USS Monterey.Copy !req
321. The copter tried to landCopy !req
322. but seamen obstructed
the deck with freight.Copy !req
323. What else did they obstruct
the deck with?Copy !req
324. They fired
warning shots.Copy !req
325. From what?Copy !req
326. Russian-made
Kalashnikovs.Copy !req
327. AK-47s.Copy !req
328. Yes, at which point the SeahawkCopy !req
329. retreated to its
carrier group.Copy !req
330. Where are we now?Copy !req
331. Central Command's
going to haveCopy !req
332. two F-18s buzz the ship,
fire warning shots over the bow.Copy !req
333. There's no way
this ends good.Copy !req
334. In fact,
it's already over.Copy !req
335. It's not over yet.Copy !req
336. Trust me. I'll call
the President.Copy !req
337. Yeah?Copy !req
338. You have a phone call.Copy !req
339. From whom?Copy !req
340. Can I just say
that all I meant beforeCopy !req
341. was that if I
was marriedCopy !req
342. and got divorced
and my divorce
papers cameCopy !req
343. and I was an alcoholic,
I would want to be...Copy !req
344. The President.
Who's on the phone?Copy !req
345. Yes, sir.Copy !req
346. What's our goal?Copy !req
347. I'm sorry, sir?Copy !req
348. What are we trying to do?Copy !req
349. We're trying to seize the ship
and escort it to Bahrain.Copy !req
350. All right. The F-18 pilots.Copy !req
351. They fire warning shots;
maybe take out the propeller.Copy !req
352. Leo, just so they know—
it's a tanker full of crude oil.Copy !req
353. If they miss the propeller
and hit something else...Copy !req
354. They know.Copy !req
355. Excuse me, Mr. President.Copy !req
356. Would you stop lookingCopy !req
357. at me like that?Copy !req
358. What was that?Copy !req
359. Margaret was giving me a look.Copy !req
360. Why?Copy !req
361. My divorce papers came today.Copy !req
362. She thinks I'm going to drink.Copy !req
363. I didn't know that.Copy !req
364. Don't worry about it,
Mr. President.Copy !req
365. I'll keep you posted.Copy !req
366. Okay.Copy !req
367. Why don't I have a final draft
of tomorrow morning's...?Copy !req
368. Toby and Sam are working on it.Copy !req
369. What's wrong with it?Copy !req
370. Sam doesn't like the writing.Copy !req
371. Sam wrote it.Copy !req
372. He's taking another swing.Copy !req
373. All right.Copy !req
374. "I'm calling
on all AmericansCopy !req
375. "young and old,
Democrat, RepublicanCopy !req
376. or none of the above, to make
education a national priority."Copy !req
377. Okay.Copy !req
378. "None of the above."Copy !req
379. It's a pedestrian phrase
and has no place.Copy !req
380. Yeah.Copy !req
381. Also, was education
not a national priority before?Copy !req
382. Right.Copy !req
383. It's an easy fix.Copy !req
384. No.
All we need
to do is...Copy !req
385. No, what?Copy !req
386. No, it's not an easy fix.Copy !req
387. Sam...Copy !req
388. This should...Copy !req
389. Yeah?Copy !req
390. Oratory should raise
your heart rate.Copy !req
391. Oratory should
blow the doors off the place.Copy !req
392. We should be talkingCopy !req
393. about not being satisfied
with past solutions.Copy !req
394. We should be talking
about a permanent revolution.Copy !req
395. Where have
I heard that?Copy !req
396. Yeah.
Permanent revolution?Copy !req
397. I got it from a book.Copy !req
398. What book?Copy !req
399. The Little Red Book.Copy !req
400. You think we should quote
Mao Tse-tung?Copy !req
401. We do need
a permanent revolution.Copy !req
402. Still, I think we'll stay away
from quoting Communists.Copy !req
403. Sam...
You think a Communist
never wrote an elegant phrase?Copy !req
404. How do you think they got
everybody to be Communists?Copy !req
405. Let's take a walk.Copy !req
406. Toby, you're the one
for the last six monthsCopy !req
407. who's been saying
we need a radical approach...Copy !req
408. Yes, yes, I have, and I got
shouted down in every meeting.Copy !req
409. I'd love to write a speechCopy !req
410. about a radical new approach
to educationCopy !req
411. but we don't have one!Copy !req
412. So unless we can
come up with an ideaCopy !req
413. and implement it
before landing in PortlandCopy !req
414. I prefer not to
paint a pictureCopy !req
415. in the interests
of great oratory.Copy !req
416. Let's take a walk.Copy !req
417. Can't great oratory inspire
an idea that can be implemented?Copy !req
418. We had six months.
We're not doing it half-assed.Copy !req
419. We're not doing it tonight.
Let's go.Copy !req
420. Where?Copy !req
421. Up and down the plane;
get the blood flowing.Copy !req
422. Mao knew how
to get the blood flowing.Copy !req
423. Let's go.Copy !req
424. Hey, Donna.Copy !req
425. Hey, Leo.Copy !req
426. That's a nice dress.Copy !req
427. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
428. You weren't
wearing that dressCopy !req
429. earlier today, were you?Copy !req
430. You guys are sharp as
tacks, you know that?Copy !req
431. Did you have a date?Copy !req
432. Yeah.
With who?Copy !req
433. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
434. Where'd you eat?Copy !req
435. Phoebe's.Copy !req
436. Ah, good. You know
what you get there?Copy !req
437. You tell Dario, the chef,
that you work for meCopy !req
438. and that you want the
flash-seared escolar
with foie gras butterCopy !req
439. and the fresh
juniper berry gravlaxCopy !req
440. on a bed
of shaved fennel.Copy !req
441. You have a nice
'87 Petrus with that.Copy !req
442. What'd you have?Copy !req
443. Two whiskey sours
and a bowl of soup.Copy !req
444. Ah, okay.Copy !req
445. I should tell
Josh I'm back.Copy !req
446. He's in the mess.Copy !req
447. Thanks.Copy !req
448. Hey, Leo?Copy !req
449. Yeah?Copy !req
450. I hope you don't mind.Copy !req
451. Margaret mentioned
that your divorce...Copy !req
452. Oh, come on.Copy !req
453. Yeah.
She mentioned that
the papers came todayCopy !req
454. and she was worried
that maybe...Copy !req
455. Margaret worries
if the sun is going to rise.Copy !req
456. Go check in
with Josh.Copy !req
457. Okay. He's in the mess?Copy !req
458. Yeah.Copy !req
459. It passed.Copy !req
460. I know.Copy !req
461. I know, Matt.
It passed the Senate...
with 85 votes.Copy !req
462. 29 Democrats voted for it.Copy !req
463. It passed the House
with 342 votes.Copy !req
464. Our polling numbers
are the same as yours—Copy !req
465. 60% of Americans oppose
legally sanctioned gay marriage.Copy !req
466. The people
want the bill.Copy !req
467. Congress wants the bill.Copy !req
468. The President needs
to sign the bill.Copy !req
469. Public opinion
can be wrong, Matt.Copy !req
470. The public opposed interracial
marriage and school integration.Copy !req
471. You want me to reach back
into the nostalgia file?Copy !req
472. That's entirely
different.Copy !req
473. How's it different?Copy !req
474. The government
has a responsibilityCopy !req
475. to protect the rights
of minoritiesCopy !req
476. but it can't impose
the minority's values
on the majority.Copy !req
477. Freedom of choice
isn't a minority valueCopy !req
478. just because the majorityCopy !req
479. doesn't agree with
the minority's choice.Copy !req
480. Excuse me.Copy !req
481. Hey.Copy !req
482. Uh, I'm back.Copy !req
483. Hi, Congressman.
Hey, Donna.Copy !req
484. How was your date?Copy !req
485. Uh, it was good.Copy !req
486. Josh, I'll be around.Copy !req
487. Thanks.Copy !req
488. Josh, all the Marriage
Recognition Act doesCopy !req
489. is ensure
that a radical social agendaCopy !req
490. isn't thrust
upon an entire countryCopy !req
491. that isn't ready for it yet.Copy !req
492. 32 states have passed laws
banning same-sex marriage.Copy !req
493. The states are doing a fine job
protecting themselvesCopy !req
494. from a radical social agenda
without a Federal shield.Copy !req
495. Josh...
I like
you guysCopy !req
496. who want to reduce
the size of government—Copy !req
497. make it just small enough
so it can fit in our bedrooms.Copy !req
498. When do you have
to call the President?Copy !req
499. I got time.Copy !req
500. Hmm.Copy !req
501. Let's have another beer.Copy !req
502. How's everybody doing?Copy !req
503. C.J., why'd the flight
take off so late?Copy !req
504. We took off on time.Copy !req
505. No, I mean why
was it scheduled late?Copy !req
506. I'm doing a sidebar.Copy !req
507. I'm not sure.
The PresidentCopy !req
508. had a budget
meeting earlier.Copy !req
509. Maybe they were
expecting it to run
long. I'll find out.Copy !req
510. Listen, I'd like
you to give me back
the draft copiesCopy !req
511. of the morning
education speech.Copy !req
512. We're going to
replace them.Copy !req
513. Why the change?
Toby and Sam
are doing
some work.Copy !req
514. No.
A policy shift?Copy !req
515. A new program?Copy !req
516. They're just
polishing
the language.Copy !req
517. If there's a policy shift
or a new programCopy !req
518. it'd help to haveCopy !req
519. the old text
to compare...Copy !req
520. There isn't
a policy shift.Copy !req
521. There isn't a
new program.Copy !req
522. This is Sam being Sam.Copy !req
523. Has political pressure
from the NEACopy !req
524. forced changes in...?Copy !req
525. Nothing's forced changes
in the speech.Copy !req
526. There are no policy shifts
and no new initiativesCopy !req
527. I guarantee you.Copy !req
528. Carol?Copy !req
529. Yeah.
Excuse me.Copy !req
530. Guys, they're in
your press packets.Copy !req
531. If you can just
hand them forward.Copy !req
532. He wanted me
to tell youCopy !req
533. that we're
approaching South BendCopy !req
534. and that he likes
to hear the songCopy !req
535. at a brisk
and steady tempo.Copy !req
536. Oh, kill me now.Copy !req
537. Leo.Copy !req
538. Yeah.Copy !req
539. Colonel Chase.Copy !req
540. Mark, tell me
we didn't hit anything.Copy !req
541. No. F-18s fired over the bow
and the tanker stopped.Copy !req
542. We boarded?Copy !req
543. Yeah, but the crew threw the log
and the registry overboard.Copy !req
544. Mark...Copy !req
545. Also the ship's manifest.Copy !req
546. How do these people think
this is going to end?Copy !req
547. What is their
best-case scenario?Copy !req
548. I just go where you point me.Copy !req
549. I'm going to
have to brief
Fitzwallace now.Copy !req
550. Yeah. Thanks, Mark.Copy !req
551. Yeah.
Margaret!Copy !req
552. Can you get me Secretaries
Hutchinson and Berryhill?Copy !req
553. Yeah.Copy !req
554. And I need Air Force One the
next free minute he's got, okay?Copy !req
555. Yeah.Copy !req
556. That's usuallyCopy !req
557. pretty hard
to get through Congress.Copy !req
558. Why?
Subway money.Copy !req
559. It's a northeastern thing?Copy !req
560. Once you get south
of DC or west of ChicagoCopy !req
561. there aren't any subwaysCopy !req
562. and the ones they've got,
nobody's using.Copy !req
563. What about Miami
and San Francisco?Copy !req
564. ( knocking )
Come in.Copy !req
565. L.A., Miami, San Francisco,
maybe somedayCopy !req
566. but nobody's
using them now.Copy !req
567. So pavement's going
to win this battle.Copy !req
568. Yes, sir.Copy !req
569. Okay.Copy !req
570. Thanks, Steve.Copy !req
571. Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
572. Thank you.Copy !req
573. Thank you, Mike.Copy !req
574. Nice hat.Copy !req
575. Thank you.Copy !req
576. Ernesto Perez Balladares,
former President of Panama...Copy !req
577. You know where he went
to school? Notre Dame.Copy !req
578. Yes, sir. Also Joe Garagiola.Copy !req
579. Was that a crack?Copy !req
580. No, sir. I understand you'd like
to hear the song now?Copy !req
581. Yeah, but we got
to do it later.Copy !req
582. The Tokyo exchange
just openedCopy !req
583. and I'm going
to gauge the impactCopy !req
584. of Pacific Rim
banking reforms—Copy !req
585. a subject economics scholars
could take years on.Copy !req
586. I will take 20 minutes.Copy !req
587. Speaking of which,
Mr. PresidentCopy !req
588. I was asked about the
late departure tonight.Copy !req
589. I thought we left on time.Copy !req
590. The late scheduled
departure.Copy !req
591. You don't like
late flights?Copy !req
592. No, I was just
repeating...Copy !req
593. A long flight across the night.Copy !req
594. You know why
late flights are good?Copy !req
595. Because we cease
to be earthboundCopy !req
596. and burdened
with practicality.Copy !req
597. Ask the impertinent
question.Copy !req
598. Talk about the ideaCopy !req
599. that nobody
has thought about yet.Copy !req
600. Put it a different way.Copy !req
601. Be poets.Copy !req
602. If you absolutely must.Copy !req
603. Tell Toby.Copy !req
604. He doesn't
want to use
the phraseCopy !req
605. "permanent revolution."Copy !req
606. In education?Copy !req
607. Yes.
Mr. President...Copy !req
608. Mao took a lot of long
plane flights, Toby.Copy !req
609. Look out your window.Copy !req
610. Is there anything more
romantic than that?Copy !req
611. And that's why we left at 9:05?Copy !req
612. No, we left at 9:05Copy !req
613. because they thought
my budget meeting might run overCopy !req
614. but wouldn't it have been great
if that was the reason?Copy !req
615. Yes.Copy !req
616. You don't like
"permanent revolution"?Copy !req
617. It's a nifty phraseCopy !req
618. ( phone rings )
but I think if we call
for a permanent revolutionCopy !req
619. people are, you know,
going to expect one.Copy !req
620. Mr. President?Copy !req
621. We're flying, Toby.Copy !req
622. Live a little. Yeah.Copy !req
623. Mr. McGarry.Copy !req
624. Oh, Leo...Copy !req
625. just take the damn boat.Copy !req
626. Hello?Copy !req
627. Is that C.J.?Copy !req
628. It's Donna Moss.Copy !req
629. Hi.Copy !req
630. What happened?Copy !req
631. I can't turn
the heat down.Copy !req
632. Did you try?Copy !req
633. No, I just lookedCopy !req
634. at the thermostat
and got discouraged.Copy !req
635. Really?Copy !req
636. Of course I tried.Copy !req
637. Ah.Copy !req
638. I could grow papayas in here.Copy !req
639. It's a nice office.Copy !req
640. It's the steam pipe
distribution venue.Copy !req
641. It's got character.Copy !req
642. I think I'm
losing weight.Copy !req
643. You want to come work upstairs
in the bullpen?Copy !req
644. I need to concentrate.Copy !req
645. Nobody's here.Copy !req
646. No, I'm fine, thank you.Copy !req
647. Okay.Copy !req
648. I just came down to say hi.Copy !req
649. And I'd talk, but I just...Copy !req
650. I need to get this done.Copy !req
651. I'll leave you alone.Copy !req
652. Thanks.Copy !req
653. What are you working on?Copy !req
654. I'm making notes for Josh.Copy !req
655. Ah.
Yeah.Copy !req
656. Interesting.
Yeah.Copy !req
657. The Constitutional
questions involved.Copy !req
658. Yeah.Copy !req
659. Full Faith and Credit.Copy !req
660. Right.Copy !req
661. Do you and I look alike?Copy !req
662. I'm sorry?Copy !req
663. Do we look alike?Copy !req
664. No.Copy !req
665. That's what I thought.Copy !req
666. I didn't think we looked alike.Copy !req
667. Yeah.Copy !req
668. Have you ever thoughtCopy !req
669. about dyeing your hair red?Copy !req
670. You should.
No. Why?Copy !req
671. It'd look good.
We don't look alike.Copy !req
672. No, and I tell people that.Copy !req
673. I'm going to go work upstairs.Copy !req
674. I'll see you tomorrow.Copy !req
675. I think
because of the alabaster skinCopy !req
676. and the farm
girl looks that...
You're wiggin' out.Copy !req
677. Yes.Copy !req
678. You sure you don't want
to work upstairs?Copy !req
679. No, it may be hot down here,
but at least it's quiet.Copy !req
680. Okay.Copy !req
681. Boy, I could
use a Fresca.Copy !req
682. You're going to quoteCopy !req
683. the Bible to me?Copy !req
684. I didn't.
Really?Copy !req
685. My point, which wasCopy !req
686. parenthetical at bestCopy !req
687. is that the founders
based the countryCopy !req
688. on a Judeo-Christian morality...Copy !req
689. and that the
biblical concept
Mattof marriageCopy !req
690. maybe can't be separated
from the lawCopy !req
691. quite as easily as you'd like.Copy !req
692. The founding fathers
made it very clearCopy !req
693. that they didn't want
Judeo-Christian moralityCopy !req
694. within ten city blocks
of the law. Matt!Copy !req
695. What?Copy !req
696. What?Copy !req
697. Nothing.Copy !req
698. You understand that gay partners
will be permanently ineligibleCopy !req
699. for survivor benefits,
Medicare, Medicaid...Copy !req
700. Which the government can't
afford to pay out anyway.Copy !req
701. So we caught a break there.Copy !req
702. It's getting pretty late.Copy !req
703. I had more notes.Copy !req
704. Yeah?
Carol.Copy !req
705. Did you get
the old drafts back?Copy !req
706. Of the education speech?Copy !req
707. Yeah.Copy !req
708. Yeah.
Good.Copy !req
709. Everybody except Danny.Copy !req
710. Excuse me?Copy !req
711. Danny wanted
to keep his.Copy !req
712. Excuse me.Copy !req
713. What's the problem?Copy !req
714. How you doing?Copy !req
715. What's the problem, Danny?Copy !req
716. C.J., there's no reason whyCopy !req
717. I should give that draft back
and you know it.Copy !req
718. You can't even believe
you're asking me for itCopy !req
719. so unless you're here
to give me a hot towel...Copy !req
720. Everybody else gave it back.Copy !req
721. Then everybody
else can buy my
paper tomorrow.Copy !req
722. I'm guaranteeing you allCopy !req
723. no substantive changes,
no new policy initiatives.Copy !req
724. You don't have
to guarantee me.Copy !req
725. I've got the old
copy right here.Copy !req
726. I certainly hopeCopy !req
727. we don't accidentally send
your luggage to BelgiumCopy !req
728. on the way back.Copy !req
729. Yeah, I wouldn't
want to find out
what it's likeCopy !req
730. to be inconvenienced
by the White House.Copy !req
731. It was the budget meeting,
by the way.Copy !req
732. What's that?Copy !req
733. The reason we took off late.Copy !req
734. It was the budget meetingCopy !req
735. although there's something
to be said...Copy !req
736. Something
to be saidCopy !req
737. for what?Copy !req
738. Nothing.Copy !req
739. "I was raisedCopy !req
740. "to appreciate the value
of teachers and teaching.Copy !req
741. "My grandmother, who began
her teaching careerCopy !req
742. in a one room schoolhouse..."Copy !req
743. Actually, it was two rooms.Copy !req
744. Okay.Copy !req
745. Italian stonecutters
were paying herCopy !req
746. to teach their kids English
in the basement of the rectory.Copy !req
747. They put up a wall
and made it two roomsCopy !req
748. as a thank-you gift.Copy !req
749. We'll change it
to two rooms.Copy !req
750. I haven't heard the big idea.Copy !req
751. Sir, the speech
is in pretty
good shape now.Copy !req
752. Yeah.Copy !req
753. "As you know,
I began my campaign..."Copy !req
754. What happened
to 100,000 new teachers?Copy !req
755. Sir?
No money?Copy !req
756. No teachers.
Toby!Copy !req
757. There aren't
100,000 new teachers.Copy !req
758. We can't make people
be teachers.Copy !req
759. We can give incentives.Copy !req
760. In certain districts,
there are tax incentives...Copy !req
761. It's not doing
the trick.Copy !req
762. No. No, I know,
but for right now...Copy !req
763. What's that mean?Copy !req
764. I'm sorry?Copy !req
765. What does that mean?Copy !req
766. I was just scribbling.Copy !req
767. You wrote down,
"Send them to college."Copy !req
768. I was just
scribbling.Copy !req
769. What did you mean,
"Send them to college"?Copy !req
770. No, 'cause it's like
circling horses in the paperCopy !req
771. but not making the bet.Copy !req
772. Tuition incentives.Copy !req
773. Mr. President.Copy !req
774. Talk, Charlie.Copy !req
775. Mr. President,
if this was an ideaCopy !req
776. somebody would've
had it already.Copy !req
777. I find fault
with that formula.Copy !req
778. Well...Copy !req
779. What?Copy !req
780. The government will send you
to college or law schoolCopy !req
781. or medical schoolCopy !req
782. if you spend three years
in the armed forcesCopy !req
783. when you graduate.Copy !req
784. College tuition
to anyoneCopy !req
785. who wants to
go to collegeCopy !req
786. in exchange for
they teach in a
public schoolCopy !req
787. we send them to
for three years.Copy !req
788. Why can't that
idea be floated?Copy !req
789. Anybody know how we pay for it?Copy !req
790. That comes next.Copy !req
791. Yes, it does come nextCopy !req
792. so for the moment,
why don't we...?Copy !req
793. Kick this around.Copy !req
794. Mr. President...Copy !req
795. I'll be in my study.Copy !req
796. It's an incredible sky tonight.Copy !req
797. Ladies and gentlemenCopy !req
798. this is Colonel Beech
from the flight deck.Copy !req
799. We've been told
there's some choppy wind aheadCopy !req
800. and we've been cleared
to climb to 42,000 feet.Copy !req
801. 57% of the people...Copy !req
802. I knowCopy !req
803. what 57% of the people say.Copy !req
804. What 58% of them say
is that gay spousesCopy !req
805. should receive
health benefitsCopy !req
806. and 54% say
social security benefitsCopy !req
807. and by the way, we
haven't talked about
the 14th Amendment.Copy !req
808. Josh, the 14th
Amendment...Copy !req
809. I think a strict interpretation
of the Equal Protection clauseCopy !req
810. would dictate that homophobia
can't be made into a law.Copy !req
811. That's for the
court to decideCopy !req
812. but I think
they'll uphold it.Copy !req
813. Laurence Tribe disagrees
with you.Copy !req
814. Laurence Tribe
doesn't sit on the
U.S. Supreme Court.Copy !req
815. Five Justices...Copy !req
816. Josh, I came here as a friend.Copy !req
817. I think you know that.Copy !req
818. What does that
have to do with it?Copy !req
819. I came here 'cause I came here.Copy !req
820. Look, this is going to be a lawCopy !req
821. whether the President vetoes
or not.Copy !req
822. They have the votes
in the Senate to override...Copy !req
823. The Senate's
not in session.Copy !req
824. The President can
stick this in his pants
pocket and it's vetoed.Copy !req
825. And it will come back in JanuaryCopy !req
826. and you will have to live
through this twiceCopy !req
827. and you will lose both times.Copy !req
828. Ask me the question.Copy !req
829. He compared homosexualityCopy !req
830. to kleptomania
and sex addiction, Matt.Copy !req
831. Yes.Copy !req
832. The Majority Leader,
the leader of your own party.Copy !req
833. He was wrong and I told him so.Copy !req
834. For crying out loud.Copy !req
835. How can you be a member
Ask mof this party? Josh.Copy !req
836. You've been holding that in
for way too long, man.Copy !req
837. This party that says who you are
is against the law.Copy !req
838. You know, I
never understoodCopy !req
839. why you gun control people don't
all join the NRA.Copy !req
840. They've got two million members.Copy !req
841. You bring three million
to the next meetingCopy !req
842. call a vote.Copy !req
843. All those in favor
of tossing guns... bam! Move on.Copy !req
844. It's a heck
of a strategy, Matt.Copy !req
845. I'll bring that up
at a meeting.Copy !req
846. I agree with 95% of the
Republican platform.Copy !req
847. I believe in
local government.Copy !req
848. I'm in favor of individual
rights rather than group rights.Copy !req
849. I believe free markets leadCopy !req
850. to free peopleCopy !req
851. and that the
country needsCopy !req
852. a strong
national defense.Copy !req
853. My life doesn't have to be
about being a homosexual.Copy !req
854. It doesn't have to be
entirely about that.Copy !req
855. Thanks for coming by.Copy !req
856. Thanks for the beer.Copy !req
857. How'd it go?Copy !req
858. He'll sign it.Copy !req
859. I can tell McDougal?Copy !req
860. Yeah.Copy !req
861. Good job, Congressman.Copy !req
862. Take your hand
off my shoulder,
Congressman.Copy !req
863. The speech is fine now.Copy !req
864. Toby...
The speech is fine.Copy !req
865. 100,000 college scholarships?Copy !req
866. It's an overly
simplistic...Copy !req
867. You wanted me?Copy !req
868. You should tip
the press off we may floatCopy !req
869. an education
initiative.Copy !req
870. I just told...
We're not floating.Copy !req
871. We might float, I'm sayingCopy !req
872. and you should give
them a heads up.Copy !req
873. Excuse me. I need to
go look like an idiot.Copy !req
874. We're not floating a
policy initiative, Sam.Copy !req
875. I don't care if it's a trip
to the moon on gossamer wings.Copy !req
876. Look...
It's pie-in-the-skyCopy !req
877. to say nothing of
patronizing to haveCopy !req
878. privileged Ivy Leaguers
play teacherCopy !req
879. to America's
most vulnerable children.Copy !req
880. The people
taking advantage of thisCopy !req
881. aren't going
to be overprivileged.Copy !req
882. How do you suppose the Teacher"
Union'll feel about it?Copy !req
883. They'll have
100,000 new members.Copy !req
884. All of whom will leave
after three years.
Most of whom.Copy !req
885. The kids will be
abandoned as well.Copy !req
886. They won't
be abandoned.
Their teachers will leave.Copy !req
887. Once you're in the fifth grade,
what do you careCopy !req
888. what your fourth grade
teacher's doing?Copy !req
889. Sam.Copy !req
890. Toby, these people are going
to be role models to kidsCopy !req
891. who don't have much contactCopy !req
892. with young, successful
college graduatesCopy !req
893. many of whom have grown up in
neighborhoods just like theirs.Copy !req
894. Sam...
Toby, we could...Copy !req
895. Sam! where are we
getting the money?Copy !req
896. Where are we getting the money?Copy !req
897. I was really mortified that
I froze up on that speech.Copy !req
898. Yeah.Copy !req
899. You should've told me
a few days ago.Copy !req
900. Yeah.Copy !req
901. I play the flute.Copy !req
902. I'm a flautist.Copy !req
903. In high school, I was
the best in my rowCopy !req
904. and so I ask myselfCopy !req
905. if I'd pursued the
flute professionallyCopy !req
906. would I be meeting
interesting men?Copy !req
907. And the answer
comes back to me:Copy !req
908. Probably not.Copy !req
909. I played the trombone.Copy !req
910. Did you meet interesting men?Copy !req
911. Yeah.Copy !req
912. Is it a hard
instrument to learnCopy !req
913. if I took it up now?Copy !req
914. Talk to me about
the Full Faith
and Credit clause.Copy !req
915. It says that
full faith and creditCopy !req
916. shall be given by each State
to the public Acts, RecordsCopy !req
917. and Judicial proceedings
of every other state.Copy !req
918. It means if you're married
in MarylandCopy !req
919. it's got to be
recognized by Nebraska.Copy !req
920. So how is the Marriage
Recognition ActCopy !req
921. ( phone ringing )
not unconstitutional?Copy !req
922. 'Cause it also says
that CongressCopy !req
923. can prescribe
the manner in whichCopy !req
924. such acts and records
are provedCopy !req
925. which means they can decide
what being married meansCopy !req
926. within the context
of Article IV.Copy !req
927. Josh?Copy !req
928. Yeah?Copy !req
929. Toby.Copy !req
930. Yeah.Copy !req
931. What's going on?Copy !req
932. I'm going to tell him
to sign the damn thing.Copy !req
933. Okay.Copy !req
934. How's his mood?Copy !req
935. He's frustrated, he's feeling...Copy !req
936. Yeah. You know, when he goes off
on a thing, TobyCopy !req
937. he expects you to bring him in.Copy !req
938. He wants you to do itCopy !req
939. so he doesn't have
to do it himself.Copy !req
940. Josh, off the top of your headCopy !req
941. what do you think
about tuition incentives...?Copy !req
942. Pilot( over intercom ):
Ladies and gentlemenCopy !req
943. from the flight deck.Copy !req
944. We're 82 miles south
of the runwayCopy !req
945. and beginning
our initial descent.Copy !req
946. If I could ask you all
to find seats. Thank you.Copy !req
947. What was that?Copy !req
948. We're landing.Copy !req
949. No, I mean, what were you...?Copy !req
950. Nothing.Copy !req
951. All right,
I'll talk to you later.Copy !req
952. I'm going to talk to Leo.Copy !req
953. I'll see
you guys Monday.Copy !req
954. Good night.Copy !req
955. Take it easy.Copy !req
956. Did you know she
played the trombone?Copy !req
957. I didn't.Copy !req
958. Tonight stunk, Josh.Copy !req
959. I'm sorry about that.Copy !req
960. I didn't mean
having to workCopy !req
961. although that
was a treat.Copy !req
962. I meant the guy.Copy !req
963. Who was he?Copy !req
964. A lobbyist
with Travis-West.Copy !req
965. He was pretty full of himselfCopy !req
966. and without a lot
of cause to be.Copy !req
967. An obnoxious insurance
lobbyist...Copy !req
968. What were the odds?Copy !req
969. It isn't funny, Josh.Copy !req
970. I got to go see Leo.Copy !req
971. I'll call you in the morning.Copy !req
972. You looked really greatCopy !req
973. in that dress
tonight, Donna.Copy !req
974. You should buy it for yourself.Copy !req
975. President ( over phone):
Yeah.Copy !req
976. Yeah.Copy !req
977. We hold the ship in Bahrain.Copy !req
978. It doesn't do anything
to hold the ship in Bahrain.Copy !req
979. Sir, we hold the ship in Bahrain
and send a sample of the oilCopy !req
980. to the U.S. Customs lab
in San Francisco.Copy !req
981. If the point of origin
violates sanctions...Copy !req
982. Yeah, you know
what's going to happen?Copy !req
983. They'll sell off the cargo
in a friendly port—Copy !req
984. 780,000 metric tons of gas oilCopy !req
985. against a $2 million fine
for the oil company.Copy !req
986. Mr. President...Copy !req
987. Which their profits from
the sale will more than cover.Copy !req
988. We're not providing
much of a disincentiveCopy !req
989. to evade U.N. sanctions.Copy !req
990. What else is there to do?Copy !req
991. If we're going
to have sanctions at allCopy !req
992. I think that
we should make them stick.Copy !req
993. I think that we should
confiscate the cargoCopy !req
994. seize the ship, sell the oilCopy !req
995. and use the money to beef up
anti-smuggling operations.Copy !req
996. You don't mean tonight.Copy !req
997. You mean in the future.Copy !req
998. We're landing, Mr. President.Copy !req
999. Yeah, in the future.Copy !req
1000. Okay.Copy !req
1001. Josh wants to
talk about the...Copy !req
1002. Hang on.Copy !req
1003. You need me?Copy !req
1004. I can wait.Copy !req
1005. Yeah?Copy !req
1006. The Marriage Recognition Act.Copy !req
1007. Yeah.Copy !req
1008. Folks, we'll be landing
in just a few minutes.Copy !req
1009. Follow the blue
signs to your bus.Copy !req
1010. Oh, one thing
before we land.Copy !req
1011. When I said before
that there'd beCopy !req
1012. absolutely no policy shifts
or new initiativesCopy !req
1013. in the education speech tomorrowCopy !req
1014. that was correct,
except it's possibleCopy !req
1015. there might be a policy shift
or a new initiativeCopy !req
1016. in the education
speech tomorrow.Copy !req
1017. C.J.!Copy !req
1018. There isn't going
to be a change.Copy !req
1019. There isn't going to be
a change. Danny?Copy !req
1020. He's not going
to give it back.Copy !req
1021. Danny, Sam choked hard
on the last draftCopy !req
1022. and wants to burn it.Copy !req
1023. No problem.Copy !req
1024. No problem?Copy !req
1025. Tell him to relax.
He'll get his swing back.Copy !req
1026. Yeah.Copy !req
1027. Tell him I didn't read it.Copy !req
1028. Thanks.Copy !req
1029. You were just having
a little go at me,
weren't you?Copy !req
1030. Yeah, it's a long flight.Copy !req
1031. So you decided
to kill time by...Copy !req
1032. Yeah. You know why?Copy !req
1033. Tell me you went to Notre Dame.Copy !req
1034. Maybe next time you won't
be so quick to mockCopy !req
1035. on the eve
of a Michigan game.Copy !req
1036. There must be an escape hatch
here of some kind.Copy !req
1037. The Constitutional argument...Copy !req
1038. I don't care aboutCopy !req
1039. the Constitutional
argument, JoshCopy !req
1040. it's gay bashing.Copy !req
1041. Yes, sir, but...Copy !req
1042. It's legislative gay bashing.Copy !req
1043. How do I put my name on it?Copy !req
1044. I wouldn't, sir.Copy !req
1045. I'd put it away.Copy !req
1046. A pocket veto's
a politician's way out.Copy !req
1047. They'll send the bill again
when they're in session.Copy !req
1048. Meanwhile we focus onCopy !req
1049. the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act.Copy !req
1050. If I'm going to sign it
in JanuaryCopy !req
1051. why am I vetoing it now?Copy !req
1052. A symbolic gesture
to the gay community.Copy !req
1053. I'm sure the gay community
can't wait to thank me.Copy !req
1054. Mr. President?Copy !req
1055. This is just wrong.Copy !req
1056. Yeah.Copy !req
1057. You can look
at the polling numbersCopy !req
1058. and Article IV
and Social Security benefits.Copy !req
1059. It doesn't matter.
It's just wrong.Copy !req
1060. We shouldn't be defining loveCopy !req
1061. and we certainly
shouldn't be ill-defining it.Copy !req
1062. It's wrong.
This is the job for...Copy !req
1063. It's the job of somebody else.Copy !req
1064. Well, right now, it's ours.Copy !req
1065. It's wrong.Copy !req
1066. Sir.Copy !req
1067. I should get out
a rubber stamp that saysCopy !req
1068. "Josiah Bartlet votes no."Copy !req
1069. It's exactly what
the conservativesCopy !req
1070. are hoping you'll do.Copy !req
1071. I should get out a rubber stamp.Copy !req
1072. Sir?Copy !req
1073. Put it in a drawer.Copy !req
1074. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1075. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
1076. We'll talk at the hotel.Copy !req
1077. Okay.Copy !req
1078. All right.Copy !req
1079. Have a good night.Copy !req
1080. You, too.Copy !req
1081. Hey, Leo, Margaret mentioned...Copy !req
1082. Oh, come on, Josh.Copy !req
1083. No, she just said...Copy !req
1084. My divorce papers
came today.Copy !req
1085. She thinks I'm
going to drink.Copy !req
1086. Sounds like a
pretty good reason to.Copy !req
1087. I'm an alcoholic.Copy !req
1088. I don't need a good reason to.Copy !req
1089. You want to have
coffee someplace?Copy !req
1090. I want to go home.Copy !req
1091. Okay.Copy !req
1092. I'll see you on Monday.Copy !req
1093. Margaret, I'm going.Copy !req
1094. Okay.Copy !req
1095. You're a good girl.Copy !req
1096. Okay.Copy !req
1097. C.J.:
Sir?Copy !req
1098. Yeah.Copy !req
1099. You're off
the phone?
Yeah.Copy !req
1100. There was a question?Copy !req
1101. For a sidebar on
the game tomorrow.Copy !req
1102. Why did you go
to Notre Dame?Copy !req
1103. Why not?Copy !req
1104. Bearing in mind
that I'm justCopy !req
1105. repeating someone
else's questionCopy !req
1106. you were accepted
at Harvard, Yale
and Williams.Copy !req
1107. Why did you go
to Notre Dame?Copy !req
1108. 'Cause I was thinking
about becoming a priest.Copy !req
1109. Really?Copy !req
1110. Yeah.Copy !req
1111. What happened?Copy !req
1112. I met Abbey.Copy !req
1113. Why can't you ever give me
answers like thatCopy !req
1114. when we're running
for something?Copy !req
1115. 'Cause I like to bother you.Copy !req
1116. Well, I shall
not be defeated.Copy !req
1117. Sit down.Copy !req
1118. Okay.Copy !req
1119. Mr. President.Copy !req
1120. Toby.Copy !req
1121. Here's a final draft.Copy !req
1122. Toby, you should sit down.Copy !req
1123. We're landing in a minute
and ten seconds.Copy !req
1124. How do you know that?Copy !req
1125. I set my watch to
the cockpit computer.Copy !req
1126. You should sit down.Copy !req
1127. Thank you.Copy !req
1128. You know why
the Assistant Energy SecretaryCopy !req
1129. is on the plane?Copy !req
1130. You have a meeting with him
on the way back.Copy !req
1131. That's right.Copy !req
1132. I think Charlie's idea
was a good one.Copy !req
1133. I think you should ask Leo
to put together a teamCopy !req
1134. to study the feasibility
of appropriationsCopy !req
1135. for a pilot program
with a hundred teachers.Copy !req
1136. They're taking
the tanker to BahrainCopy !req
1137. and the company's going
to make a profit.Copy !req
1138. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1139. The Marriage Recognition Act
is going to be law.Copy !req
1140. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1141. A hundred new teachers?Copy !req
1142. Yeah.Copy !req
1143. Instead of 100,000.Copy !req
1144. Yeah.Copy !req
1145. Well, it's a start, I guess.Copy !req
