1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. They take all the Henrys, do a thing,
and call it War of the Roses.Copy !req
3. I'm told by those who saw it
it's spectacular.Copy !req
4. C.J. Cregg? I'm Special Agent
Simon Donovan, Secret Service.Copy !req
5. - This is bad.
- He leaked it to the press.Copy !req
6. And I take full responsibility.Copy !req
7. Isn't Shareef helping us
with intelligence out of Qumar?Copy !req
8. - He's not.
- Are you telling me...Copy !req
9. the Qumari defense minister ordered
an attack on the Golden Gate Bridge?Copy !req
10. - We're not ready to say.
- Get ready to say.Copy !req
11. First the money trail.
Under interrogation from the FBI...Copy !req
12. we've been able to follow up on where
Yossi received materials and financing.Copy !req
13. An account in Yossi's name
received a $ 105,000 wire transfer...Copy !req
14. on the first of last month at
Seaside Trust in San Mateo, California.Copy !req
15. Sir, the NSA echelon shows the money
originating from an account...Copy !req
16. at the Bank of Commercial Finance
in Geneva.Copy !req
17. The account balance totals
a little over 18 million...Copy !req
18. and we've determined
that the account was opened...Copy !req
19. with a transfer
from Star of the Lavant International.Copy !req
20. Star of the Lavant International is a
dummy corporation for Bank Al-Hassan.Copy !req
21. That's where Colonel Lee takes over.Copy !req
22. The controlling partner at
Bank Al-Hassan is Abdul-lbn Shareef...Copy !req
23. minister of defense
for the sultanate of Qumar.Copy !req
24. He's gotta put everything in a blind trust
when he's elected.Copy !req
25. The defense minister
gets to own a bank?Copy !req
26. Leo, I think you're gonna find
that in any number of ways...Copy !req
27. minister of defense
is simply Mr. Shareef's day job.Copy !req
28. Massive transfers of funds within
one to two weeks of terrorist attacks.Copy !req
29. All the recipients
being Bahji operatives.Copy !req
30. $97,000 to the King's Bank of Tunisia
before the embassy.Copy !req
31. $65,000 to the Merchants Bank
of the Saud...Copy !req
32. one week before the bombings
in the Marine barracks.Copy !req
33. Shareef had three suspects
arrested in that case.Copy !req
34. Yes, sir. He identified them as three
top-ranking intelligence officers...Copy !req
35. and had them summarily executed.Copy !req
36. So we couldn't question them?Copy !req
37. The bombs in Tunisia and Port of Alzoud
were made by the same source.Copy !req
38. We've identified the bomb signatures.Copy !req
39. Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil,
with a dynamite trigger.Copy !req
40. There's the witness of the Chechnyan
the Russians have in custody.Copy !req
41. There's Abdul Razi,
Shareef's son-in-law.Copy !req
42. And there's the money trail.Copy !req
43. - You haven't got it.
- Sir...Copy !req
44. We wanna ask the Justice Department
to indict the Qumari minister of defense.Copy !req
45. We're saying he's a terror kingpin.Copy !req
46. We're saying he's killed I don't know
how many civilians and Marines.Copy !req
47. We're saying he's compromised
I don't know how many agents.Copy !req
48. And we're saying he's done it
in the clothing of an ally.Copy !req
49. This isn't a cave dweller.
This is Capone. You haven't got it.Copy !req
50. It's confusing. There's Van Morrison.
She's doing a scene from Flashdance.Copy !req
51. All right, don't be frightened.Copy !req
52. - You sure?
- Yeah.Copy !req
53. Listen, I'm sending you
to Bismarck, okay?Copy !req
54. You gotta go tomorrow and sit in
on a DNC platform meeting.Copy !req
55. I'm sorry, hang on a second.Copy !req
56. Did you just say you were
sending me to Bismarck?Copy !req
57. - Yeah.
- North Dakota?Copy !req
58. - Just overnight.
- Am I being punished?Copy !req
59. - Just the opposite, my friend.
- I'm being promoted?Copy !req
60. I wouldn't go that far.
You're speaking for the White House.Copy !req
61. The DNC's having a platform meeting,
and North Dakota wants...Copy !req
62. to have a plank eliminating the word
"North" from their name.Copy !req
63. We take no state for granted.
We wanna show North Dakota we care.Copy !req
64. You wanna show North Dakota you care,
and so you're sending me?Copy !req
65. It's really very most grueling to do.
I'll write a statement and you'll read it.Copy !req
66. - Okay.
- What are you doing at the office?Copy !req
67. I forgot to put your stuff together
for Congressman Pimento.Copy !req
68. - Pintero?
- Yes.Copy !req
69. I forgot I had that meeting.Copy !req
70. - How does a person get to Bismarck?
- The Iditarod, Donna.Copy !req
71. They have an airport. It's the capital.Copy !req
72. - Are you coming here?
- As soon as I get dressed.Copy !req
73. Goodbye.Copy !req
74. Buttercup.Copy !req
75. You getting enough iron in your diet?Copy !req
76. - You getting too much?
- Exactly the right amount.Copy !req
77. - Sunday with my man.
- Quite a bit of Sunday with your man.Copy !req
78. - What happened?
- I have to meet with Rick Pintero.Copy !req
79. We set it up yesterday.Copy !req
80. It's about reauthorization
of the Welfare Reform Bill.Copy !req
81. You'll miss
the Werner Fassbinder Festival.Copy !req
82. And I'm pretty broken up about that,
but this is right in your wheelhouse.Copy !req
83. Poor women are counting on me.Copy !req
84. All women count on you, Josh.
We find you godlike.Copy !req
85. I bought your birthday present already.Copy !req
86. - Why have I been dancing?
- Nobody really knows.Copy !req
87. - Hey.
- Hey. Thanks for doing this on Sunday.Copy !req
88. - Yeah.
- How you feeling?Copy !req
89. - Fine.
- She meant since the thing.Copy !req
90. I screwed up. I've moved on.Copy !req
91. We've got something
for you to take to Bruno.Copy !req
92. - And Leo too, it's legislative.
- What?Copy !req
93. What's the biggest thing the president
can do for environment?Copy !req
94. - Save the Everglades.
- Largest subtropical wilderness.Copy !req
95. - They're obviously in serious trouble.
- What's the plan?Copy !req
96. An $8-billion, 20-year plan...Copy !req
97. to restore the water flows
and the wildlife.Copy !req
98. - Eight billion? No sweat.
- We know where the money comes from.Copy !req
99. The same place pollution does.Copy !req
100. The sugar industry. We end subsidies,
which adds up to 8 billion.Copy !req
101. It's great for us, terrible for Ritchie
and Florida is in play.Copy !req
102. Even if we don't win it,
now he's gotta spend time...Copy !req
103. he's gotta spend money
campaigning in his own state.Copy !req
104. No, I'm not taking it to Bruno,
but thanks for coming in.Copy !req
105. - Why?
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
106. - Why aren't you taking it to Bruno?
- I like my job.Copy !req
107. The sugar growers
are Ritchie's biggest supporter.Copy !req
108. It'll look like we're taxing our enemies.Copy !req
109. - Technically, it's not a tax.
- Thanks, guys.Copy !req
110. - Congressman.
- Hey.Copy !req
111. I had it that we were
doing this at your office.Copy !req
112. - No, we said here.
- My assistant set me straight. Come on.Copy !req
113. - Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.Copy !req
114. - I'm off to buy prairie gear.
- It's a city. You've been there.Copy !req
115. I'll call later.Copy !req
116. - You seem frazzled.
- We've been scheduled for a while...Copy !req
117. to go to a Catholic Charities fundraiser
in New York.Copy !req
118. - It's the Royal National Company...
- The War of the Roses.Copy !req
119. Cathy and I saw it in London.
It's fantastic.Copy !req
120. It's like no Shakespeare you've
ever seen. There's music. They sing.Copy !req
121. And that's great, but I've just been told
that Governor Ritchie is coming as well.Copy !req
122. - So it becomes a different thing.
- You gotta tell Toby Ziegler.Copy !req
123. - Yeah. But what do you got?
- The 25 votes you need...Copy !req
124. to move the Working Toward
Independence Act out of committee.Copy !req
125. - How?
- The president has to compromise.Copy !req
126. - We can't cave on childcare.
- You get a billion more in childcare.Copy !req
127. - Billion?
- For a trade.Copy !req
128. - What?
- 300 million more for marriage incentives.Copy !req
129. And we raise the work requirements
to 38 hours a week.Copy !req
130. - The marriage incentives...
- It's the only way.Copy !req
131. - Marriage incentives are terrible.
- It's the only way.Copy !req
132. Let me talk about it around here.Copy !req
133. Okay.
Hey, you're gonna love that show.Copy !req
134. Yeah, I'm really
looking forward to it. Thanks.Copy !req
135. I will do it again.Copy !req
136. Thanks.Copy !req
137. I've been seeing a shrink, by the way.Copy !req
138. I had trouble sleeping,
and Leo brought in a guy.Copy !req
139. I feel ridiculous talking
out loud like this, but he said... .Copy !req
140. It doesn't matter.
I just can't believe it's been a year.Copy !req
141. Anyway.Copy !req
142. - What is it?
- It can wait till we get back.Copy !req
143. What is it?Copy !req
144. - This isn't the place.
- Leo.Copy !req
145. Shareef had a meeting
with two Muslim clerics in Bechar.Copy !req
146. We picked up the meeting
by aiming an IR laser beam...Copy !req
147. at the windows from 400 feet.Copy !req
148. Three different Arabic experts
worked on the translation.Copy !req
149. "The enemy imagines he's secure.
The bridge did not fall.Copy !req
150. He looks down from his high
or elevated place or places...Copy !req
151. but our victory is still assured.
There will be other moments."Copy !req
152. Meaning times, places or opportunities.Copy !req
153. "I have brought him low,
and I will do it again."Copy !req
154. All right.Copy !req
155. They can't be in the same room.
It elevates him. It diminishes us.Copy !req
156. Now he's one of two guys
tossing a job application.Copy !req
157. It gives him access
to a massive press.Copy !req
158. How do we get out?
We'll look impolite and chicken.Copy !req
159. - We could ask Ritchie not to go.
- How?Copy !req
160. - Ask politely.
- Tell him the show isn't good.Copy !req
161. - We don't think he's gonna like it.
- That's what we do.Copy !req
162. We don't go. We pull out.Copy !req
163. Better to look chicken
than to get broasted, my mom says.Copy !req
164. What's'broasted"?Copy !req
165. I've never really known,
but it's what they do to chickens.Copy !req
166. What do you think?Copy !req
167. - I don't know.
- You think we don't go, right?Copy !req
168. - Yeah.
- All right, we don't go.Copy !req
169. The president's gonna have to call
the archbishop.Copy !req
170. I was looking forward to it.Copy !req
171. - What?
- The show.Copy !req
172. It's five hours of King Henrys with
musical interludes and a dinner break.Copy !req
173. You should come
to my house and perform it for me.Copy !req
174. We're done.Copy !req
175. - Sam?
- Yeah.Copy !req
176. I talked to Jane and Muriel this morning,
and they said they came to you...Copy !req
177. yesterday with something about
the Everglades and you shut the door.Copy !req
178. - Yeah.
- They seemed pretty excited.Copy !req
179. - You sure you don't want it?
- Look it over.Copy !req
180. - No. If you say so.
- Okay.Copy !req
181. This is ridiculous. He's coming here.
He's coming here!Copy !req
182. - Why the hell can't we arrest him?
- It's a breach of diplomatic immunity.Copy !req
183. It's our own Diplomatic Relations
Act 22 U.S.C. 254.Copy !req
184. "No foreign government..."Copy !req
185. At what point do you forfeit
diplomatic status?Copy !req
186. Reasonable point.
Doesn't it go without saying...Copy !req
187. that I revoked it after he tried
to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge?Copy !req
188. It doesn't go without saying.
Now, immunity can be set aside.Copy !req
189. But it means
making our case to the sultan.Copy !req
190. - You can't do that.
- We have no extradition treaty.Copy !req
191. Why the hell do we need...?
He's coming here on his own.Copy !req
192. He's delivering himself in a Learjet.Copy !req
193. Still means setting aside immunity.Copy !req
194. Which means a conversation
with the sultan.Copy !req
195. We can't talk to the sultan, David.Copy !req
196. Shareef is a member of the royal family.
The sultan's his brother.Copy !req
197. We wanna lock him up.
I don't think he's gonna warm to it.Copy !req
198. Plus, we're never gonna see
Shareef again.Copy !req
199. We could explore working
with treaties signed with Britain...Copy !req
200. when Qumar was a protectorate.
Now, Qumar has historically rejected...Copy !req
201. That's fine. It doesn't matter what
they've rejected. Shareef is coming here.Copy !req
202. Have an answer for us by tomorrow.Copy !req
203. Fellas, this guy is gonna stand trial
in a U.S. court...Copy !req
204. and if we have to stick heroin
on his plane to get him...Copy !req
205. that's what we're gonna do.Copy !req
206. - Agent 99.
- Good morning.Copy !req
207. I want you to tell me, what are you
people doing to catch the guy?Copy !req
208. We're doing all the things that we do.Copy !req
209. I haven't been happy
with any of your answers.Copy !req
210. You've done a pretty good job
concealing your dissatisfaction.Copy !req
211. So far, the OPR,
after examining your hard drive...Copy !req
212. has determined that he or she attached
a virus to the e-mails sent to you.Copy !req
213. It's a Trojan horse application,
and once installed...Copy !req
214. allows the perpetrator
to record all your inputs.Copy !req
215. - He read my e-mails.
- That's how he knew where you shop.Copy !req
216. - You traded e-mails with Hogan.
- He knew I was shopping?Copy !req
217. - He was there.
- How do you know?Copy !req
218. He thought you looked good
in the black Vera Wang.Copy !req
219. - I don't wanna know this.
- That's why I don't tell you.Copy !req
220. - You just did.
- You asked me.Copy !req
221. - The one time you answer...
- Are you going to your gym?Copy !req
222. - What?
- You working out?Copy !req
223. - You said you wanna have gin tonight.
- No.Copy !req
224. I can't go to my gym,
it's flooded.Copy !req
225. - The White House gym?
- Closes at 7.Copy !req
226. Use ours. It's just a couple blocks.Copy !req
227. - Is it a good gym?
- Yes, it's a...Copy !req
228. - We run alongside moving cars.
- You don't have to get snobby about it.Copy !req
229. - Would you like to use our gym?
- Yes, thank you.Copy !req
230. Good morning.Copy !req
231. It should be a showcase. He should have
the best lawyers in the world.Copy !req
232. We gotta make sure he lands
at Dulles and not BWI.Copy !req
233. - Why?
- That's the court that'll have jurisdiction.Copy !req
234. - The law cracks me up.
- I know.Copy !req
235. - What else?
- Josh met with Rick Pintero yesterday...Copy !req
236. on the Working Toward
Independence Act.Copy !req
237. You suppose that could be
any more patronizingly named?Copy !req
238. When we're talking welfare,
that ship's pretty much sailed.Copy !req
239. - What do they want me to eat?
- 300 million for marriage incentives.Copy !req
240. The marriage incentives.
What a bunch of horse manure.Copy !req
241. Is marriage really something
that should be incentivized?Copy !req
242. Where are all
the small-government conservatives...Copy !req
243. when we're talking about Washington
getting into the yenta business?Copy !req
244. - Should we do it?
- Swallow the pill.Copy !req
245. Our own caucus won't discuss it.
It does more good than harm.Copy !req
246. Marriage incentives.Copy !req
247. Used to be all you needed
was a decent dental practice.Copy !req
248. You didn't grow up in the Catskills.Copy !req
249. - I'm erudite.
- Yes.Copy !req
250. - Let's do it.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
251. - Charlie.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
252. I appreciated you coming
to the cemetery with me.Copy !req
253. - Yes, sir.
- So it's been a year.Copy !req
254. Why don't you organize the search
for a new executive secretary.Copy !req
255. Yes, sir. Absolutely.Copy !req
256. I may not like the first couple
of candidates. It may take a while.Copy !req
257. No, I don't imagine we're actually
gonna hire somebody, but this is a step.Copy !req
258. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
259. "Eliminating the term 'North' from North
Dakota is an important state issue...Copy !req
260. and the president feels
it should be resolved on a state level.Copy !req
261. While the president is sympathetic...Copy !req
262. and understands the large economic
ramifications of this name change...Copy !req
263. he feels the issue is not yet ripe
for national attention.Copy !req
264. The president wishes you well
and thanks you for your support."Copy !req
265. Miss Moss, are you aware
that studies clearly show...Copy !req
266. the word'North" leaves impressions
that this state is cold and flat...Copy !req
267. significantly depressing tourism
and business startup?Copy !req
268. Due respect, your average temperature
is 7 degrees...Copy !req
269. your average snowfall, 42 inches, and
a name change won't take care of that.Copy !req
270. We enjoy roughly the same
climate as South Dakota.Copy !req
271. We took in 73.7 million
in tourism revenue last year.Copy !req
272. They took in 1.2 billion.
They have the word'South."Copy !req
273. Also, Mount Rushmore.Copy !req
274. - Is the White House behind this or not?
- Please, let me be clear again.Copy !req
275. I have very narrow parameters in terms
of representing the White House.Copy !req
276. I'm an assistant to Josh Lyman,
and I was sent here to read a statement.Copy !req
277. Hey.Copy !req
278. - Something smells great.
- There's going to be stew.Copy !req
279. - It's ready? We can eat it?
- I'm cooking it for the fourth time.Copy !req
280. - The beef is well-done?
- Burnt.Copy !req
281. - The peas?
- Baby peas.Copy !req
282. - The carrots?
- Soft.Copy !req
283. - Potatoes?
- Cute.Copy !req
284. - Gravy?
- Well spiced, much like myself.Copy !req
285. Oh, this is gonna be a good night.Copy !req
286. My woman, a fine stew
and a Mets game on national TV.Copy !req
287. - You see how I slipped that last one in?
- I saw.Copy !req
288. - You listening to Van Morrison again?
- It's the radio.Copy !req
289. You never said how the meeting
with Pintero went.Copy !req
290. Well, good.Copy !req
291. - They're gonna vote it out of committee?
- We're getting a billion for childcare.Copy !req
292. What do you have to give
the Republicans for $ 1 billion?Copy !req
293. Three hundred million
for marriage incentives.Copy !req
294. You mean like subscriptions
to Bride and Groom?Copy !req
295. - No. The marriage incentives are...
- I know what marriage incentives are.Copy !req
296. - Let's not do this.
- Cash bonuses to moms on welfare...Copy !req
297. who marry the child's father,
canceling out child support debts if the...Copy !req
298. You know what? Every single study
shows kids do better in two-parent...Copy !req
299. Kids are better off raised
by parents who love them.Copy !req
300. - Your solution is loveless.
- It's not my solution!Copy !req
301. Does my government really believe
that the law can create a family?Copy !req
302. Do these old fat-ass men really believe
that if they just pay people...Copy !req
303. to act like Leave It to Beaver,
everything is fine?Copy !req
304. Did you think the person
in my job was gonna sit?Copy !req
305. This is about collecting votes
from white men.Copy !req
306. If we don't get elected,
I promise you...Copy !req
307. President Ritchie is gonna have
a lot less sympathy for your agenda.Copy !req
308. - This bill isn't gonna pass.
- It is. It's locked up.Copy !req
309. - American Children's Alliance is behind it.
- Not for long. It's me.Copy !req
310. Everyone should stay there.Copy !req
311. I need Legislative to put together
a meeting with Regina King.Copy !req
312. - We're back to work.
- I wanna shoot calls...Copy !req
313. to the Congressional Women's
Caucus...Copy !req
314. the CRA and all of Matty's people.Copy !req
315. The marriage incentives are in the welfare
reauthorization and its committee.Copy !req
316. Hold on. Can you call Robinson?Copy !req
317. Yeah, it's Josh.
The secretary of labor's in Chicago...Copy !req
318. Tell him I'm calling in the IOU
on prenatal health care.Copy !req
319. Hold on. I'm sorry, honey,
that was an accident.Copy !req
320. There's a pay phone on the corner,
although it's been out of order a while.Copy !req
321. Get Kate Feldon
with the Society of Businesswomen.Copy !req
322. She's spinning now, so keep trying.
I'm on my way. Let's get to work.Copy !req
323. Put Janeane on the phone. I'll hold.Copy !req
324. Janeane, it's me. Let's suit up.Copy !req
325. Right now, we have a unique opportunity
to re-examine our economy...Copy !req
326. and mindset and develop strategies
to maximize our state's strengths...Copy !req
327. and resources
to generate new business.Copy !req
328. The key strategy being to remove
the negative image of the state...Copy !req
329. by establishing a more inviting
state name: Dakota.Copy !req
330. Okay, we'll adjourn for the night and
pick this up tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.Copy !req
331. Thank you, everyone.Copy !req
332. - You did very well.
- Thank you. I just read what I was given.Copy !req
333. No, you answered the questions
with a lot of poise.Copy !req
334. - Thank you.
- Speaking of questions...Copy !req
335. how's my friend Sam doing?
- Fine. I'll let him know you asked.Copy !req
336. - I meant since the videotape.
- Fine.Copy !req
337. I shouldn't be reading into the fact
that they sent you and not him?Copy !req
338. - Oh, God, no. Mr. Chairman...
- Harry.Copy !req
339. - I'm sorry if this sounds insulting, but...
- It's not on Seaborn's radar.Copy !req
340. I'm senior assistant,
he's a senior counselor.Copy !req
341. Difference between me and Sam
is the difference between me...Copy !req
342. and the second baseman
for the Yankees.Copy !req
343. He took one in the teeth, that's all.Copy !req
344. All right. Tell him Harry Conroy says,
"Get up off the dirt."Copy !req
345. Yes, sir.Copy !req
346. - You guys have a shooting range?
- Yeah. How was the workout?Copy !req
347. - Good.
- Home?Copy !req
348. Let me try one of those.Copy !req
349. - One of what?
- A gun.Copy !req
350. - Shooting?
- Let me see what all the fuss is about.Copy !req
351. - Have you ever shot a gun before?
- Yeah.Copy !req
352. - What kind?
- Well, I haven't shot one as much...Copy !req
353. as I've seen others
shoot them in the movies.Copy !req
354. - You guys use bull's-eyes?
- Yeah.Copy !req
355. I thought you'd use
those outlines of people.Copy !req
356. We have those too.Copy !req
357. If someone comes for you,
they don't have a bull's-eye.Copy !req
358. - They do if I'm guarding you.
- Tough talk. I like that.Copy !req
359. - Give me your gun.
- Let me get you a.25 caliber.Copy !req
360. - What's wrong with yours?
- It's a.357 magnum.Copy !req
361. - I've heard of that. That's a good brand.
- Yes.Copy !req
362. Let's go. I'm feeling twitchy.Copy !req
363. That's good news for me.Copy !req
364. - Don't come close to pointing it at me.
- This is cool.Copy !req
365. - I'm gonna hold your shoulder.
- I don't need training wheels.Copy !req
366. Okay.Copy !req
367. Be careful.
That.357 has got a bit of a kick.Copy !req
368. - That thing practically broke my arm.
- Yeah.Copy !req
369. I've been wrong about guns.
Just hand these out to the criminals.Copy !req
370. You wanna go home now?Copy !req
371. - What do you got?
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
372. Marksmanship-wise.Copy !req
373. I can fire a gun without falling down,
if that's what you mean.Copy !req
374. Show me what you got.
I'll tell you what.Copy !req
375. I'll make it interesting.
You get five bullets.Copy !req
376. If you can't land in the middle,
I get to drive my car.Copy !req
377. That makes it interesting for you.Copy !req
378. Come on. One dead center,
I never bother you about it again.Copy !req
379. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
380. - Plus, say something nice to me.
- Something nice?Copy !req
381. Yeah.Copy !req
382. - Okay.
- All right.Copy !req
383. Wait. That was a trick. You know
you can do it. Put three in the middle.Copy !req
384. - Three?
- Three out of five. You wanna back out?Copy !req
385. No, I'm worried about what
I'm gonna do with the other two.Copy !req
386. - I'll be working against muscle memory.
- Look, if you wanna back...Copy !req
387. That's what I call dead center.Copy !req
388. - What happened to the other two?
- What do you mean?Copy !req
389. There were five bullets,
and I don't believe it.Copy !req
390. Three dead center.Copy !req
391. How do you shoot like that?Copy !req
392. They give us lessons.Copy !req
393. I don't believe it.Copy !req
394. Well?Copy !req
395. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
396. - I like that you're tall.
- You do?Copy !req
397. Makes me feel more feminine.Copy !req
398. I'm gonna go change.Copy !req
399. Hot, hot, hot!Copy !req
400. Come in.Copy !req
401. Excuse me.Copy !req
402. - Hi.
- You got a minute?Copy !req
403. - What do you need?
- The president's ready to hire a secretary.Copy !req
404. - That's good.
- He asked me to start a search.Copy !req
405. I thought about Elizabeth Etcheberry,
but the German accent.Copy !req
406. And Beverly Casey's been secretary
to two ambassadors.Copy !req
407. Sue Po, who worked
for the head of the OPM.Copy !req
408. Jerry Walters, but I don't think
he's gonna be comfortable with a man.Copy !req
409. You'll find somebody.Copy !req
410. - How have you been?
- Fine.Copy !req
411. Okay. If you think of anybody
in the middle of the night...Copy !req
412. Yeah.Copy !req
413. We spent millions of dollars
developing a pen for the astronauts...Copy !req
414. that would work in zero gravity.
Know what the Russians did?Copy !req
415. - Used a pencil?
- They used a pencil.Copy !req
416. - What do you need?
- We're here separately.Copy !req
417. - This is a coincidence.
- Okay.Copy !req
418. We have to move faster
on the welfare bill.Copy !req
419. - You told me we were fine.
- We are fine.Copy !req
420. The women's groups
will have their day.Copy !req
421. - The women's groups?
- One particular women's group.Copy !req
422. Josh, is there nothing you can do
to tame that woman?Copy !req
423. - How scared should I be?
- Not at all.Copy !req
424. - It's gonna be fine?
- Yeah.Copy !req
425. - That's a body blow, we lose the vote.
- We're not gonna lose the floor vote.Copy !req
426. You?Copy !req
427. President needs to tell the archbishop
he can't be at the fundraiser.Copy !req
428. - I know.
- He needs a reason.Copy !req
429. We'll use the same thing
we were gonna use with Chigorin.Copy !req
430. That's exactly what we do.
No, this is it. It takes care...Copy !req
431. We get the leadership to schedule
the welfare vote for next week...Copy !req
432. on the day we're supposed
to be in New York.Copy !req
433. We can't go because of the vote, and the
early vote gives Amy no time to mobilize.Copy !req
434. - Done.
- This is good.Copy !req
435. Toby, an encouraging word from you
to Sam wouldn't be out of line.Copy !req
436. - Sam doesn't need to be patronized.
- It'd make him feel better.Copy !req
437. I don't want him feeling better.
I want him feeling mad.Copy !req
438. Is there anyone you'd rather have
as a blood enemy less than Sam?Copy !req
439. - That's how I want him.
- You know, it was a screwup...Copy !req
440. but I gotta say I love the way
he did it full-speed. Bam.Copy !req
441. Like there's
a Sam Seaborn-shaped hole in the wall.Copy !req
442. - They've got something for us.
- Who?Copy !req
443. Excuse me.Copy !req
444. Ten-hut.Copy !req
445. - Did we solve immunity?
- Sir...Copy !req
446. - Did we solve it?
- Yes, sir. But it doesn't matter.Copy !req
447. - Why?
- The judge would throw out the case.Copy !req
448. The chain of evidence
leading us to Shareef...Copy !req
449. originates with the testimony
of the Chechnyan prisoner.Copy !req
450. - Yeah.
- His testimony was reached...Copy !req
451. after prolonged physical abuse
by Russian soldiers.Copy !req
452. - He was tortured?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
453. Well, I'm no lawyer,
but I'm pretty sure that's inadmissible.Copy !req
454. Yes, sir.Copy !req
455. We'll come up
with a less aggressive way.Copy !req
456. We'll cancel his trip here, obviously,
but we'll come up with something.Copy !req
457. That's the ball game.Copy !req
458. - This is always when you say something.
- No.Copy !req
459. No.Copy !req
460. Have you changed shampoo?Copy !req
461. You have. I can tell because your hair
seems bouncy and more manageable.Copy !req
462. I like to look good for you.Copy !req
463. Well, I appreciate it.Copy !req
464. Can you tell when it's peacetime
and wartime anymore?Copy !req
465. No.Copy !req
466. I don't know who the expert
on warfare is...Copy !req
467. but any list of the top
has got to include me...Copy !req
468. and I can't tell when it's peacetime
and wartime anymore.Copy !req
469. Look, international laws
always recognize...Copy !req
470. certain protected persons
who you couldn't attack.Copy !req
471. - It's been this way since the Romans.
- In peacetime.Copy !req
472. Yes.Copy !req
473. The Battle of Agincourt.Copy !req
474. This was the French
fighting against the British archers.Copy !req
475. This was like a polo match.Copy !req
476. The battles were observed by heralds,
and they picked the winners.Copy !req
477. And if a soldier laid down his arms...Copy !req
478. he was treated humanely.Copy !req
479. - Yeah.
- And the international laws...Copy !req
480. that you're talking about,
this is where a lot of them were written.Copy !req
481. At a time and a place...Copy !req
482. where a person could tell
between peacetime and wartime.Copy !req
483. The idea of targeting one person
was ridiculous.Copy !req
484. It wouldn't have occurred to the French
to try to kill William Pitt.Copy !req
485. - That changed after Pearl Harbor.
- I don't like where this is going.Copy !req
486. - Leo...
- In the Situation Room, Fitz.Copy !req
487. - We killed Yamamoto. We shot his plane.
- We declared war.Copy !req
488. - Had Bonhoeffer been successful...
- The plot to kill Hitler...Copy !req
489. There would've been statues built
of an assassin.Copy !req
490. We'd have had to explain that
to our kids.Copy !req
491. I'm gonna get back to the office.Copy !req
492. We measure the success
of a mission by two things.Copy !req
493. Was it successful,
and how few civilians did we hurt?Copy !req
494. They measure success by how many.
Pregnant women are delivering bombs.Copy !req
495. You're talking to me
about international laws?Copy !req
496. The laws of nature
don't even apply here.Copy !req
497. I've been a soldier for 38 years,
and I found an enemy I can kill.Copy !req
498. He can't cancel Shareef's trip, Leo.
You've got to tell him he can't cancel it.Copy !req
499. Excuse me, I'm looking for Josh Lyman.Copy !req
500. They're getting telegrams,
2-to-1 against.Copy !req
501. I just met with two congressmen.Copy !req
502. - Amy got it going in 24 hours.
- Two-to-one against.Copy !req
503. Yeah, I'm not talking
about just a couple either.Copy !req
504. - It'll be all right.
- Excuse me, Sam.Copy !req
505. Hey, you just got back
from someplace, right?Copy !req
506. Bismarck. DNC platform hearings
on dropping'North."Copy !req
507. - Just from the state?
- Not the compass.Copy !req
508. The chairman
was a guy named Harry Conroy.Copy !req
509. Yes.Copy !req
510. He said,"Tell Sam Harry Conroy
says get up off the dirt."Copy !req
511. - I am up off the dirt.
- Okay.Copy !req
512. - I am.
- How you doing?Copy !req
513. - You got a second?
- Actually, I'm crashing a deadline.Copy !req
514. - I'll pick your spirits up.
- My spirits are up.Copy !req
515. - I can do magic.
- Really?Copy !req
516. - Excuse me.
- Hey.Copy !req
517. - Can I get the room a minute?
- Come see me about that magic?Copy !req
518. Will do.Copy !req
519. The first election I ever worked
was Bronx borough president.Copy !req
520. There were questions about my guy's tax
returns, so we called a press conference.Copy !req
521. It was 104 degrees that day
on Bronx Boulevard.Copy !req
522. I thought with a tax thing,
the shorter the better...Copy !req
523. so I turned off the air conditioning.Copy !req
524. - Did the press end it fast?
- Not so much as the candidate fainting.Copy !req
525. Well, you changed the story.Copy !req
526. I don't even think
I ended up voting for him.Copy !req
527. Now, your screwup was worse
and on a much bigger stage.Copy !req
528. - I'm fine.
- Yeah?Copy !req
529. This is no time for the starters
to be on the bench.Copy !req
530. All right.Copy !req
531. I read the Everglades pitch
from Muriel and Jane.Copy !req
532. - Right, it's a pass.
- No, that's the memo I'm writing.Copy !req
533. I don't think so.Copy !req
534. I think anything tactical
makes us look bad.Copy !req
535. Well, we should get used to it.
We go on TV.Copy !req
536. We do a better job selling it
than the other guy.Copy !req
537. We win the argument, which is Ritchie
is with Florida's special interests.Copy !req
538. And we do it right, we forced him
into defending polluters.Copy !req
539. Jane and Muriel are right.
Also, it's the right thing to do.Copy !req
540. - Ginger?
- Yeah.Copy !req
541. - I'm printing this now. You'll get it out?
- Yeah.Copy !req
542. - All right.
- Thanks, though.Copy !req
543. - Sam.
- Yeah?Copy !req
544. You're still mad, right?Copy !req
545. Well, she needs the skills,
110 words a minute.Copy !req
546. And discretion, obviously.Copy !req
547. A willingness to put this first,
no matter what.Copy !req
548. - But there's an X-factor, right?
- Yes.Copy !req
549. - What is it?
- It's unknown.Copy !req
550. - That's why it's called an X-factor.
- Yes.Copy !req
551. - An intangible...
- I've got the lady.Copy !req
552. I've got the lady.
I know who the lady's gonna be.Copy !req
553. I've got the lady.Copy !req
554. Josh, what the hell did you do
to this welfare vote?Copy !req
555. - We scheduled it for Wednesday night.
- Why?Copy !req
556. Two reasons. First was to get you
out of the Catholic Charities event.Copy !req
557. I'm going to that.Copy !req
558. - Ritchie has accepted an invitation.
- I know.Copy !req
559. - None of us thought it was a good idea.
- The fundraiser was my idea.Copy !req
560. I've known the archbishop
for 20 years. I won't play politics.Copy !req
561. Did anyone wanna ask me
about this?Copy !req
562. You've got me running a vote
from the floor of a Broadway theater.Copy !req
563. - Where are we on the vote?
- To be honest, we're slipping a little bit.Copy !req
564. - We are? Why?
- The women's groups are raising...Copy !req
565. True or false, my life would be better
if you and your girlfriend swapped jobs?Copy !req
566. Why is it for every good thing you do,
we gotta endure three screwups?Copy !req
567. - Well, I'm sorry about this.
- Sorry doesn't get me 218.Copy !req
568. It doesn't get back the ad
that slipped through your office...Copy !req
569. any more than it gets tobacco,
which you gave away for lunch money.Copy !req
570. And why don't you know
what Ritchie's commitments are...Copy !req
571. before you get anywhere near
my schedule?Copy !req
572. I've got the presidential box
at a cattle call. Win the damn vote.Copy !req
573. - Yes, sir.
- We've got a G-8 briefing.Copy !req
574. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
575. That was fun.
You should've come in.Copy !req
576. - Should've let me use the car.
- It's 2 blocks.Copy !req
577. - That's not the point.
- You're no fun.Copy !req
578. Me? I'm nothing but fun.Copy !req
579. What are you doing wrong right now?Copy !req
580. - Walking on the wrong side of you.
- Yes.Copy !req
581. - We couldn't be people walking home?
- We are.Copy !req
582. You told me that you were at Rosslyn,
and I never said anything.Copy !req
583. - I should've said something.
- No.Copy !req
584. What was your job right then?Copy !req
585. - To take the shooters down.
- I guess I figured.Copy !req
586. I had a good angle on the left,
which was Ray Beckwith.Copy !req
587. - Which one was Beckwith? Was he...?
- The 15-year-old.Copy !req
588. - Did you hit him?
- A lot of people shooting at him.Copy !req
589. Yeah, I hit him.
I know I did. I killed him.Copy !req
590. See? And you said I can't be fun.Copy !req
591. I just like your smile, is all.Copy !req
592. I wouldn't mind seeing it more.Copy !req
593. - I can't. No, I can't.
- No. Yeah. I was just...Copy !req
594. You're right. Shouldn't you
be walking in front of me?Copy !req
595. - In a crowded place.
- We take chances?Copy !req
596. - I'll walk in front.
- Forget it, I'm home.Copy !req
597. - Can we drop it?
- Sure. I'd just...Copy !req
598. I say,"Can we drop it?" You say,
"Sure," and then we don't drop it.Copy !req
599. This is Thayer. Four past midnight.
I've got Flamingo from Donovan.Copy !req
600. - All right. Take it easy, Pam.
- Good night, boss.Copy !req
601. This has gotta be costing you
an awful lot of PAC money.Copy !req
602. You didn't wanna come up?Copy !req
603. It's after midnight.
They wouldn't let me up.Copy !req
604. - We were working late.
- Yes, you are.Copy !req
605. For every vote on the left you grab,
I gotta get one on the right.Copy !req
606. - You know what that does to the bill?
- Yeah.Copy !req
607. So we've been phone-banking
the Bible belt...Copy !req
608. telling them how weak
the abstinence provisions are.Copy !req
609. I've seen you
level hotel ballrooms screaming...Copy !req
610. about how ridiculous abstinence is.Copy !req
611. I don't wanna sleep with them.
I want their vote.Copy !req
612. When this is over
and we win...Copy !req
613. you know whose job it is to pay a visit
to the people who weren't with us?Copy !req
614. What happened?Copy !req
615. - Nothing.
- You just threatened me. What happened?Copy !req
616. Just because you have Sherry Lansing's
platinum card...Copy !req
617. doesn't mean you go toe-to-toe...Copy !req
618. with people writing the federal budget
when they need you.Copy !req
619. - You're gonna put us out of business?
- There's an election in November...Copy !req
620. and you are a player
in a political party.Copy !req
621. If you win by selling out the party,
who cares who wins?Copy !req
622. "Jed Bartlet, not quite
as mean-spirited as the other guy."Copy !req
623. Doesn't really send me running
to my polling place.Copy !req
624. All right.Copy !req
625. - Are you coming over?
- I have to go back to the office.Copy !req
626. We ought to be able to talk about this.Copy !req
627. Yeah.Copy !req
628. Mr. President.Copy !req
629. What are you doing here?
It's 1:00 in the morning.Copy !req
630. I called over to the residence.
They said you were in the office.Copy !req
631. - You were home?
- Yeah.Copy !req
632. Hey, by the way, I signed off
on canceling the trip.Copy !req
633. I signed off on setting the vote.Copy !req
634. You came over here
to stand in front of Josh?Copy !req
635. No.Copy !req
636. It's almost 8 a.m. in Qumar.Copy !req
637. You shouldn't cancel the trip.
Tell me to call the State Department.Copy !req
638. Why?Copy !req
639. - What are the alternatives?
- What are you saying?Copy !req
640. - Are we going to attack Qumar?
- Maybe.Copy !req
641. Now?Copy !req
642. We can kill all the armed teenagers
we want, we still won't have Shareef.Copy !req
643. Let's get some more intelligence,
some more counsel.Copy !req
644. More counsel is gonna help me
violate international law.Copy !req
645. It's pretty easy
to say this is a war scenario.Copy !req
646. It's easy to say anything
is a war scenario.Copy !req
647. War on poverty.
It's a slippery slope.Copy !req
648. - Stop it!
- What?Copy !req
649. Just stop it already.Copy !req
650. This is the most horrifying part
of your liberalism.Copy !req
651. - You think there are moral absolutes.
- There are moral absolutes.Copy !req
652. Apparently not.
He's killed innocent people.Copy !req
653. He'll kill more,
so we have to end him.Copy !req
654. The village idiot comes to that conclusion
before the Nobel Laureate.Copy !req
655. El Principe has justified
every act of oppression.Copy !req
656. - This is justified. This is required.
- Says who?Copy !req
657. Says me, Mr. President.Copy !req
658. You wanna ask more people,
they'll say so too.Copy !req
659. - Well, a mob mentality is just...
- Not a mob.Copy !req
660. Just you.Copy !req
661. Right now.Copy !req
662. This decision.Copy !req
663. Which, by the way,
is one of self-defense.Copy !req
664. Let Shareef come here
and we have options.Copy !req
665. Cancel the trip and we have none.
That's all we're talking about right now.Copy !req
666. There are moral absolutes.Copy !req
667. Make the call.Copy !req
668. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
