1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. This man got in front of millions
of people and screwed his wife.Copy !req
3. I'm running again, Abbey.Copy !req
4. The FDA is signing off on RU-486.Copy !req
5. You think he apologizes
and numbers go up?Copy !req
6. I think you brought me in
because they haven't.Copy !req
7. - What's Toby's problem?
- What?Copy !req
8. He's got a problem with me
and I'd like to know why.Copy !req
9. Justice Department needs $30 million
for its suit against tobacco companies.Copy !req
10. Now I want to turn the heat up
and issue a release.Copy !req
11. Leo, talk to me.
I know what you're thinking about.Copy !req
12. Would you say the president's situation
makes it harder for him to focus on...?Copy !req
13. He's relieved to focus on
something that matters.Copy !req
14. - Relieved?
- She was tired.Copy !req
15. - C.J. doesn't misspeak.
- She just did.Copy !req
16. Damn it!Copy !req
17. "We're more than a set of borders.
We're bounded by the reach of freedom.Copy !req
18. We have mastered every moment.
We have vanquished every foe.Copy !req
19. We are strong, we are prosperous,
we are at peace with the world.Copy !req
20. We are, as we have ever been,
the envy of every civilization.Copy !req
21. We are, as we have ever been,
the hope of all mankind.Copy !req
22. But I am not satisfied.
Indeed, I am restless.Copy !req
23. I come before you not to speak of
the America we have..."Copy !req
24. - Excuse me, sir.
- Yeah?Copy !req
25. - We're the envy of every civilization?
- Yeah.Copy !req
26. - Really?
- They don't vote in England, Toby.Copy !req
27. - They do, actually.
- He meant that they don't...Copy !req
28. - We know what he meant.
- I'll change it, sir.Copy !req
29. Somebody stick some
pom-poms in his hand.Copy !req
30. "But I am not satisfied.
Indeed, I am restless.Copy !req
31. I come here not to speak of
the America we have...Copy !req
32. but of the better, stronger, more
prosperous America we can create."Copy !req
33. - There's a snake.
- What kind?Copy !req
34. I don't know and I don't wanna ask him.
Can somebody shoot it, please?Copy !req
35. - Probably a garter snake.
- It's a garter snake, don't worry about it.Copy !req
36. "I seek re-election to the presidency,
not because of its glories...Copy !req
37. but its challenges."Copy !req
38. - And I have a problem here.
- I wrote that.Copy !req
39. I'm happy for you."Its challenges"...Copy !req
40. sounds like you're overwhelmed.
This is exactly the wrong time for that.Copy !req
41. No, it's exactly the right time
to raise the stakes of the election.Copy !req
42. - Why?
- If it's a day at the beach...Copy !req
43. any bozo with a handshake can do it.Copy !req
44. Sorry, America wants a happy warrior
to lead the country, not Dr. Kevorkian.Copy !req
45. It's true, sir, America does not want
Dr. Kevorkian to lead the country.Copy !req
46. We've got polling data on that.Copy !req
47. - All right, we'll revisit it.
- The snake is looking at me now.Copy !req
48. "A candidate owes his campaign
no less than he owes his country:Copy !req
49. Everything he has,
everything he can give, all his..."Copy !req
50. - Again, I'm sorry, sir.
- Yeah?Copy !req
51. I'm not wild about your
campaign and country.Copy !req
52. - No, that's okay.
- People don't hear that well.Copy !req
53. The people there hear fine.Copy !req
54. He doesn't mean people don't hear well,
he means hear'that" well. I disagree.Copy !req
55. I see the snake now too.Copy !req
56. You're entitled to declare
yourself the leader...Copy !req
57. of the campaign and country
since you are.Copy !req
58. Except if it's him and not the voters,
it points the pundits toward the MS.Copy !req
59. I think the cat's out of the bag
on the MS.Copy !req
60. Does somebody here have MS
and they haven't said anything?Copy !req
61. Seriously, that's a pretty big snake.Copy !req
62. "I am not satisfied." Indeed, I am close
to taking my life with a wheat thresher.Copy !req
63. - Bruno?
- Yeah, listen up. I've been thinking.Copy !req
64. It might not be such a bad idea
for me to lock you all in here...Copy !req
65. and set the place on fire.Copy !req
66. We have 48 hours before we kick off
this campaign. We will work hard...Copy !req
67. we will work well,
and we will work together...Copy !req
68. or so help me, Mother of God...Copy !req
69. I will stick a pitchfork so far up your
asses you will, quite simply, be dead.Copy !req
70. "And so, with pride and purpose,
I hereby announce my candidacy...Copy !req
71. for the presidency
of the United States."Copy !req
72. Jed?Copy !req
73. - I didn't see you there.
- Yeah.Copy !req
74. - I didn't see you.
- What's going on?Copy !req
75. Peter thinks sanctions
are a waste of time, I agree.Copy !req
76. In about a half-hour, we're
buzzing the island with...Copy !req
77. what they call an alpha-strike
formation to show Bazan... .Copy !req
78. Will it work?Copy !req
79. - Jed?
- Yeah?Copy !req
80. I said, will it work?Copy !req
81. Sorry, I said I don't know. We'll see.Copy !req
82. C.J. got beaten up pretty good
in the briefing room.Copy !req
83. Yeah, that was bound to happen.Copy !req
84. Maybe you wanna think about
sitting her down for a few days.Copy !req
85. - Jed?
- Yeah?Copy !req
86. I said, maybe you want to think about
benching C.J. for a few days.Copy !req
87. - Yeah.
- At least on Haiti.Copy !req
88. Well, that's Leo's call.Copy !req
89. Send in Nancy or Peter
or someone from State?Copy !req
90. - That way the stories don't get mixed up.
- Yeah, that's Leo's call.Copy !req
91. Look, I'm sorry,
I can't get into our thing tonight.Copy !req
92. Two days ago,
you said you had a lot to say.Copy !req
93. I do, that's why I can't get into it.
I have to read.Copy !req
94. That's all right.Copy !req
95. All right, I'm going in the study.Copy !req
96. Okay.Copy !req
97. Abbey, you were lying down
when I came in, I didn't see you.Copy !req
98. I believe you.Copy !req
99. - He has to sell the greatness of America.
- Why?Copy !req
100. It's an implicit argument
to stay the course.Copy !req
101. - We're selling the greatness.
- Not enough.Copy !req
102. We're selling it in paragraphs
1, 2, 8, 16, 26 and 34.Copy !req
103. Listen, it's a simple equation:
Bartlet rules America...Copy !req
104. America rocks, therefore Bartlet rocks.Copy !req
105. - "America rocks"?
- "Bartlet rocks"?Copy !req
106. - Yes.
- He really doesn't that much.Copy !req
107. - Leo, can I see you for a second?
- Yeah.Copy !req
108. - RU-486.
- There's nothing we can do.Copy !req
109. The last thing we need
is to come out of the gate...Copy !req
110. waving a flag to the heartland,
saying,"We don't share your values."Copy !req
111. The president understands all that.Copy !req
112. - And?
- That's the way it goes.Copy !req
113. The FDA's an independent agency.
They can announce when they want.Copy !req
114. The FDA's a division of HHS and
technically, not an independent agency.Copy !req
115. I can keep him away from this,
call the chief of staff.Copy !req
116. - I got him his job, they can wait...
- No.Copy !req
117. two weeks to announce the drug,
not on Monday.Copy !req
118. - I can fix tobacco.
- Tobacco?Copy !req
119. No, I meant 486.Copy !req
120. Leave the FDA alone.Copy !req
121. Morning.Copy !req
122. - Hey, C.J.
- You just get in?Copy !req
123. - A few hours ago.
- Ellie and Zoey are here?Copy !req
124. Yeah. Liz will be here. They're going
for a hike if you wanna join them.Copy !req
125. No, I can't, but I did want to
talk to you about a photo-op.Copy !req
126. - Would you like some cider?
- No, I'm fine.Copy !req
127. We grow the apples
down the hill, it's good.Copy !req
128. Okay. So at any rate...Copy !req
129. - A photo-op.
- Yes.Copy !req
130. My husband and I together.
With the kids.Copy !req
131. Because my husband and I
came to the house separately.Copy !req
132. There were photos of him
getting on the plane alone.Copy !req
133. Ma'am, this is uncomfortable territory,
and obviously, I'd... .Copy !req
134. The press has sources that say
you and the president...Copy !req
135. - Do they have names?
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
136. - The sources.
- No, they're...Copy !req
137. Unnamed sources.Copy !req
138. C.J., unnamed sources make me crazy.Copy !req
139. Just one time, I'd like to see, instead of
"according to unnamed sources"...Copy !req
140. I'd like to see'according to tweaky,
little ill-informed, chicken-ass wannabe..."Copy !req
141. Don't ever come to me again
with unnamed sources, C.J.Copy !req
142. You don't get any cider.Copy !req
143. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
144. I spoke to the first lady before.Copy !req
145. I thought it might not be
a bad idea...Copy !req
146. if there were some opportunities
with them together at the house.Copy !req
147. - What was her reaction?
- Well, she denied me cider.Copy !req
148. - What else?
- I'll brief the Sunday papers...Copy !req
149. on what they can expect
from the speech.Copy !req
150. - It's not written yet.
- I'm just giving highlights.Copy !req
151. - What highlights?
- I'm making them up.Copy !req
152. I thought maybe you could speak to her.Copy !req
153. - Who?
- The first lady.Copy !req
154. Every paper had a picture
on the front page...Copy !req
155. of the president going home
by himself.Copy !req
156. - It's a Saturday paper.
- There are questions...Copy !req
157. We're two private men, C.J.,
we don't talk about our marriages.Copy !req
158. What do you want from me?Copy !req
159. I'm not wild about the fact
you told Toby what we discussed.Copy !req
160. He's the communications director,
you don't think he should know?Copy !req
161. When I think it's time, I will tell anyone
working for me anything I damn please.Copy !req
162. You know what, C.J.?
Stop being pissed at me about Haiti.Copy !req
163. Yeah, okay.Copy !req
164. - It's a surrender.
- It's not a surrender if he has demands.Copy !req
165. - It's as close as we come these days.
- What does he want?Copy !req
166. Ten million dollars, U.S.,
a private plane...Copy !req
167. and a guarantee he won't
be prosecuted for war crimes.Copy !req
168. What else?Copy !req
169. Asylum for himself
and 60 of his family members.Copy !req
170. - Where?
- Here.Copy !req
171. That's a bit of a dilemma.Copy !req
172. Does anybody have room at their place
for Bazan and 60 of his relatives?Copy !req
173. Any amnesty conditions could be
in violation of Hague treaties.Copy !req
174. Yeah.Copy !req
175. Do we want to say anyone can stage a
coup and walk away if it doesn't work?Copy !req
176. And with 10 million dollars
and a private plane?Copy !req
177. A shootout in the palace
is the worst outcome...Copy !req
178. Bazan's full surrender is the best,
and that's what we've got on the table.Copy !req
179. I want to end this peacefully, right now.
Nancy, what do you think of Venezuela?Copy !req
180. Venezuela wants to be a resource for
supplying Strategic Petroleum Reserves.Copy !req
181. Tell them I'll give the SPR
strong consideration.Copy !req
182. Mike, have the Canadians
get a message through.Copy !req
183. We'll unfreeze his U.S. accounts,
but he can't remove money from Haiti.Copy !req
184. Only his wife, his children
and his parents can seek asylum.Copy !req
185. If he tries to go back,
he'll be under arrest.Copy !req
186. He can screw a private plane, he'll fly on
a C-9 from Port-au-Prince to Caracas...Copy !req
187. and if he's very good, we won't
shoot him in the head on the way.Copy !req
188. - Tell me when it's done.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
189. - Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
190. - Nancy?
- Yeah?Copy !req
191. Let me talk to you a second.Copy !req
192. When this is a done deal, I want you
to stick around and brief the press.Copy !req
193. - She made a mistake.
- I'm not punishing her.Copy !req
194. - She made...
- I'm not punishing her.Copy !req
195. You're not the face
of this administration...Copy !req
196. you had no part of the MS thing, and
you won't be asked questions about it.Copy !req
197. I don't feel right about this.Copy !req
198. I don't care.Copy !req
199. - Can I talk to him?
- He's on his way up from the Sit Room.Copy !req
200. Good news about Haiti.Copy !req
201. We should've gone in with four tank
divisions and turned it into a casino.Copy !req
202. - Manifest destiny.
- Bet your ass.Copy !req
203. - You got a second?
- Yeah.Copy !req
204. - So I wanted to apologize about before.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
205. - You know what I'm talking about, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
206. So I wanted to make you
aware of something.Copy !req
207. I looked through the transcript
a couple times and he never apologized.Copy !req
208. - What do you mean?
- In the interview.Copy !req
209. It's something we'll get
hung with later.Copy !req
210. Wait a few weeks, see what happens
with numbers and take another look.Copy !req
211. - Yeah.
- Anything else?Copy !req
212. - He wanted a private plane?
- You believe it?Copy !req
213. State Department suggests
we praise the French government...Copy !req
214. for their help in resolving this matter.Copy !req
215. I would, but I'm worried
they'd surrender.Copy !req
216. You did well, Mr. President.Copy !req
217. - When do you think C.J. can brief?
- Nancy's gonna brief.Copy !req
218. - Yeah?
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
219. You did well.Copy !req
220. We haven't picked up any ground in
lowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Illinois.Copy !req
221. It's only been a week.Copy !req
222. Yeah, but we struck the agricultural
trade deal with Argentina.Copy !req
223. Farm country ought to love that.Copy !req
224. Well, that story got a little drowned out.Copy !req
225. Yes, it did.Copy !req
226. I could stand on the Sears Tower with
a Stratocaster, and it'd be drowned out.Copy !req
227. - I'm not assigning blame.
- Really?Copy !req
228. Yes. We need help.Copy !req
229. - I'm bringing in Bruno Gianelli.
- It's too early for him.Copy !req
230. - No.
- Toby, Sam and Josh aren't gonna like it.Copy !req
231. They'll have to live with it.Copy !req
232. "I say to you today, 'I love this country. 'Copy !req
233. And I will make sure our military
continues to be the best-trained...Copy !req
234. best-equipped, best-led
fighting force in the world."Copy !req
235. - Oh, God.
- I think Sam wants this one.Copy !req
236. If you wanna substitute testosterone
for foreign policy...Copy !req
237. have the president challenge
the crowd to an arm wrestle.Copy !req
238. The foreign-policy section was long.Copy !req
239. And there are no votes in foreign policy.Copy !req
240. It's 98 percent of the world population
and three-quarters of the job.Copy !req
241. That thinking makes us
the envy of every civilization.Copy !req
242. - Scrap this.
- I have a problem here.Copy !req
243. Where?Copy !req
244. "It isn't about the disease God gave me,
but the chances God gave our country."Copy !req
245. - You're going back to what failed.
- What's that?Copy !req
246. All MS, all the time.Copy !req
247. Damage control needed to be done.Copy !req
248. You couldn't stop educating the public.
Nothing makes you happier.Copy !req
249. A month ago, 74 percent of them
thought MS was fatal.Copy !req
250. And every time you told them it wasn't,
there was a story about MS!Copy !req
251. - Just change the subject!
- Why the hell didn't I think of that?Copy !req
252. I don't know, Toby, but if you had,
I probably wouldn't be here!Copy !req
253. - Hello.
- Yes?Copy !req
254. I'm Bruno Gianelli.Copy !req
255. Yes?Copy !req
256. I have an appointment.Copy !req
257. Who's Bruno Gianelli?Copy !req
258. - A strategist.
- Really?Copy !req
259. He got five senators elected,
three governors.Copy !req
260. He got Hacket elected where they
haven't elected a Democrat in 46 years.Copy !req
261. He got the prime minister
of Israel elected.Copy !req
262. And it's entirely possible
he's never voted in his life.Copy !req
263. He's here.Copy !req
264. - Why didn't you send him in?
- No appointment.Copy !req
265. - I did it.
- You did it yourself?Copy !req
266. - Yes.
- And you're not supposed to do that.Copy !req
267. Bruno.Copy !req
268. You guys can find
more ways to blow it... .Copy !req
269. - We might be running out.
- No, I don't think so.Copy !req
270. Why didn't you call
before the announcement?Copy !req
271. - What would you have done?
- Tell him not to make it.Copy !req
272. - That'd be concealing the truth.
- Oh, would it, now?Copy !req
273. Can you help us?Copy !req
274. I need to see your internals.Copy !req
275. Joey Lucas has been polling
every day for months.Copy !req
276. - The girl?
- Yeah.Copy !req
277. Worked with her in California,
she's good.Copy !req
278. What do you want?Copy !req
279. Fifteen percent of the ad buys.
You're gonna say 10.Copy !req
280. So why don't we just say 13.Copy !req
281. - Why don't we say 12.
- Why don't we say 13.Copy !req
282. I want hiring and firing prerogatives
in my department.Copy !req
283. For starters, I'm bringing in
Doug Wegland and Connie Tate.Copy !req
284. A room at the Hay-Adams
and a car and a driver.Copy !req
285. Fine.Copy !req
286. - And unfettered access to the president.
- No.Copy !req
287. - I need it.
- Can't have it.Copy !req
288. Leo, the only races I've ever lost are
ones where the candidate didn't listen...Copy !req
289. or the advice didn't get through.Copy !req
290. - That isn't gonna happen this time.
- Can't do it.Copy !req
291. This is ego, you know it as well as I do.Copy !req
292. I take this request to the president,
tell him it's a deal-breaker, he'll say yes.Copy !req
293. Knock yourself out. Margaret?Copy !req
294. Would you take Mr. Gianelli
into the Oval Office, please?Copy !req
295. - Sure.
- Are you playing with me?Copy !req
296. Mr. Gianelli, would you follow me?Copy !req
297. Sure thing.Copy !req
298. - Bruno.
- Good morning, Mr. President.Copy !req
299. I understand you're gonna
be working with us.Copy !req
300. Obviously, I'm pleased to be approached.Copy !req
301. - I believe there is a great deal I can do.
- You have one or two demands.Copy !req
302. Yes, sir.Copy !req
303. You want 12 percent of the ad buys.Copy !req
304. Okay.Copy !req
305. Twelve. And...Copy !req
306. A room, a car and a driver,
that's no problem.Copy !req
307. Well, thank you, sir.Copy !req
308. - I'll also need unfettered access to you.
- No.Copy !req
309. - Sir...
- I'm sorry, Bruno, Leo runs the show.Copy !req
310. - Respectfully, sir...
- It's a deal-breaker.Copy !req
311. Okay.Copy !req
312. Anyone else I have to
field things through?Copy !req
313. I was sorry to hear about
Dolores Landingham.Copy !req
314. Can you help us out?Copy !req
315. Yes, sir.Copy !req
316. Do I need to explain rules on making
appointments again? Are you confused?Copy !req
317. - Get out.
- I'll jot them down.Copy !req
318. How'd it go?Copy !req
319. - Shut up.
- What's first?Copy !req
320. - We get together in a room.
- After that?Copy !req
321. - An event.
- How's two weeks from Monday?Copy !req
322. - Is that the soonest we can do it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
323. We'll scout locations in New Hampshire.
Maybe a high school.Copy !req
324. - Sam.
- Yeah?Copy !req
325. "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean"?
Is he christening a minesweeper?Copy !req
326. Columbia High School marching band
gets to play their song.Copy !req
327. We had to negotiate with the band?Copy !req
328. They'll be live on four networks.
They'll play what we want.Copy !req
329. - Bruno!
- Hey. How you doing?Copy !req
330. Whose throat do I shove these down,
whose skull do I crack with this sign?Copy !req
331. - "Bartlet for president."
- We'll get rid of them.Copy !req
332. I was there when he won. I saw him
get sworn in. I rode in the limo.Copy !req
333. Write me a speech, would you?Copy !req
334. One that doesn't make me think
I'm sitting shiva...Copy !req
335. black curtains on the mirrors.Copy !req
336. We'll use this as the greenroom.Copy !req
337. He can walk out the door
and up on stage.Copy !req
338. What's this room usually used for?Copy !req
339. I don't know. Desks, a blackboard.
Could be some kind of classroom.Copy !req
340. - C.J.
- Yeah?Copy !req
341. - What's going on?
- What do you mean?Copy !req
342. - Nothing.
- You sure?Copy !req
343. Yeah. What's going on with RU-486?Copy !req
344. Leo won't let me wave off the FDA.Copy !req
345. It's against the law.Copy !req
346. I'm not talking about sticking up
a fruit stand.Copy !req
347. It's a phone call. A favor from a friend.Copy !req
348. I know the chief of staff for
the subcommittee, I got him his job.Copy !req
349. You mean the FDA?Copy !req
350. This is the second time
this weekend I've done that.Copy !req
351. Hey, see this?Copy !req
352. This is why I didn't want
to do an announcement.Copy !req
353. - We're taking care of it.
- No, I'm taking care of it.Copy !req
354. I want to say for the 18th time that
we shouldn't do an announcement event.Copy !req
355. If he's gonna run for re-election,
he's gotta announce it.Copy !req
356. He did that two weeks ago.Copy !req
357. He's not gaining enough ground,
which means he's bleeding.Copy !req
358. If we put him up like any candidate,
we trade away our one big advantage.Copy !req
359. - What?
- He's the president already.Copy !req
360. Signing executive orders
and decorating the tree isn't gonna do it.Copy !req
361. Fellas, I'm getting old over here.
This subject was closed on Tuesday.Copy !req
362. He's gotta stand up, he's gotta declare,
and he's gotta apologize.Copy !req
363. - He won't apologize.
- Why?Copy !req
364. - For what?
- For your campaign perpetrating a fraud.Copy !req
365. I'm from Oregon. We like to see a man
say he's sorry. Where are you from?Copy !req
366. Me? I'm from the United States
of Suck My...Copy !req
367. All right.Copy !req
368. Let's take lunch.Copy !req
369. Republicans talk about
how arrogant you guys are.Copy !req
370. I thought it was the reaction
to not getting the girl.Copy !req
371. I can't believe how much
they low-balled it.Copy !req
372. Josh. Wait up.Copy !req
373. Let me walk you to your office.Copy !req
374. Sure.Copy !req
375. - You know, he had a point.
- Who?Copy !req
376. - Doug.
- That we're arrogant?Copy !req
377. I guess that means Doug won't be
coming to my sweet-16, then.Copy !req
378. - You sent them the press release?
- What press release?Copy !req
379. - Subcommittee. About tobacco.
- Yes.Copy !req
380. Well, that was stupid.Copy !req
381. - You think?
- I know.Copy !req
382. I got two years as legislative director
in the House...Copy !req
383. two years as Senate floor director...Copy !req
384. and 30 months as deputy chief
of staff, what do you got?Copy !req
385. Kalmbach's a fat-ass Rotarian gasbag.Copy !req
386. I knew once I sent it, he'd raise the
profile and give us the press we needed.Copy !req
387. Kalmbach is vulnerable in his home state.Copy !req
388. He's got an influx of tech and clean
industries along his Route 9 corridor...Copy !req
389. and the suburban voters with it,
parents who don't want kids smoking.Copy !req
390. We got the money, Bruno.Copy !req
391. You don't want the money,
you want the issue.Copy !req
392. You should've waited until fall when the
bell rings, then we hammer them with it.Copy !req
393. And Kalmbach, Ross, O'Rourke, Stevens,
whoever gets nominated...Copy !req
394. has it hanging around their necks,
they're nicotine pushers.Copy !req
395. Plus, you get the money.Copy !req
396. The sooner you get I know what
I'm talking about and I'm on your side...Copy !req
397. the sooner your world gets better.Copy !req
398. Of course you got the money.Copy !req
399. I'm amazed he didn't send it to you
with candy and a stripper.Copy !req
400. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio.Copy !req
401. Three swing states you could've
brought over with that.Copy !req
402. That's an election.Copy !req
403. You still get nervous talking to crowds?Copy !req
404. I've never been nervous talking in front
of big crowds. It's talking to one person.Copy !req
405. I didn't know she was gonna be here.Copy !req
406. - I didn't know you were gonna be here.
- I'm introducing you.Copy !req
407. - I thought Leyland was.
- C.J. thought it would be good...Copy !req
408. - Okay.
- I can tell them...Copy !req
409. - No, I think it's a good idea.
- Okay.Copy !req
410. You need to reach out to the staff.Copy !req
411. Once you do that, they'll feel better.Copy !req
412. And then so will you.Copy !req
413. I'm going back to the house.Copy !req
414. What are you reading?Copy !req
415. I don't know enough about agriculture.Copy !req
416. I wouldn't worry about it.
Agriculture isn't really your field.Copy !req
417. Agriculture is responsible for one in five
American jobs, so it is a bit my field.Copy !req
418. Fifteen percent of the world's cotton,
25 percent of the world's beef...Copy !req
419. and 50 percent of the world's
soybeans are grown in my field.Copy !req
420. Farmers pay taxes in my field,
their kids go to school in my field...Copy !req
421. they go to jail in my field. From time
to time, they go to war in my field.Copy !req
422. If I say,"It's not my field,"
I'm not saying something...Copy !req
423. I'm trying to learn so I can.Copy !req
424. - Why won't you talk to me?
- Why aren't you with me?Copy !req
425. - How do you know I'm not?
- You're not.Copy !req
426. - You're pissed at me?
- I'm trying to read here.Copy !req
427. You're pissed, I don't believe it.
I don't believe you.Copy !req
428. I don't believe you.Copy !req
429. You go from'I've got a lot to say"...Copy !req
430. to'I can't say it right now,
because I've got so much to say"...Copy !req
431. to'I gotta read about agriculture"
and'You're not with me and go to hell."Copy !req
432. That's an extraordinary evolution.Copy !req
433. Can I go a week without
explaining myself?Copy !req
434. You can go as long as you want without
explaining yourself, read your book.Copy !req
435. - Sit down, we'll talk about it now.
- I'm not in the mood, jackass.Copy !req
436. Is there any way to change your mind?
Because I really had my heart set on it.Copy !req
437. Go to hell.Copy !req
438. You feel all right?Copy !req
439. Yeah.Copy !req
440. C.J. wants her to introduce me?Copy !req
441. Yeah, I thought it was a good idea too.Copy !req
442. I wouldn't mind a little... . You know.Copy !req
443. There's gonna be a big crowd
here tomorrow.Copy !req
444. Well, that's your kind of crowd.Copy !req
445. - I need to finish the speech.
- Yeah.Copy !req
446. What are you doing?Copy !req
447. What are you doing?Copy !req
448. - I'm...
- Going over the transcript?Copy !req
449. He needs to apologize.Copy !req
450. - Don't worry about it.
- He lied.Copy !req
451. He didn't lie. It's what your people call
a'sin of omission."Copy !req
452. I'm not Catholic. It's what everybody
calls a sin of omission. Bartlet lied to us.Copy !req
453. President Bartlet, Sam, come on.Copy !req
454. Did you know many multiple sclerosis
advocates actually instruct victims...Copy !req
455. to hide the illness because
it's so misunderstood?Copy !req
456. You think they advise
presidential candidates to do that?Copy !req
457. I don't.Copy !req
458. - That night he told you...
- Yeah.Copy !req
459. - Didn't you feel like...?
- I went crazy.Copy !req
460. I whaled on him in the Oval Office.Copy !req
461. - None of us had the chance to do that.
- I know.Copy !req
462. We could've gotten it done.Copy !req
463. If he had just told us,
this would've been a different...Copy !req
464. Yeah.Copy !req
465. Go home.Copy !req
466. All right.Copy !req
467. Hey.Copy !req
468. - Hey.
- What are you doing?Copy !req
469. - Talking to myself.
- I'll join you.Copy !req
470. Feel free.Copy !req
471. I thought the speech was locked,
but they're at the house, arguing.Copy !req
472. It's not locked till
the president says so.Copy !req
473. I was out trying to find a Starbucks.Copy !req
474. A guy in a gas station said,"Around
here, people don't pay $4 for coffee."Copy !req
475. New Hampshire: Live Free or Cheap.Copy !req
476. Doug means well, you know,
and he's smart.Copy !req
477. It seems to me, your job is to wait
until Doug leaves the room, then say:Copy !req
478. "What Doug really meant was... ."Copy !req
479. How much do they pay you for that?Copy !req
480. Sometimes it's my job to say it
when he's in the room.Copy !req
481. Yeah.Copy !req
482. We're making a mistake
not including an apology.Copy !req
483. - Is this what you mean or Doug means?
- Both.Copy !req
484. - It's not gonna happen.
- Why not?Copy !req
485. Because Jed Bartlet's Jed Bartlet
and that's the way it goes.Copy !req
486. That's what you're saying and it
makes sense, but you know what?Copy !req
487. You want him to apologize
and not just for political reasons.Copy !req
488. I haven't really thought
that much about it.Copy !req
489. There's been a lot going on and I haven't
really thought much about it.Copy !req
490. You were with him at the beginning.Copy !req
491. You got him elected.
You work for Bartlet 18 hours a day.Copy !req
492. - You never felt...?
- Connie.Copy !req
493. Please, it's President Bartlet.Copy !req
494. Okay?Copy !req
495. Yeah.Copy !req
496. I should get back to the hotel.Copy !req
497. We have to mention values.Copy !req
498. If we don't, we're gonna spend
the next 15 months...Copy !req
499. trying to convince people
we did mention values.Copy !req
500. "My values are New Hampshire's values:
hard work and responsibility.Copy !req
501. Strong families and communities.Copy !req
502. Boundless faith in
an ideal of self-reliance.Copy !req
503. And poor people can go
screw themselves."Copy !req
504. My point is, for 30 years, Democrats
have been labeled tax-and-spend...Copy !req
505. as if they don't believe in getting up
and going to work.Copy !req
506. - That's why we have to say it.
- Then nobody's gonna understand it.Copy !req
507. Which is why I wanted to
cut the three paragraphs about...Copy !req
508. Do you want to solve problems...Copy !req
509. or are you helping us run for grand
marshal of the Rose Bowl Parade?Copy !req
510. - Look...
- I'm stretching my legs.Copy !req
511. Yeah?Copy !req
512. Okay.Copy !req
513. Is that something you run for?Copy !req
514. The Rose Bowl Parade.Copy !req
515. Don't you just get picked?Copy !req
516. I don't... .Copy !req
517. I don't know.Copy !req
518. You guys are so pissed at him
you don't even know it.Copy !req
519. You're more pissed at him
than the press is.Copy !req
520. You're more pissed at him
than the party is.Copy !req
521. You're so pissed at him,
you're pissed at me.Copy !req
522. If he hadn't lied, you could've run
the campaign you wanted to...Copy !req
523. instead of lots of people coming in and
teaching you how not to bother anybody.Copy !req
524. I never drank the Kool-Aid, Toby.
I came to win.Copy !req
525. And you're so pissed at him, you can't
even admit that for the last two weeks...Copy !req
526. you've gone to sleep at night
thanking God that I did.Copy !req
527. Yeah?Copy !req
528. Bruno just got off with Leo.Copy !req
529. The speech is locked.Copy !req
530. Whitley left in the first van.
He's there already.Copy !req
531. So somebody sit with The Boston Globe.Copy !req
532. Donna, where's Josh?Copy !req
533. I'll get him.Copy !req
534. Come in.Copy !req
535. - You're supposed to be downstairs.
- Yeah.Copy !req
536. - You're not ready?
- We're blowing this RU-486 thing.Copy !req
537. You gotta get in the shower.Copy !req
538. It'll look like we're starting the campaign
by pandering to women's groups.Copy !req
539. No question, most voters are pro-choice,
but the ones that aren't...Copy !req
540. are gonna devote their lives
and money to beating you.Copy !req
541. "Guns don't kill people, Bartlet does."Copy !req
542. It'll look like we screwed up the timing,
so the press will write about process...Copy !req
543. not issues, and getting political
reporters to write about issues...Copy !req
544. is like getting kids to eat vegetables.
- You gotta shave.Copy !req
545. Don't you wanna know
how it's like getting kid...?Copy !req
546. Shave and shower.Copy !req
547. It helps if there's nothing else
on their plate.Copy !req
548. - You couldn't sleep?
- I know I could stop this thing.Copy !req
549. One phone call.
The president's not even involved.Copy !req
550. "Could you do us a favor?
Could you hold off two weeks?Copy !req
551. We love your drug, but we don't
want it in our news cycle."Copy !req
552. - I could've picked up the phone... .
- Josh?Copy !req
553. God!Copy !req
554. What's this about?Copy !req
555. I blew the tobacco thing.Copy !req
556. That could've helped us. That was... .Copy !req
557. It's gonna be a very close election.Copy !req
558. I gotta take a shower.Copy !req
559. - Good morning.
- You can go on up.Copy !req
560. - Mr. President?
- Come in.Copy !req
561. - I was told you wanted to see me.
- Yeah.Copy !req
562. Don't be a marriage counselor,
it pisses me off, okay?Copy !req
563. - I'm sorry?
- You know what I'm talking about.Copy !req
564. That part of my life
doesn't belong to you.Copy !req
565. I simply put together what I thought
was the best event.Copy !req
566. - The first lady is an excellent speaker...
- All right. That's all.Copy !req
567. I think if you get a bump in the polls
after today's speech, as we expect...Copy !req
568. it'd be good for me to resign.Copy !req
569. Yeah?Copy !req
570. - To leave earlier would be strategically...
- Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
571. - The press is...
- That's nonsense to me and I don't care.Copy !req
572. For all the jobs we've created, single
mothers work two at minimum wage.Copy !req
573. There are school districts
where less than half graduate.Copy !req
574. And a kid born in Harlem is more likely
to go to prison than a four-year college.Copy !req
575. They're bringing guns to school!Copy !req
576. Don't you dare lecture me, sir,
don't you dare do it!Copy !req
577. I was never supposed to win.Copy !req
578. I got in it polling in the single digits.Copy !req
579. Hoynes had it locked up.Copy !req
580. I got in it to give some speeches
and keep him honest.Copy !req
581. Then you guys came along...Copy !req
582. and all of a sudden,
I got 22 percent in lowa and then...Copy !req
583. South Carolina and Michigan.
And then Illinois.Copy !req
584. It was a mistake benching you
for that last press conference.Copy !req
585. Excuse me. C.J., they need you.Copy !req
586. I need you too.Copy !req
587. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
588. Did you know that hardly any of
the guys who landed on the moon...Copy !req
589. are married to the same people they
were married to before they went there?Copy !req
590. What?Copy !req
591. I'm just saying it could be worse.
I could've been an astronaut.Copy !req
592. - You could not have been an astronaut.
- I'd have been a great astronaut.Copy !req
593. You're afraid of heights, speed, fire
and small places.Copy !req
594. I'd have overcome it to go to the moon.Copy !req
595. I know you would've.Copy !req
596. I'm really happy you're introducing me.
I'm really happy about that.Copy !req
597. There's something important
I have to say.Copy !req
598. Say it.Copy !req
599. I haven't really made up my mind yet...Copy !req
600. but at the moment...Copy !req
601. I'm leaning towards voting for you.Copy !req
602. "Fall victim to torpor and timidity."
Torpor...Copy !req
603. is not a word a lot of people know.Copy !req
604. - It means apathy.
- And dullness.Copy !req
605. - I know what it means.
- Doug means...Copy !req
606. - They know what I mean.
- Hi.Copy !req
607. If they don't know what it means...Copy !req
608. - What's the word?
- Torpor.Copy !req
609. - It means apathy.
- And dullness.Copy !req
610. I know what the word means. I'm saying
if people don't know what it means...Copy !req
611. - They can look it up.
- Good morning, Mr. President.Copy !req
612. It's not our job to appeal to the lowest
common denominator, we have to raise it.Copy !req
613. If you're gonna be the education president,
don't hide that you have an education.Copy !req
614. Bruno, would you mind?Copy !req
615. Churchill and F.D.R.Copy !req
616. Serious men using big words
for big purpose.Copy !req
617. It occurs to me I never said I'm sorry.Copy !req
618. I am.Copy !req
619. For the lawyers, for the press...Copy !req
620. for the mess, for the fear.Copy !req
621. Bruno, Doug, Connie, these guys are
good and they wanna win. So do we.Copy !req
622. The only thing we want more
is to be right.Copy !req
623. I wonder if you can't do both.Copy !req
624. There's a new book,
and we're gonna write it.Copy !req
625. You can win if you run a smart,
disciplined campaign...Copy !req
626. if you studiously say nothing...Copy !req
627. nothing that causes you trouble,
nothing that's a gaffe...Copy !req
628. nothing that shows you think a wrong
thing, nothing that shows you think...Copy !req
629. but it isn't worthy of us, is it, Toby?
- No, sir.Copy !req
630. It isn't worthy of us or America.
It isn't worthy of a great nation.Copy !req
631. We're gonna write a new book,
right here, right now...Copy !req
632. this very moment, today.Copy !req
633. Sir?Copy !req
634. It is my pleasure...Copy !req
635. and my great fortune...Copy !req
636. to introduce my husband...Copy !req
637. our friend...Copy !req
638. New Hampshire's greatest son...Copy !req
639. and the President of the United States,
Josiah Bartlet!Copy !req
640. You know what? Break's over.Copy !req
