1. - Previously on The West Wing:
- We need help.Copy !req
2. - I'm bringing in Bruno Gianelli.
- It's too early.Copy !req
3. - No.
- Sam and Josh aren't gonna like it.Copy !req
4. - They'll have to live with it.
- The only races I've ever lost...Copy !req
5. are ones where the candidate didn't
listen or advice didn't get through.Copy !req
6. - That won't happen this time.
- It seems your job is to wait...Copy !req
7. until Doug leaves the room and then
say,"What Doug really meant was... ."Copy !req
8. How much they pay you for that?Copy !req
9. Sometimes it's my job to say it
when he's in the room.Copy !req
10. - Mrs. Bartlet, I wanna talk to you...
- Dr. Bartlet.Copy !req
11. When did I stop being Dr. Bartlet?
When in the campaign...Copy !req
12. did I decide that women were gonna
like me more if I called myself'Mrs."?Copy !req
13. One day, I'll get called to the
Situation Room and it'll be good news.Copy !req
14. We'll have discovered
buried treasure.Copy !req
15. Or it turns out there's
life on Andromeda...Copy !req
16. and they think we're doing
a good job. When's that day coming?Copy !req
17. - When's that gonna happen?
- Settle down.Copy !req
18. - What do you need?
- The Pac Fleet commander...Copy !req
19. informed us he lost contact with the
USS Portland, a Seawolf class sub.Copy !req
20. - What were their orders?
- They were on a close-in.Copy !req
21. They were supposed to
report in yesterday at 1400.Copy !req
22. They were gonna surface
to periscope depth...Copy !req
23. and download deterrence
intelligence data.Copy !req
24. They've gone quiet,
they're a submarine.Copy !req
25. - Sure. Maybe.
- But?Copy !req
26. They usually call in
and say they're going quiet.Copy !req
27. - Other possibilities?
- They've lost power...Copy !req
28. and are drifting in hostile waters.
- What hostile waters?Copy !req
29. They're in the Yellow Sea, their last
location was 60 miles west of Seoul.Copy !req
30. We haven't heard from them
and they're in North Korea?Copy !req
31. What do we have ready if we need to
order a massive rescue mission?Copy !req
32. We put two DSRVs on alert
from Ballast Point, San Diego.Copy !req
33. Two C-141 Starlifters are on alert at
North Island, ready to get a rescue crew.Copy !req
34. They'll meet up with Seawolfs
stationed off Japan...Copy !req
35. each carrying 50 Tomahawks.
They practice for this all the time...Copy !req
36. but we shouldn't do it.
- Why not?Copy !req
37. - I think they've gone quiet.
- You said they usually call.Copy !req
38. - They usually do.
- I've gotta tell the president.Copy !req
39. He'll hit the panic button.
If the Portland went quiet...Copy !req
40. somebody's sitting on top of them.
They know what to do.Copy !req
41. I'll be back.Copy !req
42. - Their propellers aren't going.
- No.Copy !req
43. - They know I wanna leave now?
- Yes.Copy !req
44. - The propellers aren't going.
- Maybe they're saving fuel.Copy !req
45. That makes sense. Also, there's a
chance I can get hit getting on or off.Copy !req
46. - Excuse me?
- Sir?Copy !req
47. You think I'm not tall enough to get
hit by the propellers on Marine One?Copy !req
48. Dikembe Mutombo isn't tall enough
to get hit by the propellers.Copy !req
49. I duck when I get on that helicopter.
You should too. It's good safety sense.Copy !req
50. - Yes, sir.
- They know I wanna leave?Copy !req
51. - Yes, sir.
- Filing day, Charlie.Copy !req
52. Last to get on the ballot
in New Hampshire. I'm going myself.Copy !req
53. - I could send an aide.
- You're going yourself?Copy !req
54. - Always have, always will.
- There's nothing left to run for.Copy !req
55. Fair enough. Always have, never will.
But I'm going myself. You know why?Copy !req
56. - It's a statement about democracy?
- A profound statement about democracy.Copy !req
57. - Are you mocking me?
- No, sir.Copy !req
58. - That was a crack about my height before?
- No... Yeah, it was.Copy !req
59. - You all set to leave?
- I am. I'm going myself.Copy !req
60. It's a profound statement
about democracy.Copy !req
61. It's not a problem.
I'm up and back in two hours.Copy !req
62. It's great and I know
how much you love doing it.Copy !req
63. - It's one of my all-time favorite...
- You can't go.Copy !req
64. Why not?Copy !req
65. This is something that
sounds worse than it is...Copy !req
66. because of your inexperience
with the military.Copy !req
67. - What is it?
- Okay.Copy !req
68. The USS Portland is a Seawolf-class...Copy !req
69. or big nuclear submarine.
- Yeah.Copy !req
70. It has a crew of 137.Copy !req
71. It is loaded down with highly classified
intelligence gathering equipment.Copy !req
72. - It's in the waters off North Korea.
- Right.Copy !req
73. - We don't have it right now.
- What does'we don't have it" mean?Copy !req
74. Well, as you know, with our ships,
our boats and our submarines...Copy !req
75. we keep in pretty close touch
with radar, sonar...Copy !req
76. satellites, radio, encrypted messages.
And we don't have the Portland now.Copy !req
77. - We don't have it?
- We do not.Copy !req
78. - And they're in North Korea?
- Yes. Last we heard.Copy !req
79. So we're gonna set up meetings
in the next few hours.Copy !req
80. Plus, if anything happens,
I don't like people knowing...Copy !req
81. you were running for election
while the boat was out there.Copy !req
82. I think I'll go ahead
and cancel that trip...Copy !req
83. if only to stay and see how this
sounds worse than it really is.Copy !req
84. - I'll stick around too.
- I think you will.Copy !req
85. - Hey, I'm here.
- I'm glad.Copy !req
86. - What's this song about?
- This is'I'm Too Sexy."Copy !req
87. - For his shirt he's too sexy.
- Other things too.Copy !req
88. - He lists them.
- Well, I think he's feeling good.Copy !req
89. - I think he's feeling sexy.
- Too sexy.Copy !req
90. I think it's the kind of thing where
someone says,"This is just too good."Copy !req
91. - Hyperbole?
- Yeah.Copy !req
92. So it's not a problem? It's not a song
about somebody having a problem?Copy !req
93. No. He's feeling good,
that's why he's singing.Copy !req
94. - You see the wires?
- Not yet, is there anything?Copy !req
95. The majority leader was doing
news in Cleveland. They asked him...Copy !req
96. why he wants to be president.
- What did he say?Copy !req
97. - I really don't know.
- Wait a second.Copy !req
98. - He got the question and he...?
- It was a train wreck.Copy !req
99. - I recognized all the words...
- Get me the transcript.Copy !req
100. Ten-hut.Copy !req
101. Where's the submarine, Nancy?
I don't wanna hear'I don't know."Copy !req
102. I wanna hear how many people
are out there looking for it.Copy !req
103. - And I thought you were gonna panic.
- I happen to agree with the president...Copy !req
104. who on military matters is smarter...
- Shut up.Copy !req
105. - How long can the crew survive?
- We don't know what's going on.Copy !req
106. - Want the worst-case scenario?
- Yes.Copy !req
107. If they're flooding, it could be hours.Copy !req
108. How close are these guys to landfall?Copy !req
109. About 4000 yards off the
southern coast of Kaesong in Haeju Bay.Copy !req
110. Four thousand yards!
They get that close?Copy !req
111. Yes, they set a wiretap on a cable in
North Korea's coastal operations zone.Copy !req
112. - Four thousand yards?
- Yeah.Copy !req
113. Can they send a distress signal?Copy !req
114. They can, but they won't
if they think they'll be detected.Copy !req
115. They would wait to send a signal
and risk their lives?Copy !req
116. Mr. President, submariners understand
that if they sink...Copy !req
117. it won't be a rescue,
it'll be a recovery.Copy !req
118. They measure risk and rewards
not just in terms of their lives...Copy !req
119. but in terms of national interest.
- Well, that's great.Copy !req
120. I assess the national interest by
the number of people alive.Copy !req
121. You have four hours before I order
the Pacific Fleet into Haeju Bay.Copy !req
122. - Thank you, sir.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
123. We need to weigh in
with somebody at State.Copy !req
124. - I agree. Is Peter still recovering?
- Yes.Copy !req
125. All right, we'll talk to someone else,
someone we trust. Anybody but...Copy !req
126. - Albie Duncan.
- Anybody but him.Copy !req
127. No, I'm saying
it's gotta be Albie Duncan.Copy !req
128. - He knows what to say.
- So does Peter.Copy !req
129. - Peter's recovering from heart surgery.
- Was it serious heart surgery?Copy !req
130. We gotta meet with Albie.Copy !req
131. He's gonna scold me.Copy !req
132. He's been at the State Department
since Truman. He thinks I'm a kid...Copy !req
133. and that he outranks me.
- You'll be fine.Copy !req
134. I gotta tell him I lost a submarine.
Can I make something up like, say:Copy !req
135. - "What if my friend hypothetically...?"
- We'll meet with him when he's here.Copy !req
136. Bring a copy of the Constitution.
I wanna show him I'm not scared.Copy !req
137. - Morning.
- Can you devise a campaign strategy...Copy !req
138. that involves beating up Leo?
- Why not?Copy !req
139. Okay, let's get started.
Where's Toby?Copy !req
140. - He's in the...
- I don't care.Copy !req
141. These are direct-mail leaflets.Copy !req
142. "Hopelessly Liberal."Copy !req
143. "Super-Liberal."Copy !req
144. "Liberal, Liberal, Liberal."Copy !req
145. - These aren't coming from our side?
- No.Copy !req
146. - Wanna run an ad?
- The most dangerous time...Copy !req
147. in an incumbent's campaign
is before there is opposition.Copy !req
148. - The hearings are around the corner.
- There's a stealth war going on.Copy !req
149. - Leaflets, flyers, phone trees.
- How much is it gonna cost?Copy !req
150. One million five for this one.
But in the next three months...Copy !req
151. I'll need eight million
for new ads and air time.Copy !req
152. Work up an ad for 60 bucks
and a waffle and we'll talk.Copy !req
153. - Sam.
- We need the money in lowa in 9 weeks.Copy !req
154. If you don't spend now,
we'll have problems.Copy !req
155. - We don't know if there's a challenger.
- If there is, scare him.Copy !req
156. The best way to do that isn't
to keep the war chest intact?Copy !req
157. - You're talking about hard money.
- Yeah.Copy !req
158. I'm talking about hard money.
What are you talking about?Copy !req
159. - Excuse me.
- Listen, Toby...Copy !req
160. - What does $ 105 million mean to you?
- What?Copy !req
161. I just got tipped that the new budget
will include $ 105 million...Copy !req
162. for the National Park Service. I can't
remember what that number means.Copy !req
163. - I don't know.
- Anybody?Copy !req
164. - No.
- Give me a few minutes, I'll be back.Copy !req
165. Does $ 105 million
mean anything to you?Copy !req
166. - I'm a simple girl, Toby.
- Yes. Yes, you are.Copy !req
167. - Bonnie, 105 million?
- My answer hasn't changed.Copy !req
168. - Toby.
- C.J.Copy !req
169. - What in...?
- He got the question.Copy !req
170. The Majority leader, last night,
local news, Cleveland, Ohio.Copy !req
171. Cleveland, Ohio. He got the question.Copy !req
172. - Which?
- Why do you wanna be president?Copy !req
173. - What'd he say?
- "The reason I'd run, were I to run...Copy !req
174. is I have a great belief
in this country and in this people...Copy !req
175. that go into making this country
a nation with the greatest resources...Copy !req
176. and population of people,
educated people."Copy !req
177. I'll spread it around.Copy !req
178. C.J.?Copy !req
179. The new budget will have 105 million
for the National Park Service.Copy !req
180. - Does 105 million mean anything to you?
- No.Copy !req
181. But it's the same amount as the budget
for the National Endowment for the Arts.Copy !req
182. - Get me...
- I'll get her on the phone.Copy !req
183. - Why, Dr. Bartlet.
- Don't start with me, Oliver.Copy !req
184. - Start what?
- If you give me grief about my ankle...Copy !req
185. do it quickly, so we can
move on with this rectal probe.Copy !req
186. - Know why I call you doctor?
- I have a medical license?Copy !req
187. You have a medical license.
And when I look at you...Copy !req
188. I think about health.Copy !req
189. Goodness, what happened
to your ankle, Dr. Bartlet?Copy !req
190. - I broke it. Otherwise, I'd ram it up...
- How did you break it?Copy !req
191. It was in the newspapers,
I'm sure you read about it.Copy !req
192. - I read Le Monde. Was it in Le Monde?
- I don't know, I don't read Le Monde.Copy !req
193. - Pity.
- I was hiking, Oliver. I was hiking.Copy !req
194. - Are you that much an enemy of nature?
- Nature is to be protected from.Copy !req
195. Nature, like a woman,
will seduce you with its sights...Copy !req
196. and its scents and its touch...Copy !req
197. and then it breaks your ankle,
also like a woman.Copy !req
198. What the hell kind of dates
are you going on, Oliver?Copy !req
199. - I hear you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
200. Here's what you should do, and I'm
speaking to you as White House Counsel.Copy !req
201. Make a national address
encouraging women not to go hiking...Copy !req
202. or at least not ask me
to go with them.Copy !req
203. - Can we work?
- Jonathan Hawkings, Nina Alva...Copy !req
204. Maurice Blustein, Jessica Nording.
They mean anything?Copy !req
205. - Where did you get them?
- Democrats on Oversight.Copy !req
206. - They're on the witness list?
- Yes.Copy !req
207. Those are some of the patients involved
in malpractice suits against me.Copy !req
208. How many have there been altogether?Copy !req
209. Four were immediately dismissed
as nuisance suits.Copy !req
210. I went to court on two and won.
One was settled.Copy !req
211. - The life of a doctor.
- From this witness list...Copy !req
212. it is becoming clear what the
president's biggest liability will be.Copy !req
213. - What?
- You.Copy !req
214. - Tawny.
- Throne, by Rain Billings...Copy !req
215. a photographer from North Dakota
whose work consists of Polaroids...Copy !req
216. of his dysfunctional family
in the bathroom.Copy !req
217. One Horse-Two Horse,
by Marc Moloney.Copy !req
218. He calls himself an installation artist.
It's two big-screen TVs...Copy !req
219. side by side, one with footage
of stallions running in reverse...Copy !req
220. the other one showing The Godfather.
"Slut" is a one-word poem...Copy !req
221. by Jules Waltz.
It's stamped in scarlet...Copy !req
222. on a piece of 40-by-40 black canvas.Copy !req
223. Here's a woman who gets naked,
covers herself in chocolate...Copy !req
224. and sings. Does that appeal to you?
- I am not wild about musicals.Copy !req
225. They're all funded by Oakenwood during
his chairmanship of the Endowment.Copy !req
226. You're dissolving the Endowment
to give money to Parks?Copy !req
227. Hold the Lettuce. Lydia Benedict's
two bacon-cheeseburgers...Copy !req
228. were constructed from burlap
and rottweiler dung.Copy !req
229. It's not me,
it's the committee I work for.Copy !req
230. Look...Copy !req
231. - Excuse me. Hey, Tawny.
- Sam.Copy !req
232. - Have you heard of Andrew Hawkins?
- No.Copy !req
233. You funded his performance
where he destroyed...Copy !req
234. all his belongings outside
a Starbucks in Haight-Ashbury.Copy !req
235. I did that a couple times. I didn't know
there was funding available.Copy !req
236. - Can I talk to you a second?
- Yeah.Copy !req
237. - What's going on?
- Appropriations wants to eliminate NEA.Copy !req
238. - What's going on in there?
- He wants to run ads.Copy !req
239. - With what?
- Soft money.Copy !req
240. All right, I'll be in when I can.Copy !req
241. Oh, hey. You know what?
The NEA, that's 105 million.Copy !req
242. Yeah.Copy !req
243. Sam, did you hear?Copy !req
244. - The majority leader got the question.
- And?Copy !req
245. - Get me the transcript.
- We've got an answer, right?Copy !req
246. - To what?
- If asked why he wants to be president.Copy !req
247. I'm sure we do.
I've gotta get back in there.Copy !req
248. Arlene Neiderlander.Copy !req
249. The wife of a patient upon whom I
performed a coronary artery bypass graft.Copy !req
250. She filed a wrongful-death suit,
claiming he died...Copy !req
251. as a result of complications
due to surgery.Copy !req
252. - Did he?
- He developed an infection...Copy !req
253. like two percent of CABG surgeries,
in his case, mediastinitis.Copy !req
254. He was 74, diabetic,
and the infection spread to his liver.Copy !req
255. New York Superior Court Judge Nguyen
dismissed the case.Copy !req
256. Oliver, draw a line for me
from the malpractice suits...Copy !req
257. to the Committee's investigation
of the president.Copy !req
258. It's an investigation of you too, Abbey.Copy !req
259. You had prescriptions filled in your
name, which you gave to the president.Copy !req
260. - But that in itself?
- Hang on.Copy !req
261. You're not a medical expert,
you didn't keep records...Copy !req
262. you violated medical practices
in three states.Copy !req
263. And most important, you're his wife...Copy !req
264. which is a violation
of the AMA's ethics code.Copy !req
265. How is this the purview of House
Government Reform and Oversight?Copy !req
266. It's not.Copy !req
267. They don't have a criminal case
against the president, do they?Copy !req
268. - No.
- But they can develop one against me.Copy !req
269. - Yeah.
- And in going after me...Copy !req
270. they can paint the president.Copy !req
271. - Sure.
- Distract him from governing.Copy !req
272. Distract the public's attention
from the campaign.Copy !req
273. Yeah.Copy !req
274. It was an infection.Copy !req
275. It was a liver infection.Copy !req
276. - Should we keep going?
- Yeah.Copy !req
277. - You know what we're talking about?
- Sure.Copy !req
278. Do you know what we're talking about?
I wanna make sure Connie knows.Copy !req
279. I know what we're talking about.
Sam?Copy !req
280. - You know what we're talking about?
- We're talking about unlimited...Copy !req
281. unregulated money that can be
raised in staggering amounts.Copy !req
282. It's not like there's a law that
envisioned soft money. No law bans it.Copy !req
283. It's a loophole so big you could
race the America's Cup through it.Copy !req
284. How can he oppose it
one year and take it the next?Copy !req
285. Where will he be on
campaign-finance reform tomorrow?Copy !req
286. Exactly where he is today.
Leading the charge against it.Copy !req
287. In the meantime, Congress and the FEC
have been sitting on their hands.Copy !req
288. Is that our fault? No. Now Bartlet
should obey a law that doesn't exist?Copy !req
289. What's next, imaginary street signs?Copy !req
290. Excuse me,
but there's such a thing as... .Copy !req
291. - What?
- There's such a thing as... .Copy !req
292. What?Copy !req
293. Okay, we're gonna
sit quietly for a moment.Copy !req
294. Okay.Copy !req
295. Leadership by example. There's
such a thing as leadership by example.Copy !req
296. It comes right before
getting your ass kicked in an election.Copy !req
297. We're really talking about this, huh?Copy !req
298. - Toby's gonna be in in a minute.
- Every single election.Copy !req
299. Yes.Copy !req
300. - Legislature, House, governor.
- Yeah.Copy !req
301. - President.
- It's a statement about democracy.Copy !req
302. I've heard it before, I was just...Copy !req
303. - Is he here?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
304. It's a profound statement
about democracy.Copy !req
305. - Mr. President.
- Good morning, Albie.Copy !req
306. - Good morning. Hello, Leo.
- Good to see you, Albie.Copy !req
307. Can I get you anything?
Some coffee? A soft drink?Copy !req
308. - No, sir.
- Okay. Okay.Copy !req
309. I've asked you here because you
are the Assistant Secretary of State...Copy !req
310. and I am the president.
- What have you done?Copy !req
311. - You see, right away.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
312. The Pac Fleet commander has informed
us we've lost contact with the Portland.Copy !req
313. The Portland's a Seawolf class?
Where is it?Copy !req
314. - Lake George.
- Somewhere in Haeju Bay.Copy !req
315. You've lost a nuclear submarine
in North Korea, Mr. President.Copy !req
316. Thanks, Albie. That much the National
Security Council has made clear to me.Copy !req
317. - Any chance they've gone quiet?
- Nancy thinks there is.Copy !req
318. - I'm assuming they didn't radio.
- No.Copy !req
319. If they were in trouble,
they wouldn't send a distress signal...Copy !req
320. because they might be detected and
submariners have different criteria...Copy !req
321. when assessing risk versus reward.Copy !req
322. He knows.Copy !req
323. - Okay, I'll just stand over there.
- Where are we?Copy !req
324. The president wants to give four hours
before a rescue. We're an hour into it.Copy !req
325. - All the pieces in place?
- Yeah.Copy !req
326. - Who do we talk to in the meantime?
- Nobody.Copy !req
327. You sure? We don't talk
to the North Koreans?Copy !req
328. And tell them what?
You've got casus belli?Copy !req
329. Cause for war.
Little thing called Latin.Copy !req
330. If we tell North Korea we've violated
their waters, it could be interpreted...Copy !req
331. as an act of war?
- It is an act of war.Copy !req
332. - We'll tell them it's not.
- It is.Copy !req
333. You violated international law.Copy !req
334. You've taken provocative action. At best
you'd create a crisis atmosphere...Copy !req
335. and North Korea's got the
fourth largest army in the world.Copy !req
336. 1968, the USS Pueblo...Copy !req
337. was on an intelligence mission
off the DPRK.Copy !req
338. North Korea attacks
with vessels and a MiG jet.Copy !req
339. The 82 surviving crew are captured.Copy !req
340. They're held and tortured
for 11 months...Copy !req
341. until we issue an apology
for the grave acts...Copy !req
342. of espionage committed
by the U.S. ship.Copy !req
343. - I was there.
- Okay.Copy !req
344. - Can I talk to you alone for a second?
- Yeah.Copy !req
345. - Let's not call North Korea just yet.
- No.Copy !req
346. Leo, gut feeling.
Has the boat gone quiet?Copy !req
347. Yeah.Copy !req
348. Trust the captain, trust the crew.Copy !req
349. All right. Three more hours.Copy !req
350. I think Albie should stay.Copy !req
351. He can talk us through some things.Copy !req
352. If we need to start
making calls he'll be helpful.Copy !req
353. Also, he'll be good to have around for
morale because he's Mr. Happy Fun Guy.Copy !req
354. - Look...
- I'm gonna ask you to stay for a while.Copy !req
355. Well, then, I'll take that
soft drink now...Copy !req
356. if you've got it, Mr. President.Copy !req
357. Just a little Schweppes
Bitter Lemon on ice with a twist.Copy !req
358. Charlie!Copy !req
359. - Yes, sir.
- Could you have someone bring some...Copy !req
360. Schweppes Bitter Lemon and a copy of
the constitutional order of succession?Copy !req
361. Yes, sir.Copy !req
362. New paragraph: As always, your
thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.Copy !req
363. Also appreciated was the
visit to the White House...Copy !req
364. by some 50 of your constituents
on board a bus...Copy !req
365. that was chartered by your office.Copy !req
366. Their complaints were respectfully
heard by my assistant...Copy !req
367. and I regret that matters
escalated to the point...Copy !req
368. where she felt it necessary
to call in the Park Police.Copy !req
369. You'll be happy to know
that their bus has been refueled...Copy !req
370. and the seniors
are on their way home...Copy !req
371. each having been allowed to keep
their security tags as a souvenir.Copy !req
372. - Look...
- Signed. Do it.Copy !req
373. - Hey.
- You got a second?Copy !req
374. Type that.Copy !req
375. - I was just...
- Type it.Copy !req
376. - May I use your computer?
- What's wrong with yours?Copy !req
377. One of them poured Wheatena
on the keyboard.Copy !req
378. Go ahead.Copy !req
379. We had a little problem earlier.
What's up?Copy !req
380. The majority leader
got the question last night.Copy !req
381. And just kept on digging.Copy !req
382. "We have the greatest technology
of any country in the world...Copy !req
383. along with the greatest, not the
greatest, but very serious problems...Copy !req
384. confronting our people,
and I want to be president...Copy !req
385. in order to focus on these problems
in a way that uses...Copy !req
386. the energy of our people
to move us forward, basically."Copy !req
387. - Yes.
- It's the'basically" that makes it art.Copy !req
388. The best thing we can do is step back.
We can't be seen to be gloating.Copy !req
389. Yeah, we do that
when nobody's looking.Copy !req
390. - Anything else?
- No.Copy !req
391. - They poured Wheatena on her keyboard.
- Listen...Copy !req
392. how good is our answer?Copy !req
393. - It's good.
- Really?Copy !req
394. What is it?Copy !req
395. Do we have one?
I'm sure we have one.Copy !req
396. - Will you check? Will you check today?
- Yeah.Copy !req
397. - Thank you.
- Okay.Copy !req
398. No, the problem is that Oakenwood
thinks that the mission of the NEA...Copy !req
399. is to subsidize artists
in this country.Copy !req
400. The mission of the NEA is to
subsidize artists in this country.Copy !req
401. - Then that's the problem.
- In fact, it's to subsidize art.Copy !req
402. Go ahead and explain
that distinction in Topeka.Copy !req
403. They're bright. No artists you
mentioned received direct money...Copy !req
404. from the Endowments because the last
time Republicans tried losing the NEA...Copy !req
405. not three times ago, but last time,
we got rid of the individual grants.Copy !req
406. And Oakenwood found
a back door by giving money...Copy !req
407. directly to the museums
that put on...Copy !req
408. Toby, do you like this stuff?Copy !req
409. You'd need the Budweiser Clydesdales
to drag me to Picasso and Monet.Copy !req
410. I'm not the guy you want deciding this.
You're not the guy I want deciding this.Copy !req
411. I don't know where you get the idea
taxpayers shouldn't have to pay...Copy !req
412. for anything of which
they disapprove.Copy !req
413. Lots of them don't like tanks.Copy !req
414. Even more don't like Congress.Copy !req
415. - Hi.
- Lisa Mulberry, 28...Copy !req
416. specializes in placing genitalia
in anatomically incorrect...Copy !req
417. - Excuse us.
- Sure.Copy !req
418. Look, we can't spend soft money
on a primary ad anyway, so...Copy !req
419. - No, he's passing the magic-words test.
- What test?Copy !req
420. U.S. Supreme Court,
Buckley v. Valeo.Copy !req
421. The Court created a loophole
by ruling that campaign-finance laws...Copy !req
422. only apply to communications
that in express terms...Copy !req
423. advocate the election or defeat
of a candidate...Copy !req
424. for Federal office.Copy !req
425. If you don't put'Vote Bartlet"
in the ad...Copy !req
426. you can pay for it with unmarked
bills from a bank heist if you want to.Copy !req
427. There's also Footnote 52, where the
Court said campaign-finance laws...Copy !req
428. only apply to communications with the
terms'vote for,"elect,"support"...Copy !req
429. "cast your ballot for,"vote
against,"defeat,"reject." That's it.Copy !req
430. I'm savant-like.Copy !req
431. - If it doesn't use those specific words?
- It is an issue ad.Copy !req
432. You know what they say
about money in politics.Copy !req
433. - It's like water on pavement.
- Why?Copy !req
434. - That's a good...
- It finds every crack and crevice.Copy !req
435. The standard should be,"Does the ad
try to influence the outcome?Copy !req
436. - If so, you can't use soft money."
- Well, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Sam.Copy !req
437. - Excuse me?
- That isn't what the standard is.Copy !req
438. Now, I think we should run in the
same election as everybody else.Copy !req
439. Toby?Copy !req
440. I've gotta go back in there.Copy !req
441. When I come back, show me an ad
without the magic words.Copy !req
442. - Francis Pendleton.
- Frank.Copy !req
443. - This was the case you settled?
- Yeah.Copy !req
444. $58,000 payout from SVM Mutual.Copy !req
445. - Why wasn't that out in the campaign?
- Confidentiality clause.Copy !req
446. No one would know that figure unless
they subpoenaed the Pendleton papers.Copy !req
447. They did.Copy !req
448. - You performed an atrioventricular...
- Is there a deal to be made?Copy !req
449. Is there?Copy !req
450. Oliver, I raise my right hand, they're
halfway to where they wanna be.Copy !req
451. - Is there a deal?
- Can't guarantee they'll be interested.Copy !req
452. - But they might be.
- If putting you on the stand is too risky.Copy !req
453. Why would it be a risk for them?Copy !req
454. You know the story of the man who
breaks into the pharmacy for medicine.Copy !req
455. A life is saved, a window's broken.Copy !req
456. Right.Copy !req
457. - And I get to pay to have it fixed.
- So they might be interested.Copy !req
458. - What would they want?
- At best?Copy !req
459. Start with at worst.Copy !req
460. - At worst?
- Yeah.Copy !req
461. Suspended jail sentence
of three to five years.Copy !req
462. What's the one right above that?Copy !req
463. USS Glomar, top-secret debacle.Copy !req
464. Project Jennifer.Copy !req
465. Glomar goes after Clementine,
the sunken Russian Golf.Copy !req
466. Six feet a minute, that's how fast
we pulled her up.Copy !req
467. Then, all of a sudden:
Her claw breaks in two.Copy !req
468. The Golf dangles loose, one sub
from another, steel ripping off.Copy !req
469. Everything we needed,
including its nuclear missile...Copy !req
470. its transmitters,
its code books, everything, gone.Copy !req
471. The USS Gudgeon, 1957.Copy !req
472. Eight Soviet ships caught her,
kept her cornered for four days.Copy !req
473. The oxygen depletion,
migraines, fainting.Copy !req
474. You couldn't cook.
You couldn't light a cigarette.Copy !req
475. - They smoke in subs?
- They used to.Copy !req
476. The Oklahoma...Copy !req
477. the Hornet,
the Lexington, a CV-2...Copy !req
478. the USS Wasp.Copy !req
479. The Wasp was a CV-7
out in the Solomon Islands... .Copy !req
480. God, I'm sorry. Am I still here?Copy !req
481. You lost your boat in the
wrong part of the world.Copy !req
482. I haven't lost the boat yet,
Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
483. I'm the only one who thinks we should
send the fast-attack subs right now.Copy !req
484. And I'm an hour away from gathering
the NSC and calling Japan.Copy !req
485. I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.Copy !req
486. I say you lost your boat
in the wrong part of the world.Copy !req
487. - Albie...
- It was a UN action, Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
488. Sixteen countries were involved
in that police action, Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
489. Thirty-three, 34,000 American dead.Copy !req
490. How come we're the only ones still
fighting? Where did everybody go?Copy !req
491. Well, Colombia's fighting a drug war.
Ethiopia's trying to feed itself.Copy !req
492. Belgium and the Netherlands,
they have cheese and chocolate to make.Copy !req
493. - Sir? Josh.
- Send him in.Copy !req
494. - Good afternoon, sir.
- Hey, Josh.Copy !req
495. - Joshua.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
496. - Anything going on I should know about?
- We're just catching up.Copy !req
497. - This can wait for another time.
- Give it to me. I want a distraction.Copy !req
498. - No, it's all right.
- Give it to me.Copy !req
499. - It's campaign related.
- That's okay.Copy !req
500. Well, the majority leader
got the question last night.Copy !req
501. - He tanked.
- We're putting together...Copy !req
502. an answer for when you get it.
- The question?Copy !req
503. - Why do you wanna be president?
- I don't.Copy !req
504. Well, we'll put that in the hopper
and show you a draft.Copy !req
505. - Good.
- Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
506. Leo?Copy !req
507. Fifty-five minutes.Copy !req
508. This is a time of dizzying change
and progress around the world.Copy !req
509. I'm running for re-election because
I wanna make sure...Copy !req
510. that all our people can share
in 21 st-century jobs...Copy !req
511. Jobs and industries
we can't even imagine today...Copy !req
512. bring the benefits of new medical
advancements to all our families...Copy !req
513. And harness new technology
and the Internet...Copy !req
514. as a force
for faster economic growth...Copy !req
515. Better education and a freer exchange
of ideas around the world.Copy !req
516. - There it is.
- That's fine.Copy !req
517. - You wanna say something?
- No.Copy !req
518. I thought it was...Copy !req
519. It's got crisp, commanding phrases.Copy !req
520. It's got active verbs like'harness."
It paints a picture of the future.Copy !req
521. Someone wants to be president for
medical research and the Internet?Copy !req
522. - She's got a point.
- Sometimes you get your face on a coin.Copy !req
523. Okay, this shouldn't be hard.Copy !req
524. You should charge money for this.
Sell tickets...Copy !req
525. and charge money and call it
"Journey Back to Germany"...Copy !req
526. where in 1937 they held a show
of degenerate art...Copy !req
527. vilifying art they deemed sick,
art featuring mockery of the divine...Copy !req
528. art that wasted the taxes
of the German working people.Copy !req
529. Well, how much do you think
we could get?Copy !req
530. - Look...
- I think it's in incredibly bad taste...Copy !req
531. to equate the U.S. Congress
with the Nazis.Copy !req
532. Me too. In Europe and Japan they're
spending between 1.5 and 3 billion...Copy !req
533. on the arts. Congress thinks
105 million is indulgent?Copy !req
534. - Yes.
- There is a connection...Copy !req
535. between the progress
of a society and progress in the arts.Copy !req
536. The age of Pericles
was also the age of Phidias.Copy !req
537. The age of Lorenzo de' Medici
was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci.Copy !req
538. The age of Elizabeth
was the age of Shakespeare.Copy !req
539. Ain't none of these guys
da Vinci or Shakespeare.Copy !req
540. Says you.Copy !req
541. Let's wait till November,
see how many voters agree with me.Copy !req
542. National Parks?Copy !req
543. National Park security.Copy !req
544. Security?Copy !req
545. - Yeah.
- Really?Copy !req
546. Yeah.Copy !req
547. The parks are safe, Tawny.
We spend a lot of money on that.Copy !req
548. They could be safer.Copy !req
549. And the money for that
could come from someplace else.Copy !req
550. - Like where?
- Like...Copy !req
551. New taxes?Copy !req
552. Yeah.Copy !req
553. What do you want?Copy !req
554. Get rid of Oakenwood.Copy !req
555. We'll find the money someplace else.Copy !req
556. Get rid of Oakenwood?Copy !req
557. Yeah.Copy !req
558. What if I agree to a suspension
of my license?Copy !req
559. I agree to a suspension of my license
for the length of Jed's term.Copy !req
560. If he serves a second term,
it includes those years too.Copy !req
561. - All three states?
- New Hampshire, Missouri and Arizona.Copy !req
562. I pay a fine. I pay a fine...Copy !req
563. and the violation is recorded
in the Practitioners Databank.Copy !req
564. I resign from boards and organizations.
That gives them a win, right?Copy !req
565. - Yeah.
- So, what do you think?Copy !req
566. You're not my client. It's not my job
to protect your medical license.Copy !req
567. - What do you think?
- I think it's good.Copy !req
568. Any White House Counsel
would think that.Copy !req
569. Will you help me
convince the president?Copy !req
570. - It stinks.
- You just said it was good.Copy !req
571. - It stinks.
- In a good way?Copy !req
572. You broke some laws.
You should be ashamed of yourself...Copy !req
573. but this investigation
isn't about that.Copy !req
574. It's about the criminalization of politics.Copy !req
575. An attempt to do what they
couldn't do at the ballot box.Copy !req
576. - But we don't have the luxury...
- Stop eating fruits and vegetables.Copy !req
577. It's doing something bad to you.Copy !req
578. Fruits and vegetables will seduce you
like a woman with...Copy !req
579. Truth isn't a luxury. You're gonna
go in there, you're gonna swear an oath.Copy !req
580. You're gonna get asked questions
and tell the truth.Copy !req
581. It's the way you stand up
and say,"Stop."Copy !req
582. You should be careful, Oliver.Copy !req
583. You keep talking like a person,
they'll kick you out of the bar.Copy !req
584. I've been kicked out of bars before.Copy !req
585. - I meant...
- I know what you meant.Copy !req
586. Instead of'Jed Bartlet's fighting
to rebuild crumbling schools"...Copy !req
587. we'll make it,"We're fighting
to rebuild crumbling schools."Copy !req
588. And we've got a picture
of the president on the screen.Copy !req
589. Yeah, and we change
"Vote Bartlet for America"...Copy !req
590. to'Paid for by
Democrats for America."Copy !req
591. - You changed five words.
- Magic words.Copy !req
592. - They're not magic.
- It's illusion.Copy !req
593. - It's a scam.
- Yeah.Copy !req
594. - Where are we?
- Bruno and Connie...Copy !req
595. have fought their way out of
our campaign-finance laws.Copy !req
596. - It's an issue ad.
- It's a candidate ad with words changed.Copy !req
597. - Magic words.
- Connie.Copy !req
598. I don't know any other way
to fight fire, Toby.Copy !req
599. Why are you bent on
countering these leaflets?Copy !req
600. Because I am tired
of working for candidates...Copy !req
601. who make me think I should be
embarrassed to believe what I believe.Copy !req
602. I'm tired of getting them elected.Copy !req
603. We need therapy because somebody
came along and said liberal means...Copy !req
604. soft on crime, soft on drugs,
soft on Communism...Copy !req
605. soft on defense. And we're gonna
tax you back to the Stone Age...Copy !req
606. because people shouldn't have to
go to work if they don't want to.Copy !req
607. And instead of saying,"Well, excuse me,
you right-wing, reactionary...Copy !req
608. xenophobic, homophobic,
anti-education, anti-choice...Copy !req
609. pro-gun, Leave it to Beaver
trip back to the '50s"...Copy !req
610. we cowered in the corner and said:Copy !req
611. "Please, don't hurt me."Copy !req
612. No more.Copy !req
613. I really don't care who's right,
who's wrong.Copy !req
614. We're both right. We're both wrong.Copy !req
615. Let's have two parties, huh?
What do you say?Copy !req
616. I agree.Copy !req
617. - Toby...
- Let's stick to the spirit of the law.Copy !req
618. The spirit of the law
means no soft money.Copy !req
619. I'm saying let's do an issue ad,
an actual issue ad.Copy !req
620. Let's do a bunch.
Health care, equal opportunity.Copy !req
621. School construction.Copy !req
622. Anyone think raising awareness
of crumbling schools won't help us?Copy !req
623. There's actually
a reasonable point here.Copy !req
624. New polls see Republicans as better
on education with no basis for it.Copy !req
625. The ad could spark a debate
on the issue, which would help.Copy !req
626. And we take a parallel path
in our free media.Copy !req
627. Across America our schools
are crumbling.Copy !req
628. Holes in the walls, kids packed
into trailers like sardines in a can.Copy !req
629. Half of America's schools
are in disrepair.Copy !req
630. And when schools fall down,
so do test scores.Copy !req
631. - This isn't bad, I like this.
- Yes.Copy !req
632. - Why am I nervous?
- It's not amoral.Copy !req
633. Yeah.Copy !req
634. Okay.Copy !req
635. Across America
schools are crumbling.Copy !req
636. sweeping Wonsan Harbor
near Sindo Island...Copy !req
637. turned to starboard,
hit a mine. Sank.Copy !req
638. The USS Gurke, the St. Paul...Copy !req
639. the Irwin, a DD-794...Copy !req
640. the John W. Morrison,
which took 150 rounds...Copy !req
641. of 107 mm air bursts
from a shore battery at Hodo Pando.Copy !req
642. - 1953, the Manchester...
- Okay.Copy !req
643. - I beg your pardon?
- It's time.Copy !req
644. - You still got 10 minutes by my watch.
- Yeah, we're going now.Copy !req
645. - You contact Pac Fleet?
- Pac Fleet contacts Ballast Point.Copy !req
646. - In San Diego, right?
- Yes. We've got a C-141 Starlifter...Copy !req
647. at North Island.
It'll transport the DSRVs.Copy !req
648. - What do they do?
- They'll dock with Whiskey-Three.Copy !req
649. - Whiskey-Three?
- It's Portland's code name.Copy !req
650. Rescue team blows out
the docking collar...Copy !req
651. and survivors will exit
in groups of 24.Copy !req
652. How many trips will it take?Copy !req
653. - Six trips to offload them all.
- What about injured?Copy !req
654. There will be a medical team. Seriously
injured will be medevaced to Tokyo.Copy !req
655. - Let's go get them. Time's up.
- We have Whiskey-Three-Charlie...Copy !req
656. on sat high com.
- What does that mean?Copy !req
657. - The Portland is on satellite.
- What does that mean?Copy !req
658. - We have them.
- Whiskey-Three-Charlie...Copy !req
659. this is Pac Fleet,
report your whiskey, over.Copy !req
660. Whiskey-Three-Charlie, whiskey is
36. 6 degrees north by 110 west.Copy !req
661. Went quiet to avoid close aboard
contact with Luda-class destroyer.Copy !req
662. Mechanical situation's at full op.Copy !req
663. Whiskey-Three-Charlie, this is
Pac Fleet. Roger all. Happy hunting.Copy !req
664. All right.Copy !req
665. Okay.Copy !req
666. There they are.
See, they went deep and quiet...Copy !req
667. to avoid a close aboard
with a Luda-class destroyer.Copy !req
668. What you gotta do in these
situations is, you trust the captain...Copy !req
669. you trust the crew.Copy !req
670. Yes, sir.Copy !req
671. - Hey.
- Good afternoon, sir.Copy !req
672. - It got filed?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
673. - It got filed?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
674. - So I'm on the ballot in New Hampshire?
- Yeah.Copy !req
675. Okay.Copy !req
676. When Romans ran
for the office of consul...Copy !req
677. - Did I just see you roll your eyes?
- No, sir.Copy !req
678. They wore whitened togas to show
their intent. A bit silly, perhaps.Copy !req
679. - Perhaps.
- It was an act of personal commission.Copy !req
680. I know how much you like to think
of yourself as a man of the people...Copy !req
681. Roman references and all...Copy !req
682. but you're the only one who can
launch our nuclear weapons.Copy !req
683. You travel in a
fully secured perimeter.Copy !req
684. You rescue submarines.Copy !req
685. Maybe it's time for it to be okay
that an aide delivers a piece of paper.Copy !req
686. You're pretty mouthy today.Copy !req
687. C.J. 's waiting inside, sir.Copy !req
688. - Hey.
