Margaret, I need a copy of
the Western Water Program.Copy !req
75. And I had a blue binder
marked "EPA."Copy !req

Oh, God.Copy !req
77. Oh, God.
Oh...Copy !req
78. How about this one?Copy !req

81. Vodka with cranberry.Copy !req
82. You're supposed to tell me
when you're outCopy !req

to the dry cleaners.Copy !req

not my wife.Copy !req
85. It'll be much less noticeable

87. Interior's released the draftCopy !req

summary, today's the day.Copy !req
97. I thought it already
went to the floor.Copy !req
98. Almost.
Josh was handling it.Copy !req
99. We lost some momentum
when he stepped out.Copy !req
100. Chronic problem, that.Copy !req
101. Did Josh drop it or did
he give it to somebody or...?Copy !req
102. Oh! God.Copy !req
103. Hmm?Copy !req
104. Nothing. Hi... Hi.Copy !req
105. Is this a good time?Copy !req
106. Yes. Annabeth's here to discuss
the DNC Gala tonight.Copy !req
107. And we're delighted to have you.
Thank you.Copy !req
108. Every Democratic contender
will be in town for this event—Copy !req
109. including all their staffers.Copy !req
110. They're all gonna want
a piece of you.Copy !req
111. So if I see one coming I,
what, duck under a table?Copy !req
112. Over the top,
but we're in the right area.Copy !req
113. I'm not avoiding my former
Deputy Chief of Staff.Copy !req
114. He's going to ask you for a
favor, you're going to say noCopy !req
115. and then you're going
to feel bad.Copy !req
116. No favor, just small talk.Copy !req
117. Could you give
me that, C.J.?Copy !req
118. Every sitting president
goes through this.Copy !req
119. It's a time-honored annoyance,
sir.Copy !req
120. Let's just navigate through it
as gracefully as possible.Copy !req
121. Thank you all.Copy !req
122. Toby?Copy !req
123. Yes, sir.Copy !req
124. I believe this is yours.Copy !req
125. You doing okay?Copy !req
126. Yes, sir, thank you.Copy !req
127. My sister-in-law
was very moved by the letter.Copy !req
128. She wanted me to tell you
how much she appreciated it.Copy !req
129. You should take as
much time as you need.Copy !req
130. I prefer to be back at work.
Thank you, sir.Copy !req
131. You're not gonna
tell me what happened?Copy !req
132. I cut myself shaving.Copy !req
133. Hmm. With a machete?Copy !req
134. Very few people guess that,
but it is, in fact, the case.Copy !req
135. You should get
a Band-Aid...Copy !req
136. some ointment.Copy !req
137. I'll look into that.Copy !req
138. Never call a woman and say "we
have to talk." It's not nice.Copy !req
139. Duly noted.Copy !req
140. You don't smoke, do you?Copy !req
141. Me? No. The occasional cigar.
Not cigarettes.Copy !req
142. Yeah. Me neither.Copy !req
143. You sell cigarettes here?Copy !req
144. This lack of Josh
is becoming a problem.Copy !req
145. You thinking about
a replacement?Copy !req
146. I've been working under the
assumption we'd get him back.Copy !req
147. Never thought Santos was going
to hang on this long.Copy !req
148. 19% percent in New Hampshire;
maybe he's a contender?Copy !req
149. The Water Program.
Yes.Copy !req
150. We're trying to sort
out a three-way warCopy !req
151. between cities,
farmers, and environmentalistsCopy !req
152. all trying to get their hands onCopy !req
153. every last drop
of the Colorado River.Copy !req
154. There's less to go around
than everybody thought.Copy !req
155. I've got lobbyists from each
of the three groupsCopy !req
156. coming in today.
What time?Copy !req
157. 10:00's the first—
Urban Development Lobby.Copy !req
158. Who's their guy?
Cliff Calley.Copy !req
159. No wonder you want
flank support.Copy !req
160. Annabeth, try not to
worry too much about
the DNC thing tonight.Copy !req
161. Russell's going to win
the nomination.Copy !req
162. The President's going
to endorse him.Copy !req
163. A photo at the gala's not
going to tip the balance.Copy !req
164. The President's not quietly
plugging for someone else?Copy !req
165. He really isn't.Copy !req
166. Greg Brock thinks he is.Copy !req
167. He came in this morningCopy !req
168. and he didn't sound like
a man with a hunch.Copy !req
169. Give him a call, tell him
the Principal wants to see him.Copy !req
170. Uh, Diplomatic mission to Mali.Copy !req
171. Bali?
Mali, with an M.Copy !req
172. Not Bali with a high?
No.Copy !req
173. I thought
maybe you had a cold.Copy !req
174. Margaret, cancel my lunch.Copy !req
175. What happened to your boob?Copy !req
176. Really?Copy !req
177. Chairman of Foreign Ops is
holding a planning sessionCopy !req
178. for the diplomatic
mission to Mali.Copy !req
179. I'll be there, but it'd be great
to have somebody from your end.Copy !req
180. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
181. No, come in.
Help her organize Mali.Copy !req
182. Up on the Hill
this afternoon.Copy !req
183. Did Toby give you his changes on
the remarks to the F.O.P.?Copy !req
184. No, he didn't.Copy !req
185. You don't have them yet?
No.Copy !req
186. Ask him again.Copy !req
187. Make sure he knows
it's this week.Copy !req
188. State and Foreign Ops
has been working with USAIDCopy !req
189. on what they're calling
"high impact health services"
for Mali.Copy !req
190. This trip's a sort of
a kick-off.Copy !req
191. They're focusing on HIV?Copy !req
192. That and child immunization.Copy !req
193. Look through that stuff,Copy !req
194. let me know
if you have any questions.Copy !req
195. You have any interest
in being fixed up?Copy !req
196. Not the kind of question
I was referring to.Copy !req
197. There's a guy at
the gym, he asked meCopy !req
198. if you were seeing anyone.
Guess you're famous.Copy !req
199. What guy?Copy !req
200. I don't know his name.Copy !req
201. Seriously?Copy !req
202. We have mutual friends.Copy !req
203. I played a pick-up game with
him about two years ago,Copy !req
204. we were introduced at the time,Copy !req
205. but now I see him around
the machines at the gymCopy !req
206. and it's all "Hey, man,
how you doing?"Copy !req
207. And it's two years
later, I can't ask
him his name, it's rude.Copy !req
208. And he asked you
to fix me up with him?Copy !req
209. Asked if you were seeing anyone.Copy !req
210. We were a couple guys
talking at the gym.Copy !req
211. We keep the sentences short.Copy !req
212. This is... No. You should talkCopy !req
213. about something else at the gym.Copy !req
214. I got most of it...
club soda and salt.Copy !req
215. That's great.Copy !req
216. It's wet though.
Yes.Copy !req
217. You want to go
with the binder again.Copy !req
218. It didn't work so
well the first time.Copy !req
219. Here.Copy !req
220. Are you sure?Copy !req
221. Of course.Copy !req
222. Can I lose the pin?Copy !req
223. It was my aunt's,
she's no longer with us.Copy !req
224. Well, you should wear it.Copy !req
225. It's covering a hole.Copy !req
226. You ready?Copy !req
227. Are you sure we shouldn't have
pulled Toby in for this?Copy !req
228. For Noah Buckley you
want a whole phalanx?Copy !req
229. He de-pantsed us on the Clean
Air Bill single-handedly.Copy !req
230. He's a lobbyist now;
he's out to build bridges.Copy !req
231. He's slippery.Copy !req
232. Greg Brock's here.
I'll meet you in the Mural.Copy !req
233. She send you to her tailor?Copy !req
234. Morning.Copy !req
235. Hi, pookie.Copy !req
236. I hear you think the President
picked a horse.Copy !req
237. I think he's done
more than that.Copy !req
238. I think he's
channeling support.
But what do I know?Copy !req
239. Well, I know a tremendous amount
for a woman of my yearsCopy !req
240. and I can tell youCopy !req
241. the President supports
all the Democratic candidatesCopy !req
242. and plans to remain neutral
until after the primary process.Copy !req
243. What if he did—
hypothetically?Copy !req
244. Back a candidate now?Copy !req
245. Hypothetically.Copy !req
246. Congress would go through
the roof.Copy !req
247. Anything the President tried
to do in the next five months,Copy !req
248. they'd decimate
because support of itCopy !req
249. would appear to be support
of a candidateCopy !req
250. that half the Democrats
and all the Republicans despise.Copy !req
251. And it would bring his entire
agenda for the last yearCopy !req
252. to a screeching halt.Copy !req
253. So if that, hypothetically,
was what was happening,Copy !req
254. he probably wouldn't
tell anybody.Copy !req
255. He probably wouldn't
even tell you.Copy !req
256. Wish I'd have been there.Copy !req
257. Would have been awkward.Copy !req
258. Would have stood in the back,
kept my head down.Copy !req
259. There must have been
a large NASA contingent.Copy !req
260. His wife didn't want that.Copy !req
261. Mmm.Copy !req
262. If you didn't do what you
do, what would you do?Copy !req
263. Um, medicine, probably.Copy !req
264. No, that's a lie.Copy !req
265. I'd grow apples.Copy !req
266. I'd run an apple orchard
and cider mill,Copy !req
267. and I'd be fat
as all get out.Copy !req
268. Sometimes I think what
if I was at UNICEF or
United Way,Copy !req
269. pilling together
the AIDS fight,Copy !req
270. or back in New York
turning the public
school system around,Copy !req
271. would that be a more effective
use of my 24 hours?Copy !req
272. But not this.Copy !req
273. Not pushing on the ocean.Copy !req
274. Hmm.Copy !req
275. Cliff, good to see you.Copy !req
276. C.J. Cregg,
with the snazzy promotion.Copy !req
277. I don't know if I bow
or kiss the ring.Copy !req
278. What's the protocol?Copy !req
279. Stand when I sit,
sit when I stand,Copy !req
280. "yes" my every question.Copy !req
281. You see this kid's suit?Copy !req
282. You like?Copy !req
283. I do.
Where'd you get...?Copy !req
284. I'll tell you where.
I have a guy...Copy !req
285. Gentlemen?
Sorry.Copy !req
286. Your suit's nice, too.Copy !req
287. You've had a chance
to look over the proposal?Copy !req
288. Is it going
to get a new name?Copy !req
289. The Water Program?
A little on the nose, no?Copy !req
290. You've got
a better idea?Copy !req
291. Water, Water, Everywhere
and Not a Drop to Drink?Copy !req
292. Mm, we'll think about it.Copy !req
293. I'm guessing you
have other issues,
so why don't we...Copy !req
294. Hang on...Copy !req
295. Oh, man.
I just had a deja vu.Copy !req
296. Wow.Copy !req
297. Sorry. Go ahead.Copy !req
298. We're trying to circumnavigate
as much as we can, early on,Copy !req
299. so let's talk about what
else you're worried...Copy !req
300. That's not necessary.Copy !req
301. The name's your only problem?Copy !req
302. No, no, I don't like any of it;Copy !req
303. I don't think
it's gonna work out;Copy !req
304. but I really
don't like the name.Copy !req
305. Admittedly, it's not so muchCopy !req
306. a solution as a beginning,Copy !req
307. but it's a good first step.Copy !req
308. Yeah. It isn't.Copy !req
309. It's a Band-AidCopy !req
310. that'll give
the federal governmentCopy !req
311. permission to ignore
drought conditionsCopy !req
312. in 11 states
for another five years.Copy !req
313. We're not getting anywhere
near it.Copy !req
314. Where'd you get the pin?Copy !req
315. From a dead woman.
Can we...?Copy !req
316. The Drought Program.Copy !req
317. That's a good name.Copy !req
318. Conservation measures are...Copy !req
319. The Drought Plan. Yeah.Copy !req
320. Because you've created a plan
that will extend the drought.Copy !req
321. Put a star
next to that one.Copy !req
322. It's not a drought.Copy !req
323. far less than average annual
rainfall, but we're not.Copy !req
324. We're dealing with
58 million people
wrestling overCopy !req
325. one river's water,
based on calculationsCopy !req
326. taken in what we now
know were 20 flood years.Copy !req
327. The party's over;
I'm asking you to work with us.Copy !req
328. Hey, I hear you.
I hear your frustration.
Cliff.Copy !req
329. Congress won't touch it.Copy !req
330. Even if I thought
more of it than I do,Copy !req
331. which is little,Copy !req
332. the New Mexico delegation
can't vote for itCopy !req
333. 'cause it makes them look
too pro-EPA.Copy !req
334. Sylbie in Colorado
can't vote for itCopy !req
335. 'cause it makes him look
too anti-EPA.Copy !req
336. The California Central Valley
folks can't support itCopy !req
337. because any funding they
get from it'll be deductedCopy !req
338. from the 42 million they're
already getting from the EPACopy !req
339. for pollution management.Copy !req
340. Collins might vote for it
just to piss off Sylbie,Copy !req
341. but I wouldn't
stake my morning onCopy !req
342. anything Hugh Collins might do.Copy !req
343. He's a bit of a tippler.Copy !req
344. Why'd you come in here if you
weren't prepared to play ball?Copy !req
345. My niece loves
those little M&M'sCopy !req
346. with the Seal of the President
on 'em.Copy !req
347. She takes 'em to school,Copy !req
348. gets a lot of attention.Copy !req
349. You got any of those
lying around?Copy !req
350. Sorry, Mr. Lyman.
This'll just take a minute.Copy !req
351. No problem, Larry.
No problem at all.Copy !req
352. Take your time.
Nothing going on today.Copy !req
353. Just trying to win primaries.
No biggie.Copy !req
354. Nope.Copy !req
355. You're not serious.Copy !req
356. Toby!Copy !req
357. Hey, Toby!Copy !req
358. Sign me in!Copy !req
359. Margaret, it's Josh.
They won't let me in.Copy !req
360. C.J. had to cancel your lunch,
so I killed the pass.Copy !req
361. Didn't get the message?Copy !req
362. Yeah, I'm fine about the lunch.Copy !req
363. Just coming in to say hello,
hang out for a bit.Copy !req
364. I've got meetings on the Hill
all afternoon.Copy !req
365. They really frown on
the hanging out.Copy !req
366. You know what?
Let me in!Copy !req
367. Hi.Copy !req
368. Hey. How's it going?Copy !req
369. Good. Good flight?Copy !req
370. Yeah. It was great.Copy !req
371. Margaret,
let me in the door.Copy !req
372. This is the contact listCopy !req
373. for everyone involved
with the trip.Copy !req
374. You'll want
to touch base.
Now?Copy !req
375. Not right now.
Let's talk about the guy.Copy !req
376. I thought
I was done with that.Copy !req
377. What's he look like?
Like a white guy.Copy !req
378. Like a pasty white guy?
He's Brad Pitt.Copy !req
379. He's Henry Kissinger.
Stop it.Copy !req
380. Hi.
Hey.Copy !req
381. I need Charlie.
We're working.Copy !req
382. I heard "Brad Pitt."
You're not working.Copy !req
383. Talk to me about the
announcement for the
Family Leave Expansion.Copy !req
384. The VP wants to come.Copy !req
385. Hello...
Am I interrupting?Copy !req
386. You were
in New Hampshire, right?Copy !req
387. I was.
That was nice.Copy !req
388. You'll call me
about the announcement?
Yeah.Copy !req
389. U.S. Ambassador to Mali and the
U.S. Global AIDS CoordinatorCopy !req
390. are gonna want copies of
whatever we come up with
this afternoon.Copy !req
391. No problem.
Just tell me:
tall or short.Copy !req
392. He's a good-looking guy,
he's smart,Copy !req
393. he's got a job,
he's not a jerk.Copy !req
394. I don't know his favorite color
or his sign,Copy !req
395. but he's got all his teeth
and almost all his hair, so...Copy !req
396. Almost?
How much is almost?Copy !req
397. He's got
a high forehead.Copy !req
398. This is a bad idea.
This is a bad idea.Copy !req
399. Look at this woman.Copy !req
400. Hello, pumpkin.Copy !req
401. She's a vision.Copy !req
402. I heard Security didn't
want to let you in.Copy !req
403. New guy.Copy !req
404. I heard it was Larry.Copy !req
405. How you doing?Copy !req
406. Good.
A little back pain.Copy !req
407. Sorry to hear that.Copy !req
408. I'm thinking
of shiatsu.Copy !req
409. That's great stuff.Copy !req
410. Yeah, that's what
they say.Copy !req
411. You're not letting me
in there, are you.Copy !req
412. Not a chance.Copy !req
413. M&M's bearing
the Seal of the President.Copy !req
414. This from a grown man.Copy !req
415. You got any?Copy !req
416. What?Copy !req
417. The M&M's.
I'm a little peckish.Copy !req
418. Thank you.Copy !req
419. We've got the agriculture
lobby in an hour.Copy !req
420. This better not
happen with them.Copy !req
421. It won't. We'll get
agriculture on board;Copy !req
422. we'll do some hand-holding
on the Hill;Copy !req
423. we'll put it
together without him.Copy !req
424. Who behaves like that?Copy !req
425. It's unprofessional.Copy !req
426. Yet terribly effective.Copy !req
427. You ought to have a
conversation with him.Copy !req
428. I'm happy picking up
the loose ends,Copy !req
429. but Josh Lyman left
a big hole in this place.Copy !req
430. Maybe he's coming back,
maybe he isn't.Copy !req
431. You want me to hire
Cliff Calley?Copy !req
432. He knows the Hill;
he knows what
he's talking about.Copy !req
433. You're talking
about a guyCopy !req
434. who used to work for
Congressional Republicans.Copy !req
435. I'm talking about a guy
who shut down an investigationCopy !req
436. of my substance abuse historyCopy !req
437. because he thought
maybe we should be
governing the country.Copy !req
438. It's a Republican
Congress.Copy !req
439. Not the worst thing
in the worldCopy !req
440. to have someone
with relationships
on both sides of the aisle.Copy !req
441. No. He's the wrong choiceCopy !req
442. and he's irritating
and he's obnoxious.Copy !req
443. That's worked for us
in the past.Copy !req
444. Here's the part where,Copy !req
445. in deference to
my years of service,Copy !req
446. you suspend, for a moment,Copy !req
447. the Teutonic allegiance
to protocolCopy !req
448. and shift thyself
out of my way!Copy !req
449. Josh Lyman
to see you.Copy !req
450. Was this place such a killjoy
when I worked hereCopy !req
451. or have the Brownshirts
taken over?Copy !req
452. You're vibrating.Copy !req
453. I feel that. Thanks.Copy !req
454. Yes.Copy !req
455. No!Copy !req
456. I am in town for one day!Copy !req
457. Tell him he reschedules
this thing again,Copy !req
458. I'm gonna tear off his headCopy !req
459. and fashion his skull
into a decorativeCopy !req
460. fruit bowl!Copy !req
461. Debbie!
Will!Copy !req
462. How goes it?Copy !req
463. Little bit of back pain,Copy !req
464. were I to tell the truth.Copy !req
465. I'm sorry to hear that.
Thinking about yoga.Copy !req
466. Hear it does wonders.Copy !req
467. You can't see him.Copy !req
468. Five minutes. Two?Copy !req
469. Write a letter.Copy !req
470. You should be stuck in
double lotus... with an itch.Copy !req
471. Good to see you.Copy !req
472. Is it time for
the meeting already?Copy !req
473. Uh, not quite.Copy !req
474. I just wanted to make
sure you were clearCopy !req
475. on how the committee
was funding the trip.Copy !req
476. It's complicated, so, if you
want to talk through it...Copy !req
477. It's really not.
Bring him on. The guy.Copy !req
478. You sure?
Yeah.Copy !req
479. I'm ready
to get off the bench.Copy !req
480. In the game.
Like that.Copy !req
481. I'll put him on the list
for the gala tonight.Copy !req
482. He'll know a bunch
of people there;Copy !req
483. you won't have
to entertain him.Copy !req
484. Who's he gonna know?Copy !req
485. Jimmy Hatch, Howard Kagan.Copy !req
486. He works for
the government?Copy !req
487. It's DC.
He's not the only one.Copy !req
488. I just thought maybe
he was a regular person.
Sorry.Copy !req
489. You really don't want
to roll out of bedCopy !req
490. with drool on your face and
a little bit of a hangover,Copy !req
491. and change your drawers
in the carCopy !req
492. and show up at the office
only to findCopy !req
493. last night's strategic error
in your 9:00 a.m. strategic
planning session.Copy !req
494. Tell me I'm not having
this conversation.Copy !req
495. Invite him to the party.Copy !req
496. You see the Republican side?Copy !req
497. Arnie Vinick. Clean sweep.Copy !req
498. Don't panic.Copy !req
499. He could get malaria;
race is wide open again.Copy !req
500. Am I seeing things
or is she...?Copy !req
501. Very.Copy !req
502. Wow. I didn't know
she was pregnant.Copy !req
503. She's pregnant.Copy !req
504. I didn't even know
she was married.Copy !req
505. How is the President doing?Copy !req
506. Not terrible.Copy !req
507. He gets tired and
pretends he isn't.Copy !req
508. His legs hurt
and he pretends they don't.Copy !req
509. We're still figuring it all out.Copy !req
510. Yeah.
What's up with Toby?Copy !req
511. I saw him in the hall...Copy !req
512. acting like a guy
who owed me money.Copy !req
513. C.J.:
He's been out of it
since the funeral.Copy !req
514. What funeral?Copy !req
515. David.Copy !req
516. His brother?Copy !req
517. He died?Copy !req
518. Tuesday.Copy !req
519. He was sick;
he went downhill pretty fast.Copy !req
520. Yeah, I knew he was sick,
I, uh...Copy !req
521. I talked to Toby last week.Copy !req
522. Why wouldn't
he say anything?Copy !req
523. Oh... I feel awful.Copy !req
524. I would've gone.Copy !req
525. None of us did.Copy !req
526. They didn't want
a whole to-do.Copy !req
527. I'm, I'm gonna go...
Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
528. Hey,Copy !req
529. you think
we can put togetherCopy !req
530. a water deal without the urban
development lobby on board?Copy !req
531. Out West?Copy !req
532. I don't know.Copy !req
533. You're gonna get
resistance in New MexicoCopy !req
534. and from Sylbie
out of Colorado.Copy !req
535. You may get the California
Central Valley guys on board,Copy !req
536. but you'd have to make itCopy !req
537. a pretty sweet deal.Copy !req
538. They're getting a nice
boost from the EPA now.Copy !req
539. They're not gonna walk away
from that without a big carrot.Copy !req
540. Stop it.Copy !req
541. It's good to see you.Copy !req
542. It is.
How are you doing?Copy !req
543. Ah, a little back pain.Copy !req
544. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.Copy !req
545. Thinking about heroin.
Really.Copy !req
546. Will's not getting in.
Don't make me repeat it.Copy !req
547. How go the wars?Copy !req
548. I just heard about David.Copy !req
549. Man, I am so sorry.Copy !req
550. Thanks.Copy !req
551. Why didn't you call me?Copy !req
552. What happened with
the Energy Trust Fund?Copy !req
553. It just got dropped.Copy !req
554. Screw the Energy Trust Fund.Copy !req
555. I wish I could've been at the...Copy !req
556. The Mental Health Commission.Copy !req
557. You dropped a bunch of stuff
and walked away.Copy !req
558. It all got handed off.Copy !req
559. I gotta...Copy !req
560. Yeah.Copy !req
561. Hang on one second.Copy !req
562. I got a 12:00 conference callCopy !req
563. and a 2:00 on the Hill.Copy !req
564. You want to get
some food in between?Copy !req
565. Can't today.Copy !req
566. A lot of people I know are
working on these campaigns.Copy !req
567. You're all in the same boat,Copy !req
568. you're soldiers in the same war,Copy !req
569. and then, all of a sudden,
the borders shiftCopy !req
570. and every word you sayCopy !req
571. and every soda you drink
has loyalty connotations.Copy !req
572. Could be campaigns,Copy !req
573. could be you're not ready
to talk to anybody yet.Copy !req
574. I don't have a problem
talking to anybody.Copy !req
575. You don't.Copy !req
576. I don't have a problem
talking to you.Copy !req
577. I'm special.Copy !req
578. Yes, you are.Copy !req
579. You think we rushed into this?Copy !req
580. Maybe.Copy !req
581. Mm.Copy !req
582. You sorry that we did?Copy !req
583. I'm not, actually.Copy !req
584. Doesn't mean
we didn't rush into it.Copy !req
585. No, no, no, call 'em back,Copy !req
586. talk to Elise Baine,
tell her they're notCopy !req
587. bumping us for Ricky Rafferty.Copy !req
588. Hang up.
Tell her the congressman
is available tomorrow only.Copy !req
589. Rafferty can wait.
Hang up now.Copy !req
590. Keep your pants on.Copy !req
591. Call me back.Copy !req
592. I'm gonna put a hit out
on Ricky Rafferty.Copy !req
593. I need to talk to you— not
with a million people around.Copy !req
594. Is our relationship
about to change?Copy !req
595. Rafferty put out
the full text of
the health plan.Copy !req
596. Annabeth had a copy.
Look at page three.Copy !req
597. "... obliterate
the money-launderingCopy !req
598. middleman between
you and your doctor."Copy !req
599. Why didn't every article
lead with this?Copy !req
600. It wasn't in the
first speech.Copy !req
601. They released the
whole plan today—Copy !req
602. guarantees them another
three days of coverage.Copy !req
603. Look how it's structured.Copy !req
604. It's structured like
Jed Bartlet structured itCopy !req
605. before we forced him
to cut it out of his plan.Copy !req
606. Rafferty's got to have
someone who workedCopy !req
607. on the President's first
health care initiative.Copy !req
608. That was you, Toby,
Sam, Melanie, Ken.Copy !req
609. You missed one.Copy !req
610. No. Who'd I miss?Copy !req
611. The President.Copy !req
612. You got a second?Copy !req
613. Has the President sat downCopy !req
614. with Senator Rafferty?
Josh.Copy !req
615. Lunch? Casual?Copy !req
616. Absolutely not.Copy !req
617. Maybe he's not sure
Russell's representingCopy !req
618. core Democratic values,
thinks a spoilerCopy !req
619. might nudge the debate in
an interesting direction.
The PresidentCopy !req
620. plans to endorse whoever gets
his party's nomination.Copy !req
621. We assume that will be
the Vice President.Copy !req
622. I'm sorry he's not prepared
to back your candidate,Copy !req
623. but he's most certainly
not backingCopy !req
624. Ricky Rafferty.
I can just seeCopy !req
625. where this Rafferty
thing is heading.Copy !req
626. Four weeks of articles about
single-payer health care,Copy !req
627. and it all reads like
vintage Bartlet.Copy !req
628. You know, the President's not
the first guy on the planetCopy !req
629. to try and phase out
insurance companies.Copy !req
630. Though he was
a little obsessed with it.Copy !req
631. I thought you were gonna burst
a blood vesselCopy !req
632. trying to talk him and Toby
off that one.Copy !req
633. I got to go make nice
with a bunch of lobbyistsCopy !req
634. from the over-subsidized
agribusiness conglomerates.Copy !req
635. Focus on South
Carolina—Rafferty'll flame out.Copy !req
636. Hey, do you have any thoughts
about Russell's package...Copy !req
637. packaging?
If this isCopy !req
638. a "solicit my opinion
so I feel importantCopy !req
639. before you ask for a favor,"
Donna's already been hereCopy !req
640. and the VP cannot join
the PresidentCopy !req
641. at the Fraternal Order of Police
on Thursday.Copy !req
642. It's not about the FOP—
I'm grooming a manCopy !req
643. for the highest
office in the land,Copy !req
644. I'm looking to
perfect the image,Copy !req
645. and they say you're
good at that.Copy !req
646. They do?
Yes.Copy !req
647. These people?Copy !req
648. Are you okay?Copy !req
649. I'm fine. I have something
in my contact lens.Copy !req
650. You're wearing glasses.Copy !req
651. Sorry.Copy !req
652. Did I say something?Copy !req
653. No, no, it's not you.Copy !req
654. It's just... ( sniffles )Copy !req
655. you know, you work somewhere,
and your perspectiveCopy !req
656. and your realm of experienceCopy !req
657. is different from that
of everyone around you,Copy !req
658. and... it's busy.Copy !req
659. people don't have time
to pat each other on the back,Copy !req
660. and I don't want that,Copy !req
661. but, gosh, it's just nice
to hear that...Copy !req
662. they think I'm good.Copy !req
663. Sorry.Copy !req
664. I can come back later.Copy !req
665. No. The boots are over,
the haircut was hasty,Copy !req
666. and in the debates,
he seems too interestedCopy !req
667. in what the other candidates
are saying.Copy !req
668. His S's are slushy,
his A's are flat,Copy !req
669. he exhales too loud
and inhales too often.Copy !req
670. But it's nothing...Copy !req
671. nothing that can't be fixed.Copy !req
672. And I'm honored,
really honored that you asked.Copy !req
673. Cliff Calley.
Thank you.Copy !req
674. I was summoned?Copy !req
675. You were. Sit.Copy !req
676. Heel.
Excuse me?Copy !req
677. Just seeing if it worked
both ways— it doesn't.Copy !req
678. Do you have any interest
in leaving the private sector?Copy !req
679. Are you offering me a job?Copy !req
680. I'm gauging your interest.Copy !req
681. In a White House job.Copy !req
682. Don't make me think about it
too hard.Copy !req
683. Okay. Wow!Copy !req
684. No, thanks.Copy !req
685. What?Copy !req
686. It's a temp job—
any job in this White House—Copy !req
687. and a low-paying one
at that, but wow.Copy !req
688. A temp job?
I can't believeCopy !req
689. I didn't bring
my little tape recorder.Copy !req
690. I could've played this
for my mom.Copy !req
691. This is all for the
best, because it wasCopy !req
692. a terrible idea
in the first place.Copy !req
693. Leo McGarry thought you
were a bridge builder,Copy !req
694. but you're a hack who
works for a bunchCopy !req
695. of cookie-cutter
condo builders
and hotel magnates.Copy !req
696. I don't know how
you sleep at night.Copy !req
697. Ativan.
I met with a herd of
lobbyists on thisCopy !req
698. water deal today—
you're the only one who
wouldn't budge an inch.Copy !req
699. Let's talk about
your agribusiness monstersCopy !req
700. who are siphoning 90%
of the Colorado RiverCopy !req
701. into the irrigation
of California rice
and alfalfa.Copy !req
702. This country is most
secure when it is its
own food source.Copy !req
703. Grow food, fine— it's a desert,
they're growing monsoon crops.Copy !req
704. I don't need you
on this project.
You're right,Copy !req
705. because I could jump in,
and you still wouldn't
get a deal,Copy !req
706. because the Senate'll love it
and the House won't touch it.Copy !req
707. I'm the only one who'll
tell you to your face.Copy !req
708. Let me thank you for
your honesty and forCopy !req
709. your service to the
American people.Copy !req
710. Okay, you want to know
how I sleep at night?Copy !req
711. There's a drought in Kenya.Copy !req
712. There's a drought in Zambia.Copy !req
713. There's a drought
in India and PakistanCopy !req
714. and Ecuador and Paraguay,
and there's a droughtCopy !req
715. in Malawi and Uganda
and Australia.Copy !req
716. We're the only nation
on the planet that can affordCopy !req
717. the $10 billion investment
it'll take to perfectCopy !req
718. desalination technology,
and the federal government'sCopy !req
719. never gonna make that investment
unless they're forced to,Copy !req
720. because there's
a major national water crisis,Copy !req
721. and they're taking heat from
cookie-cutter condo buildersCopy !req
722. and hotel magnates!Copy !req
723. Get out of my office.Copy !req
724. Nice.Copy !req
725. Immigration bill'sCopy !req
726. getting gutted in Committee.Copy !req
727. You see Rafferty's
health care plan?Copy !req
728. Yeah. Who was your
point person on immigration?Copy !req
729. "Obliterate
the money-laundering middlemanCopy !req
730. between you and your doctor"--
does it bother you,Copy !req
731. someone stealing your stuff,
does that...Copy !req
732. trouble you at all?Copy !req
733. It doesn't.
It would.Copy !req
734. You're not a good sharer.Copy !req
735. Only way it doesn't bother youCopy !req
736. is if you handed it to him
yourself.Copy !req
737. Shut the door.
Ricky Rafferty?Copy !req
738. Are you out of your mind?Copy !req
739. I've just eked out a lead,Copy !req
740. my guy's the friggin'
little engine that could—Copy !req
741. what do you think
you're doing?Copy !req
742. I don't know,
I thought maybeCopy !req
743. there should be somebody
in the fieldCopy !req
744. who talks like a Democrat.Copy !req
745. You wasted the opportunity,
you and your garage sale find.Copy !req
746. My what?
Ethanol pledge?Copy !req
747. I'm trying to win a race here.Copy !req
748. Matthew Santos isn't
gonna win anything.Copy !req
749. All you've got
is a chance to shapeCopy !req
750. the debate, strengthen
the party, and you blew it.Copy !req
751. You ran to the centerCopy !req
752. for a stinkin' 19%Copy !req
753. in New Hampshire?Copy !req
754. You're not supposed to be
trying to win anything.Copy !req
755. You don't have the man.Copy !req
756. You think I left the White House
to shape the debate?Copy !req
757. Somebody's got to.
This is your
contributionCopy !req
758. to the soul of the party?Copy !req
759. The world needed anotherCopy !req
760. going-nowhere health care plan?Copy !req
761. The world needed
to be presentedCopy !req
762. with at least
one useful idea.Copy !req
763. Now every viable candidate
has to waste airtimeCopy !req
764. on why they do or don't support
socialized medicine.Copy !req
765. There's a profit-generating
industryCopy !req
766. leeching the life out of
this country's health care!Copy !req
767. You got something better
you want to talk about?Copy !req
768. You're dragging the entire field
to the left!Copy !req
769. Good!
You could have
fed me ideas,Copy !req
770. you don't like the way
I'm running this thing.Copy !req
771. Yeah? How.
How? Telephone.Copy !req
772. How?
What are we talking ab...Copy !req
773. You didn't ask me.
Why the hellCopy !req
774. didn't you come to me
before you picked Santos?Copy !req
775. You have any idea how strong
a force we would've beenCopy !req
776. had we taken on a candidate
together?Copy !req
777. I'm asking you now.Copy !req
778. Yeah, well, no.Copy !req
779. That's it? That's your answer?Copy !req
780. Yeah, that's my answer.Copy !req
781. You are a selfish, petty...
Get out.Copy !req
782. waste of the oxygen in the airCopy !req
783. that useful people
could be...
Get out!Copy !req
784. You get out, you selfish
son of a bitch!Copy !req
785. My brother and I
used to collect pennies.Copy !req
786. Pick them up off the streetCopy !req
787. and put them in a...
in an old whiskey bottleCopy !req
788. we swiped from my old man.Copy !req
789. Every few months or so,
we'd go to the bank...Copy !req
790. to get these paper things,Copy !req
791. the tubes
to make rolls of change.Copy !req
792. My brother said
never walk down the streetCopy !req
793. without a roll of pennies
in your pocket.Copy !req
794. 'Cause you belt a guy with a...Copy !req
795. roll of pennies in your fist,
you do some damage.Copy !req
796. Get out!Copy !req
797. Get out!Copy !req
798. Oh, good. Can you
ask Charlie to get
me some backgroundCopy !req
799. on desalination
technology when he gets
back from the Hill?Copy !req
800. What?Copy !req
801. Maybe you should take a week,Copy !req
802. go back to New York.
I don't want
a week.Copy !req
803. You don't have to want it.Copy !req
804. I'm just not sure
you're doing yourself
any good here right now.Copy !req
805. I'll be fine.Copy !req
806. I'm not sure
you're doing usCopy !req
807. any good here right now.Copy !req
808. There are some things
falling through the cracks.Copy !req
809. What?
Little stupid stuff.Copy !req
810. Remarks to the Fraternal Order
of Police,Copy !req
811. which I care about
not at all.Copy !req
812. I'm happy to take it
off your plate.Copy !req
813. You just need to tell me.Copy !req
814. No, I'll do it.Copy !req
815. You will?Copy !req
816. How are David's kids doing?Copy !req
817. Just... just great.Copy !req
818. If that's where you should be,
there's nothing,Copy !req
819. nothing more important.Copy !req
820. I'm aware of what's important
in this landscape, thanks.Copy !req
821. When you...
lose somebody like that,Copy !req
822. that young and healthyCopy !req
823. and gone to some
senseless cancer...Copy !req
824. Can we not do
this, please?
Give yourselfCopy !req
825. some time to sit with his kids
and look at his picture.Copy !req
826. I don't want to look
at his picture.Copy !req
827. He did this.Copy !req
828. He did this.Copy !req
829. You understand?Copy !req
830. He sat in the...Copy !req
831. garage with the
engine running.Copy !req
832. He was sick.
No.Copy !req
833. He was diagnosed.Copy !req
834. He could've had years.Copy !req
835. But instead this.
His wife finds him.Copy !req
836. What if one of
his kids had...Copy !req
837. He just dropped
everything and
walked away.Copy !req
838. It's Jewish tradition
that you don't leaveCopy !req
839. the body alone
before the funeral.Copy !req
840. Someone... stays and guards it.Copy !req
841. And I sat in that room
for hours, watching him.Copy !req
842. Trying to figure out what was...Copy !req
843. what could have...Copy !req
844. gone through his brain.Copy !req
845. I'm not interested
in looking at his picture.Copy !req
846. You want some water?Copy !req
847. No.Copy !req
848. Scotch?Copy !req
849. No.Copy !req
850. You want me to go?Copy !req
851. ( whispers ):
No.Copy !req
852. You stopped.Copy !req
853. Huh?Copy !req
854. You were about
to answer my question—Copy !req
855. How'd he die?Copy !req
856. Cancer.Copy !req
857. They're not so good
with details.Copy !req
858. Yeah.Copy !req
859. Could call your friends
at DOD,Copy !req
860. find out the guy's name?Copy !req
861. I'll figure it out
before you meet him.
Don't worry.Copy !req
862. I just want
to get some info.Copy !req
863. Know what
I'm getting myself into.Copy !req
864. You do an NSC
background check
before every date?Copy !req
865. No wonder it's been slow.Copy !req
866. I'm not gonna do
a background check.Copy !req
867. I'm just wanna poke
around a little at DOD.Copy !req
868. He doesn't work at DOD.Copy !req
869. You said he worked
with Kagan and Hatch.Copy !req
870. He plays ball with them.
He works at State.Copy !req
871. What desk?Copy !req
872. Somewhere in South America.
Maybe Paraguay.Copy !req
873. Uruguay?
Yes.Copy !req
874. Red hair?
Yeah.Copy !req
875. Dick Van Dyke nose?
You know him?Copy !req
876. Used to be married to him.Copy !req
877. "Is Kate Harper seeing anyone?"Copy !req
878. I misunderstood
the initial inquiry, didn't I?Copy !req
879. Since when
do you wear specs?Copy !req
880. I don't.Copy !req
881. Somebody leave 'em?Copy !req
882. Yeah.Copy !req
883. They're not mine,
are they?Copy !req
884. I don't think so.
I lost a pair.Copy !req
885. They're not yours, Leo.Copy !req
886. Well, they look
like mine.Copy !req
887. They're my brother's.Copy !req
888. Can you see through 'em?Copy !req
889. I don't know.Copy !req
890. You going to this
DNC thing?
Yeah.Copy !req
891. I understand
you have a favorite.Copy !req
892. You here to fight
Josh Lyman's battles?Copy !req
893. You can't be doing this
from the White House.Copy !req
894. Leo...Copy !req
895. You can't do this
to the President.Copy !req
896. You think the President
doesn't wantCopy !req
897. genuine Democratic valuesCopy !req
898. in a national Presidential
contest?Copy !req
899. He'd do this himself,
if he could.Copy !req
900. I'm doing this
for the President.Copy !req
901. He could help RussellCopy !req
902. right now, if he wanted.Copy !req
903. Joint appearances,
a bill signingCopy !req
904. with the VP standing
right by is side.Copy !req
905. Ricky Rafferty's
the alternative.Copy !req
906. We do what we can do.Copy !req
907. That's not your
job anymore.Copy !req
908. You are no
longer the guyCopy !req
909. who picks losing candidates
and ushers themCopy !req
910. to their principled end.Copy !req
911. You're the guy who takes good
men and makes them great.Copy !req
912. You and Josh, you still think
you're terriers,Copy !req
913. barking at the heels
of the party.Copy !req
914. You are the party.Copy !req
915. Rafferty's a spoiler.Copy !req
916. Shouldn't be in the race.Copy !req
917. I'm not sitting
this one out, Leo.Copy !req
918. Don't.Copy !req
919. But don't pretend
you're still an outsiderCopy !req
920. with a ponytail and a dream.Copy !req
921. You work in the White House.Copy !req
922. Your brother didn't have
any more fight in him.Copy !req
923. You still do.Copy !req
924. You're gonna be right here
between Clarkson and Rafferty.Copy !req
925. The President's gonna come up,
everybody holds hands,Copy !req
926. picture, picture, picture,
and we're gone.Copy !req
927. The President's between
Russell and Hoynes.Copy !req
928. Everybody's in the shot.Copy !req
929. I'm second to the left.Copy !req
930. You don't have
a problem with the symbolism?Copy !req
931. That's the best
we could do.Copy !req
932. Second only to Rafferty,Copy !req
933. who's all the way
to the left.Copy !req
934. Sir, you're a Democrat,
left is not a crime,Copy !req
935. liberal is not
a dirty word.Copy !req
936. We scored New HampshireCopy !req
937. because people responded
to your policies.Copy !req
938. The temptation to grab at
center's only going to grow.Copy !req
939. Let's just take a minuteCopy !req
940. and remember
where you came from.Copy !req
941. I can't remember.Copy !req
942. I'm sorry.Copy !req
943. I was born
a poor black child.Copy !req
944. Close, but no,
that's not right.Copy !req
945. If you shake hands
with the President,Copy !req
946. hang on as long
as possible,Copy !req
947. give the cameras a chance
to catch it.Copy !req
948. I was born on the bayou?Copy !req
949. That's not it either.Copy !req
950. Matt Santos,
good to meet you.Copy !req
951. Half an hour
of grip and grin
and you're done.Copy !req
952. Grin, really,
I'm not supposed to grip.Copy !req
953. We told them you're leaving
before the speeches.Copy !req
954. In deference
to my health?Copy !req
955. There's an excuseCopy !req
956. we could've started
using years ago.Copy !req
957. I found a few people
on the guest listCopy !req
958. who aren't connected
to any of the campaigns.Copy !req
959. You should focus
your attention on them.Copy !req
960. You made a list?Copy !req
961. I'll point them out.
There are six.Copy !req
962. I hope you're
on that list.Copy !req
963. Can this be one
of those nightsCopy !req
964. where we get sloshedCopy !req
965. and forget
we work together?Copy !req
966. Ah, that would be lovely.Copy !req
967. Josh is here.Copy !req
968. If you're gonna
go at it again,Copy !req
969. will you let me know
in timeCopy !req
970. to put some money
on it?Copy !req
971. I'm gonna go downstairs
to the bar for a little while.Copy !req
972. Yell if you need me.Copy !req
973. C.J.Copy !req
974. Cliff.Copy !req
975. I was summoned again.
That's gotta stop.Copy !req
976. One gets drunk
with the power.Copy !req
977. I'm hiring you to work
in the White House.Copy !req
978. I looked into what you said
about desalination.Copy !req
979. I think
you've got a point.Copy !req
980. I'm still concerned
you may be soulless,Copy !req
981. but we can work on that.Copy !req
982. Yeah. I turned you down.Copy !req
983. Nobody turns us down.Copy !req
984. We're like the mob,
but less violent.Copy !req
985. Ultimately, responsible
for more deathCopy !req
986. and destruction, but still...Copy !req
987. You don't think
I'm an odd choice
for this White House?Copy !req
988. I think we've got
a few months leftCopy !req
989. and a lot of
governing to do.Copy !req
990. And I think you're a guy who
misses serving his country.Copy !req
991. C.J.--Copy !req
992. Take a second
and breathe.Copy !req
993. In a moment, you're going
to wish you had.Copy !req
994. Pardon me, sir,
this is Cliff Calley.Copy !req
995. We had a great chat
this morningCopy !req
996. about your Water Program.
He's a big fan.Copy !req
997. Good to meet you,
Mr. Calley.Copy !req
998. It's an honor, sir,
but I'm afraidCopy !req
999. Ms. Cregg may have slightly
misrepresented my position.Copy !req
1000. C.J., he's not a fan?Copy !req
1001. I thought the deal
was you wereCopy !req
1002. to you surround me
with sycophants.Copy !req
1003. This is one
of the six peopleCopy !req
1004. you're allowed
to speak to.Copy !req
1005. Take your time.Copy !req
1006. Looky, looky.Copy !req
1007. I thought
you weren't coming.Copy !req
1008. Yeah, me, too.Copy !req
1009. It's time to get back
in the pool.Copy !req
1010. Good for you.Copy !req
1011. Sorry I couldn't help.Copy !req
1012. Once upon a time,
I did this all by myself.Copy !req
1013. Hi.Copy !req
1014. Evening.Copy !req
1015. What can I get you?Copy !req
1016. A glass of red, please.Copy !req
1017. Whatever's open.Copy !req
1018. Pathetic.Copy !req
1019. Avoid the Swiss.Copy !req
1020. As a general rule?Copy !req
1021. I didn't know they made you
come to these things.Copy !req
1022. I take an interest.
Really?Copy !req
1023. I needed a change
of scenery.
Okay.Copy !req
1024. I have no reason
for being here.Copy !req
1025. Let's keep it
between ourselves.Copy !req
1026. No problem.Copy !req
1027. I'm on my 82nd
of what's boundCopy !req
1028. to be 350 identical
conversations.Copy !req
1029. I think
I'm losing my voice.Copy !req
1030. That's awful.Copy !req
1031. You mind if we stand here
and pretend we're talkingCopy !req
1032. but we actually don't?Copy !req
1033. Sure.Copy !req
1034. You sound like a guy formulating
an exit strategy.Copy !req
1035. I don't know.
Could be.Copy !req
1036. Can't say I'm entirely
surprised.Copy !req
1037. Senator Rafferty?Copy !req
1038. They're ready
for you upstairs.Copy !req
1039. I'll be right there.
Thank you.Copy !req
1040. I think you've said some things
this country needs to hear.Copy !req
1041. You've established yourself
as a national presence.Copy !req
1042. You step out
before Super Tuesday,Copy !req
1043. before anybody's shot
at a nomination is foiledCopy !req
1044. by what would be considered
a spoiler.Copy !req
1045. Maybe there'sCopy !req
1046. a Vice Presidency
in this for you.Copy !req
1047. I'm not pulling out
before South Carolina.Copy !req
1048. I did this
to make a point.Copy !req
1049. Absolutely.Copy !req
1050. And I want to make sure
that everybody's heard it.Copy !req
1051. I certainly never...Copy !req
1052. I've got to step out now.Copy !req
1053. Yeah.Copy !req
1054. I should go.Copy !req
1055. I'm gonna finish my drink.Copy !req
1056. You've still got my number,
if you need it.Copy !req
1057. Yeah, I do.Copy !req
1058. Put them on. Let me see.Copy !req
1059. Looks good.Copy !req
1060. Makes you look smart.Copy !req
1061. I thought I looked smart before.Copy !req
1062. So did I.Copy !req
