1. And, uh, who else is confirmed?
Copy !req
2. Is Senator Dorsey confirmed?
Copy !req
3. - Yes.
- Okay.
Copy !req
4. And Senator Lucas was a maybe,
but now he's definitely a definitely.
Copy !req
5. - Oh! That's awfully nice.
- Yeah, it's growing as we speak.
Copy !req
6. - Yeah, okay, let's go talk filibuster reform.
- (CHUCKLES)
Copy !req
7. No, the Vice President does not have a sliver
of daylight in her schedule today.
Copy !req
8. - Bye, Sue. Hey, Mike, Mike.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
9. Are we pushing the whole
cornstarch utensils campaign now?
Copy !req
10. Yes, ma'am. We've got a whole online thing.
Copy !req
11. - The inter-nerds are on it.
- Okay, good.
Copy !req
12. Oh! And today with the senators,
don't forget to smile.
Copy !req
13. Yeah, is that a poppy seed
there in your teeth?
Copy !req
14. - Probably.
- Yeah. Ugh.
Copy !req
15. - Oh!
- What?
Copy !req
16. - Senator Bixby is coming.
- Oh, good.
Copy !req
17. - Great.
- Ma'am, this is a fork.
Copy !req
18. - And you know that he's our tour guide.
- He's the tour guide.
Copy !req
19. - Right. Yes, yes, yes. Of course.
- Remember?
Copy !req
20. This is the new cornstarch fork, ma'am.
Copy !req
21. I got the cornstarch spoon, too.
Copy !req
22. Could we maybe table
tableware for now, Gary,
Copy !req
23. - and focus on filibuster reform?
- No, no, no, but, Amy, look.
Copy !req
24. Look at this. This is classic Clean Jobs stuff.
Copy !req
25. I mean, if I can get cornstarch utensils
in most federal buildings by the fall,
Copy !req
26. then the Veep has landed.
Copy !req
27. That is what we are working on, landing you.
Copy !req
28. - Yeah.
- Like a big, beautiful eagle.
Copy !req
29. - You want your scarf?
- No.
Copy !req
30. - Are you sure? It looks really pretty...
- No, I don't want it.
Copy !req
31. And what about Senator Reeves?
Is he dead yet?
Copy !req
32. Not yet. He's mostly intravenous.
Copy !req
33. He has so many tubes in him,
he looks like a set of bagpipes.
Copy !req
34. - Let me take your coat.
- Want to take our coats?
Copy !req
35. Here's your glasses.
Copy !req
36. What do you think?
Copy !req
37. Glasses on for the intellectual look?
Copy !req
38. - Focused?
- A woman with vision.
Copy !req
39. - I like your glasses.
- No, glasses make me look weak.
Copy !req
40. - Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
- It's like a wheelchair for the eye.
Copy !req
41. Okay, senators, let the reforming commence.
Copy !req
42. We're expecting 50 or 60.
- Oh, good.
Copy !req
43. Is this the right room? Are we early?
Copy !req
44. - Senator Phil Dorsey, 2:00.
- I'm not a sniper.
Copy !req
45. - Philip.
- Ah, Madam Vice President. Welcome.
Copy !req
46. Thank you.
Copy !req
47. - Oh, you remember my Chief of Staff, Amy.
- Oh, Amy, it's nice to see you.
Copy !req
48. His daughter Emily
just graduated from Harvard.
Copy !req
49. - Tell me, how is Emily?
- Oh, she's good.
Copy !req
50. - Oh, good.
- Can I get you something to drink?
Copy !req
51. - I would love a coffee.
- You got it.
Copy !req
52. Okay, thank you. What's going on, Amy?
Copy !req
53. There aren't enough people
to fill a fucking canoe in here.
Copy !req
54. Okay.
Copy !req
55. What's wrong? That was your bad okay.
What's wrong?
Copy !req
56. Senator Mike Dudley. He's interested in maps.
Copy !req
57. - Mike, you found us.
- Oh, Madam Vice President.
Copy !req
58. - Is that a map joke?
- (LAUGHS) Yes, it is.
Copy !req
59. - (CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
- Sorry. Excuse me.
Copy !req
60. - Okay.
- Let's talk about this blog thing.
Copy !req
61. - Guys, what's going on right now?
- I can explain that.
Copy !req
62. What is happening right now?
Copy !req
63. Brett Kagan's blog picked up a tweet from us.
Copy !req
64. Quote, "76% of government buildings
now have cornstarch utensils!
Copy !req
65. "Let's make it 100!
Let's make plastic utensils extinct!"
Copy !req
66. Oh, great, we've upset the plastics industry.
Copy !req
67. This whole building is bankrolled by plastics.
Copy !req
68. This is why nobody showed up.
Copy !req
69. Madam Vice President.
Copy !req
70. - I don't know who this man is.
- Hello.
Copy !req
71. Mike, talk to me. I am in a room
with three people and a fuckload of quiche.
Copy !req
72. Okay, here comes Dorsey with your coffee.
Copy !req
73. Gary, I have large, moving shapes covered.
Copy !req
74. - Okay. Okay.
- Okay?
Copy !req
75. - (WHlSPERS) Here's your coffee.
- Oh, my...
Copy !req
76. I'll get it. I got it. I got it.
Copy !req
77. Okay, here's what we do.
Here's what we do.
Copy !req
78. You should meet with Senator Hallowes.
She is so tight with the plastics people, it's...
Copy !req
79. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
80. Do these not bend the fuck back?
Copy !req
81. No. No.
Copy !req
82. What am I supposed to do with this?
I'm supposed to eat around corners?
Copy !req
83. Is that how it's gonna work?
Here, take this, please.
Copy !req
84. We could even give Hallowes
a post on your Clean Jobs Commission,
Copy !req
85. - keep plastics happy.
- That's actually a great idea.
Copy !req
86. Can you do that? Can you do that?
Can you get Hallowes now?
Copy !req
87. Of course I can. You can just shut it down.
Copy !req
88. - Yeah. Go, go, go.
- Shut it down.
Copy !req
89. - You should mingle.
- Mingle?
Copy !req
90. - Yeah.
- What?
Copy !req
91. How do you suggest
that I mingle with this few people?
Copy !req
92. Did Simon mingle with Garfunkel?
Copy !req
93. They worked together.
They probably socialized together.
Copy !req
94. I'm sure they did, right?
Copy !req
95. Madam Vice President. Hi, I'm Dan Egan.
Copy !req
96. I'm director of communications
for Senator Hallowes.
Copy !req
97. - Oh, good.
- Currently.
Copy !req
98. I just want to say that I'm a huge fan
of the Clean Jobs initiative.
Copy !req
99. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
100. You know what I say,
it's a dirty job and I love to do it.
Copy !req
101. - That's funny. I actually...
Barbara?
Copy !req
102. - Selina, hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
103. The Vice President, or Veep, has managed
to punch her way through.
Copy !req
104. Thank you, Dan. Yeah.
Copy !req
105. Barbara, it's so good to see you.
Copy !req
106. - It's good to see you.
- What have I been missing here?
Copy !req
107. Power. (LAUGHS) I'm kidding!
Copy !req
108. - Oh, Selina.
- I know. I know.
Copy !req
109. Coffee for the Vice President, please, Dan.
Copy !req
110. Guess what?
I've managed to get a fresh batch
Copy !req
111. of those European sweeteners
you like so much.
Copy !req
112. Oh. Thanks, Gary.
Yeah, they're great sweeteners.
Copy !req
113. - They are awful.
- (LAUGHS)
Copy !req
114. Actually, they're just sweeteners
I got at a NATO meeting last year.
Copy !req
115. They really taste rather, um,
Copy !req
116. unpleasant.
Copy !req
117. Kind of bitter.
Copy !req
118. So, Dan, are you enjoying
working for Hallowes?
Copy !req
119. Not really. She's middle of the road.
Copy !req
120. She's mediocre, really.
Of all the "ocres," she's the mediest.
Copy !req
121. Do I add water to this machine?
It's like a robot.
Copy !req
122. It's a nice bag, Gary.
Copy !req
123. You know, he calls that "the Leviathan."
Copy !req
124. Ooh, you got the nuclear codes
in there, buddy?
Copy !req
125. ls there a pouch or something
that I put into this?
Copy !req
126. You still got that guy Mike
in your press shop?
Copy !req
127. - Yes.
- He ran press for Moses, didn't he?
Copy !req
128. - Oh, God.
- ls there like an espresso thing?
Copy !req
129. - A little podule or anything?
- Jesus fucking Christ.
Copy !req
130. All right, look, watch me, autismo.
You take the little pod,
Copy !req
131. put the little pod in the fucking hole,
shut the fucking lid,
Copy !req
132. hit the fucking button
for two fucking seconds.
Copy !req
133. - Oh, it's so easy.
- Too quick, I didn't see it.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, next time pack an espresso machine
in your big fucking bitch bag.
Copy !req
135. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
136. Dan seems nice.
Copy !req
137. - He's new.
- He is great.
Copy !req
138. Very loyal.
I got him from an Ohio Congresswoman.
Copy !req
139. You know, he's dating my daughter.
Copy !req
140. - You're kidding. Janet?
- No.
Copy !req
141. Of course not. Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
142. I meant, um, Carol.
Copy !req
143. - Carol.
- (CHUCKLES)
Copy !req
144. - How are your kids?
- Uh, she's good.
Copy !req
145. - Oh, good, good.
- Great. Great.
Copy !req
146. - I understand you're busy.
- I am.
Copy !req
147. But I wanted to talk to you about
coming on board the Clean Jobs Commission.
Copy !req
148. To get plastics off your back?
Copy !req
149. No, sorry, Selina. That would be bad for me.
Copy !req
150. (SCOFFS) Oh, come on.
They're not gonna pull funding over this.
Copy !req
151. Honey, what is plastics made of?
Copy !req
152. You piss off plastics, you piss off oil.
Copy !req
153. And you do not want to fuck with those guys
Copy !req
154. because they fuck in
a very unpleasant fashion.
Copy !req
155. (STAMMERlNG) Barbara, are you really
willing to sell your soul
Copy !req
156. to the guys who make toothbrushes
Copy !req
157. and the holders for toothbrushes?
Copy !req
158. Yeah, they're the guys who fund the members
Copy !req
159. of your Clean Jobs Commission.
Copy !req
160. I could draw you a diagram,
but it would be a very simple diagram.
Copy !req
161. Oh, I can handle geometry, Barbara, all right?
Copy !req
162. - Come on, I've got to get going.
- Yes, I have a ton on my agenda as well.
Copy !req
163. Watch this. Uh, Senator Reeves just died.
Copy !req
164. - Oh.
- (GASPS)
Copy !req
165. Oh.
Copy !req
166. Rapey Reeves.
Copy !req
167. He was the first senator to welcome
me to the Capitol, you know?
Copy !req
168. He was old even then.
Copy !req
169. - Was he full of wisdom?
- He was full of bourbon.
Copy !req
170. And he grabbed my left tit.
Copy !req
171. - Remember that?
- And God rest his soul.
Copy !req
172. Hey, did you fire your tweet monkey yet?
Copy !req
173. - Because that guy is a weapons-grade retard.
- I know.
Copy !req
174. I think you might have been hoist
by your own retard there.
Copy !req
175. (LAUGHS) That's a good one.
"Your own retard." Nice.
Copy !req
176. - See you downstairs.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
177. - Honor to have met you, Madam.
- Oh, thank you, Dan.
Copy !req
178. I really admired your primaries campaign.
Copy !req
179. Oh. How nice. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
180. Two things I would have done differently.
Copy !req
181. Two things? Oh, no kidding. What were they?
Copy !req
182. I think you spent too much time
in New Hampshire. That was in the bag.
Copy !req
183. And the attack ads in Oregon
came up four days too soon,
Copy !req
184. made you seem mean before you had to be.
Copy !req
185. But, I mean, you're the old pro here.
Copy !req
186. Ooh!
- You're the pro.
Copy !req
187. Well, I'll keep that in mind.
Copy !req
188. Sorry about the Senate meeting.
Copy !req
189. Yeah, it was like a funeral for a homeless guy.
Copy !req
190. - How was Hallowes?
- Oh, you know, the usual.
Copy !req
191. (MOCKlNG ACCENT) "Selina, hi.
Copy !req
192. "I'm melting. I'm melting."
Copy !req
193. She is such a fucking bitch.
Copy !req
194. So today at the 3:30 press call,
what do you want me to say about plastics?
Copy !req
195. - I think our best agenda is to reassure...
- Whoa!
Copy !req
196. - I know. Don't tell me.
- What?
Copy !req
197. 'Cause if I genuinely don't know,
then those bastards can't make me tell them.
Copy !req
198. You know my motto, "l don't want to know."
Copy !req
199. Anyways, what motto? I don't have a motto.
Copy !req
200. Hey, Sue. Did the President call?
Copy !req
201. - No.
- No.
Copy !req
202. Sue, that is a lovely dress.
Copy !req
203. - Thank you, Gary. Madam Vice President.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
204. We're gonna need to resync your BlackBerry.
Copy !req
205. - Okay.
- The diary's been violated.
Copy !req
206. Ma'am, here's your coffee. It's really hot.
Copy !req
207. Can you put it down right there?
Copy !req
208. Oh, Gary. Um...
Copy !req
209. (SlGHS) Oh, my God,
what was I just gonna say?
Copy !req
210. Oh. I don't know. It just went out of my head.
Copy !req
211. - It'll come to me later.
- Okay.
Copy !req
212. And Jonah is here from the White House.
Copy !req
213. I told him you were too busy to see him,
Copy !req
214. but, as you see,
he ignored me and, by implication, you.
Copy !req
215. - Hi.
- Oh, Madam Vice President.
Copy !req
216. Close the door. On your way out, close it.
Quickly. Quick, quick.
Copy !req
217. Quick, quick. God almighty.
Copy !req
218. No.
Copy !req
219. You, did you check the Wikipedia?
Did they change her weight again?
Copy !req
220. Somebody keeps hacking into the site
and changing her weight.
Copy !req
221. Oh, Jonah.
Copy !req
222. Good new ltalian place
opened up downtown, Amy.
Copy !req
223. - You like ltalian?
- I love ltalian, Jonah,
Copy !req
224. but still, unfortunately, really dislike you.
Copy !req
225. Oh, I wasn't asking you out.
I don't want you to think
Copy !req
226. that was a burn
because I wasn't asking you out.
Copy !req
227. It's the guy from My Left Foot.
Copy !req
228. Jonah, how many times have you talked
to the President today?
Copy !req
229. Oh, you want to know?
Copy !req
230. Yeah, 'cause you need to put it up
on that star chart on your refrigerator.
Copy !req
231. - He actually spoke to me four times today.
- Four?
Copy !req
232. Briefing room, NSC meeting, hallway twice.
Copy !req
233. And in each of those did he say,
Copy !req
234. "Someone get this freak
the fuck away from me?"
Copy !req
235. - (AMY LAUGHS)
- Hi, Jonah.
Copy !req
236. What's the news from the mountaintop?
Copy !req
237. - The White House would like...
- Hang on just a second.
Copy !req
238. Can you do me there?
Copy !req
239. - Doing you.
- What?
Copy !req
240. The White House would like you
to attend a 6:00 p.m.
Copy !req
241. Fundraiser tonight
instead of the President.
Copy !req
242. - Oh, no, that's not gonna happen.
- Not on the schedule.
Copy !req
243. The POTUS doesn't want to get hit with
questions on the fiscal responsibility bill.
Copy !req
244. Obviously they won't ask you guys
because you have no...
Copy !req
245. You just have other areas of expertise.
Copy !req
246. Yeah, Clean Jobs, Yemen, mission to Mars.
Copy !req
247. Yeah, it's not gonna happen. I'm busy tonight.
Copy !req
248. Yeah, we're positioning ourselves right now
with the Clean Jobs Commission.
Copy !req
249. But the President
of the United States ofAmerica
Copy !req
250. is very keen
Copy !req
251. that your going to the fund-raiser should be
Copy !req
252. fundamentally the sequence of events
Copy !req
253. that does actually take place this evening.
Copy !req
254. I will make a call.
Copy !req
255. - Thank you.
- And I'd like you to watch your tone with me.
Copy !req
256. - I will watch my tone.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
257. And, Mike, you need to be there, too, okay?
Copy !req
258. So no going home to walk your dog.
Copy !req
259. Don't tell me what to do,
Doogie Fucking Howser.
Copy !req
260. I don't know what that means.
Copy !req
261. - Or your Left Foot thing.
- Great movie.
Copy !req
262. Okay, I'm going to go back
to the White House.
Copy !req
263. That address makes me hard.
Copy !req
264. Kiss you, miss you.
Copy !req
265. Hey, Mike.
Copy !req
266. What would you say were the two
biggest campaign mistakes that we made?
Copy !req
267. You looked tired a lot and the hat.
Copy !req
268. - I liked the hat. What are you talking about?
- The hat hurt us.
Copy !req
269. Your head looked weird in the hat,
that's all I'm gonna say.
Copy !req
270. Okay... What do you think of Dan?
Copy !req
271. Oh, Dan is a shit.
Copy !req
272. You want to expand on that?
Copy !req
273. Sure. He's a massive and total shit.
Copy !req
274. When you first meet him,
you think surely to God
Copy !req
275. this man can't be as big a shit as he seems,
Copy !req
276. but he is.
Copy !req
277. - See, l...
- 'Cause like if there were a book
Copy !req
278. with covers made of shit,
you'd think, "That's intriguing.
Copy !req
279. "l wonder what's in this book that they saw fit
Copy !req
280. "to give it covers made of pure shit."
Copy !req
281. And then you open it and... Shit.
Copy !req
282. - (APPLAUSE)
- Thank you so much. Yes.
Copy !req
283. How are you? I see you. I see you.
Copy !req
284. There's Congresswoman Clements,
you should speak with her.
Copy !req
285. She's got a small mustache.
It's a little disturbing.
Copy !req
286. - Don't stare at it, okay?
- Oh. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
287. The podium is definitely too high.
Copy !req
288. - Box me, Gary. Box me.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
289. What is the utensil situation?
Is it cornstarch or plastic here?
Copy !req
290. Stay away from both.
The utensils are politicized.
Copy !req
291. You could use celery as a kind of shovel.
Copy !req
292. I cannot believe you are
dating your boss's daughter.
Copy !req
293. She's fun, she's sexy.
She can advance my career.
Copy !req
294. - I really like her.
- That's the one.
Copy !req
295. - She's great.
- That's the one.
Copy !req
296. We need to talk about the VP's speech, okay?
Copy !req
297. - What?
- Can I just...
Copy !req
298. - Don't grab my shit.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
299. White House says we need
to majorly redact this, okay?
Copy !req
300. I'll redact your fucking face.
Copy !req
301. The White House does not want anything
in the papers tomorrow about oil, okay?
Copy !req
302. - What?
- Or plastics.
Copy !req
303. - Nothing about cornstarch.
- Her whole position is green jobs.
Copy !req
304. This doesn't come from me,
okay, so just do it.
Copy !req
305. You love this. You love this.
Copy !req
306. I'm not gonna say I don't enjoy it.
Copy !req
307. Ladies and gentlemen,
I want to welcome you all
Copy !req
308. here tonight and thank you for coming.
Copy !req
309. - Hi, Selina.
- Hey.
Copy !req
310. - Just a small change in the speech.
- What is that?
Copy !req
311. (SlGHS) Plastics apparently talked
to the President.
Copy !req
312. The White House doesn't want us
mentioning oil or cornstarch or plastic.
Copy !req
313. Just wing it.
Copy !req
314. This has been pencil-fucked completely?
Copy !req
315. Yes, front and back. Very little romance.
Copy !req
316. That's the entire speech, okay?
Copy !req
317. What's left here? I've got "Hello,"
and I have prepositions.
Copy !req
318. You could talk about your boat
or something like that.
Copy !req
319. Sure, talk about the boat.
Copy !req
320. Gary, seriously,
can you just shut up for 10 seconds?
Copy !req
321. Okay, now I can't read what you're writing.
Copy !req
322. Relax, you're really good
at Senate vote reform.
Copy !req
323. Hit that one. That's a home run.
Copy !req
324. That's your Sergeant Pepper's.
Copy !req
325. We can also use my kitten heels gag.
Copy !req
326. - All right. Is that funny?
- No.
Copy !req
327. It's funny enough for these people.
Copy !req
328. - Hit the verbs.
- Thank you, I've got it.
Copy !req
329. It's fine, I can do it.
I can't... I don't know what that is.
Copy !req
330. Please welcome Vice President Selina Meyer.
Copy !req
331. - Go for the money.
- It's just pennies.
Copy !req
332. Hi. Oh!
Copy !req
333. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests,
Copy !req
334. as I'm sure you're aware,
Copy !req
335. I have stepped into
the President's shoes this evening,
Copy !req
336. and who knew he wore kitten heels?
Copy !req
337. No, he of course doesn't.
Copy !req
338. He's more of a stilettos kind of guy.
Copy !req
339. Um...
Copy !req
340. All kidding aside,
Copy !req
341. I am reminded tonight
Copy !req
342. of the Late Senator David Reeves.
Copy !req
343. He died.
Copy !req
344. He's dead now.
Copy !req
345. And I remember dear David
Copy !req
346. talking to the President and myself
Copy !req
347. about the absurdity of allowing
Copy !req
348. multiple filibusters on a single bill.
Copy !req
349. And...
Copy !req
350. Politics is about people.
Copy !req
351. It's about people.
Copy !req
352. - Uh...
- ls your guy gonna be tweeting about this?
Copy !req
353. Okay, let me put it this way, Sam,
Copy !req
354. that guy is no longer in a position
to pay his iPhone contract.
Copy !req
355. That's because Mike McLintock there
threw him into the Potomac River.
Copy !req
356. Oh, boy. It seems with that cornstarch tweet,
we were hoist by our own retard.
Copy !req
357. Uh...
Copy !req
358. So...
Copy !req
359. I know. I know. I know what I said.
Copy !req
360. It's the use of the word "retard."
Copy !req
361. - It's just not...
- But it was a joke. It was a joke.
Copy !req
362. And then everything went silent.
Copy !req
363. if I could, I think it would behoove you
to make an apology
Copy !req
364. as soon as possible, in which case
I can get someone in your office
Copy !req
365. from an appropriate mental health charity...
Copy !req
366. Who the fuck is pretty boy?
Who the fuck is pretty boy?
Copy !req
367. Look, it's going to be in the papers tomorrow.
Copy !req
368. Not necessarily.
Let's not make it the story and panic, okay?
Copy !req
369. - What if Tom Hanks dies?
- What?
Copy !req
370. - What a dark thought.
- I'm not wishing that.
Copy !req
371. I'm saying anything could happen.
Copy !req
372. Tom Hanks could die,
there could be a forest fire in LA.
Copy !req
373. How did you get this job?
You really want to base your press strategy
Copy !req
374. based on trying to figure
out when Tom Hanks is gonna...
Copy !req
375. - Did somebody order a dick-o-gram here?
Yes, seemingly.
Copy !req
376. Can we not strategize in a closet?
Copy !req
377. All right, what we're gonna do is
we're gonna walk slowly to the car, okay?
Copy !req
378. But you guys surround me, very purposeful.
Copy !req
379. - Like a human motorcade.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
380. - We're discussing important things.
- Like the pope.
Copy !req
381. - Come on.
- MlKE: Let's just roll.
Copy !req
382. - And smile, though. Smile, smile.
- Wonderful job.
Copy !req
383. Smiling. And we're gonna talk about that.
Copy !req
384. It's not enough of a motor...
Copy !req
385. Surround me more, though. Surround it.
Copy !req
386. - Surround me.
- Okay, I've got it. I've got it.
Copy !req
387. I need to keep these off yourjacket
'cause the static attracts and retains dirt.
Copy !req
388. Thank you, Gary.
Making physics fun.
Copy !req
389. Every minute that we delay,
"retard" goes up a font size.
Copy !req
390. Well then, start the process.
Copy !req
391. Mike, I think that we're gonna have
to have you pull an all-nighter.
Copy !req
392. No, I can't. I've got the dog.
Copy !req
393. Okay, listen. Mike, you go home.
Copy !req
394. Feed the dog. Walk the dog.
Copy !req
395. Shoot the dog. Bury the dog.
Copy !req
396. - And then come back in, okay?
- The dog will be fine.
Copy !req
397. She was trying to be funny.
Copy !req
398. I know. She's not funny.
Of course I know that.
Copy !req
399. No, no, no.
She won't be available for that, either. No.
Copy !req
400. I can't say no to you again,
so I'm just going to...
Copy !req
401. Good morning.
Copy !req
402. Seen this?
Copy !req
403. Everybody seen it?
Everybody got a good look?
Copy !req
404. Front page of the style section
of The Washington Post.
Copy !req
405. You're the head of communications,
is that correct?
Copy !req
406. - Yes, ma'am.
- Tuck your shirt in.
Copy !req
407. Okay? Your dick is hanging out of your pants.
Copy !req
408. Sue, did the President call?
Copy !req
409. - No.
- No.
Copy !req
410. - Hey, everyone.
- God.
Copy !req
411. What colossal fuckup
are we dealing with this morning?
Copy !req
412. Did the Veep kill
the last remaining snow leopard?
Copy !req
413. Did she firebomb a hospice?
Copy !req
414. I don't have time to ignore you, Jonah.
Copy !req
415. Gary, could you please ignore Jonah for me?
Copy !req
416. What do you want, Jonah?
Copy !req
417. I have a condolence card
for Senator Reeves' widow.
Copy !req
418. POTUS has signed,
the VPOTUS needs to sign.
Copy !req
419. And then I'm gonna take this to the Hill, okay?
Copy !req
420. You talk as if you're passing
the Civil Rights Act.
Copy !req
421. - Look alive, gang.
- Hey, good-looking. What you got cooking?
Copy !req
422. Dickwad pie?
Copy !req
423. Amy, this is Paul Burton.
Copy !req
424. He's the chair of the American Foundation
for Adult Mental Disabilities.
Copy !req
425. - Hi. How are you?
- Hi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Amy.
Copy !req
426. Mr. Burton, love to bring you into my office.
Copy !req
427. - Thank you.
- Did you know that I have my own flag?
Copy !req
428. Ma'am, I have a condolence card
here for Senator Reeves' widow.
Copy !req
429. Oh, uh, Amy, can you...
Copy !req
430. - Gary, we are going to need two coffees.
- Okay.
Copy !req
431. - Shouldn't that be three?
- Two is good.
Copy !req
432. Guys, a man is dead.
Copy !req
433. When a sexual harasser dies,
we sign his wife's card.
Copy !req
434. Okay? That's how Washington works.
Copy !req
435. - I will sign it.
- Fine, thank you.
Copy !req
436. That was her telling me to sign her name.
Copy !req
437. if she'd wanted me to sign your name,
she would have done this...
Copy !req
438. That didn't get me.
Copy !req
439. I mean, I misjudged things.
Copy !req
440. Fundamentally, I would say I misjoked.
Copy !req
441. I mean, if we were gonna really be...
Copy !req
442. Ha-ha! Tall, dark and tiresome,
Copy !req
443. you need to get back to your boss's corner.
Copy !req
444. Hallowes is on the ropes.
She was reported by the blog
Copy !req
445. saying that the Late Senator Reeves
had a history of sexual misconduct.
Copy !req
446. Yeah, well, you know what?
I don't work for Senator Hallowes.
Copy !req
447. I resigned just about an hour ago.
Copy !req
448. - Are you kidding me?
- Yeah, right after I leaked that story.
Copy !req
449. - What are you planning?
- What?
Copy !req
450. - What?
- What?
Copy !req
451. Can you please
keep your eye on him, please?
Copy !req
452. Yeah.
Copy !req
453. - 'Cause this is shady shit.
- Okay.
Copy !req
454. All right, Mike, here's what we do, okay?
Copy !req
455. At the 1 1 :30, you say that Senator Hallowes
not only insulted the Late Senator Reeves,
Copy !req
456. but that she also encouraged...
Copy !req
457. No, wait, strike that.
Copy !req
458. She goaded the VP into using
the word retard in a joke.
Copy !req
459. See what I'm doing?
Copy !req
460. Senator Hallowes is responsible
for "Retardgate."
Copy !req
461. Are you like a guy trying to be clever?
Copy !req
462. 'Cause you seem like a guy
who thinks he's being clever.
Copy !req
463. Take a good look at me, okay?
Copy !req
464. Now ask yourself something, Mike.
Copy !req
465. ls the man you're looking at
gonna be in a position a year from now
Copy !req
466. working above you or below you?
Copy !req
467. 'Cause all ambition you had
left your body a long time ago
Copy !req
468. and now all you've got left in the last
10 remaining years of your working life
Copy !req
469. is a damp apartment, cold crab cakes,
and an invisible fucking dog.
Copy !req
470. Do you want to follow this plan or not?
Copy !req
471. Make a calculation, buddy.
Copy !req
472. Um...
Copy !req
473. In your poly-sci BA, did you ever learn
how to write a press release?
Copy !req
474. I think I might have heard of that.
Copy !req
475. - Let me teach you.
- Okay.
Copy !req
476. Did Jonah leave?
Is he gone with that condolence card?
Copy !req
477. Yeah, he just left.
Copy !req
478. 'Cause I think that I signed my name.
Copy !req
479. - What?
- Not Selina's name, my name.
Copy !req
480. Okay. Whoa, whoa. Okay, wait.
Copy !req
481. How sure are you on a scale of one to 10?
Like one is the...
Copy !req
482. Yeah, yeah, I can work out
how the fucking scale will go, Gary.
Copy !req
483. - Nine.
- That's almost a full 10.
Copy !req
484. - Yeah, I signed my name.
- Oh. Father.
Copy !req
485. It's gonna look like the Veep
couldn't be bothered to sign
Copy !req
486. a condolence card for one of the most
respected perverts in the Senate.
Copy !req
487. if I were writing a memoir, which I'm not,
Copy !req
488. but if I were, whew,
this would be a big moment.
Copy !req
489. No one can know about this.
Copy !req
490. - She cannot know about this.
Duh.
Copy !req
491. - No, no, no, Gary!
- Gary, what are you doing?
Copy !req
492. So sorry.
I just need to tell you something.
Copy !req
493. What the fuck, Amy?
Copy !req
494. I am putting out two fires in there,
Copy !req
495. and I turn around to find out
that you have set fire
Copy !req
496. to the fucking fire truck.
Copy !req
497. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Copy !req
498. The level of incompetence
in this office is staggering.
Copy !req
499. We are going to get the card back
and replace it with a new one.
Copy !req
500. - Yeah, that's right.
- Simple.
Copy !req
501. You're gonna get on it.
Copy !req
502. You are going to shut this
the fuck down, okay?
Copy !req
503. Because I am busy in there
apologizing to that
Copy !req
504. fucktard.
Copy !req
505. God!
Copy !req
506. Okay. It's fine.
Copy !req
507. Mr. Burton. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
508. We're having a complicated day here.
Copy !req
509. I'm not happy about having
to give this press briefing.
Copy !req
510. Yeah, and of course
your happiness is top of my agenda,
Copy !req
511. right above climate control
and child trafficking.
Copy !req
512. Oh, my gosh, is this gonna
become like Moonlighting?
Copy !req
513. Where we fall in love and start fucking?
Copy !req
514. Gary is going to go to Jonah's office
Copy !req
515. and somewhat surreptitiously
get the card back.
Copy !req
516. I don't have a coat. I need to hide the card.
Copy !req
517. There's coffee on my coat.
Copy !req
518. Yeah, that's right.
You can borrow my coat.
Copy !req
519. Thank you, Sue. Thank you, Sue.
Copy !req
520. - Thanks, Sue.
- Solution-Sue.
Copy !req
521. - Of course. There's some solutions.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
522. Thank you so much.
That was really kind of you.
Copy !req
523. - First of all, you should put the hood down.
- I wasn't going to put the hood up.
Copy !req
524. Well, good luck, Gary.
I am convinced that you can probably do this.
Copy !req
525. Thank you.
Copy !req
526. Want me to ring through,
tell them you're coming?
Copy !req
527. - No, my God!
- Okay, okay, a joke.
Copy !req
528. Hello. Lightening the mood here.
Copy !req
529. Amy, come up with a plan B. Okay? 'Cause...
Copy !req
530. Gary?
Copy !req
531. - Jonah.
- Are you here
Copy !req
532. to steal the incorrectly-signed card, Gary?
Copy !req
533. - Come on, no.
- This looks really bad.
Copy !req
534. - It's not bad.
- Gary, I'm a friend of yours.
Copy !req
535. I don't think you are.
Copy !req
536. - At all.
- I'm just kidding.
Copy !req
537. Gary, loosen up, okay?
I'm gonna give you the card, all right?
Copy !req
538. All right. To be honest, I was a little scared.
Copy !req
539. - (LAUGHS)
- Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
540. - There it is.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
541. - It's just really...
- Okay.
Copy !req
542. - I'm sorry.
- Let's just get to the bad part.
Copy !req
543. Let's just get to the bad part
'cause I know you got one.
Copy !req
544. I don't like tension.
I got acid reflux. Let's get to the bad part.
Copy !req
545. I want Amy to go on a date with me tonight.
Copy !req
546. Okay, okay, okay. That's impossible.
Copy !req
547. Don't worry about it, okay?
We're not gonna have sex, all right?
Copy !req
548. - Because she hates me.
- Okay.
Copy !req
549. - But Amy's an eight.
- Okay.
Copy !req
550. And if all the other eights
that I do want to have sex with
Copy !req
551. see that I am eight-capable,
Copy !req
552. then I'm going to be having some sex
with an eight very soon.
Copy !req
553. It is intern season, Gary.
Copy !req
554. Do I look like a pimp to you?
Copy !req
555. You look exactly like a pimp.
Copy !req
556. Dan, waiting for some crumbs to fall?
Copy !req
557. - Fuck off.
Uh, no.
Copy !req
558. Got to talk to her for one moment, please.
Copy !req
559. No, she's actually really burdened right now
with a bunch of...
Copy !req
560. Sue, it'll take one second, literally.
Copy !req
561. - Mike, she's spinning.
- Okay. I'll come back.
Copy !req
562. Hey! What's up, pumpkin?
Copy !req
563. What the fuck are you still doing here?
Copy !req
564. Vice President asked me to stop by.
Copy !req
565. Right.
Copy !req
566. (CHANTlNG) Go, Gary. Go, go, go, Gary.
Copy !req
567. - Go, Gary.
- Well done, buddy.
Copy !req
568. - No, you didn't.
- Yes.
Copy !req
569. - You got it?
- Yes, I did.
Copy !req
570. Wow. Gary. Good for you.
Copy !req
571. Good for... Oh. Excuse me.
Copy !req
572. All right.
Copy !req
573. Yeah, although I did have
to make a deal with Jonah.
Copy !req
574. Amy's got to go on a date with him tonight.
Copy !req
575. - (LAUGHlNG)
- Oh, no, she's not.
Copy !req
576. He doesn't want to have sex with you.
He just wants dinner and a movie.
Copy !req
577. No, Amy is not going on a date with Jonah.
Copy !req
578. Get a grip. It's a date and no sex.
Copy !req
579. For me, that was 12 years of marriage.
Copy !req
580. - I'll get you guys a motel.
- Ugh.
Copy !req
581. Oh, God, no!
Copy !req
582. Make a hole! Make a hole! Make a hole!
Copy !req
583. - Oh, my God.
- Look at this.
Copy !req
584. - What? What?
- Look.
Copy !req
585. The President already signed this one.
Copy !req
586. Okay? We're gonna have to forge
the President's signature on the new one.
Copy !req
587. Well, that's a capital offense.
Copy !req
588. Yeah, you could be legally electrocuted
for doing that, just so you know.
Copy !req
589. I'm not here. I have plausible deniability.
Copy !req
590. Look, I'll do it. I got it.
Copy !req
591. The key is you do it upside down.
Copy !req
592. That is extraordinary.
Copy !req
593. ls there anything you can't do?
Copy !req
594. Foreplay, direct sunlight.
Copy !req
595. - Ma'am, I am at your service.
- Amy, yes.
Copy !req
596. I wanted to talk to you about this.
Copy !req
597. I have offered Dan a permanent post
Copy !req
598. - here in the office.
- Okay.
Copy !req
599. - Great.
- Not a problem.
Copy !req
600. I'll get the BlackBerry fired up.
Copy !req
601. - Sounds good to me.
- Here we go.
Copy !req
602. - Do you have a second?
- Sure.
Copy !req
603. You hired him?
You hired the biggest bastard in DC?
Copy !req
604. Yeah, well, I'm fluent in bastard.
Copy !req
605. Okay? It's one of my languages.
Copy !req
606. Amy, I used Dan to get what I wanted.
Copy !req
607. He used you to get what he wanted.
Copy !req
608. Uh-uh. No. I definitely used him.
I'm the user, and he's the usee.
Copy !req
609. Okay, Amy, here we go.
Copy !req
610. Shrimp linguini and a porno.
Copy !req
611. Oh, hey, I'm just kidding.
Copy !req
612. It's chicken linguini. I'll be over here.
Copy !req
613. Dan is manipulative. He is cunning.
Copy !req
614. I know. That's why I hired him.
Why aren't you listening to me?
Copy !req
615. In six months when all
this bullshit dies down,
Copy !req
616. we're gonna put an oil guy
on the Clean Jobs Commission.
Copy !req
617. You're pouring oil on Clean Jobs?
Copy !req
618. Please, please, Amy, grow up.
Copy !req
619. This is how they solved
the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Copy !req
620. This is my Cuba.
Copy !req
621. Did Dan tell you that this is your Cuba?
Copy !req
622. He's such a shit.
Copy !req
623. I know, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
Copy !req
624. You sold him to me as a shit
and that's why I hired him.
Copy !req
625. He's shitty me, okay? I need a shit.
Copy !req
626. - You are so going to regret...
- Amy, I need a shit.
Copy !req
627. - Knock, knock. Hello.
- Hello.
Copy !req
628. Bob Jeffries of the Plastics
and Cellulose Association.
Copy !req
629. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
630. - Madam Vice President.
- How do you do?
Copy !req
631. - Please, come into my office.
- Thank you so much.
Copy !req
632. Do you know that I have my own flag?
Copy !req
633. I hope that's one of our cellulose flags.
Copy !req
634. (LAUGHS) You're too much.
Copy !req
635. Your chariot awaits.
So, yeah, grab your coat.
Copy !req
636. Okay, little Jack Horner, there you are.
You got a brand-new desk in the corner.
Copy !req
637. Follow me, I've got a beautiful spot
Copy !req
638. for your adoring photo
of girlfriend Carol Hallowes.
Copy !req
639. Actually, she's not my girlfriend anymore.
Copy !req
640. I just broke up with her
about 15 minutes ago via text.
Copy !req
641. - Cold and rather nerdy.
- Actually, it was an app.
Copy !req
642. All right, move out. Slick's moving in.
Copy !req
643. Gary, can we get
two coffees in here?
Copy !req
644. No sweeteners.
Copy !req
645. - No sweeteners?
- Sugar.
Copy !req
646. - No sweeteners?
- No sweetener. Sugar.
Copy !req
647. Touch me, you lose a finger. And a ball.
Copy !req
648. Funny story.
I was at the White House this morning
Copy !req
649. and the President saw I was eating trail mix.
Copy !req
650. So I said, "Do you like trail mix?"
Copy !req
