1. Why on earth am I spending my lunch break
at the great Governor Chung's book launch?
Copy !req
2. Because it's better than watching Gary drip
that fucking noodle juice down his chin.
Copy !req
3. God, I'm gonna snort a line of tzatziki and go.
Copy !req
4. I am so mired in filibuster reform,
I've got no conversation.
Copy !req
5. - Do you know Chung?
- Not really.
Copy !req
6. - Hey!
- Dan, my man.
Copy !req
7. Governor. Good to see you, my friend.
Copy !req
8. - How are you, sir?
- I'm very well.
Copy !req
9. - And you must be Amy.
- Yes.
Copy !req
10. So, Dan, how's it working out with the VP?
Copy !req
11. 'Cause if you ever wanna
step several rungs down the ladder,
Copy !req
12. I could always use help from a fellow Daniel.
Copy !req
13. Dan only climbs up ladders.
Copy !req
14. Yes, but sometimes
you have to go down to go up.
Copy !req
15. I assume the Vice President
would be too busy.
Copy !req
16. Yes. She sends her apologies.
Copy !req
17. She's prepping for Meet the Press.
Copy !req
18. I'll be on Face the Nation.
Copy !req
19. But everyone will be watching her,
so I guess I can just wing it.
Copy !req
20. - Shall I sign a book for her?
- No... Okay.
Copy !req
21. I'd better be going around myself,
Copy !req
22. make sure everyone
gets to touch the hem of my garment.
Copy !req
23. Dan, the man. (LAUGHS) All right.
Copy !req
24. "You have to go down to go up."
Copy !req
25. - What a jerk.
- I'm gonna steal that.
Copy !req
26. Because he who speaks in maxims
Copy !req
27. can sound wise.
Copy !req
28. This is good. This is like cornbread.
Copy !req
29. - (DAN SlGHS)
- Hello, children.
Copy !req
30. - Hello, Senator.
- You looking for some fresh backs to stab?
Copy !req
31. Oh, Senator Doyle, it's all part of the game.
Copy !req
32. Yeah, well, I'll tell you,
you wanna play a game, Danny?
Copy !req
33. Why don't you try working
an iPad with your dick?
Copy !req
34. No, he's already got carpal tunnel in that area.
Copy !req
35. You have nothing constructive
to say to me, Amy?
Copy !req
36. Is this about Clean Jobs?
Copy !req
37. Is that what they call it still
with two oil guys on it?
Copy !req
38. Wow, you're gonna have to buy
a lot of spray cans to paint that turd gold.
Copy !req
39. Everyone has limits to their power, Senator,
even the Vice President.
Copy !req
40. Yeah, and I have the power to withdraw,
Copy !req
41. which is what I'm gonna do right now.
Copy !req
42. When he said withdraw, he's not talking about
Copy !req
43. withdrawing from filibuster reform,
though, right?
Copy !req
44. - No! No!
- What do you think he's talking about?
Copy !req
45. I assumed it was withdraw
from the conversation.
Copy !req
46. Who uses withdraw as a fucking verb
besides Catholics and butlers?
Copy !req
47. Maybe the lsraeli military
every once in a while.
Copy !req
48. Yeah, you think I don't know?
You're fucking with me.
Copy !req
49. No. Come on, let's just head back.
Copy !req
50. No, no. No way. I'm staying right here.
Copy !req
51. You gotta network to get work, baby.
Copy !req
52. All right? Chung for change.
Copy !req
53. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
54. We've got Jobs.
Copy !req
55. - Clean Jobs.
- Clean Jobs.
Copy !req
56. Filibuster reform.
Copy !req
57. - Yeah, hit that hard.
- Right. You know what we need?
Copy !req
58. - We need some normal, regular-people stuff.
- I got an idea.
Copy !req
59. You could talk about how you always get
a sweaty upper lip underneath studio lights.
Copy !req
60. That shows you're normal.
Copy !req
61. I'm really talking
about a different kind of normal, Gary.
Copy !req
62. - Oh, okay.
- Small talk's gonna happen at the end, right?
Copy !req
63. - Right.
- Gregory's a Redskins fan.
Copy !req
64. - He'll probably bring up football.
- Football.
Copy !req
65. And I am a...
Copy !req
66. Ravens fan, so...
Copy !req
67. Madam Vice President,
how are your Ravens doing this year?
Copy !req
68. My Ravens are gold and I'll tell you why.
Copy !req
69. Because we have Joe Flacco
as our quarterback.
Copy !req
70. - Yes. Yes.
- And uh...
Copy !req
71. Well, you know, the Redskins have
a great running game this year
Copy !req
72. and, honestly, that receiving corps over there,
Copy !req
73. Anquan Boldin, not looking good for you.
Copy !req
74. Anquan?
Copy !req
75. A receiver on the Ravens.
Copy !req
76. Okay, well, I'm not gonna remember that.
Copy !req
77. - That's not good.
- It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
78. You wanna bet a beer
that the Ravens will win.
Copy !req
79. - Beer makes me so gassy.
- You can talk about that.
Copy !req
80. About how it always bloats you, beer.
Copy !req
81. - Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
82. - That's a good one. Oh.
- How was Chung?
Copy !req
83. Did he do this thing where you don't know
if you're supposed to hug him or crucify him?
Copy !req
84. Which, by the way,
makes me wanna crucify him.
Copy !req
85. - I did not stay for his speech.
- Let me see this.
Copy !req
86. - "The Good Fight."
- (MlKE SNlCKERS)
Copy !req
87. - I know. The title...
- Please! Sue?
Copy !req
88. - Yep.
- Handle this for me.
Copy !req
89. - Do you want me to shred it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
90. - Should I fire up the shit eater?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
91. No, no. Wait a second.
He scrawled something in the front for you.
Copy !req
92. "To Vice President Salina Meyer,"
Copy !req
93. with an "A". "From an admiring wannabe."
Copy !req
94. What an E-hole.
Copy !req
95. Changed the "A" to an "E".
Copy !req
96. What a bunch of Washington bullshit that is.
Copy !req
97. I am so tired of... Hey, Gary, l...
Copy !req
98. I mean, "wannabe"?
He's obviously making a joke, right?
Copy !req
99. He doesn't really think that he's some sort
of credible Vice Presidential candidate.
Copy !req
100. Mmm, charismatic war hero.
Copy !req
101. Yeah, but, I mean, the President
always sticks with the incumbent Veep.
Copy !req
102. Plus, he doesn't wanna look like
he made a massive error picking you.
Copy !req
103. Well, that was lovely.
Copy !req
104. - He's stuck with me, is that what...
- I don't mean it like that.
Copy !req
105. I meant good stuck,
like if your marriage lasts or whatever.
Copy !req
106. The President's not gonna ditch you.
Copy !req
107. Would you be quiet? What?
Copy !req
108. Want me to have Scott put together
a file on Chung,
Copy !req
109. - given the noise?
- No. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
110. Do not let him know that you're worried.
Do not make it a thing.
Copy !req
111. - Yeah, Amy, don't make it a thing, okay?
- Okay.
Copy !req
112. Ame?
Copy !req
113. Although, if those wheels
are in motion anyway,
Copy !req
114. then I would say go ahead and, you know,
Copy !req
115. put a file together, you know.
Copy !req
116. You know what I'm sick of?
That stupid story of Chung
Copy !req
117. supposedly pulling some guy
out of a burning tank.
Copy !req
118. Come on, why do guys
in the army get a medal for doing their job?
Copy !req
119. The guy still had severe burns.
if anything, Chung was too late.
Copy !req
120. Whoa, whoa. Your desk is in the back.
Copy !req
121. - This is neutral territory.
- Yep. So I'm claiming it.
Copy !req
122. Sue, would you like to tell him
about the encroachment rules?
Copy !req
123. Do I look like
a kindergarten teacher to you, Mike?
Copy !req
124. - Actually, yes.
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
125. Uh, no, you don't. Okay, go ahead.
Copy !req
126. - I'm gonna use your desk in the back.
- As what, a pantry?
Copy !req
127. Oh, here we go.
Copy !req
128. Look who it is, everybody!
It's your favorite Jonah.
Copy !req
129. You're not even
your mom's favorite Jonah, Jonah.
Copy !req
130. Don't be changing the talking points
for my Meet the Press thing.
Copy !req
131. Okay? I am prepped.
Copy !req
132. I come bearing a very minor request
from the President.
Copy !req
133. Does he want to operate me
by remote control?
Copy !req
134. No. That's not technologically possible.
Copy !req
135. Um...
Copy !req
136. POTUS would appreciate it
if you didn't go too hard on filibuster reform.
Copy !req
137. What are you talking about?
That's my defining Vice Presidential crusade.
Copy !req
138. The administration
is totally focused on the economy.
Copy !req
139. Have a great weekend, okay?
- Ma'am.
Copy !req
140. Thank you, ma'am, you, too.
- Yeah, thank you very much.
Copy !req
141. - Ma'am.
- I need to gather my things.
Copy !req
142. I'll tell you something else,
these need water, okay?
Copy !req
143. Got it.
- Okay.
Copy !req
144. So, ma'am, POTUS would like
your new chosen subject
Copy !req
145. to be immigration reform.
Copy !req
146. Americans losing jobs to illegals, et cetera.
Copy !req
147. I spoke in favor of immigration amnesty
all during my primary campaign.
Copy !req
148. - Hey, how's it going?
- Well, with respect, ma'am,
Copy !req
149. do you think anybody's
gonna remember your primary campaign?
Copy !req
150. Ooh.
Copy !req
151. In spite of your preface, I did not detect
a whole lot of respect in that question.
Copy !req
152. You know, I meant that
more as a slight against
Copy !req
153. the power of recollection of the electorate
Copy !req
154. and not as an attack
on the potency of your campaign.
Copy !req
155. Well, why didn't you say that, then?
Copy !req
156. Oh, because you have the social skills
of someone who was raised by wolves.
Copy !req
157. Oh, and pump up China as a trading partner.
We gotta keep nudging that one along.
Copy !req
158. I gotta get back to the White House.
Copy !req
159. God, I love saying that.
Copy !req
160. Well, God bless the President, you know.
Copy !req
161. I mean, he's really a great man,
but he is busting my fucking lady balls here.
Copy !req
162. And pump up China?
Copy !req
163. Is that some sort of dig about Chung?
Copy !req
164. Okay, so I guess we're not going home.
Copy !req
165. - Yeah. Sue? We're staying.
- Yep.
Copy !req
166. Aw.
Copy !req
167. Whew.
Copy !req
168. Did you have a good Saturday night?
- It was okay.
Copy !req
169. My zipper on my Leviathan broke,
Copy !req
170. so I had to drive around
trying to find a replacement.
Copy !req
171. - What did you do?
- You know what I did?
Copy !req
172. I went to bed at 7:00 p.m.
7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night.
Copy !req
173. Even people who are dying of malaria
stay up later than that.
Copy !req
174. Well, they can't sleep
because they're coughing.
Copy !req
175. Hi, guys. I'm all set.
I'll be there in just a second.
Copy !req
176. - Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- All right.
Copy !req
177. I gotta go, but you know what?
Copy !req
178. Hang out here as long as you like
and I'll call you afterwards, okay?
Copy !req
179. Can't I just leave now with you?
No, I don't want them to see you.
Copy !req
180. All these extra rules, it's kind of weird.
Copy !req
181. I know, but I am the Vice President.
Copy !req
182. Oh, yes, you are.
Copy !req
183. Hearing you say that
gives me a massive hard-on.
Copy !req
184. Oh, I am the Vice President.
Copy !req
185. Oh, baby, I'm ready to launch.
Copy !req
186. And I'm ready to eat you up.
Copy !req
187. Oh, second breakfast.
I didn't know you had it in you.
Copy !req
188. Oh, God. Oh, I want it in me.
Copy !req
189. - All right.
Bye.
Copy !req
190. Yeah. I'm gonna watch your ass move.
Copy !req
191. - (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah.
Copy !req
192. Hi, you guys.
- Hey.
Copy !req
193. - You look pretty.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
194. - How are you guys?
- Great.
Copy !req
195. - All set? You got everything?
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
196. - I just have to get my stuff.
- How was your Saturday night?
Copy !req
197. Um, it was fine.
Copy !req
198. - Here, I'll get that.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
199. - Mike!
- Oh, hey.
Copy !req
200. I was just visualizing you kicking ass
on Meet the Press.
Copy !req
201. Why are you so tired? You don't do anything.
Copy !req
202. Here's the research Scott pulled on Chung.
Copy !req
203. Check out page one.
Copy !req
204. He was born back in China
before his dad got his citizenship,
Copy !req
205. so he can't be President or Vice President.
Copy !req
206. Really? Well, that's good news.
Copy !req
207. - More good news for Meet the Press.
- Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
208. - David Gregory is ill.
- (GASPS)
Copy !req
209. - Sam Finnegan is the fill-in.
Ho, ho, a virgin.
Copy !req
210. Oh, God, I'm gonna eat him up.
Copy !req
211. What?
Copy !req
212. - Well, that changes the sports stuff.
- MlKE: No panic.
Copy !req
213. We'll just change the Redskins
to whatever Finnegan's team is.
Copy !req
214. What is Finnegan's team?
Copy !req
215. I'm pretty sure he's a Bears fan.
It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
216. - Mike, you're pretty sure?
- Pretty sure?
Copy !req
217. Exactly. That doesn't help.
Copy !req
218. It doesn't matter
because you're gonna talk about the Ravens.
Copy !req
219. I know that I'm a Ravens fan,
Copy !req
220. but, like, what if Finnegan
is a Ravens fan, too, you know?
Copy !req
221. A team can't play itself, can it?
Copy !req
222. You can in video games.
Copy !req
223. Some people say your immigration policy
is at odds with yourjobs program.
Copy !req
224. How would you respond to that?
Copy !req
225. Well, I would respond like this.
Copy !req
226. I would say that the economy
has changed a great deal
Copy !req
227. since I made those statements
Copy !req
228. and the President and I agree
that Americans have to come first.
Copy !req
229. That's my girl. Olympic-style back flip.
Copy !req
230. And I believe very strongly...
Copy !req
231. - That's sweat. That's lip sweat.
- That's shimmer.
Copy !req
232. You haven't spoken much
today about the Senate filibuster reform.
Copy !req
233. Well, I'll say this,
Copy !req
234. in order to reform, you have to perform.
Copy !req
235. She got filibuster in!
Copy !req
236. Just waiting for Jonah. Here he is.
Copy !req
237. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
238. Hello, penis enlargement clinic.
Copy !req
239. Mike, who is incompetent, you or her?
Copy !req
240. Because she just talked
about filibuster reform.
Copy !req
241. He asked her.
Copy !req
242. My message is simple,
my message is this. Yes.
Copy !req
243. - Thank you, Madam Vice President.
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
244. Sam, I just have to ask you,
you're a Bears fan.
Copy !req
245. - Is that right?
- Guilty.
Copy !req
246. - She do the sports yet?
- She's doing it now.
Copy !req
247. We're not nervous at all.
With Flacco, forget about it.
Copy !req
248. I'll bet you a beer that we win by a TD.
Copy !req
249. What about Ray Rice? Hell of a lead runner.
Copy !req
250. Ray Rice, Ray Rice, Ray...
Copy !req
251. Well, he... Ray Rice, he play nice.
Copy !req
252. Ooh.
Copy !req
253. Vice President.
- Thank you so much.
Copy !req
254. We'll be back next week,
because if it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press.
Copy !req
255. Will you be watching Danny Chung
on Face the Nation?
Copy !req
256. Uh, you know, I would,
but I've got a game of solitaire going on,
Copy !req
257. so I think I'll give that a skip.
Copy !req
258. Long-term beltway money's on him
as Presidential material.
Copy !req
259. Oh, really?
Copy !req
260. Well, I'd be surprised
because technically he's not an American.
Copy !req
261. I mean, because he wasn't, um, born here,
Copy !req
262. you know, not because he's half...
Copy !req
263. - 'Cause his parents...
- Well, I've gotta go.
Copy !req
264. - Okay.
- But it was a pleasure talking to you.
Copy !req
265. Thank you so much. Did you get it?
Copy !req
266. - I got it.
- Oh...
Copy !req
267. Um...
Copy !req
268. Listen, they wouldn't
have recorded that, right?
Copy !req
269. I mean, I had the mic on,
but I don't think it was hot.
Copy !req
270. - Do you think that it was on?
- I hope to God they didn't.
Copy !req
271. I didn't say he was bad
because he's part Chinese.
Copy !req
272. - No, no.
- It's not bad to be Chinese.
Copy !req
273. Can you go speak to the sound guy?
Copy !req
274. I can't do it
because it'll make it look like a thing.
Copy !req
275. I don't wanna make it look like a thing,
Copy !req
276. - so maybe I can...
- I'll do it.
Copy !req
277. No, no, no. Gary, Gary, Gary.
Copy !req
278. - Gary, come.
- I'll do it.
Copy !req
279. I think actually he should
go talk to the sound guy.
Copy !req
280. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
281. Do you have any ideas on what I should say?
Copy !req
282. You offered to do this. What was your plan?
Copy !req
283. That was my plan, was to go over there,
Copy !req
284. walk over there,
I just need some ideas on what to say.
Copy !req
285. Gary, just give it a light touch.
Copy !req
286. - No import to it.
- Okay.
Copy !req
287. - What does that mean?
- Just talk to him
Copy !req
288. like working guy to working guy.
Copy !req
289. - It's casual.
- Got it.
Copy !req
290. Mano a mano.
Copy !req
291. - Jesus Christ.
- Okay.
Copy !req
292. Even in Spanish, you know,
it doesn't sound like it's gonna work.
Copy !req
293. It totally might have just been me,
Copy !req
294. but kind of, didn't it sound a little glitchy
in the end or anything like that?
Copy !req
295. - You saying I can't do my job?
- No. Oh, God, no.
Copy !req
296. It's bad?
Copy !req
297. Well, he just went from a smiley guy
to a frown-y guy.
Copy !req
298. I just need to know
if everything's okay, you know.
Copy !req
299. Working guy to working guy, you know.
Copy !req
300. - Listen, working girl.
- Okay.
Copy !req
301. Yeah. I didn't hear any glitches.
Copy !req
302. All I heard was the sound of a fuck-up, okay?
Copy !req
303. - Sending Gary over there was crazy.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
304. - He was completely out of his element.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
305. I agree. I agree.
Copy !req
306. Hey, we're getting
some press interest in this already.
Copy !req
307. - Oh, God.
- Where? Where?
Copy !req
308. It's still non-narrative. No momentum yet.
Copy !req
309. Ma'am, I thought you might want me
in the office, given the circumstances.
Copy !req
310. - How do you know about the circumstances?
- Well, I'm Sue.
Copy !req
311. It's my job to know everything, Amy.
Copy !req
312. So it's definitely out there, out there?
Copy !req
313. No, no, it's not out there, out there.
Copy !req
314. I heard about it, Dan,
so it sort of is out there, out there,
Copy !req
315. that's why I'm in here, in here, Dan.
Copy !req
316. - Jonah's coming. Jonah's coming.
- Fuck! All right, what do I do?
Copy !req
317. What if he doesn't know
that it's not definitely out there, out there?
Copy !req
318. Should I tell him that?
Copy !req
319. You don't wanna give a loaded gun
to that walking silo.
Copy !req
320. - Don't make it a thing until it's a thing.
- Do you have any...
Copy !req
321. Bad news, everyone.
Copy !req
322. - This hasn't hit the mainstream media yet...
- It was out of context.
Copy !req
323. but a crane has collapsed onto a ship
at Portsmouth, Virginia.
Copy !req
324. Oh, thank... God, how horrible.
Copy !req
325. Wait, what was out of context?
Copy !req
326. Um, we thought you were gonna
give me shit about filibuster reform.
Copy !req
327. Oh, well, the White House
is very much under the moon about that,
Copy !req
328. but let's reboot.
Copy !req
329. The President is stuck in economic talks.
Copy !req
330. - We need a VPVP.
- A what?
Copy !req
331. A Vice Presidential visual presence.
Copy !req
332. You can't just make up acronyms, Jonah.
Copy !req
333. - Somebody has to, Mike.
- No, they don't.
Copy !req
334. Okay, well, then,
we should head on down there.
Copy !req
335. Let's get the ball rolling.
Let's get there as soon as possible.
Copy !req
336. Yeah. We've got it handled.
Copy !req
337. Oh, Jonah, that's a good look for you.
Copy !req
338. What do you call that? Bi-casual?
Copy !req
339. Thanks, Mike, but it's Sunday.
Copy !req
340. I work hard, I work fast, and I get hot legs.
Copy !req
341. I say let the whale hang loose.
Copy !req
342. - Who am I offending?
- Show of hands.
Copy !req
343. Right here.
Copy !req
344. Okay, well, I think
that worked out pretty good.
Copy !req
345. - (ALL SlGH)
- Just confirmed.
Copy !req
346. Two fatalities, 24 injured so far.
Copy !req
347. I didn't mean it like that.
Copy !req
348. Dan, we're going to a hospital.
Do you have a suit that you can change into?
Copy !req
349. - I have five.
- Okay.
Copy !req
350. Do you have something that could fit
the McLintock shape?
Copy !req
351. That's not a Santa suit?
Copy !req
352. I got something.
Copy !req
353. We're going to a hospital.
We're not going trick-or-treating.
Copy !req
354. Hi, Ashley.
Mike McLintock, Vice President's office.
Copy !req
355. - Oh, hi.
- Madam Vice President...
Copy !req
356. - Yes.
- ... this is Ashley, the hospital administrator.
Copy !req
357. - Ashley.
- Thank you so much for coming.
Copy !req
358. - It really means a lot. Thank you.
- Well, let me tell you something,
Copy !req
359. being here for the American people
is one of the privileges of this job.
Copy !req
360. - It's a sad privilege, of course.
- Yes.
Copy !req
361. But it's a privilege nonetheless.
Copy !req
362. Ma'am, I don't know
if all these people are bereaving,
Copy !req
363. - so just converse generally, okay?
- Right.
Copy !req
364. Converse generally? What about?
The weather?
Copy !req
365. Not about the weather.
Copy !req
366. - It is unseasonably warm, though, okay?
- Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
367. So, Madam Vice President,
if you'll just come with me,
Copy !req
368. I'll show you to some of our families.
Copy !req
369. Oh, well, however I can be of service.
How do you do, sir?
Copy !req
370. Oh, my goodness, you got so hurt.
Copy !req
371. - Well, it's a great hospital, isn't it?
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
372. Oh, dear, look at your neck.
Copy !req
373. Hi, sir. Don't turn your head.
Copy !req
374. I'll give you a little squeeze on your hand.
Copy !req
375. - Well, you seem just fine.
- I'm not really.
Copy !req
376. - lnternal.
- lnternal. Hmm.
Copy !req
377. This is a family.
They're waiting to hear about their son.
Copy !req
378. Hold on. No, no, not yet.
This is a private moment.
Copy !req
379. This is not a photo op.
Copy !req
380. - It's amazing how the world changes.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
381. One minute, you're enjoying
this amazing sunshine...
Copy !req
382. Well, it's unseasonably warm.
Copy !req
383. And the next,
your whole world's gone to pieces.
Copy !req
384. - Oh, gosh.
- This is his surgeon.
Copy !req
385. - How do you do, sir?
- Dr. Greybear.
Copy !req
386. Any news, Doctor, about our son?
Copy !req
387. - Sam's going to make it.
- (ALL GASP)
Copy !req
388. Okay, guys, I got a little sound bite
for y'all to nibble on right here.
Copy !req
389. - Oh, that is just fantastic.
- MlKE: Very good.
Copy !req
390. - Doctor, we appreciate your hard work.
- MlKE: Good news.
Copy !req
391. I just wanna say how grateful we are
Copy !req
392. to all of our most capable doctors and nurses.
Copy !req
393. So grateful.
Copy !req
394. And I'd also like to say if, for some reason,
Copy !req
395. we find out that there was negligence
that caused this accident,
Copy !req
396. those who are responsible
Copy !req
397. are gonna have the White House to answer to.
Copy !req
398. That's right.
Copy !req
399. Thank you for being here,
Madam Vice President.
Copy !req
400. - You are a good woman.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
401. And you're not afraid
to say what's on your mind.
Copy !req
402. Danny Chung...
Copy !req
403. I always try to speak as honestly as I can.
Copy !req
404. I heard what you said
about those people.
Copy !req
405. - You'd get my vote.
- And my vote.
Copy !req
406. 'Cause technically
he's not an American.
Copy !req
407. I mean...
Copy !req
408. They're taking over our ports.
It's like they've invaded us.
Copy !req
409. Yeah, and now they think
they can be President? No way!
Copy !req
410. Come on, this is the White House,
not the Yellow House.
Copy !req
411. Come on, Selina!
Copy !req
412. (CHANTlNG) USA! USA! USA!
Copy !req
413. USA! USA! USA!
Copy !req
414. You have to get Chung
on the phone right away, Amy.
Copy !req
415. - Shut this thing down, Amy.
- Yeah, dialing now.
Copy !req
416. - Here, he's picking up.
- What? l...
Copy !req
417. Oh, hello. Hi.
Yes, I have the Vice President for you.
Copy !req
418. Governor? Hi. How are you?
Copy !req
419. I don't... I don't know if you
saw the footage today
Copy !req
420. from Meet the Press,
Copy !req
421. but, you know, that is not what I meant
and it certainly isn't what I think.
Copy !req
422. - Gary, the belt can wait.
- Let's just put it this way...
Copy !req
423. What I was trying to say was...
Copy !req
424. Jesus Christ! Oh, my God!
Copy !req
425. God.
Copy !req
426. Gary, that was my fucking
flesh that you just...
Copy !req
427. - Hello?
- ... trapped in there.
Copy !req
428. - Voice mail. Keep trying.
- I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
429. - All right, that's enough.
- Okay.
Copy !req
430. All I am saying is
that if Senator Doyle pulls that meeting,
Copy !req
431. there is not gonna be a lot
of availability for a while.
Copy !req
432. Jennifer, quite frankly,
I had more windows in my first apartment
Copy !req
433. than the VP currently has in her schedule.
Copy !req
434. - What's going on?
- Well, you know what?
Copy !req
435. if Governor Chung doesn't call back,
Copy !req
436. I can just take him down
for disrespecting the office.
Copy !req
437. - How about that?
- Yes.
Copy !req
438. We just lost the numbers on filibuster reform.
Copy !req
439. - What did you just say?
- Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
440. Senator Doyle has
just withdrawn his support.
Copy !req
441. Something Amy said at Chung's book launch.
Copy !req
442. He was still upset about Clean Jobs,
which is on you, Dan,
Copy !req
443. because you put Sidney Purcell
on the task force.
Copy !req
444. Oh, sure! You know what?
I blame George Washington.
Copy !req
445. if he hadn't started this whole form of
government, then we wouldn't...
Copy !req
446. Okay. Okay, stop squabbling!
Copy !req
447. What am I supposed to do now? Tell me that.
Copy !req
448. I'm supposed to call Doyle
and beg him to come back?
Copy !req
449. I'm the Vice President of the United States,
you stupid little fuckers!
Copy !req
450. These people should be begging me!
Copy !req
451. That door should be half its height
Copy !req
452. so that people can
only approach me in my office
Copy !req
453. on their goddamn motherfucking knees.
Copy !req
454. I can't lose Doyle.
Who else has a bucketful of senators?
Copy !req
455. Cut Doyle loose, all right? Call his bluff.
Copy !req
456. We reach across the aisle
to the immigration reform caucus.
Copy !req
457. - What?
- You want to break out
Copy !req
458. the white, pointy hoods, too, ma'am?
Copy !req
459. Look, we throw them a few commitments
to their cause
Copy !req
460. in exchange for support on filibuster reform.
This is easy.
Copy !req
461. Once you go down that dark country road,
Copy !req
462. the lights go out
and the scarecrows come to life.
Copy !req
463. Yeah, anyone hear the banjo music?
Copy !req
464. Look, Mike, that's what you always hear
Copy !req
465. because mentally you're in
a fucking hammock on a back porch.
Copy !req
466. Dan, this isn't fantasy politics.
Copy !req
467. Stop it! Stop it!
Copy !req
468. This is a win for you on Senate reform
Copy !req
469. and it's also another big win for you
with the President on immigration, all right?
Copy !req
470. Win big, win big.
Copy !req
471. I don't know, maybe you and Dan
should go down and talk to...
Copy !req
472. God damn it...
Copy !req
473. The senator from Arizona.
Copy !req
474. The one who wants to
random search people in ponchos?
Copy !req
475. - Oh, Bill.
- O'Brien. Yeah.
Copy !req
476. Yeah. He's got a lot of sway
with the pro-Caucasian caucus.
Copy !req
477. All right, so we get O'Brien,
who brings us McCaulay and Cunliffe.
Copy !req
478. ls McCaulay the one
with the nose hair problem
Copy !req
479. like he's got two raccoons in his nostrils?
Copy !req
480. That's seven to Doyle's five.
I mean, this is a filibuster slam dunk.
Copy !req
481. - Chung is on TV live.
- What?
Copy !req
482. - Get it on. Get it on.
- Where's the remote?
Copy !req
483. It's in the bowl. The remote's in the bowl.
Copy !req
484. Sue, where's the clicker?
Copy !req
485. - Where's the clicker?
- Guys, it's in the credenza.
Copy !req
486. Get it. Quick, quick, quick.
Copy !req
487. - What channel? Channel?
- Any live TV.
Copy !req
488. Mike... No, Mike. Don't touch that remote.
Copy !req
489. You're gonna launch
a nuke or something. Sue?
Copy !req
490. a few briefwords about
the comments that were made earlier today.
Copy !req
491. Despite what is said
in some dark corners of the Internet,
Copy !req
492. when I was born, both my parents
were fully naturalized American citizens.
Copy !req
493. What? He's Captain fucking America?
Copy !req
494. - What's happening here? Good job, Amy.
- It's not...
Copy !req
495. That is not the information
I was given by Scott.
Copy !req
496. a quiet word with one of her staff
Copy !req
497. regarding the thoroughness
of their research techniques.
Copy !req
498. What did Scott use as a research tool,
the fucking Drudge Report?
Copy !req
499. second-generation Chinese-American...
Copy !req
500. That and bathroom walls.
Copy !req
501. proud enough to risk my life
for this country.
Copy !req
502. I've got a Purple Heart on my chest,
Copy !req
503. but the one that beats inside of me
is red, white, and blue.
Copy !req
504. No, he didn't. He didn't say that.
Copy !req
505. He is seizing his moment.
Copy !req
506. and that's why this
is the greatest country on Earth.
Copy !req
507. I am gonna throw up a leg.
Copy !req
508. And then I'm gonna take that leg
and I'm gonna beat Scott to death with it.
Copy !req
509. - Scott!
- Ah!
Copy !req
510. I'm gonna go draft a letter of apology
to the king of Minnesota, Governor Chung.
Copy !req
511. Here's what we're gonna do.
Copy !req
512. Mike, big fat apology to Chung,
Amy, fuck Doyle.
Copy !req
513. I want this bill.
Copy !req
514. You guys talk to O'Brien
and get that border caucus.
Copy !req
515. Amy, put on your dancing shoes
and head for the border right now.
Copy !req
516. - Go on.
- No, I'm not doing it.
Copy !req
517. Get a move on.
Copy !req
518. This is them.
Copy !req
519. Here we go.
Copy !req
520. Hi, Senator O'Brien. I'm Dan Egan.
Copy !req
521. We spoke on the phone.
A pleasure to meet you, sir.
Copy !req
522. Well, I have no idea who you are,
so I don't know whether it's a pleasure or not.
Copy !req
523. - Okay.
- This is Jack.
Copy !req
524. - Hi, Jack.
- Hi.
Copy !req
525. Amy Brookheimer,
Vice President's Chief of Staff.
Copy !req
526. Chief?
Copy !req
527. Shouldn't that be chiefess?
Copy !req
528. - Relax, missy. I'm just yanking your chain.
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
529. - This place looks nice, huh?
- Looks like they do a mighty fine plate of ribs,
Copy !req
530. but before we do any ordering,
Copy !req
531. I'd like to know if you're going to offend us
with some chicken-shit deal
Copy !req
532. that means we have to leave
before the food comes.
Copy !req
533. You're fine to order.
Copy !req
534. I feel so horrible.
Copy !req
535. You know, it's like
I've ordered a hit on somebody.
Copy !req
536. I'm just waiting for the call
to say that it's done.
Copy !req
537. It's done.
Copy !req
538. Do you want a glass of wine?
You want some water?
Copy !req
539. - You want some hand sanitizer?
- I want quiet.
Copy !req
540. Quiet.
Copy !req
541. So long, Scott. You are professionally dead.
Have a nice evening.
Copy !req
542. Up here on the eastern seaboard,
Copy !req
543. it's easy to forget
what a big slice of our country
Copy !req
544. rubs shoulders with a failed state
by the name of Mexico.
Copy !req
545. Now, if you had bad neighbors
who came into your yard every night
Copy !req
546. to crap a butt-full of drugs
and beans on your flowers,
Copy !req
547. you might think about building a fence.
Copy !req
548. You're not gonna get a border fence, all right?
Copy !req
549. You're talking about a 3,000-mile-long fence.
Copy !req
550. Great for the construction industry.
Copy !req
551. Yeah, but ironically,
the only affordable option
Copy !req
552. would be immigrant labor.
Copy !req
553. Well, my constituents are fed up
Copy !req
554. with feeling outnumbered
in their own country.
Copy !req
555. Fellas, we shouldn't have a problem
Copy !req
556. working to preserve
a certain kind ofAmerican identity.
Copy !req
557. Yes.
Copy !req
558. Now you keep talking like that, sweetheart,
Copy !req
559. and we'll be having cigars
at the end of this dinner.
Copy !req
560. Just not Cuban ones.
Copy !req
561. Hey.
Copy !req
562. Oh, my God,
Copy !req
563. - I am having the shittiest day.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
564. You got anything to make me feel better?
Copy !req
565. I do indeed.
Copy !req
566. - What is it?
- Well...
Copy !req
567. It's about seven inches,
hangs between my legs...
Copy !req
568. The thing.
Copy !req
569. I like to call him Sergeant Ted.
Copy !req
570. Okay, well, you tell Sergeant Ted
Copy !req
571. I would like him very much
Copy !req
572. to drill me in my Oval Office.
Copy !req
573. In fact, I need him to put the finger
on the button
Copy !req
574. and come into my Rose Garden.
Copy !req
575. The sergeant is standing at attention.
Copy !req
576. You know what,
I'm coming over there, like, right away.
Copy !req
577. Uh, you know, when you come over,
Copy !req
578. can you try and sneak in incognito?
Copy !req
579. I got Korean neighbors and I don't think
they'd like the idea of me dating you.
Copy !req
580. Is that some kind of a joke or something?
Copy !req
581. It's not funny at all. Fuck off, Ted.
Copy !req
582. I mean, I don't know why you would say...
Copy !req
583. - You were on the phone?
- Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
584. - Oh, I didn't hear anything.
- You better not have heard anything.
Copy !req
585. I didn't say anything.
Copy !req
586. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
587. Oh, for fuck sakes. Hey, Jonah.
Copy !req
588. What happened to your hot pants?
Copy !req
589. Oh, the hot pants picked up
some negative traction.
Copy !req
590. I realize now they're unbecoming of my office.
Copy !req
591. I'm just coming in to see
if the misunderstanding
Copy !req
592. with Governor Chung has been resolved.
Copy !req
593. - Yeah. It's all fine and dandy and fabulous.
- Excellent.
Copy !req
594. Well, then, I'm gonna
go enjoy what's left of my Sunday.
Copy !req
595. I got the latest Grisham on the go
and it's just awesome.
Copy !req
596. You should read...
Copy !req
597. As well as the funding request,
Copy !req
598. we can offer a commitment
that the Vice President will oppose immunity
Copy !req
599. for any illegal immigrants
who have been here for more than five years.
Copy !req
600. Well, now you're singing
a tune that we may dance to.
Copy !req
601. - Well, we just...
- And she will lobby the President
Copy !req
602. and express public support for your position.
Copy !req
603. All right, I'm going home.
Copy !req
604. I'm getting fucked every which way.
Copy !req
605. - Sue, did the President call?
- No.
Copy !req
606. if you can deliver that,
I will appear to love filibuster reform
Copy !req
607. as much as I appear to love my idiot son.
Copy !req
608. And for my wife's sake,
Copy !req
609. I appear to love that wretched shitnit a lot.
Copy !req
610. Good night. Let's go, Jack.
Copy !req
611. Good to see you guys could learn
a new word today, compromise.
Copy !req
612. What do you say? Meet me halfway?
Copy !req
613. Whew!
Copy !req
614. I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight.
Copy !req
615. That was fucking dark.
Copy !req
616. You've gone up 10 levels
in my estimation, by the way.
Copy !req
617. Which means I've gone down 100 in my own.
Copy !req
618. Sometimes you've gotta go down to go up.
Copy !req
619. I am taking the credit for this.
Copy !req
620. I tunnelled through the shit,
I get the dirty glory.
Copy !req
621. It is me who tells Selina the good news.
Copy !req
622. Where is the Vice President?
Copy !req
623. - She has gone home for the evening.
- Why?
Copy !req
624. Something about
"getting fucked every which way."
Copy !req
625. Direct quote.
Copy !req
626. Oh, God, yeah.
I heard something on the phone.
Copy !req
627. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Copy !req
628. How many times can she be underneath that?
Copy !req
629. She's got such a little body
and he seemed like a big man.
Copy !req
630. Who? Who's he?
Copy !req
631. Hey, hey, somebody
talk about something else? Anything.
Copy !req
632. Yeah, I gotta get these images out of my head.
Copy !req
633. Can we talk about, I don't know,
our favorite band or something, please?
Copy !req
634. Yes. Who else are you into, Mike,
apart from the Eagles?
Copy !req
635. Grateful Dead.
Copy !req
636. That's the name of
your favorite whorehouse, too, right?
Copy !req
637. Can't wait to get home and burn my clothes.
Copy !req
638. Don't fuck up that suit, Mike.
Copy !req
639. - All right, good night, Sue.
- Good night, Gary.
Copy !req
640. Good night, Dan.
Copy !req
641. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
642. Dan, you have about 10 seconds
to stop distracting me,
Copy !req
643. or the next thing that they'll find
at the back of that couch
Copy !req
644. are your remains.
Copy !req
645. if you like, I can go sit
in the Vice President's office.
Copy !req
646. Excuse me?
Copy !req
