00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:06,374
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:09,177
SANTOS:
America has lost
a giant tonight,
3
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:10,944
and I've lost a friend.
4
00:00:10,978 --> 00:00:12,046
He died.
5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,182
Leo's dead.
6
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:16,050
Undecideds all over California
7
00:00:16,084 --> 00:00:17,851
are driving to the polls
right now.
8
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,453
SANTOS:
For those of you
9
00:00:19,487 --> 00:00:22,456
who have not yet voted,
it is the only thing
10
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:24,858
that should matter when you go
to the polls tonight.
11
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:27,195
I am not naming a new running
mate in the next five minutes.
12
00:00:27,228 --> 00:00:29,430
Leo was on the ballot;
and if I win, he wins.
13
00:00:29,463 --> 00:00:31,265
( crowd cheering nearby )
We just won Oregon.
14
00:00:31,299 --> 00:00:33,201
Get the president-elect
on the phone.
15
00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:34,568
I want to congratulate him.
16
00:00:34,602 --> 00:00:37,338
( cheering wildly )
17
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:44,745
MAN:
"I am the resurrection
and the life," saith the Lord.
18
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:47,047
"He that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
19
00:00:47,081 --> 00:00:49,217
"yet shall he live.
20
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:51,585
"And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
21
00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:53,254
shall never die."
22
00:00:54,322 --> 00:00:56,690
I know that my Redeemer liveth,
23
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:59,026
and that he shall stand
at the latter day
24
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,329
upon the earth.
25
00:01:01,362 --> 00:01:03,097
And though this body
be destroyed,
26
00:01:03,131 --> 00:01:06,300
yet shall I see God,
whom I shall see for myself
27
00:01:06,334 --> 00:01:10,538
and mine eyes shall behold,
and not as a stranger,
28
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:13,040
for none of us liveth
to himself,
29
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:14,675
and no man dieth to himself,
30
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,710
for if we live,
we live unto the Lord.
31
00:01:16,744 --> 00:01:20,348
And if we die, we die
unto the Lord.
32
00:01:20,381 --> 00:01:24,318
Whether we live, therefore,
or die, we are the Lord's.
33
00:01:24,352 --> 00:01:28,021
Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord;
34
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:32,993
even so saith the Spirit, for
they rest from their labors.
35
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:34,128
The Lord be with you.
36
00:01:34,162 --> 00:01:36,530
Let us pray.
37
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:39,400
Almighty God, we thank thee
that in thy great love
38
00:01:39,433 --> 00:01:42,703
thou hast fed us with
the spiritual food and drink
39
00:01:42,736 --> 00:01:45,839
of the Body and Blood
of thy Son, Jesus Christ,
40
00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:49,243
And hast given unto us a taste
of thy heavenly banquet.
41
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:52,346
Grant that this sacrament
may be unto us
42
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:55,616
a comfort in affliction
and a pledge of our inheritance
43
00:01:55,649 --> 00:01:56,884
in that kingdom
44
00:01:56,917 --> 00:02:01,489
where there is no death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
45
00:02:01,522 --> 00:02:05,092
but the fullness of joy
with all thy saints,
46
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,861
through Jesus Christ our Savior.
47
00:02:07,895 --> 00:02:09,163
ALL:
Amen.
48
00:02:09,197 --> 00:02:10,231
Give rest, oh, Christ,
49
00:02:10,264 --> 00:02:14,202
to thy servant with thy saints,
50
00:02:14,235 --> 00:02:17,605
where sorrow and pain
are no more, neither sighing,
51
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:20,040
but life everlasting.
52
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:22,142
Thou only art immortal,
53
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:24,678
the creator and maker
of mankind;
54
00:02:24,712 --> 00:02:26,514
and we are mortal,
55
00:02:26,547 --> 00:02:31,719
formed of the earth,
and unto earth shall we return.
56
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:35,656
For so thou didst ordain
when thou created me, saying,
57
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:40,228
"Dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return."
58
00:02:40,261 --> 00:02:42,996
All go down to the dust,
59
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:45,165
yet even at the grave
60
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,268
we make our song.
61
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:51,539
Alleluia, alleluia,
62
00:02:51,572 --> 00:02:54,508
alleluia.
63
00:02:54,542 --> 00:02:57,645
Give rest, oh, Christ, to thy
servant with thy saints,
64
00:02:57,678 --> 00:03:00,080
where sorrow and pain
are no more,
65
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:03,617
neither sighing,
but life everlasting.
66
00:03:03,651 --> 00:03:06,920
Into thy hands,
oh, merciful Savior,
67
00:03:06,954 --> 00:03:09,523
we commend thy servant, Leo.
68
00:03:09,557 --> 00:03:11,325
Acknowledge,
we humbly beseech thee,
69
00:03:11,359 --> 00:03:16,430
a sheep of thine own fold,
a lamb of thine own flock,
70
00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:19,233
a sinner of thine own redeeming.
71
00:03:19,267 --> 00:03:22,736
Receive him into the arms
of thy mercy,
72
00:03:22,770 --> 00:03:25,473
into the blessed rest
of everlasting peace,
73
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:28,075
and into the glorious company
74
00:03:28,108 --> 00:03:30,911
of the saints in life.
75
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:33,180
Amen.
76
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,816
Let us go forth
in the name of Christ.
77
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:37,718
Thanks be to God.
78
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:52,466
( choir sustaining note )
79
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,436
( taps clanging in sync )
80
00:03:55,469 --> 00:03:58,439
( choir singing celestial hymn)
81
00:04:14,955 --> 00:04:18,859
( song continues )
82
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:50,391
*
83
00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:13,441
Hey.
84
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:17,210
SANTOS:
Thank you.
85
00:06:17,244 --> 00:06:18,846
The President
invited some people
86
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:20,748
over to the White House
later, after Arlington.
87
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:21,782
C.J. told us.
88
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:23,383
You got a pretty busy
schedule this afternoon.
89
00:06:23,417 --> 00:06:24,985
We'll move things around,
and get over there.
90
00:06:25,018 --> 00:06:26,319
Speaker's race is heating up.
91
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:27,488
How many are in it now?
92
00:06:27,521 --> 00:06:29,523
Three, if you
count Marino.
93
00:06:29,557 --> 00:06:30,624
Let's call it
two and a half.
94
00:06:30,658 --> 00:06:31,959
What's wrong
with Marino?
95
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:33,694
Nothing a good hair weave
can't cure.
96
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,996
The world
needs welterweights, too.
97
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:37,097
Thank you.
98
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:40,734
And Congressman Fields wants
five minutes this afternoon.
99
00:06:40,768 --> 00:06:42,035
We're from neighboring
districts.
100
00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:44,071
When I was Mayor of Houston,
I practically camped
101
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:45,105
outside his office
for federal aid.
102
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:47,174
GOODWIN:
Last Whip count,
Fields had a slight edge
103
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:48,476
over Sellner.
104
00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:50,544
If there's any way
we could solidify that...
105
00:06:50,578 --> 00:06:53,146
Sellner's got a few
whips to crack, too,
106
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:54,414
if you're sitting
with Fields.
107
00:06:54,448 --> 00:06:56,049
Yeah, I need five minutes
with Sellner, too.
108
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:58,085
What about Marino?
If this were
a game show,
109
00:06:58,118 --> 00:07:00,554
this is when we'd hand him
his lovely parting gift.
110
00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:01,555
I'll see you at Arlington.
111
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:02,823
All right, Barry.
112
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:04,257
I'll talk to you later on
in the afternoon.
113
00:07:04,291 --> 00:07:07,495
We should be careful about
meddling in a speakership race.
114
00:07:07,528 --> 00:07:09,262
I served in the House.
115
00:07:09,296 --> 00:07:11,799
We'll just tick off the loser
and anyone who supported him.
116
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:13,701
Fields practically moved
back to Texas
117
00:07:13,734 --> 00:07:15,869
to help us with the campaign
for the last three months.
118
00:07:15,903 --> 00:07:17,571
Sellner voted
with the Republicans
119
00:07:17,605 --> 00:07:19,773
on vouchers, on tort reform.
120
00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:21,675
You want to keep your
oar out of the water.
121
00:07:21,709 --> 00:07:23,410
One of them is going
to be the next speaker.
122
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,545
Left, right, or center,
123
00:07:24,578 --> 00:07:25,846
you're gonna have
to work with him.
124
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,915
We're being
inundated with calls
125
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,082
about who you're gonna
name as vice president,
126
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:31,985
résumés for cabinet,
sub-cabinet positions.
127
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:33,286
That's what I was speaking
to Barry about.
128
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,788
Barry Goodwin?
129
00:07:34,822 --> 00:07:36,690
I asked if he was willing
to do it, and he said yes.
130
00:07:36,724 --> 00:07:38,826
To head the
transition team?
Yep.
131
00:07:38,859 --> 00:07:41,428
MAN:
Sir, we're ready for you.
132
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,363
He's got
some great ideas, Josh.
133
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:46,066
Find a few minutes,
and have him fill you in.
134
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:58,078
That was a
beautiful service.
135
00:07:58,111 --> 00:08:01,749
I'm just waiting for the press
outside to pack up and leave.
136
00:08:02,616 --> 00:08:05,018
You coming to Arlington?
137
00:08:05,052 --> 00:08:07,688
Is that you asking
or somebody else?
138
00:08:09,557 --> 00:08:11,191
Relax, Charlie,
139
00:08:11,224 --> 00:08:12,860
tell C.J. I'm not coming.
140
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:15,095
I'd like to,
but I have other commitments.
141
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:16,930
Sure.
142
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:20,100
I'll walk with you.
143
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:23,671
I don't think a picture
of you and me
144
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:25,706
makes the front page
of the New York Times.
145
00:08:25,739 --> 00:08:27,240
Do you?
146
00:08:37,284 --> 00:08:39,787
ABBEY:
I told Mallory that we'd
147
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:44,625
go by her mother's house
for a few minutes.
148
00:08:44,658 --> 00:08:49,763
She seemed okay,
given everything.
149
00:08:49,797 --> 00:08:52,299
Did you see Toby
in the back?
150
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:56,870
Yeah.
151
00:08:56,904 --> 00:08:59,472
He would have hated
this, don't you think?
152
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:01,942
He would have been mortified
153
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:06,146
that we'd gone
to all that trouble.
154
00:09:06,179 --> 00:09:08,649
Jed?
155
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:17,324
JOSH:
We only got in here yesterday,
156
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:19,827
so we haven't had a chance
to get organized yet.
157
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:21,161
Hello.
158
00:09:21,194 --> 00:09:23,664
Hey.
Thanks.
159
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,132
Thanks, everybody.
160
00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:26,266
Thanks. Please.
161
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,501
All right, now, stop that, now.
162
00:09:28,535 --> 00:09:29,737
Go on, now!
163
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:31,338
Everybody back to work.
164
00:09:31,371 --> 00:09:32,773
We don't get into
the West Wing
165
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:35,342
until after the inaugural,
but we can see it out the window
166
00:09:35,375 --> 00:09:36,877
so Dave's gonna
keep an eye out,
167
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,212
make sure nobody makes
off with our FBI files
168
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:40,380
before we get in there.
169
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:43,116
This is you.
170
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:51,759
This'll do.
171
00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:53,894
OTTO:
The Director
of the National Gallery called,
172
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:56,096
if you want to pick out
stuff for the walls.
173
00:09:58,165 --> 00:09:59,332
You got my messages?
174
00:09:59,366 --> 00:10:01,468
JOSH:
Uh, I vet those first,
175
00:10:01,501 --> 00:10:03,370
figure out who you
need to respond to.
176
00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:04,772
Oh, no, that's okay,
I'll do it.
177
00:10:04,805 --> 00:10:07,641
Uh, how many do we have
so far this morning?
178
00:10:07,675 --> 00:10:10,077
About 1,200.
179
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:12,612
Let me know
when you get through the A's.
180
00:10:12,646 --> 00:10:14,214
Thanks.
181
00:10:16,684 --> 00:10:19,653
What do you think about Swain
for defense secretary?
182
00:10:19,687 --> 00:10:21,321
Senator Swain of Rhode Island?
183
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:22,489
Yeah.
184
00:10:22,522 --> 00:10:23,724
Service academies love him.
185
00:10:23,757 --> 00:10:25,759
Really shook things up
as Secretary of the Navy.
186
00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:26,827
He's a Republican.
187
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:28,829
A little bipartisanship
would kill us?
188
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:30,898
It's going to be seen
as a political grab.
189
00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:33,200
We offer a cabinet position
to a Republican
190
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:34,401
who can't possibly take it?
191
00:10:35,669 --> 00:10:38,371
Barry thought
it was a good idea.
192
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:42,375
Well, Barry is wrong.
193
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,246
Are you unhappy
with Barry Goodwin
194
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:47,681
as head of the transition team?
195
00:10:47,715 --> 00:10:52,085
I'm unhappy with him as de facto
congressional liaison.
196
00:10:52,119 --> 00:10:53,687
There is an advantage
to letting Barry
197
00:10:53,721 --> 00:10:55,088
handle the transition.
198
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:57,858
It keeps you from having to say
no to all those people
199
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,827
that you're going to need
when you're Chief of Staff.
200
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:00,828
( knock at door )
201
00:11:00,861 --> 00:11:02,329
Congressman Fields
is here.
202
00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:04,998
Thanks, I'll be right with him.
203
00:11:07,768 --> 00:11:09,102
( scoffs )
204
00:11:09,136 --> 00:11:10,704
I served in the House
for six years.
205
00:11:10,738 --> 00:11:12,639
I think I can handle
ten minutes alone
206
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,407
with one of my closest friends
in Congress.
207
00:11:15,642 --> 00:11:17,811
Thank you, sir.
208
00:11:20,047 --> 00:11:21,982
MARGARET:
Weren't the flowers gorgeous?
209
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:23,150
Yeah.
210
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,818
Leo loved gardenias.
211
00:11:24,852 --> 00:11:26,653
We should try to
catch up on calls
212
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:27,687
before this
thing starts.
213
00:11:27,721 --> 00:11:29,056
Daley, Hutchinson,
214
00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:31,691
see if Ambassador Klein
is still awake in Berlin.
215
00:11:34,061 --> 00:11:35,328
( sighs )
216
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:36,329
( knocking )
217
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:37,130
How you doing?
218
00:11:37,164 --> 00:11:38,665
Oh, okay.
219
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,067
Sorry, I'm losing stuff today.
220
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:41,101
I'm fine.
221
00:11:41,134 --> 00:11:41,969
You?
Fine.
222
00:11:42,002 --> 00:11:43,771
I'm a little early
for the thing.
223
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:44,805
What time does
it start?
4:00.
224
00:11:44,838 --> 00:11:46,206
So, 2 1/2 hours?
225
00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:47,307
More like three.
226
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:49,309
Well, I wanted to make sure
I wasn't late.
227
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:51,578
That was a nice service.
228
00:11:51,611 --> 00:11:52,679
Beautiful.
229
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:53,947
Majority Leader had
his fly down.
230
00:11:53,981 --> 00:11:55,582
Did he?
I was gonna tell him,
231
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:56,549
except I never
really liked him,
232
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:57,918
so I decided it was okay.
233
00:11:57,951 --> 00:12:00,854
I'm sorry I didn't catch
you at the cathedral.
234
00:12:00,888 --> 00:12:02,756
Don't worry about it,
you were swamped.
235
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:04,624
Everyone keeps thinking
I have something to say,
236
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:06,493
and I don't seem to be
coming up with anything.
237
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:07,494
You don't have to.
238
00:12:08,962 --> 00:12:12,099
Actually, I came early
because I was hoping
239
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:14,734
we could get a minute to talk
before the masses descend.
240
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:16,403
Yeah? Me, too.
241
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:17,437
Really?
242
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:22,275
Shoot.
243
00:12:22,309 --> 00:12:23,911
Me, first?
Why do I have to go first?
244
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:25,578
I don't know, I just...
245
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:26,579
You, uh...
246
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:27,948
Okay.
247
00:12:27,981 --> 00:12:28,849
Well.
248
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:31,151
You know when I came over
Wednesday night,
249
00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:34,421
and it was late and we didn't
really talk, we just...
250
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:36,556
I have a vague
recollection.
251
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:38,291
Did that make you
feel bad?
252
00:12:38,325 --> 00:12:39,626
Bad in a...
253
00:12:39,659 --> 00:12:40,627
In a what?
254
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,662
You know... used.
255
00:12:42,695 --> 00:12:43,696
For my body?
256
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:45,732
Something like that.
257
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:46,666
I'll work through it.
258
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:48,468
You sure?
259
00:12:48,501 --> 00:12:50,270
It happens;
women want me.
260
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,772
It's just, I know we have
a lot to talk about,
261
00:12:52,806 --> 00:12:54,908
and I don't want
to leapfrog any of it,
262
00:12:54,942 --> 00:12:56,743
but it was kind of
wonderful to just...
263
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:57,477
Not talk.
264
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:58,879
Not even a little.
265
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:00,147
( both laughing )
266
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:03,116
You want to do it
again tonight, don't you?
267
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,818
I really do.
268
00:13:05,752 --> 00:13:08,221
I'll leave
the door open.
269
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,826
( door opens )
OTTO:
Congressman Fields.
270
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:15,528
Wonderful service
this morning.
271
00:13:15,562 --> 00:13:18,531
Not so much a funeral
as a celebration.
That's true.
272
00:13:18,565 --> 00:13:20,067
Makes me sad
I'll be missing my own.
273
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,235
And by just a few days.
( laughs )
274
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:23,403
Thanks, Otto.
275
00:13:23,436 --> 00:13:24,972
Sir.
276
00:13:26,373 --> 00:13:27,207
( sighs )
277
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,875
Mr. President.
278
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:31,344
Mr. Speaker.
Well.
279
00:13:31,378 --> 00:13:33,847
Hey, I can skip pages
on the calendar if you can.
280
00:13:33,881 --> 00:13:35,482
Now, I'm a few
pages short.
281
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,484
How's that?
282
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:39,052
I'm ten votes down.
283
00:13:39,086 --> 00:13:40,687
Sellner's pulled ahead.
284
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,456
Well, the last whip count
had you at 91,
285
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:44,757
Sellner can't have
more than 85.
286
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:46,726
He peeled away
Hughes and Fraser,
287
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,428
that brought him
six more blue dogs
288
00:13:48,461 --> 00:13:49,596
and now Schreibman's wavering.
289
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:51,631
So six of our most
conservative members
290
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,033
get to swing
the whole election?
291
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:55,135
Sellner's telling everybody
you're too liberal,
292
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:57,137
that I'd be
a White House lackey.
293
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,606
More like the other way around.
294
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,109
Half of my legislative agenda's
gonna come from you--
295
00:14:02,142 --> 00:14:03,810
the lobbying reforms,
Medicare expansion...
296
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,612
Well, now I need
something from you.
297
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:08,848
Segal flips
if you ask him.
298
00:14:08,882 --> 00:14:10,583
Blinken, Carney.
299
00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:13,220
Plus you got at least five votes
on the Hispanic Caucus.
300
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:15,889
I know how
it'll look:
301
00:14:15,923 --> 00:14:18,558
president-elect wading
into a leadership battle
302
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:19,826
to bail out an old friend.
303
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,661
That's how it'll look.
304
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:23,496
You give Sellner
that gavel,
305
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:24,932
and he'll drop it smack dab
306
00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:27,634
right in the middle of
your legislative skull.
307
00:14:34,942 --> 00:14:35,708
DONNA
Hey.
308
00:14:35,742 --> 00:14:36,977
Look at you.
309
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:38,778
Office with
your name on it.
310
00:14:38,811 --> 00:14:40,247
Yeah, got a door
and everything.
311
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,248
How's that feel?
312
00:14:41,281 --> 00:14:43,250
I never got above a cubicle
around here.
313
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:44,351
Feels great.
314
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:45,818
Not that it's
going to last long,
315
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:46,853
new sheriff's coming in town.
316
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,055
You talk to Josh?
317
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:48,989
I'm sure he'd be
happy to consider...
318
00:14:49,022 --> 00:14:50,223
What about you?
319
00:14:50,257 --> 00:14:52,125
Josh going to carve out
a little corner
320
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:53,126
for you
to settle into?
321
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,461
Oh, lots on his plate right now.
322
00:14:54,494 --> 00:14:55,395
He owes you big.
323
00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:56,729
Anything short of
Secretary of Commerce,
324
00:14:56,763 --> 00:14:57,897
you gotta challenge him
to a duel.
325
00:14:57,931 --> 00:14:59,432
Pistols or sabers?
326
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:01,101
I'm serious.
327
00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:02,402
He really hasn't
talked to you yet?
328
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:05,338
Election day was only
three days ago.
329
00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:09,776
It's complicated.
330
00:15:09,809 --> 00:15:12,512
You want me to slap him
around a bit?
331
00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:14,914
I can round up a few guys
from the old neighborhood.
332
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:18,986
People are starting to gather
in the lobby for the thing.
333
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:20,820
Josh really hasn't
asked you to...
334
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:21,989
Come on, Charlie.
335
00:15:22,022 --> 00:15:24,157
Buy a girl a drink.
336
00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:29,329
I'm not saying
it wouldn't be great
337
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:30,697
to have Fields
as the new Speaker.
338
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:31,798
Look, I know it's risky
339
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,000
to monkey around
with leadership elections.
340
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:34,401
"Risky" is not the word.
341
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:36,369
Blackjack is risky,
stock-picking is risky...
342
00:15:36,403 --> 00:15:39,506
Yeah, well, I'm more of a
credit union kind of guy.
343
00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:41,208
Any scenario
loses us allies.
344
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:43,210
If you can conceivably
work with Sellner...
345
00:15:43,243 --> 00:15:46,146
If we're annexing a small Latin
American dictatorship, sure.
346
00:15:46,179 --> 00:15:47,514
( knocking )
Yeah.
347
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:48,515
( door opens )
348
00:15:50,017 --> 00:15:51,351
Congressman.
349
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:53,987
Mr. President-Elect,
like the sound of that.
350
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:56,289
Couple of too many syllables,
but, uh, I'll take it.
351
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:58,125
Josh.
Good to see you,
Congressman.
352
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:01,161
Wonderful service this morning.
353
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:02,595
More of a celebration, really.
354
00:16:03,997 --> 00:16:05,598
Never thought of it that way.
355
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:06,699
I'm gaining
on Fields.
356
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:07,900
You control
enough votes
357
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,236
to put him in
the Speakership,
358
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:10,470
but you're not
gonna do that.
359
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:12,805
We're not doing
any kind of whip count.
360
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:14,207
We're steering clear of that.
361
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:16,243
Let's talk about the issues.
362
00:16:16,276 --> 00:16:18,245
I won't take orders
from the White House,
363
00:16:18,278 --> 00:16:20,113
I won't have the caucus
dragged to the left,
364
00:16:20,147 --> 00:16:21,614
but you'll always
know what I'm doing.
365
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:24,084
And... a bill of yours dies,
you can blame it on me.
366
00:16:24,117 --> 00:16:26,186
Well, my bigger concern
is that a bill of mine
367
00:16:26,219 --> 00:16:27,820
might not make it
to the House floor.
368
00:16:27,854 --> 00:16:29,822
Try me.
Okay.
369
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:31,024
Lobbying reform.
370
00:16:31,058 --> 00:16:32,892
H.R. 1, first bill
I want you to take up.
371
00:16:32,925 --> 00:16:34,761
Now, we both know
372
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:37,197
my best chance to pass something
big is right out the gate.
373
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:38,465
And you want to waste
that chance
374
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:40,833
on a process issue
banning martini lunches.
375
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:42,769
I want to ban
all political donations
376
00:16:42,802 --> 00:16:44,071
by registered lobbyists.
377
00:16:44,104 --> 00:16:45,305
Great, so they'll just
turn around and demand
378
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:46,473
all their clients
write checks to...
379
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:49,076
And a ban on lobbyists
directing contributions
380
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:50,077
from their clients.
381
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:51,644
Lobbyists are going
to have to argue
382
00:16:51,678 --> 00:16:53,313
on the merits of their bills.
383
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,482
I could argue
it's unconstitutional:
384
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,050
money equals speech.
385
00:16:57,084 --> 00:16:58,418
But we don't allow bribery,
386
00:16:58,451 --> 00:17:00,587
that's speech
through money, too.
387
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,789
Which must be why you voted
for lobbying reform
388
00:17:02,822 --> 00:17:05,592
when Fields introduced it
three years ago.
( chuckles )
389
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:07,727
When we were in the minority,
you're damn right I did.
390
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,928
Now we're in the majority.
391
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:10,029
By four seats.
392
00:17:11,098 --> 00:17:12,532
We finally have
a fund-raising advantage,
393
00:17:12,565 --> 00:17:14,901
now's not the time
to switch the rules.
394
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:17,036
And how does
a process issue
395
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:18,571
help any of us...
396
00:17:18,605 --> 00:17:20,907
If we shut out insurance
industry lobbyists,
397
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:22,442
it helps us pass
health care reform.
398
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:24,577
If we shut out
drug company lobbyists,
399
00:17:24,611 --> 00:17:27,514
it helps us pass a real
prescription drug benefit.
400
00:17:27,547 --> 00:17:29,782
This is the bill that lets us
pass every other bill.
401
00:17:29,816 --> 00:17:31,384
Oh, you can push for it.
402
00:17:31,418 --> 00:17:33,886
I'll do my best to block it,
may the best man win.
403
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,055
If you end up as Speaker, sure.
404
00:17:37,324 --> 00:17:39,926
We're not implying that...
405
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:42,829
I'll have a majority to protect.
406
00:17:42,862 --> 00:17:45,565
If I end up as Speaker, that is.
407
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:48,835
You want me to blow
our best chance
408
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:51,304
to hold onto a Democratic
House-- first one in ten years--
409
00:17:51,338 --> 00:17:54,374
first bill out of the gate.
410
00:18:00,447 --> 00:18:02,182
I won't do it.
411
00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:11,358
Mr. President-Elect.
412
00:18:11,391 --> 00:18:15,395
I hope we'll have the chance
to work together.
413
00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:24,437
Set up a meeting
with Congressman Marino.
414
00:18:24,471 --> 00:18:26,906
You realize that Marino's got,
like, three votes.
415
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:29,409
I don't think I could get
Mrs. Marino to vote for him.
416
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,311
He is still a candidate
for Speaker.
417
00:18:31,344 --> 00:18:33,012
I throw my support behind him
418
00:18:33,045 --> 00:18:35,081
and I can't be accused
of backing an old pal.
419
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,849
You know, Sellner's
not a bad barometer
420
00:18:36,883 --> 00:18:38,518
of what the caucus is thinking.
Maybe.
421
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:40,320
But he's a bad barometer
of what I'm thinking.
422
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:41,588
Ten minutes with Marino.
423
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:48,695
( sighs )
424
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:54,234
Will.
425
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:55,235
Mr. Vice President.
426
00:18:55,268 --> 00:18:56,269
Beautiful service, wasn't it?
427
00:18:56,303 --> 00:18:57,504
Yes, sir,
it was.
428
00:18:57,537 --> 00:18:58,971
Just beautiful.
429
00:18:59,005 --> 00:19:00,173
Santos here?
430
00:19:00,207 --> 00:19:01,741
I haven't
seen him yet, no.
431
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:02,742
But he's coming?
432
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:03,743
So I'm told.
433
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:04,977
( sighs )
434
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:06,279
Fifty-eight.
435
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:08,481
Leo.
436
00:19:08,515 --> 00:19:10,283
Makes you think,
doesn't it?
437
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:11,918
I'm not that many years
behind him.
438
00:19:11,951 --> 00:19:13,553
I've already called
my cardiologist,
439
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:16,223
scheduled a
treadmill test, EKG.
440
00:19:16,256 --> 00:19:18,124
Probably time
to suck it up
441
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,559
and get that
colonoscopy, too.
442
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:22,795
Better safe than sorry, right?
443
00:19:26,766 --> 00:19:28,268
You look nice.
444
00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:30,237
I like to tart it up
for a funeral.
445
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:31,804
Hey, congratulations.
446
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:32,939
Don't think
I've said that.
447
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:33,973
Don't worry about it.
448
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:35,575
I mean, thanks,
but, yeah...
449
00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:38,177
things are getting a little
lost, understandably.
450
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:39,412
Well, you should
be proud, really.
451
00:19:39,446 --> 00:19:41,080
You guys ran
a hell of a campaign.
452
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,082
Hey, can I ask you
a favor?
Sure, shoot.
453
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:44,484
I sublet my apartment
454
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,453
to this very nervous woman
from Treasury,
455
00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:48,888
but according to the campaign
I'm done, so...
456
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:50,189
Oh, God, you're homeless.
457
00:19:50,223 --> 00:19:51,458
Can I crash at your place?
458
00:19:52,459 --> 00:19:53,226
Tonight?
459
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:55,061
I'll sleep on the couch.
460
00:19:55,094 --> 00:19:57,230
I'm quiet and clean--
like, obsessively.
461
00:19:57,264 --> 00:19:58,731
Of course.
No, sure.
462
00:19:58,765 --> 00:20:01,167
Not the couch, I've got a guest
room with a lot of crap in it,
463
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,134
but I'm sure there's
a bed in there somewhere.
464
00:20:02,168 --> 00:20:03,403
You're sure?
465
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:05,305
No, of course.
Any time.
466
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:07,307
I really appreciate it.
467
00:20:09,776 --> 00:20:11,844
( sighs )
468
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:16,148
Jed?
469
00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:18,418
Jed? Are you ready?
470
00:20:18,451 --> 00:20:19,552
What?
471
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:23,890
People are arriving
downstairs.
472
00:20:23,923 --> 00:20:25,592
We don't have to stay long.
473
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:29,028
You can just give me a signal,
we'll make a quiet exit.
474
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,397
Quiet exit?
475
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:31,531
Well, as quiet an exit
476
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:34,334
as the leader of
the free world can make.
477
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,341
( sighs )
478
00:20:44,143 --> 00:20:45,111
( knocking )
479
00:20:45,144 --> 00:20:47,079
Ronna?
480
00:20:47,113 --> 00:20:48,114
Congressman Marino is here.
481
00:20:48,147 --> 00:20:49,115
Yeah,
bring him in.
482
00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:49,916
Mr. President-Elect.
483
00:20:49,949 --> 00:20:50,917
Jim.
484
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:53,085
That was a remarkable
service this morning.
485
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,086
Really more of a...
486
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,187
Celebration.
487
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:57,056
Absolutely.
I thought so, too.
488
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:59,091
Let's talk about
your candidacy.
489
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:01,027
For... Speaker?
490
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:04,331
Well, you do realize you're
a candidate for the job.
491
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:07,467
But I'm a good 80 votes
behind Fields or Sellner--
492
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:09,001
the deficit hawks
talked me into this.
493
00:21:09,035 --> 00:21:10,503
I'm just running
to make a point.
494
00:21:10,537 --> 00:21:11,804
Hmm. What's your point?
495
00:21:11,838 --> 00:21:14,040
Well, I guess it's
the deficit hawks
496
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:15,342
who are trying
to make a point.
497
00:21:15,375 --> 00:21:17,009
About the deficit.
498
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:20,813
I suppose that
would be it, yeah.
499
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:26,419
What if Fields were
to drop out of the race,
500
00:21:26,453 --> 00:21:30,790
and, uh, you suddenly had
all of his votes
501
00:21:30,823 --> 00:21:31,891
plus about a dozen more.
502
00:21:31,924 --> 00:21:34,394
( laughs )
503
00:21:34,427 --> 00:21:36,729
Well, then I'd be the Speaker,
wouldn't I.
504
00:21:42,569 --> 00:21:44,303
You're not honestly...
505
00:21:44,337 --> 00:21:46,205
How would you react
to a big January push
506
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:49,075
for lobbying reform...
507
00:21:49,108 --> 00:21:51,678
a ban on all lobbyist donations?
508
00:21:51,711 --> 00:21:55,114
Has-has Fields got some
sort of health problem?
509
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,949
If you were the Speaker, Jim...
510
00:21:56,983 --> 00:21:59,652
Lobbying reforms.
511
00:21:59,686 --> 00:22:01,153
You got it.
512
00:22:01,187 --> 00:22:02,722
Even with a razor-thin majority?
513
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:04,424
There could be an issue
with the D-triple-C...
514
00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:05,825
I'd do cartwheels
on the rostrum...
515
00:22:05,858 --> 00:22:07,727
I-I-I'm not saying
that Fields is dropping out,
516
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,596
You name it;
I'll do it.
but there clearly is
517
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:12,732
a perception that he's
a... White House lackey.
518
00:22:28,247 --> 00:22:31,350
God, you're
a handsome devil.
519
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:34,721
You ready?
520
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:36,523
Yeah.
521
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:43,029
( sighs )
522
00:22:45,398 --> 00:22:47,900
Thank you. Hello.
523
00:22:47,934 --> 00:22:49,235
Danny, how are you?
524
00:22:49,268 --> 00:22:51,571
Good, thank you.
Why all the long faces?
525
00:22:51,604 --> 00:22:54,040
Leo would be furious to think
we were all standing around
526
00:22:54,073 --> 00:22:55,708
feeling sorry for ourselves.
527
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:58,077
We need some music.
Do we have any music?
528
00:22:58,110 --> 00:23:00,379
I-I have a CD player
in my office.
529
00:23:00,413 --> 00:23:02,214
That's the spirit.
530
00:23:02,248 --> 00:23:03,215
Hey, Debbie.
531
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:04,551
Sir.
532
00:23:04,584 --> 00:23:07,720
C.J. How you
holding up?
533
00:23:11,758 --> 00:23:13,726
Hey, kid.
534
00:23:14,927 --> 00:23:16,228
Leo loved you.
535
00:23:16,262 --> 00:23:17,730
You knew that, right?
536
00:23:17,764 --> 00:23:19,732
I don't know how he could
have done it without you.
537
00:23:19,766 --> 00:23:21,734
You remember that
trip to Seattle
538
00:23:21,768 --> 00:23:22,902
during the
first campaign,
539
00:23:22,935 --> 00:23:24,571
when he couldn't
find his umbrella,
540
00:23:24,604 --> 00:23:25,905
so you grabbed
a garbage can
541
00:23:25,938 --> 00:23:27,106
to hold over him?
542
00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:28,240
And it still had
garbage in it.
543
00:23:28,274 --> 00:23:29,408
( all laughing )
544
00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:30,910
Leo ended up
with a three-course meal
545
00:23:30,943 --> 00:23:32,244
on his head.
546
00:23:32,278 --> 00:23:34,080
Dry as a bone, though.
547
00:23:34,113 --> 00:23:35,414
PRESIDENT:
That Christmas,
548
00:23:35,448 --> 00:23:37,283
Abbey and I bought him
a new umbrella,
549
00:23:37,316 --> 00:23:39,085
and she bought him
a new garbage can.
550
00:23:39,118 --> 00:23:41,420
( all laughing )
551
00:23:45,858 --> 00:23:47,660
Hey.
Hi. Can I get
you a drink?
552
00:23:47,694 --> 00:23:50,830
Yes, but before
you spend your time
553
00:23:50,863 --> 00:23:52,532
getting me liquored up,
I should tell you...
554
00:23:52,565 --> 00:23:54,233
You're a virgin?
No.
555
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,502
Terminally ill?
556
00:23:55,535 --> 00:23:57,369
No, but what I
asked you before...
557
00:23:57,403 --> 00:23:59,138
When you propositioned me
for sex?
558
00:23:59,171 --> 00:24:01,207
Yeah. That's not
going to happen.
559
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:03,510
Donna Moss needs
a place to stay.
560
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:05,277
I told her
she could stay with me.
561
00:24:05,311 --> 00:24:06,345
Well, she can.
You won't be there.
562
00:24:06,378 --> 00:24:07,714
She can have the place
to herself.
563
00:24:07,747 --> 00:24:09,649
C.J.:
I can't do that.
Why not?
564
00:24:09,682 --> 00:24:11,150
Where will I tell
her I'm sleeping?
565
00:24:11,183 --> 00:24:12,952
Who cares what you tell her?
She'll ask,
and I'll have
566
00:24:12,985 --> 00:24:15,421
to come up with some
reason, and-and my
ears get red when I lie.
567
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:16,623
I stammer.
568
00:24:16,656 --> 00:24:17,957
She'll figure it out.
Are you seriously
569
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:19,759
telling me you're passing
on a night in my bed
570
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,861
because you don't know what
you're going to tell Donna Moss?
571
00:24:21,894 --> 00:24:24,096
It's not about Donna;
it's about the fact
that I'll spend the rest
572
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,932
of the afternoon
strategizing about
how to explain it,
573
00:24:25,965 --> 00:24:27,967
or not explain it,
or don't need to explain it,
574
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,369
or don't have an
explanation for it,
or even for myself.
575
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:31,370
I don't have
a definition
576
00:24:31,403 --> 00:24:32,505
or an understanding
of what it is
577
00:24:32,539 --> 00:24:33,906
or where it's going.
578
00:24:33,940 --> 00:24:35,708
I'll chew the question
over in my brain quietly,
579
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:37,243
while other people
are talking to me
580
00:24:37,276 --> 00:24:39,211
about death or
affairs of state.
581
00:24:39,245 --> 00:24:41,413
We've put this off
for seven years.
582
00:24:41,447 --> 00:24:42,682
This'll keep another night.
583
00:24:43,950 --> 00:24:44,784
Hi.
584
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:45,985
Hi.
585
00:24:46,018 --> 00:24:47,687
Good to see you.
586
00:24:50,857 --> 00:24:53,926
All hail the
conquering heroes!
587
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:02,902
Congratulations.
588
00:25:02,935 --> 00:25:04,637
I am so sorry
for your loss, sir.
589
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:06,673
It's a loss for
the entire country.
590
00:25:06,706 --> 00:25:08,007
Where's your lovely wife?
591
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,676
She had to get back to Houston
for the kids.
592
00:25:09,709 --> 00:25:12,545
Lots of changes
coming in your lives.
593
00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:15,214
Yeah... I'm starting
to gather.
594
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:20,553
AMY:
Hello, stranger.
595
00:25:21,387 --> 00:25:23,055
Thought I saw you.
596
00:25:23,089 --> 00:25:24,523
There was a crowd.
597
00:25:24,557 --> 00:25:26,225
I didn't want to hover.
598
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,660
You could have rescued me.
599
00:25:27,694 --> 00:25:29,028
I decided a
few years back
600
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:31,030
that was not an
efficient use of my time.
601
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:35,001
How you holding up?
602
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:36,569
Great.
603
00:25:36,603 --> 00:25:38,304
Can I steal you
for a minute?
604
00:25:43,009 --> 00:25:44,210
Hi.
605
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,411
Hi!
606
00:25:45,444 --> 00:25:47,714
How's the Hoover Institute?
607
00:25:47,747 --> 00:25:49,882
It's only been
two weeks...
608
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:53,419
but, you know, it's
only been two weeks.
609
00:25:53,452 --> 00:25:55,755
You got to admire that
about conservatives--
610
00:25:55,788 --> 00:25:57,556
that you'd name something
after Herbert Hoover.
611
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:59,058
Liberals are coy
about our mistakes.
612
00:25:59,091 --> 00:26:01,093
You won't catch us
naming something after...
613
00:26:01,127 --> 00:26:02,561
well, pretty much anybody.
614
00:26:02,595 --> 00:26:04,230
Can I talk to
you about a job?
615
00:26:04,263 --> 00:26:06,398
How long did you say you've been
at the Hoover Institute?
616
00:26:06,432 --> 00:26:07,734
Two weeks... almost.
617
00:26:07,767 --> 00:26:09,068
Uh, one and a half.
618
00:26:09,101 --> 00:26:09,902
Nine days.
619
00:26:09,936 --> 00:26:11,904
I've been in meetings
that have lasted
620
00:26:11,938 --> 00:26:13,773
longer than that,
with charts.
621
00:26:14,641 --> 00:26:18,377
So... who's
on the list?
622
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:21,280
For which of the 6,000 jobs
we're filling
623
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:22,414
in the next ten weeks?
624
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:23,816
Leo's.
625
00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:26,085
I have some thoughts.
626
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:27,286
Carol Gellsey's
already on the list.
627
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:28,487
She is?
Yeah.
628
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,989
That's good. Where on the list?
629
00:26:30,022 --> 00:26:31,490
At the top.
630
00:26:31,523 --> 00:26:33,425
Like number one?
Like number two.
631
00:26:33,459 --> 00:26:34,393
Baker's number one.
632
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:35,427
Yes.
That's wrong.
633
00:26:35,461 --> 00:26:36,929
That's a bad choice.
634
00:26:36,963 --> 00:26:38,430
I don't think
your first decision in office
635
00:26:38,464 --> 00:26:39,565
should be so myopic.
636
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,367
I feel good about myself
when we talk.
637
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,468
You don't need Baker.
638
00:26:42,501 --> 00:26:43,803
You won Pennsylvania
without him.
639
00:26:43,836 --> 00:26:45,772
Four years from now,
a Congresswoman from Florida's
640
00:26:45,805 --> 00:26:47,640
going to seem like manna
from heaven.
641
00:26:47,674 --> 00:26:48,675
Baker's got the experience.
642
00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:49,709
Gellsey was
in the House
643
00:26:49,742 --> 00:26:51,443
six years longer
than Matt Santos was.
644
00:26:51,477 --> 00:26:52,945
She was on Ways and Means
645
00:26:52,979 --> 00:26:55,214
when he was still roping cattle
in Houston.
646
00:26:55,247 --> 00:26:56,315
She ran for Governor; she lost.
647
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:57,516
Ten years ago.
648
00:26:57,549 --> 00:26:59,285
Her statewide favorability's
at 63.
649
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:00,853
Santos wants someone
650
00:27:00,887 --> 00:27:02,822
with serious
executive experience.
651
00:27:02,855 --> 00:27:05,324
Governor of Pennsylvania's
as serious as it gets.
652
00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:06,793
Come on.
It's not nothing.
653
00:27:06,826 --> 00:27:09,095
We're looking
for a senior statesman here.
654
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:10,396
It's about gravitas.
655
00:27:10,429 --> 00:27:13,632
You're looking for Leo McGarry,
Josh, and he isn't available.
656
00:27:14,266 --> 00:27:15,534
This is an
opportunity.
657
00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:17,336
It's a moment
when the electorate
658
00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:18,504
doesn't have to be convinced
659
00:27:18,537 --> 00:27:21,507
a woman can hold
high Constitutional office.
660
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:24,076
They'll accept it
as a fait accompli.
661
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,779
You think she's as good
as Baker?
662
00:27:26,813 --> 00:27:28,981
I think she's better.
663
00:27:30,616 --> 00:27:32,484
Donald Sherman's
looking for you.
664
00:27:32,518 --> 00:27:33,485
You should flee.
665
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,154
He's after
Deputy Leg Affairs.
666
00:27:35,187 --> 00:27:37,356
He had me cornered,
talking about what a way he has
667
00:27:37,389 --> 00:27:38,524
with the Leadership.
Okay.
668
00:27:38,557 --> 00:27:40,359
He spits little bubbles
when he talks.
669
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:41,493
Is the President
still here?
670
00:27:41,527 --> 00:27:42,829
Uh, he left
a little while ago,
671
00:27:42,862 --> 00:27:44,831
but he invited a few people
up to the residence later.
672
00:27:44,864 --> 00:27:46,165
What about the
President-Elect?
673
00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:47,166
Did he leave, too?
674
00:27:47,199 --> 00:27:49,001
I think he's on the phone
in the Roosevelt Room.
675
00:27:49,035 --> 00:27:50,703
Great.
676
00:27:52,204 --> 00:27:56,843
Do you still have a...
key to my apartment?
677
00:27:56,876 --> 00:27:59,045
I've had a key for six years.
Did you change the lock?
678
00:27:59,078 --> 00:28:00,479
No. You should come over later.
679
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,014
That's sweet. I can't.
680
00:28:02,048 --> 00:28:03,215
Why not?
681
00:28:03,249 --> 00:28:05,617
I thought the twitchy chick
from Treasury was in your place.
682
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:07,519
She is, so I asked C.J.
if I could stay with her.
683
00:28:07,553 --> 00:28:09,355
So un-ask her.
I can't.
684
00:28:09,388 --> 00:28:10,589
Why not?
She'll ask why.
685
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:11,958
So lie.
She's my friend.
686
00:28:11,991 --> 00:28:13,592
You didn't want to ask me
if you could stay over?
687
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:14,761
I didn't know
if we were at that point.
688
00:28:14,794 --> 00:28:16,195
So it's okay to
have sex in a hotel
689
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,596
but not in my apartment?
690
00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:19,031
It's a step.
Some people get uncomfortable.
691
00:28:19,065 --> 00:28:20,566
I assumed you'd be
one of those people.
692
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:22,869
Uncomfortable with
sex in my apartment?
693
00:28:22,902 --> 00:28:24,804
Are you really going to try
to convince me that I'm the one
694
00:28:24,837 --> 00:28:26,405
who finds this all awkward
and hard to navigate?
695
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:27,974
No.
696
00:28:28,007 --> 00:28:29,708
Thanks for asking, though.
697
00:28:29,742 --> 00:28:31,778
It's sweet.
698
00:28:36,749 --> 00:28:38,484
( sighs )
699
00:28:44,256 --> 00:28:46,225
Nice wake.
700
00:28:49,295 --> 00:28:51,063
Oh, yeah, right.
701
00:28:51,097 --> 00:28:54,066
No, I'll be back over there
in a little while.
702
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,068
Okay.
703
00:28:58,938 --> 00:29:01,273
The President
left already.
704
00:29:01,307 --> 00:29:02,641
Yeah, I-I saw him go.
705
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:05,411
Bob Russell
selflessly offered
706
00:29:05,444 --> 00:29:07,914
to stay on as VP
if we want him.
707
00:29:07,947 --> 00:29:08,915
Really?
Mm-hmm.
708
00:29:08,948 --> 00:29:10,749
What'd you tell him?
709
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:13,419
I thanked him very much
for his many years
710
00:29:13,452 --> 00:29:14,787
of dedicated
public service
711
00:29:14,821 --> 00:29:16,055
and then I tried to
get the hell away.
712
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:18,090
( laughs )
713
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:21,027
Amy Gardner's pushing
Carol Gellsey pretty hard.
714
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:21,861
For VP?
715
00:29:21,894 --> 00:29:23,595
She's a presence in Florida.
716
00:29:23,629 --> 00:29:24,763
Bipartisan support
in her district.
717
00:29:24,797 --> 00:29:25,932
You buy it?
718
00:29:25,965 --> 00:29:26,966
Maybe.
719
00:29:26,999 --> 00:29:28,767
Amy's out in the lobby
if you want to hear her out.
720
00:29:28,801 --> 00:29:29,869
Yeah, okay.
721
00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:31,603
Uh, Barry Goodwin
says you spoke to him
722
00:29:31,637 --> 00:29:33,339
about Swain for Defense.
723
00:29:33,372 --> 00:29:34,974
Yeah.
724
00:29:35,007 --> 00:29:36,742
He still thinks it's a
good idea; you disagree?
725
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,644
Yes, sir, I do.
726
00:29:38,677 --> 00:29:39,946
He also thinks I should round up
727
00:29:39,979 --> 00:29:41,480
those ten extra votes
for Tim Fields.
728
00:29:41,513 --> 00:29:42,815
You can't kick the Speakership
729
00:29:42,849 --> 00:29:45,317
to one of your best friends
in Congress.
730
00:29:45,351 --> 00:29:47,619
Don't you want to see
lobbying reforms pass?
731
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:48,855
Not if it means
732
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:49,922
ramming it down the throat
733
00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:51,290
of everyone
in the Democratic Caucus.
734
00:29:51,323 --> 00:29:52,925
Not if it means
everything else we want to do
735
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:53,926
goes down in flames...
736
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,494
You shut down
lobbyists' access,
737
00:29:55,527 --> 00:29:56,795
and it'll never
come back.
738
00:29:56,829 --> 00:30:00,032
If you don't have confidence
in my counsel...
739
00:30:00,066 --> 00:30:02,601
Is this still about Barry
heading up transition?
740
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:03,870
Goodwin, the Speakership,
Swain...
741
00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:05,804
I'm sorry if you
were offended
742
00:30:05,838 --> 00:30:06,973
by my hiring Goodwin
743
00:30:07,006 --> 00:30:08,407
before clearing
it first with you.
744
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,177
Backing Fields is a mistake.
745
00:30:11,210 --> 00:30:14,280
White House is
a political operation.
746
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:16,315
My job as Chief of Staff
is to keep you
747
00:30:16,348 --> 00:30:20,252
from making political mistakes,
and this is a whopper.
748
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:23,990
If you're looking
for a "yes" man, I'm not it.
749
00:30:24,023 --> 00:30:27,159
I'll be out in the lobby
with Amy Gardner.
750
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:39,371
( sighs )
751
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:42,708
President-Elect wants
to talk with you
752
00:30:42,741 --> 00:30:44,176
about Carol Gellsey.
753
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:45,945
Really?
754
00:30:45,978 --> 00:30:48,547
Yes.
!
You're a good man.
755
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,316
You have a good soul.
756
00:30:53,219 --> 00:30:55,888
And nice hair.
757
00:30:58,424 --> 00:31:00,192
How's the lumberjack?
758
00:31:00,226 --> 00:31:03,395
He's a wood sculptor,
and he's happy all the time,
759
00:31:03,429 --> 00:31:05,998
which I used to find irritating
and no longer do.
760
00:31:06,032 --> 00:31:07,900
Really?
He doesn't race me
anywhere.
761
00:31:07,934 --> 00:31:08,867
That's great.
762
00:31:08,901 --> 00:31:10,502
It's civilized.
763
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:12,138
That's what
it sounds like.
764
00:31:12,171 --> 00:31:13,672
Don't mock.
You should try it.
765
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:14,907
( laughs ):
Sure.
766
00:31:14,941 --> 00:31:16,342
I have a name for you.
767
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,643
( sighs ):
We already did VP.
768
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:19,145
If you try and staff
my whole Cabinet...
769
00:31:19,178 --> 00:31:20,679
No, for you.
770
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:23,549
For sex and civilized
conversation.
771
00:31:24,783 --> 00:31:27,319
Sales pitch is
a little flimsy.
772
00:31:27,353 --> 00:31:28,320
Sarah Potrero.
773
00:31:28,354 --> 00:31:30,056
She's a good friend,
and you don't deserve her,
774
00:31:30,089 --> 00:31:31,958
but the world's
a cold place.
775
00:31:31,991 --> 00:31:32,959
We shouldn't do this.
776
00:31:32,992 --> 00:31:33,892
It's time, Joshua.
777
00:31:33,926 --> 00:31:35,094
You're approaching the age
778
00:31:35,127 --> 00:31:37,129
where people shake their heads
and roll their eyes.
779
00:31:37,163 --> 00:31:38,397
Now you're channeling
my mother.
780
00:31:38,430 --> 00:31:40,799
DONNA:
We should get
up to the residence.
781
00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:42,101
The Post
heard a rumor
782
00:31:42,134 --> 00:31:43,769
Max Manitoba's up
for a cabinet post.
783
00:31:43,802 --> 00:31:44,770
Did that
come from us?
784
00:31:44,803 --> 00:31:46,438
No.
Okay, I'll
squash it.
785
00:31:46,472 --> 00:31:47,739
Do you know
Sarah Potrero?
786
00:31:47,773 --> 00:31:49,108
From Justice?
787
00:31:49,141 --> 00:31:51,343
Yeah. Don't you think
Josh should give her a call?
788
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:52,344
For a date.
789
00:31:52,378 --> 00:31:53,845
With you?
790
00:31:53,879 --> 00:31:55,247
Don't you think
it's enough already?
791
00:31:55,281 --> 00:31:56,782
I'm withering
on the vine.
792
00:31:56,815 --> 00:31:58,617
Sarah's a great idea.
793
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:00,652
She's a real sweetheart.
794
00:32:00,686 --> 00:32:02,221
See? She's inside the beltway
but outside the building.
795
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,489
You'd have a lot to talk about,
796
00:32:03,522 --> 00:32:04,957
but you wouldn't step
on each other's heels.
797
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,625
She's ready
for something long-term.
798
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,127
You should pretend
you are, too.
799
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,795
Sure.
It's what
the grown-ups do.
800
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,964
What exactly do
the grown-ups do?
801
00:32:11,998 --> 00:32:13,799
Mr. President-Elect.
802
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:15,267
Amy, so good to see you.
803
00:32:15,301 --> 00:32:17,136
We'll let you
guys catch up.
804
00:32:17,169 --> 00:32:21,073
We will go far... far away.
805
00:32:21,107 --> 00:32:23,175
SANTOS:
Josh, I called
Congressman Fields,
806
00:32:23,209 --> 00:32:25,011
asked him to come
back over tonight.
807
00:32:25,044 --> 00:32:26,445
Would you like
me to be there?
808
00:32:26,478 --> 00:32:28,114
I'll be fine, thanks.
809
00:32:28,147 --> 00:32:30,282
AMY:
Fields would really
810
00:32:30,316 --> 00:32:31,850
shake things up
as the Speaker.
811
00:32:31,883 --> 00:32:33,019
Yes, he would.
812
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:35,154
Josh, uh, says,
that you have some thoughts
813
00:32:35,187 --> 00:32:37,023
on who should be V.P.
814
00:32:37,056 --> 00:32:39,325
I understand
Carol Gellsey's
already on the list.
815
00:32:39,358 --> 00:32:40,626
Of course she is.
816
00:32:40,659 --> 00:32:44,796
I'm, uh, just not sure
that she can be on top of it.
817
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:46,132
She's qualified.
818
00:32:46,165 --> 00:32:48,300
She's respected on both
sides of the aisle.
819
00:32:48,334 --> 00:32:50,002
She helps in Florida
on the re-elect.
820
00:32:50,036 --> 00:32:51,537
She'll look like
a symbolic choice.
821
00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:53,172
It's already a paradigm-breaking
administration.
822
00:32:53,205 --> 00:32:55,774
I can't walk in here
and start staffing the place
823
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:57,176
like it's Noah's ark.
824
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:01,713
The gender-gap's
the only reason
825
00:33:01,747 --> 00:33:03,782
the Democratic party
wins elections.
826
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:05,284
If only men voted,
827
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:06,685
Democrats would never hold
another elected office.
828
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:08,220
The party's losing women.
829
00:33:08,254 --> 00:33:09,721
You almost lost this race
because of it.
Mm-hmm.
830
00:33:09,755 --> 00:33:12,291
A little patronage won't
make the world stop turning.
831
00:33:12,324 --> 00:33:14,293
We're talking about the most
unrewarded constituency
832
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,927
in the nation.
833
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:17,763
I'm not getting anywhere, am I?
834
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:19,998
I think Baker's
the right choice.
835
00:33:20,032 --> 00:33:21,800
I think you're scared.
836
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,835
That's what's motivating
your choice.
837
00:33:23,869 --> 00:33:25,804
I think
you find Baker reassuring.
838
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,273
I just got elected President.
839
00:33:27,306 --> 00:33:29,508
You sure you want
to call me a coward?
840
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:35,481
Josh says that you won't work
at the White House.
841
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:36,748
I have an agenda.
842
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:38,016
I pursue it relentlessly.
843
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:39,185
I've been known to...
844
00:33:39,218 --> 00:33:40,486
Here's what I think.
845
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:41,687
I think it's easier
846
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,056
to throw rocks at a house
than to build one.
847
00:33:44,090 --> 00:33:45,724
And I think
you're ready for more.
848
00:33:45,757 --> 00:33:48,360
You calling me a coward, sir?
849
00:33:48,394 --> 00:33:51,930
Director of Legislative Affairs.
850
00:33:51,963 --> 00:33:54,032
Fix the place from the inside.
851
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:57,536
It's what the grownups do.
852
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:04,176
C.J. wanted you to stop by
on our way up to the residence.
853
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:05,944
Yeah, sure.
Sarah's a doll.
854
00:34:05,977 --> 00:34:07,113
Stop.
855
00:34:07,146 --> 00:34:08,814
Smart, cute, nice body.
856
00:34:08,847 --> 00:34:10,516
Okay, this is
getting weird.
857
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:11,550
Is she in there?
858
00:34:11,583 --> 00:34:13,585
MARGARET:
Go on in,
she's expecting you.
859
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:15,521
Every day the same
damn sandwich, turkey.
860
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,256
Sliced so thin,
you'd think he was going
861
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:18,924
to wallpaper a room with it.
862
00:34:18,957 --> 00:34:20,759
Lettuce, but not too much
lettuce.
863
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:22,294
And mayo, but not
too much mayo...
864
00:34:22,328 --> 00:34:24,896
You were
looking for me?
865
00:34:24,930 --> 00:34:26,432
Ainsley Hayes approached me
866
00:34:26,465 --> 00:34:28,534
about the White House
Counsel's job.
867
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:30,569
Really?
868
00:34:30,602 --> 00:34:34,606
Isn't she at the Warren G.
Harding Institute or something?
869
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,907
Hoover, but yeah.
870
00:34:35,941 --> 00:34:37,042
She's terrific.
871
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:39,545
She's still a Republican, right?
872
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:41,079
And still dedicated
and incredibly bright.
873
00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:43,282
I think you should get over
the Republican thing.
874
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:45,884
President-Elect's sort of
on a bipartisan bender of late,
875
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,753
so I'll get her a meeting.
876
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:50,356
I was heading up
to the residence. You coming?
877
00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:51,823
I was just thinking about Leo
878
00:34:51,857 --> 00:34:53,292
sitting over there
in that chair.
879
00:34:56,195 --> 00:34:58,230
Weird, isn't it?
880
00:34:58,264 --> 00:35:02,768
How people are here one minute,
and then they're not.
881
00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:05,237
PRESIDENT:
It's ten degrees
882
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:06,938
below zero
with a wind chill factor
883
00:35:06,972 --> 00:35:08,607
that'd crack your spine,
and there's no way
884
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,442
I'm leaving the van
without my jacket.
885
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:13,512
But Leo won't give it to me,
says it'll make me look like
886
00:35:13,545 --> 00:35:15,247
I just sledded in
from the tundra.
887
00:35:15,281 --> 00:35:17,416
Mind you, I've grown up
and spent my entire life
888
00:35:17,449 --> 00:35:19,351
in New Hampshire,
and he's trying to tell me
889
00:35:19,385 --> 00:35:21,953
my fellow citizens won't vote
for me if I'm wearing a parka!
890
00:35:21,987 --> 00:35:23,722
Uh, there you are.
Grab a seat.
891
00:35:23,755 --> 00:35:24,990
I'm telling the parka story.
892
00:35:25,023 --> 00:35:27,092
These two are falling asleep,
and Charlie's heard it before.
893
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:27,959
More than once.
894
00:35:27,993 --> 00:35:29,060
New Hampshire primaries.
895
00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:30,061
PRESIDENT:
Yeah.
896
00:35:30,095 --> 00:35:31,497
So Leo won't give me the parka,
897
00:35:31,530 --> 00:35:32,964
and we're pulling it
back and forth
898
00:35:32,998 --> 00:35:35,301
like two guys who
are trying to raise
the mast on a ship.
899
00:35:35,334 --> 00:35:37,869
And just as we both give it
a really strong yank,
900
00:35:37,903 --> 00:35:39,471
Josh opens the door...
It wasn't me.
901
00:35:39,505 --> 00:35:41,106
Of course it was you.
I wasn't there.
902
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,308
You were there.
903
00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:44,009
Who's telling the story,
me or you?
904
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:46,077
You, sir.
Then sit down and shut up.
905
00:35:46,111 --> 00:35:48,614
Josh Lyman opens the door
from outside
906
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:49,715
as Leo loses his grip,
907
00:35:49,748 --> 00:35:52,184
and I go flying out the door
ass backwards,
908
00:35:52,218 --> 00:35:54,653
and end up on the street
in front of 50 TV cameras.
909
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,455
Maybe five.
JOSH:
I wasn't there, I swear.
910
00:35:56,488 --> 00:35:58,023
C.J., what was the headline
911
00:35:58,056 --> 00:35:59,591
in the Union Leader
the next day?
912
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:03,229
"Favorite Son Falls Flat
In Granite State."
913
00:36:03,262 --> 00:36:06,432
With a huge picture of me
lying prone in the street
914
00:36:06,465 --> 00:36:09,335
as if I'd been felled
by John Hoynes' welfare plan.
915
00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:12,638
First time I ever met Leo,
he was wearing an Italian suit
916
00:36:12,671 --> 00:36:15,140
that cost about as much
as the space program.
917
00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:16,675
English, not Italian.
Saville Row.
918
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:18,510
Has he ever worn a suit
more than twice?
919
00:36:18,544 --> 00:36:20,111
I think he barely wore 'em once.
920
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:21,112
And those peach shirts.
921
00:36:21,146 --> 00:36:22,180
ANNABETH:
Apricot.
922
00:36:22,214 --> 00:36:23,482
He corrected me more than once.
923
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,751
I did like those pink ones,
though.
924
00:36:25,784 --> 00:36:27,586
Not a lot of men can get away
with pulling off that color.
925
00:36:27,619 --> 00:36:29,588
And Leo wasn't one of them.
( laughter )
926
00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:31,890
Ever try to pull that Davis
Cup thing on anybody else?
927
00:36:31,923 --> 00:36:33,124
Oh, yeah.
C.J.:
Me, too.
928
00:36:33,158 --> 00:36:34,860
What Davis Cup thing?
JOSH:
Leo used
929
00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:37,095
to tell you these tall tales
to test how gullible you were.
930
00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:38,964
Like how he played
Davis Cup tennis
931
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:40,632
before he blew out his knee.
932
00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:42,801
How he hustled chess games
in Washington Square Park.
933
00:36:42,834 --> 00:36:44,069
How he was a train conductor.
934
00:36:44,102 --> 00:36:45,271
Minor league baseball player.
935
00:36:45,304 --> 00:36:46,638
If you were buying it,
936
00:36:46,672 --> 00:36:48,607
the stories kept getting bigger
and better.
937
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,442
My favorite was
how he almost made
938
00:36:50,476 --> 00:36:53,078
the Olympic luge team in 1962.
939
00:36:53,111 --> 00:36:55,347
He didn't make the luge team
in 1962?
940
00:36:55,381 --> 00:36:57,148
WILL:
There weren't any
Olympics in '62.
941
00:36:57,182 --> 00:36:58,917
( laughter )
942
00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:00,352
Don't worry about it.
I made it
943
00:37:00,386 --> 00:37:02,153
all the way
to Minor League baseball player.
944
00:37:02,187 --> 00:37:04,089
JOSH:
You didn't think
it was kind of weird that
945
00:37:04,122 --> 00:37:06,558
after he blew out his knee,
he played minor league baseball?
946
00:37:06,592 --> 00:37:08,927
I made it to
dance instructor.
947
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,429
No, no. That one was true.
948
00:37:10,462 --> 00:37:11,497
He taught me to fox-trot.
949
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:12,464
Really?
950
00:37:13,799 --> 00:37:16,802
( laughter )
951
00:37:18,804 --> 00:37:20,839
( knock at door )
952
00:37:20,872 --> 00:37:22,441
( door opening )
953
00:37:22,474 --> 00:37:25,844
MAN:
Congressman
Fields is here.
954
00:37:25,877 --> 00:37:28,914
Sellner's out there
working the vote twice as hard.
955
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:31,817
Maybe he thinks you're gonna
shove some members my way.
956
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:33,184
He doesn't.
957
00:37:33,218 --> 00:37:34,853
'Cause I'm not.
958
00:37:34,886 --> 00:37:36,288
Hmm?
959
00:37:36,322 --> 00:37:40,225
You convinced Sellner
to back lobbying reform?
960
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:42,561
He's worried
about keeping the majority.
961
00:37:42,594 --> 00:37:44,463
Sure, never mind the democracy.
962
00:37:44,496 --> 00:37:46,732
I think he's right.
963
00:37:46,765 --> 00:37:48,500
Right to protect
lobbyists' ability
964
00:37:48,534 --> 00:37:49,868
to funnel cash into whatever...?
965
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:51,803
Wrong about the bill-- I'm gonna
keep pushing for that--
966
00:37:51,837 --> 00:37:53,505
but right
to protect our House members.
967
00:37:53,539 --> 00:37:57,175
Yeah, from left-wing
rabble-rousers like you and me.
968
00:37:57,208 --> 00:37:59,478
Tim, the Caucus has
to pick its own Speaker,
969
00:37:59,511 --> 00:38:01,513
or else
he won't have credibility.
970
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:03,349
And I don't see
how that helps anyone.
971
00:38:03,382 --> 00:38:05,116
You realize if he wins,
972
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:08,019
Sellner will strip me
of everything.
973
00:38:08,053 --> 00:38:10,789
I'll be stuck on some C-level
committee on committees,
974
00:38:10,822 --> 00:38:13,291
midnight hearings on overstock
at the Congressional...
975
00:38:13,325 --> 00:38:15,727
Only if you keep fighting him
for the Speakership.
976
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:18,730
You want me to drop out?
977
00:38:18,764 --> 00:38:21,833
I want you do whatever you think
is best for the party.
978
00:38:26,338 --> 00:38:28,740
Is there something for me
on the Cabinet?
979
00:38:28,774 --> 00:38:30,709
SBA, Interior?
980
00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:32,644
We can't afford
to lose your seat.
981
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:35,213
Not with just
a four-vote majority.
982
00:38:35,246 --> 00:38:37,315
( scoffs )
983
00:38:39,851 --> 00:38:43,154
Fill a starving dog's belly,
he'll never bite you.
984
00:38:43,188 --> 00:38:47,359
The difference between
a dog and a man.
985
00:38:47,393 --> 00:38:49,795
If you need any help
with federal aid for Houston...
986
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:51,162
( laughs )
987
00:38:51,196 --> 00:38:53,865
Yeah.
988
00:38:54,933 --> 00:38:56,368
( door slams )
989
00:38:56,402 --> 00:38:58,370
PRESIDENT:
About 15 years ago,
990
00:38:58,404 --> 00:39:01,407
I took him on a fishing trip
to help him quit smoking.
991
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,574
Leo fishing?
992
00:39:02,608 --> 00:39:04,576
ABBEY:
Camping and fishing.
993
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:06,277
Leo who never wanted
to go anywhere
994
00:39:06,311 --> 00:39:07,779
where he couldn't see his car.
995
00:39:07,813 --> 00:39:10,115
Well, he smuggled a
pack of cigarettes inside
996
00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,483
his tackle box,
and kept slipping off
997
00:39:11,517 --> 00:39:12,851
into the woods
to have a smoke.
998
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:15,053
So finally, I got
him out in the boat
999
00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:16,221
in the middle
of this lake,
1000
00:39:16,254 --> 00:39:18,156
and after a few hours,
he had a nicotine fit,
1001
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,559
and started screaming at me that
he has to get back to shore.
1002
00:39:20,592 --> 00:39:22,494
I say, "No, no,
we haven't caught any fish yet,
1003
00:39:22,528 --> 00:39:24,730
and we're not going back
until we fill up this bucket."
1004
00:39:24,763 --> 00:39:26,131
Well, we'd brought
a shotgun along
1005
00:39:26,164 --> 00:39:27,899
in case we ran
into any bears.
1006
00:39:27,933 --> 00:39:28,700
Leo picks
up the gun,
1007
00:39:28,734 --> 00:39:30,469
fires it into the water,
both barrels.
1008
00:39:30,502 --> 00:39:31,803
He reloads and fires again.
1009
00:39:31,837 --> 00:39:34,339
Pretty soon, fish are rising
to the surface all around me.
1010
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,708
He calmly turns to me and says,
1011
00:39:36,742 --> 00:39:39,377
"Now, give me the damn bucket,
please."
1012
00:39:39,411 --> 00:39:41,980
( laughter )
1013
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:47,218
Well, everybody,
1014
00:39:47,252 --> 00:39:49,521
think we better call it
a night.
1015
00:39:49,555 --> 00:39:51,457
Oh, no, it's early yet.
1016
00:39:51,490 --> 00:39:52,958
Jed, 10:30 is not early.
1017
00:39:52,991 --> 00:39:54,760
All right.
1018
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:57,228
Thank you all for coming up.
WILL:
Thank you, sir.
1019
00:39:57,262 --> 00:39:58,430
Donna.
1020
00:39:58,464 --> 00:40:00,265
Good night, sir.
Thanks for inviting me.
1021
00:40:00,298 --> 00:40:02,067
Charlie.
1022
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:08,039
Sleep in, Mr. President.
Hmm?
1023
00:40:08,073 --> 00:40:10,108
I'll cancel your breakfast
with Governor Tillman.
1024
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:12,410
No, we've canceled it, what,
three or four times already?
1025
00:40:12,444 --> 00:40:13,579
I'll be in.
1026
00:40:13,612 --> 00:40:14,913
Okay. Good night.
1027
00:40:14,946 --> 00:40:16,014
Good night, dear.
1028
00:40:16,047 --> 00:40:17,616
Claudia Jean.
1029
00:40:18,684 --> 00:40:21,620
I really miss him, sir.
1030
00:40:22,488 --> 00:40:23,855
Good night.
1031
00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:24,923
Good night.
1032
00:40:27,993 --> 00:40:29,495
Good night.
1033
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:34,966
Tim Fields for Speaker?
1034
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,868
Yeah.
1035
00:40:36,902 --> 00:40:39,905
Santos can't be messing
around with House elections.
1036
00:40:39,938 --> 00:40:41,139
That's what I told him.
1037
00:40:41,172 --> 00:40:42,774
Did he listen?
1038
00:40:42,808 --> 00:40:45,877
I don't know.
1039
00:40:45,911 --> 00:40:49,047
I know I was supposed
to be doing this with Leo.
1040
00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:53,652
He loved you like a son.
1041
00:40:53,685 --> 00:40:55,921
You know that, don't you?
1042
00:40:57,589 --> 00:41:00,892
Leo and I are the past.
1043
00:41:00,926 --> 00:41:03,394
You're the future.
1044
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:05,497
It's up to you now.
1045
00:41:05,531 --> 00:41:07,666
We're counting on you.
1046
00:41:17,576 --> 00:41:19,410
You still got my number,
don't you?
1047
00:41:19,444 --> 00:41:20,746
You can call the switchboard
anytime.
1048
00:41:20,779 --> 00:41:22,280
They'll put you right through.
1049
00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:23,915
Mr. President.
1050
00:41:23,949 --> 00:41:25,183
Mrs. Bartlet.
1051
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:26,518
Good night, Joshua.
1052
00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:32,791
