All language subtitles for The West Wing (1999) - S01E07 - The State Dinner (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 ImE)_track3_[eng]

Previously on the west wing:

You want to work

For the leader

Of the free world?

Josh!

Well, it took you
Long enough.

Ow!

I'm going

To give you
A ten-minute head start.

What for?

Being a good guy.

Mallory, this thing

With your mother
And me

It'll blow over.
No, it won't.

There isn't
A state bar

That's going to admit you
With a solicitation bust.

I don't plan on
Getting busted.

C.J.:
The first lady
Will be wearing

A carmen marc valvo
Silver and black gown

With a matching
Bolero jacket.

Woman reporter:
Shoes?

I believe she'll
Be wearing shoes, yes.

Sondra:
C.J....

Black suede manolo
Blahnik slides
With a rhinestone

And mother of pearl
Toe buckle.

Accessories?
Gabrielle sanchez

Fresh water pearl necklace
With tourmaline beads.

I'm also told
To inform you

She will be carrying

A christina bomba
Silk, pleated
Organdy evening bag.

And mrs. Siguto?

Mrs. Siguto will be wearing
A silk kebaya

In dark purple with an overlay
Of black silk lace.

Matching open-toed
Evening slippers.

Her jewelry
Is by an artist

From her birthplace
In jakarta.

It is fashioned

In rubies and gold.

Anything else?

Nothing on
The nuclear test ban treaty?

No. Okay.

Thank you.

C.J....

Man alive,
Do I love it

When in style magazine
Is issued press credentials.

Mirabella needed to know

What wine
Was being served

So, it's a good thing

I went to school
For 22 years.

What wine...?
It's wine.
You'll drink it.

What do you need?

Sara's picked up speed
And power

And is now classified
As a class-four system.

You might want to talk

About preparations
And contingencies.

Sure, what are
We talking about?

Hurricane sara.
Sara's a
Hurricane?

Where's
It heading?

Georgia and the carolinas.

When?
It'll hit landfall
By tonight.

Is it serious?
Ever been in
A hurricane?

No.
Me neither, but
They look serious.

Sam:
Just so you know,
They voted to strike.

The teamsters?
Leo's putting
Them in a room.

When?
Now.

How long is it
Going to last?

Till midnight--
Taft-hartley expires.

That's when
The truck drivers walk.

There's a state
Dinner tonight.

Josh:
Make more food.

Josh!

You know
About the hurricane?

Yeah.
Everybody but me?

Listen, I want you
To start preparing.

There's a situation
In mcclane.

Virginia?
Idaho.

What's in idaho?
There's a property

That local law enforcement's
Had surrounded

For four days.

A farm with anywhere
From 18 to 40 survivalists.

Are they armed?
Yeah.

Are there kids?
Yes.
The fbi's decided

It's a hostage situation.

So, we've got ourselves
A whole new ball game.

So, let me see if I have this.

A hurricane's picked
Up speed and power

And is heading
For georgia.

Management and labor
Are coming here
To work out

A settlement to
Avoid a strike

That will begin
At midnight tonight.

And the government's
Planning a siege

On 18 to 40 of its
Citizens while we host

A state dinner
For the president
Of indonesia.

You got it.
Yeah. Yeah.

Amazingly, you know what

I'll get asked?

What?
Sondra?

I'm sorry, c.J.

Black suede and velvet

Manolo blahnik slides

With a rhinestone
And mother of pearl
Toe buckle.

Thanks.

No problem.

Josh:
Another low pressure system.

Okay, I'm talking
To the red cross.

I'll call you in an hour.

Yeah, okay, bye.

Donnatella moss.

Hey.

A senior indonesian deputy
Is coming tonight.

Toby and I want to talk to him
Alone for a few minutes.

I need you find out

If he can speak english

And if he can't we need to get
An interpreter from state.

What's his name?

Rahmadi sumahidjo bambang.

Can you spell that?

Not correctly, no.

Josh?
Yes.

I got to tell you something.

What?

I'm not wild about this
Whole indonesian business.

I've been doing some
Reading on my own...

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Why?

Because you tend to cull
Some bizarre factoid

From a less than
Reputable source

And then blow it
Out of proportion.

I do not.

Donna...

I just thought
You might like to know

That in certain parts
Of indonesia

They summarily
Execute people

They suspect
Of being sorcerers.

What?

I read it.

They summarily
Execute people

They suspect
Of being sorcerers?

They behead them.

Sorcerers.

Gangs of roving people.

Beheading those they suspect
Of being sorcerers with

You know-- what's that thing
That death carries?

A scythe.

They're doing it
With a scythe.

Thanks for the heads up.

I just thought you
Might like to know

Who's coming
Over for dinner.

I heard it got upgraded.

It's a class-four hurricane.

Fema's down in georgia
With the red cross.

President should be
Prepared to sign

Some sort of
Federal disaster relief.

What's going on
With the truckers?

I'm meeting with them

In the roosevelt room
In an hour.

C.J.'ll need to know
What they're wearing.

What's the issue?

Two-tiered hiring.

The company divides
Its workforce

Into two bodies:

Long-term, full-time
Employees who enjoy

Top market wages
And benefits,
And part-time

Or newer full-time employees
Who are paid a lower wage scale

And usually get
No benefits.

But they're part-time employees.

A lot of them aren't.

A lot of the workers
Management designates

As part-time
Are de-facto full-time employees

Who are working
The same amount of hours

Under a different designation

At lower wages
With no health or pension.

I'm with management.

Imagine my surprise.

The younger workforce puts
A premium on job flexibility.

They're unwilling to make
Long-term commitments.

What do you expect?

Fair hiring practices.

Listen. Mcclane, idaho...

I need someone to monitor

And keep me updated
Throughout the day.

I'll do it.
You got to work
On the toast.

Don't need him.

Yes, you do.

Takes two people
To write a toast?

The state department's

Very particular
About these toasts.

I'll assignment someone
From my office.

I can do it.

No, you can't.

Why not?

Because you're a
Political consultant

And this is an actual,
You know, thing.

Leo, please tell josh
That I can play

A role in issues
And it's not

Going to end
This administration.

I don't think it
Will be the end

Of this administration, leo

I think it's going
To be the end

Of this republic.

Establish a contact

At the justice department
And the fbi

And keep josh
Informed throughout.

What else?

The, uh, redskins suck.

Thank you.

Donna?

Yeah.

Did josh talk to you about...

Rahmadi sumahidjo bambang?

Yes.
I'm on it.

Thank you.

Did you know that
In certain parts
Of indonesia

They summarily execute
People they suspect of
Being sorcerers?

Yes.

You see?

You're all crazy.

Mr. President?

No questions right now, harry.

A short one.

She's not worried about
The length of your questions.

She's worried about
The length of my response.

We're having salmon tonight.

Yes.

They told you that?

Yes.

Yo-yo ma is going to play.

Some bach concertos,
I believe.

Do you like salmon?

No.

Well...

Our mistake.

Yes.

What do you have so far?

We start by welcoming
Our friends

And distinguished guests.

We praise president siguto

For leading his country

Through a period
That promises profound change

As indonesia moves from
An authoritarian dictatorship

Towards a real democracy.

The beginnings of
A real democracy.

Don't get carried away.

All right, uh,
"We have been friends

For over 50 years..."

Don't... Don't say friends.

It's a state dinner.

I don't think
We should remind people

How friendly we were
With dictators

Who oppressed their people
While stealing their money.

How else do you
Steal people's money?

See, that's good.
Write that in the toast.

Toby?

Yeah.

You got something going on
Tonight with josh?

We got to see a guy
About a thing.

Need any help?

No.

Toughen this up.

30 days with a federal mediator.

You people couldn't work
This out?

There's fundamental
Differences.

Name them.

It's the same
Differences...

Name them again.

The two-tiered hiring.

The trucking industry
Is under intense competition

From fed ex, ups,
The railroads, the airlines

Freight operations.
Seymour.

For us to accept
Wage costs

Significantly greater
Than our competitors

Would render us
Unable to compete.

You're full of crap.

This is the white house.

It's not
The jersey turnpike.

Watch your mouth.

Forgive me.

For all the danger your
Industry's facing from
Competition, seymour

The fact is that trucks are
Still this country's number one

Way of moving things around--

Including food.

I'm talking about produce
Rotting in warehouses.

I'm talking about fistfights
In supermarkets

Over who gets
The last bar of soap.

You have until midnight.

You don't think
I can do this?

Why aren't you in
Your own office?

I don't have an office
In this building.

There's a reason for that.

The mcclane police
Got a warrant

To search this house.

They had reason to believe

There was a gun in that house

That was made illegal
By virtue of a barrel

That was a quarter inch shorter
Than it was supposed to be.

The people in this house

Who are exactly
Who you think they are

Refused entry to police.

Did they refuse
It politely?

They produced weapons

If that's what
You're asking me.

Yes, that's what
I'm asking you.

It really bugs you

That the president
Listens to me sometimes.

Yes, but don't
Take it personally.

It bugs me when the president
Listens to anyone who isn't me.

You know why the fbi
Had reason to believe

There was an illegal weapon
In this house?

Why?

Because we sold it to them.

You know that for sure?

Yeah.

Also, there are children
In there

And a lot of crossed wires

Between the deputy attorney
General and the fbi

And alcohol, tobacco
And firearms

In terms of who's
Running the show.

My point is,
Aside from everything else

This is a p.R. Disaster
Waiting to happen

And it's going to happen today.

This is why you hired me.

Yeah, I was wondering
Why that was.

It bugs you.

Yes.

Yes.

President siguto, how are you
Enjoying america so far?

Fine, thank you.

Would you mind
Expanding on that?

She'd like you to say
A little more on the subject.

I have nothing more
To say on the subject.

Okay.

One more question.
Danny?

Mr. President?

Which one?
Pardon me.

President bartlet,
I was wondering

If you noticed the protesters
Across the street this morning?

I try not to look out
My window that much, danny.

What protesters?

Vermeil.

Vermeil?

Yes, sir.

Danny, I'm going to cover
Vermeil at the briefing.

That's all, folks.

I got to bring in
The next group.

Thank you.

You don't know what it's
About, do you?

The protesters?
Yes.

It's about vermeil.

What's vermeil?

I happen to know
What vermeil is.

( chuckling ):
Okay.

My whole 1:00 briefing
Is going to be about

The vermeil protesters,
Isn't it?

Well, I just raised
A question

In front of 24
White house reporters

And you didn't answer it.

So I would assume
That there would be

Some sort of
Follow-up, yes.

Thanks.
Anytime.

Carol?
Yeah?

She's going to
Need you.

I need to know
What vermeil is

And why people
Are protesting it.

Leo.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning,
Mr. President.

Would you excuse me,
Mr. President?

Sir, if I could...?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Would you pardon me
One moment, please?

Excuse me, folks.

I can't decide if that man
Is boring or rude

But he's one or the other.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sitting out there
Trying to figure out

How this guy could campaign
For something and win...

Then I remembered-- we
Usually rig the election.

There you go.

You think it's important
He sit at my table?

He's the guest of honor,
So it is customary.

Where are you sitting?

At your table, sir.

Where's toby sitting?

With c.J.
And josh and sam.

Eh, that's the fun table.
What do you need?

I just wanted
To let you know

We're going to clear out
A battle carrier group

From the norfolk naval yard.

'cause of the hurricane?

It's standard procedure.

They want to get the ships
Out of the way.

All right, fine.

This is just in case
Someone asks you

Why we've deployed
An entire carrier group

In the north atlantic.

All right, thank you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Did I mention we're having
Salmon tonight?

Yes.

Read this.

"Indonesia's constitution

Highlights
Democratic principles."

Toby...

Read it.

I know what
You're gearing up for here.

Read!

"The national ideology
Of pancasila

"Upon which
Your constitution is founded

"Includes a belief
In the supreme being

While calling
For religious tolerance"--

I see you've underlined that--

"Freedom of press,
Freedom of assembly"...

Toby, do you really think
It's a good idea

To invite people to dinner,
Then tell them

What they're doing wrong
With their lives?

Absolutely. Otherwise,
It's just a waste of food.

We're not telling them

How to run
Their lives.

"It's time for your government

"To live up to the promise

"Enshrined in the hearts
And minds of your people

As well as the laws
Of your land"?

A friendly reminder.

Can we soften

The top of this?

No.

Something
Like...

"As has often been said

"A true friend tells
Another friend the truth.

"And on some issues
We must speak candidly

"Or we could not, in all honesty

"Hold the great honor
Of being known the world over

As indonesia's friend."

Wow.

That was just about

The worst writing
I have ever heard.

I know.

Vermeil is gilded silver--
Silver covered in gold.

The white house has one
Of the largest collections

In the world.

Why the protesters?

Well, these are 18th and
19th-century french objects--

Many designed by the noted
European silversmith

Jean-baptiste
Claude odiot.

The collection is kept
In the gold room

Along with the ten-arm
Glass-cut chandelier

Which was made in england
In 1785.

C.J., what does this

Have to do
With the protesters?

Nothing at all.

It's just
Interesting information

And I thought
I'd share it with you.

( reporters chuckling )

Many workers were blinded
By the mercury

While making these pieces.

Louis xv would melt them down

To pay for his wars
Against his people

So in general, they're seen
In some circles as a symbol

Of a government's bloody
And tyrannical oppression

Of its own people.

We use them as centerpieces

With a seasonal
Floral arrangement.

Is the president
Concerned this might send

The wrong message?

I'll be honest with you, tom--

I haven't run this
By the president yet

But I'll have that for you

Plus the rest of the day's
Scores and highlights

At the next briefing
At 4:00 or 5:00.

Thank you.

I won't need
A transcript of that.

C.J...

You're a rabble-rouser--
You know that?

You rouse rabbles.

Hey...

I went and looked at your
Big vermeil demonstration:

Six people in
Lafayette park

With oak tag
And magic markers.

I didn't say it was selma,
Alabama, or anything.

Six people!

Six pathetic people
Protesting on a friday

And you just lent their
Weak and feeble voices
A megaphone.

What do you call that?

A job well done.

You're very proud
Of yourself.

Yeah.

Say, what are you
Wearing tonight?

Your paper wants to know
What I'm wearing?

Not my paper--
That was just for me.

You want to know
What I'm wearing?

Yeah.

Well...

I'm wearing...

An evening gown
Of... Gray silk.

Good, then.

I'll be looking forward
To it.

Well, okay.

I've got to go deal
With the vermeil crazies.

See ya.

Okay.

The point I was trying
To make to toby

Was that this toast
Was coming

At the end of two days
Of policy talks

And maybe at dinner
We could lighten it up.

Sam, I've got con law
In an hour.

Should I sit quietly?

Yeah, 'cause I really
Need to study this.

No problem.

Thanks.

I'll eat my sandwich.

Good, sam.

I'm having trouble deciding
Between the ham and cheese

And the chicken salad.

Oh, this might help you--
The chicken salad's mine.

Yeah, but in this
Kind of environment

It's basically community
Food, right?

You're not afraid of being
Seen with me right now?

Because of the way
You're dressed?

No, not... What's wrong
With the way I'm dressed?

Nothing.

No, because of my night job,
Sam.

You're not afraid of being seen

With me?

No.

Okay.

Your night job's
Crummy.

Yes, I know.

So, you got a thing tonight--
A date?

A client?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Who?

Sam...
I was just...

I thought we had a deal.
Yes.

Thank you.
Where's he taking you?

I don't know.
Okay.

No, I really
Don't know, sam.

He calls me,
He tells me what to wear

The rest of it's
A surprise.

Is this someone...

Sam, I have class
In an hour

And I have not even...

Oh, for god's sake

It's gideon v. Wainwright,
372, u.S. 335.

You cite the precedent,
You cite black's opinion

For the majority.

Thank you for that display
Of geek bravado

But I'd like to
Learn this myself

So I can graduate
From law school

Practice law,
And give up my night job.

And I'd like you to
Learn from my experience

When I tell you that
Law school bears

Little relationship to
The practice of law.

It bears some relationship
To graduating, though, right?

Yes.
Then shut up.

I'm just saying your
Night job stinks.

Fine.

And I'm taking
Your sandwich.

Fine.

Man:
Certainly I think
We're all agreed that militias

Pose an inherent threat.

They are very well-armed cares
Of dangerous lunatics

Bent on undermining
The government.

Mr. President, would it
Be inappropriate for me

To join the discussion?

No, of course not.

Kooks, nuts, extremists--

The lunatic fringe
Element--

This is the inevitable
And unavoidable byproduct

Of a democracy--

Just as pornography is
The unavoidable byproduct

Of free speech.

Excuse me, mr. President.

These people aren't
Thumbing through hustler.

They're armed,
They're evading arrest

And they're holding
Hostages.

We think they're
Holding hostages.

Plus, we're the ones
Who sold them the gun

In the first place.

Yes. It's called
A sting, mandy.

Yeah, but another word

For it is "Entrapment."

Oh, please. Pardon me,
Mr. President--

A judge is never going to...

Not courts-- I'm talking
About public opinion.

Then this is two
Different conversations.

You want to raid
This house?

We don't have to come
With guns blazing--

We can fire tear gas
Through the windows.

And tomorrow's front page
Will be a screaming woman

Running from a burning house
With a baby in her arms

And fbi in the foreground.

Why can't we
Starve them out?

They've got, like, a five-year
Supply of food and water

To say nothing
Of ammunition.

Josh?

There's no way
This'll end good.

All that's left
Is to end it fast.

I agree.

What about
A negotiator?

Negotiate what?

A peaceful settlement.

This is a standoff
With federal officers.

A peaceful settlement is

"Put your guns down--
You're under arrest."

I think it would be wise
If we demonstrated

That we exhausted every
Possible peaceful solution

Before we got
All ramboed up.

All right, mandy,
Thank you.

Josh, would you
Two give us a
Minute, please?

I don't think it's
Unreasonably macho

For the white house
To be aggressive

In preserving democracy.

Let me tell you
Something.

Ultimately it is not
The nuts

That are the greatest threat
To democracy.

As history has shown us
Over and over and over again

The greatest threat
To democracy

Is the unbridled power
Of the state

Over its citizens...

Which, by the way,
That power is always unleashed

In the name of
Preservation.

This isn't abstract,
Mandy.

This isn't
A theoretical problem.

The fbi says, "Come out
With your hands up"

You come out
With your hands up--

At which point you are
Free to avail yourself

Of the entire
Justice system.

Do you really believe that

Or are you just pissed off
'cause I got in the game?

Mandy, the president's
Going to go with your plan.

Chafey's going to send in
A negotiator.

Good.

Well, you're in
The game now.

Donna:
If you can't explain
What you're doing there

The assumption is that
You're a sorcerer.

If you try to run,
The assumption is

That you're a
Sorcerer, okay?

So if anything happens,
The prudent thing is

To stand still and calmly
Explain your business.

Well, prudent or not,
Once the scythe comes out

I'm probably going
To haul ass.

Excuse me. I hate
To ask you this

But I need a favor.

What do you need?

My grandparents
Are in a little house

Off the georgia coast.

Are they evacuated?

I don't know where they are.

They lost phone lines
In northeastern georgia.

I'm sorry to ask you this,
But is...

Don't worry about it.

Donna, call fema,
Use my name.

When that doesn't work,
Use leo's name.

It's just that they
Don't get around too well.

We'll find them.

Hi.

I look good tonight,
Don't you think?

Yes.

You good look good, too,
But I look even better.

The fbi guy's been in
There a couple hours.

Yeah?

Think it's
A good sign?

I really don't know.

I'm asking what you think.

I-I don't have any thoughts
On it one way or the other.

What's happening
With the teamsters?

I don't know.

Any news on
The hurricane?

Not that I'm aware of.

What is it you
Do here exactly?

It's never really
Been made clear to me.

Toby?

Sam:
He's not here.

Hey, we look good.

Don't we?

Do you guys want
To be alone?

Hey, I'm finishing up
This speech.

Can you think of some sort
Of personal connection

Between president siguto
And the u.S.?

You know, something
From his past?

He was once almost
Pushed out of an airplane

By a cia-trained
Operative.

I should probably
Leave that out.

Yeah, I would.

Excuse me, josh?

Hey.
Can I speak with
You a moment?

Is he in?

Yeah.

Let's go.
There's a problem.

Mr. Minaldi?

This is mr. Minaldi,
The interpreter

For the
State department.

Josh:
You do speak indonesian,
Don't you?

There's no such language
As indonesian.

Indonesians speak 583
Different languages.

I speak javanese.

Mr. Bambang speaks batak.

Donna!

I know, I know.
I've got it under control.

It's 7:30. Is there
Anyone left at state?

No.
What are we doing?

Well, mr. Minaldi
Speaks portuguese.

Where does
That get us?

Well, there's a guy
Who works in the kitchen

Who can translate
Mr. Bombang's...

Bambang.

...Bambang's batak
Into portuguese.

Then mr. Minaldi
Will translate it into english.

Wait a minute.

Uh, why can't
The kitchen guy

Translate batak
Into english?

The kitchen guy
Doesn't speak english.

You're kidding me.

He speaks
Batak and portuguese

So I wouldn't
Look down your nose.

Is the bar
Open yet?

Yeah.

Make this work.

Excuse me. Have you seen
The fist lady?

Abbey:
C.J.!

Good evening, mrs. Bartlet.

Nice threads, girl.

Thank you, ma'am.

Showing a little decolletage
Wouldn't kill you dead.

Yes, ma'am.

C.J., this is harry
And nancy o'malley

And douglas and barbara colson

And their son, steven,
Who's a cardiologist.

It's nice to
Meet you all.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

This, of course, is c.J.,
My husband's press secretary.

She's not married, steven

And she doesn't have
A boyfriend.

Thank you,
Mrs. Bartlet.

Will you excuse us?

Abbey?

He's a doctor, c.J.

And he's heir to
Colson technologies.

I appreciate the thought.

So what's on your mind?

I spoke to peggy
About the vermeil.

You might get
A few questions.

I'm not embarrassed
By the vermeil.

It's not as if we
Spent new money on it.

Yes, but its history...

It's our history.

Better or worse,
It's our history.

We're not going to lock
It in the basement

Or brush it with
A new coat of paint.

It's our history.

Okay. Well, good answer.

Well, the truth'll do
It almost every time.

Yes, ma'am.

C.J.?

Cardiologist.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is that leo mcgarry, or
Is that fred astaire?

Fred astaire.

Leo, where's
My husband?

He was caught
On a call.

He'll meet you over there.

What's happening
With the teamsters?

They've been at it
For ten hours.

What's your confidence?

We'll be okay.

Good. Mingle.

Mm-hmm.

Anything yet?

I'm on with the red cross.

Well, what
About idaho?

Nobody's calling back.

What is going on?

Guys, schmooze someone for me.

His name's carl everett

And he's raised a ton of money
For us in the midwest.

Carl, I'd like
You to meet...

Toby ziegler

Sam seaborn
And joshua lyman.

Our reputations
Precede us.

They ought to.

You three
Do fine work.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

So how long

Are you in town
For, mr. Everett?

Just for the night.

Let me introduce my date.

Brittany?

This is brittany.

Brittany, this is

Toby ziegler.
Joshua lyman.

Hi.
Hello. Hi.

Sam seaborn.

It's nice to meet you.

Everett:
Look, we're going
To head on over

But maybe I'll get a chance
To talk with you all later.

Joshua:
Great.
Good. Okay.

Joshua:
Have a good time.

Brittany:
Thank you.

Okay.

Bye.

Charlie...

Charlie, your grandparents
Are in a shelter in granville.

Oh, man, thank god.

Thank you, donna.

You know how long
They're going

To have to stay
There for?

Well, people are being sent
Back to their houses right now.

Get this, the hurricane
Shifted direction.

It's heading back out
To the atlantic.

C.J.?

It's a whole new situation.

It's moving east,
Moving back out.

What kind of situation?

For some reason there's
A fleet of ships out there.

Do you know about this?

They evacuated
A battle carrier group

Out of norfolk
This morning

As a standard
Safety precaution.

They're sitting
Right in the path

Of the hurricane.

Can they get out?

Leo, the thing is
600 miles across.

They're locked in.

How bad can this get?

Catastrophic.

What do you want to do?

Let's do this thing,
And then get ready.

I should start

To work now.

I don't want to
Tip the press.

Let's go to a party.

( classical music playing )

Yeah. Okay.

Appreciate your call.

Thank you.

Josh, I'm not hearing
Anything from the fbi

And I'm not hearing
Anything from justice.

It's been about
Half an hour

And I can't get any
Information out of idaho.

It's over.

What do you mean?

That was chafey.

They took the house,
34 occupants.

They're all in custody.

What happened?

They shot
The fbi negotiator.

He's in critical condition.

( applause )

Man:
Ladies and gentlemen,
President and mrs. Bartlet

Accompanied by president
And mrs. Rahm siguto.

Mandy?

I... Should call...
Get on the phone...

I'm going to throw up.

President:
Without warning?

Yeah.

The hurricane just
Shifted direction
Without any warning?

It's not an anomaly,
But it's unusual.

I would think.

Captain, how big is
This carrier group--

How many men, how many ships?

This battle group
Is made up of the
Aircraft carrier

John f. Kennedy, which carries
A crew of 5,000 men

Two guided missile cruisers

Two destroyers,
And two battleships.

All told, it's a little
Over 12,000 men.

How soon before the
Worst of it starts?

About 20 minutes.

Is there any way I can speak
With the fleet commander?

It'll take a few minutes,
But we can set a hookup here.

All right,
Let's do it.

Thank you,
Mr. President.

Thank you.

( sighs )

What's the condition
Of the fbi guy?

They're prepping him
For surgery.

All right.

What do I do now?

Go back to the party.

Mr. Gomez, you speak
Batak, is that correct?

Mr. Gomez...

Senhor gomez, o senhor fala
Batak, correto?

Sim.

Yes.

And as you just
Did, you also
Speak portuguese?

E, como acabou de fazer,
O senhor tambem fala
Portugues?

Sim.

Yes.

But not english?

Mas nao fala ingles?

Nao.

No.
Okay.

Those are two
Tough languages,
Batak and portuguese.

You might want
To take a crack
At english one day

Seeing as how
You live here.

Okai. Sao linguas...
Don't translate that.

Mr. Bambang,
Thank you
For agreeing

To meet with me today.

Senhor bambang, obrigado
Por ter concordado

Em vir me encontrar.

Bapak bambang,
Saya terima kasih bapak

Menyetujuin ketemu
Bersama saya.

Kembali.

Nao tem de que.

You're welcome.

Okay.

Josh:
Sorry I'm late.

I'm josh lyman.

Desculpem o atraso.

Meu nome e josh lyman.

Ma'af saya telat.

Nama saya josh lyman...

This is going
To take awhile.

Pleased to meet you.

Are you enjoying the evening?

This isn't really
The best context
For chit-chat

You know
What I mean?

Mandy's pretty upset.

Did you talk
To her?

I didn't do
A great job.

I didn't like the salmon.

Hmm?

He's an answering a question
From like a half an hour ago.

Mr. Bambang...

Why don't we just speak
In english?

Donna...

I was told that he...

Josh:
Yes.

You should keep in mind
All the things I do right.

Yes.

Donna:
Should I go?

Yes.

Mr. Gomez, mr. Minaldi,
Thank you for your trouble.

( speaking portuguese )

What can I do for you,
Gentlemen?

A friend of mine is
In one of your jails...

I want you to let him out.

But your friend
Isn't an american.

He's french.

Well, then why not let

The french take care
Of this one?

Because he's my friend

And the french
Don't give a damn.

The extradition process
Is one that might...

We're not talking about
The extradition process.

What we're talking about
Is that you unlock the cell

You put him in a car,
And you drive him to the border.

Your friend led
Anti-government demonstrations?

That's what he does.

He teaches students
How to protest.

And so you're asking this
As a favor?

Yes.

Senior aide to senior aide.

Yes.

I think you have
A lot of nerve.

That was a despicable
And humiliating toast

Your president made

And I know you were
The one who wrote it.

Please understand that with
So many people watching

With so much media coverage

It was important for us
To make clear

That the united states,
With its commitment
To human rights...

Mr. Ziegler, does it strike you
At all hypocritical

That a people who
Systematically wiped out

A century's worth
Of native americans

Should lecture the world
So earnestly on human rights?

Yes, it does.

You humiliated
My president tonight

And for no other reason
Than to show off.

And now you want me
To do you a favor?

Go to hell.

We'll talk
To the french.

Yeah.

Toby...

We'll talk
To the french.

Yeah.

( typing on keyboard )

That's a nice dress.

( sighs )

You're not supposed to be
Back here right now.

Kdhn in boise is reporting
An fbi agent went down

In a raid in a house
In mcclane.

We'll have a statement
In 15 minutes.

What happened?

Did you hear me say

We'd have a statement
In 15 minutes?

God, danny.
What did I do?

When you flirt with me

Are you doing it
To get a story?

No.
Why are you doing it?

I'm doing it
To flirt with you.

I don't believe you.

I know.
So?

So that's your problem.

What's hurricane sara
About to hit?

You're the one
Who goes around town

Saying that I'm too friendly
With the press corps

And that that makes me
A weak press secretary.

I never said you were
A weak press secretary.

But you've been thinking it.

I thought you did well
With the vermeil scandal.

See, you're doing it.

I know.

I have work to do.

No problem.

You really like the dress?

Yes.

All right, whatever.

I hope the fbi guy
Pulls through.

15 minutes.

Russo:
To accept these policies
Means that the teamsters union

Will be significantly
Weakened in its ability

To represent or retain the
Loyalty of younger workers

And we're not going
To let that happen.

I disagree.

No kidding?

How we doing?

We're at an impasse,
Mr. President.

Hungry?

Yes, sir.

Tired.

Yes, sir.

Talk to me for five minutes
Apiece

And then we're going
To settle this.

Stay standing.

Sam.

Carl. Brittany.

Uh, have you got just a minute?

Sure.

Can I cut to the last page?

Sure.

I think you're someone

That I could have
A relationship with.

You want to have a relationship
With me?

What do you think?

I cost $500 an hour.

In the private sector,
I billed out at $500 an hour.

I don't understand.

Would you like some of my food?

Oh, there's todd.

Excuse me. Todd!

I didn't know.

What were you thinking?

I told you I didn't know
Where he was taking me.

He just tells you
What to wear?

That's right.
That's great.

I'm sorry sam, but this isn't
Exactly your business.

I'm not here because of you.

I'm just here
Because I'm here.

I would be here whether
You were here or not.

You're just some guy
Who happens to know me.

Thank you.
You know what I mean.

No. Could you keep
Talking about being
Here and not being here

Until blood starts
Pouring out of my ears?

Sam.

Mrs. Bartlet,
Good evening.

Are you enjoying yourself?

Yes.

Sam?

Yes?

Would you introduce me
To your friend?

Okay.

Mrs. Bartlet,
I'm brittany rollins.

Abigail bartlett.

It's an honor
To meet you, ma'am.

Oh, aren't you sweet.

I'm sorry to interrupt you.

Actually, I was looking
For the president.

He had to step out
To the west wing.

Oh.
I'm not sure why,
But I could...

To pistol-whip
The trucking industry.

Uh, why would he...?

Because he can't save

A gunshot victim,
And he can't stop a hurricane.

You are
Thoroughly charming.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Yes, ma'am.

That was incredible.

I'm just going to eat,
If that's okay.

Sam...

I'll give you $10,000 not to go
Home with that guy tonight.

Everett:
Brittany?

Little:
Such a broad inflationary surge
Would wreak havoc

On the economic policies
That have allowed

The united states
To enjoy an
Unprecedented...

Time's up.

I didn't get
My full five minutes...

Yes, but I got tired
Of listening to you.

I have a nobel prize
In economics

And I'm here to tell you
That none of you know

What the hell
You're talking about.

At 12:01 a.M.

I'm using my executive power

To nationalize
The trucking industry.

You can't do that,
Mr. President...

14 white house lawyers disagree.

Truman did it in '52
With the coal mines.

That was struck down
By the supreme court.

It's been 50 years, there's a
New bench; I'll take my chances.

As for labor, I am
Calling congress into
An emergency session

To grant me the authority
To draft the truckers

Into military service.

You're going
To love our food.

Nice talking to you folks.

If this isn't settled
In 47 minutes

Don't worry,
We know where to find you.

I shouldn't have stayed away
So long.

Hey.

I'm all right.

No, I should've have
Extended the trip. I'm sorry.

I approved a plan for
An fbi negotiator.

I know.

He's in surgery now.

I know.

You know, one of
The things that happens

When I stay away too long
Is that you forget

That you don't have
The power to fix everything.

You have a big brain
And a good heart

And an ego
The size of montana.

( chuckling )

You do, jed.

You don't have the power
To fix everything.

But I do like watching you try.

What the hell...?

Well, if this
Isn't a metaphor
For powerlessness

I don't know what is.

( chuckling )

We better get
Back to work, huh?

We got
The fleet commander?

Not yet. The j.F.K.'s
Radios have been
Knocked out

Along with
Communications

On the normandy
And south carolina.

All we've got
Is the hickory.

It's a little
Maintenance
And supply boat

That sails around
With the fleet.

So I guess I'm going to talk
To the captain of the hickory?

Their intercom's
Been knocked out.

They're looking
For him on foot, sir.

Is there somebody on there now?

The kid in
The radio shack.

You're kidding?

No, sir.

Jed, talk to the boy.

Hello?

Hello, anyone there?

Man:
This is the u.S.S. Hickory.

Hickory, this is
The white house.

Who am I speaking to?

This is signalman third class
Harold lewis.

Son, this is president bartlet.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

Is your c.O. Around?

Sir, they're getting him
Right now, sir.

Can I talk to you
In the meantime?

Hello?

I... Yes, sir.

Are you all right, harold?

My head hit on... I hit my head.

Are you bleeding?

Yes, sir.

Can you put something on it?

I-I need to get to the...
To the other...

I-I can't reach it.

Well, you go over and get it.

I'll stay right here.

Harold?

Harold, are you back?

Yes, sir. I think the skipper
Should be here any minute, sir.

Can you tell us what's going on?

Well...

Harold?

Hello?

We're here!

Yeah?

Can you tell us what's going on?

Well, we're looking, I-I guess,
At 80-foot seas

With winds up to 120 knots.

We're shipping solid green water
Over the bow

And we've got a fire
In the engine room.

We lost our running lights

And we may get run over
By an aircraft carrier

That can't see in the dark.

Well, I don't know, man.

Sounds pretty bad, harold.

I think I'd ask
For my money back.

Harold?

Yes, sir?

I'm going to stay right here

As long as the radio works,
Okay?

Yes, sir.

Hang on.

Son?

Do you hear me? Hang on.
