ANNOUNCER:
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,576
The only thing you can
pray for on this job
3
00:00:08,642 --> 00:00:10,978
is the strength
to get through the day.
4
00:00:11,045 --> 00:00:12,046
What?
5
00:00:12,113 --> 00:00:13,314
We won California.
6
00:00:13,381 --> 00:00:15,183
How did we end up
in a crouch?
7
00:00:15,249 --> 00:00:17,551
I'm not changing my ads
because of a stunt.
8
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:20,254
Eric Baker's live
on MSNBC right now.
9
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:22,656
This is the time that
I can keep my commitment
Says he's not runnin
10
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:25,193
to the people of Pennsylvania
to be a full-time governor.
11
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:27,361
Are you asking me
on a date?
12
00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:28,596
You haven't said that you'll go.
13
00:00:30,098 --> 00:00:31,732
I don't want
to leave you guys
14
00:00:31,799 --> 00:00:34,702
with just a candy-gram
and a get-well card.
15
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:36,570
We'll be fine.
16
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:40,708
MAN:
As most of you know,
17
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:45,479
President Bartlet won
a Nobel Prize years ago...
18
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:48,382
for economics.
( audience laughs )
19
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:50,084
( knocking )
Yeah.
20
00:00:50,151 --> 00:00:51,852
Mr. Vice President,
the governor is here.
21
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:53,654
Show him in.
22
00:00:55,956 --> 00:00:56,990
Governor.
23
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:58,426
Mr. Vice President.
24
00:00:58,492 --> 00:01:01,262
What have they been saying?
25
00:01:01,329 --> 00:01:03,297
( sighs )
Bartlet-bashing mostly.
26
00:01:03,364 --> 00:01:05,466
One advantage of not yet
having our nominee.
27
00:01:05,533 --> 00:01:07,468
They could be going after you.
28
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:09,069
Have a seat.
29
00:01:09,137 --> 00:01:10,338
( laughter on TV )
30
00:01:10,404 --> 00:01:12,840
SPEAKER:
If you had something of theirs,
31
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,275
they're gonna need it back!
32
00:01:14,342 --> 00:01:16,076
( turns TV off )
It's good of you to come.
33
00:01:16,144 --> 00:01:18,179
My pleasure.
34
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:19,447
I don't need to tell you
35
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:21,682
what a critical time
this is for our party.
36
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:24,352
Brokered convention.
It's been a while.
37
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:27,888
After the first ballot,
we need a consensus nominee.
38
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:29,123
Consensus?
39
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:31,125
We're Democrats.
( chuckles )
40
00:01:31,192 --> 00:01:32,793
The right ticket
could create one.
41
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:35,163
There's press speculation
42
00:01:35,229 --> 00:01:37,465
about Matt Santos as VP.
43
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:38,366
Of course.
44
00:01:38,432 --> 00:01:40,668
But you've got
to think seriously
45
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,203
about regional balance.
46
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:43,571
I think that'd be a must.
47
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:45,639
Vinick's a moderate.
States'll be in play
48
00:01:45,706 --> 00:01:47,341
that Democrats are
used to counting on.
49
00:01:47,408 --> 00:01:48,642
We need to protect our flank.
50
00:01:48,709 --> 00:01:51,312
Vinick's well-liked
in my state.
51
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:55,649
...from the convention straight
through to the general....
52
00:01:55,716 --> 00:01:59,387
We're gonna want to do
everything possible
53
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,423
to make sure that...
goes for us.
54
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:06,026
Thirsty? You want
something to drink?
55
00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:07,795
Sure.
56
00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:09,497
Absolutely.
57
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,102
Eight is enough!
58
00:02:15,169 --> 00:02:17,738
( applause )
59
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:21,242
Eight is enough!
60
00:02:21,309 --> 00:02:24,712
Eight long liberal years
61
00:02:24,778 --> 00:02:28,249
of social policies out of step
with the values...
62
00:02:28,316 --> 00:02:30,684
Elevating oratory.
63
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:35,756
Boil your message down
to the title of a bad TV show.
64
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:38,125
Careful. It was formative
for many of us.
65
00:02:38,192 --> 00:02:39,693
Formative?
Crush on the mom.
66
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,961
Very Mrs. Robinson.
67
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:42,230
What were you, eight?
68
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:44,031
Yeah. She seemed knowing.
69
00:02:44,097 --> 00:02:45,433
Eight kids.
70
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:48,236
Maybe not so knowing
about contraception.
71
00:02:48,302 --> 00:02:49,703
What's he been saying?
72
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:51,339
I wouldn't know.
I'm not watching.
73
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:53,707
Yeah, we were "not watching"
up in the suite.
74
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:56,510
What do we say to years
of failed trade policies?
75
00:02:56,577 --> 00:02:58,045
AUDIENCE:
Eight is enough!
76
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:00,848
SPEAKER:
To years of overregulation?
77
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:04,452
SPEAKER:
To years of windfalls
for trial lawyers?
78
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:09,390
SPEAKER:
To bloated bureaucracy,
runaway entitlements,
79
00:03:09,457 --> 00:03:10,991
and endless red tape?
80
00:03:11,058 --> 00:03:13,394
What say we?
81
00:03:13,461 --> 00:03:15,663
SPEAKER:
Eight is enough.
Would eight,
( phone rings ) be enough?
82
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:16,730
Uncanny.
83
00:03:16,797 --> 00:03:17,798
Psychic.
84
00:03:17,865 --> 00:03:18,966
You need to...
85
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:21,201
Someone I'm meeting later.
86
00:03:21,269 --> 00:03:23,036
Don't want to keep
a lady waiting.
87
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:24,071
It's good for her.
88
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:27,241
To years of radical, activist...
89
00:03:27,308 --> 00:03:28,709
You wanted to talk?
90
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:32,613
I have a proposition.
91
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:35,283
You been watching this?
92
00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:36,284
Is the congressman in?
93
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:37,518
Yeah, but...
94
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:40,020
Whoa.
Um...
95
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:41,555
It's okay.
Sorry.
96
00:03:41,622 --> 00:03:43,291
My time is your time.
Yeah, evidently.
97
00:03:43,357 --> 00:03:44,758
What's up?
98
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:45,759
I'll just, um...
99
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:47,761
You should probably
hear this, too.
100
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:54,134
in return for us releasing
our convention delegates,
101
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:55,903
is prepared
to name Matthew Santos
102
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:57,271
as the Democratic nominee
103
00:03:57,338 --> 00:03:59,440
for Vice President
of the United States.
104
00:04:53,494 --> 00:04:55,929
Vice President?
105
00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:58,031
To Russell?
106
00:04:58,098 --> 00:04:59,433
They've given us till Thursday.
107
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:00,868
Well, don't need it.
Tell them we pass.
108
00:05:00,934 --> 00:05:02,470
We do, do we?
109
00:05:03,904 --> 00:05:05,506
What do you think?
110
00:05:05,573 --> 00:05:06,807
He's trying to act
like the front-runner.
111
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:08,476
He is the front-runner.
112
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:10,210
By the skin You've gotth.
all the momentum.
113
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:11,379
If this race had gone
one more week,
114
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:13,514
you would be the one ahead.
115
00:05:13,581 --> 00:05:16,950
It avoids a messy floor fight,
chaotic convention.
116
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,486
Also known as exciting,
117
00:05:18,552 --> 00:05:19,787
also known as great television.
118
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:21,422
Also known as there goes
the Democrats again.
119
00:05:21,489 --> 00:05:22,856
They can never get
their crap together.
120
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:24,024
The best argument is
121
00:05:24,091 --> 00:05:26,560
it sets you up
as the consensus front-runner
122
00:05:26,627 --> 00:05:28,562
in either four or eight years.
123
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:29,730
Nomination
would be yours.
124
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:31,331
Or you're so tainted
by association,
125
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:32,533
when Vinick cleans
Russell's clock,
126
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,767
you can't run for dogcatcher.
127
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:37,204
I don't think anyone elects
dogcatchers anymore.
128
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:39,172
My dad ran for dogcatcher.
Really?
129
00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:40,774
No.
This whole campaign
130
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:42,710
has been predicated on,
driven by,
131
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:44,812
gotten all of
the aforementioned momentum
132
00:05:44,878 --> 00:05:47,515
from the ironclad conviction
that Russell can't win.
133
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:51,118
I am a three-term congressman
134
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,821
at the second most powerful job
in the world.
135
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,724
I thought we were discussing
the vice presidency.
136
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:58,358
How about we all sleep on it?
137
00:06:02,229 --> 00:06:03,564
Hey, it's, uh...
138
00:06:03,631 --> 00:06:05,999
getting real, isn't it?
139
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,335
Real as it gets.
140
00:06:08,402 --> 00:06:09,570
( door slams )
141
00:06:09,637 --> 00:06:11,939
I'll call you right back.
142
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:13,507
Well...?
143
00:06:13,574 --> 00:06:14,542
You didn't expect
an answer.
144
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:17,945
How it hit You know Josh. What's
he gonna recommend?
145
00:06:21,248 --> 00:06:23,383
I'm not asking you to betray
king and country. A best guess.
146
00:06:23,451 --> 00:06:24,718
I have no idea.
147
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:26,487
That's a real coup
for Santos,
148
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:27,988
obscurity to
the vice presidency.
149
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:29,790
WILL:
He'd be a fool
not to take it.
150
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:31,091
It elevates him
to the big leagues.
151
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:32,125
How'd it go with Baker?
152
00:06:32,192 --> 00:06:33,461
Definitely receptive.
153
00:06:33,527 --> 00:06:34,495
You said nothing explicit?
154
00:06:34,562 --> 00:06:35,863
No. He got the drift.
155
00:06:35,929 --> 00:06:37,164
Santos turns us down,
we go to Baker.
156
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:38,398
Win-win.
157
00:06:38,466 --> 00:06:42,135
Good day, really good day.
158
00:06:42,202 --> 00:06:44,738
Treasury, Commerce, OMB,
159
00:06:44,805 --> 00:06:46,840
I want all hands out
refuting that bilious swill
160
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,709
the Republicans
were spewing last night.
161
00:06:48,776 --> 00:06:50,310
Hey.
Is for horses.
162
00:06:50,377 --> 00:06:51,979
Thank you, Grammy Cregg.
163
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:54,014
You can take the girl
out of the Midwest.
164
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:56,249
As fast as her little feet
could fly, or not so little.
165
00:06:56,316 --> 00:06:58,586
Something's gone wrong with
the international space station.
166
00:06:58,652 --> 00:06:59,687
It's losing oxygen.
167
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:01,054
The astronauts onboard
can't fix it?
168
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:03,090
Not so far. I've got
a NASA administrator
169
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,357
wants to see the President.
170
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,927
President's unavailable.
Bring him here.
171
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,633
Morning.
172
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,935
You watch last night's
Bartlet bash-a-thon.
173
00:07:15,002 --> 00:07:17,137
They think it'll be Russell.
They're tying him to us.
174
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:18,906
Bob Russell's had
about as much to do
175
00:07:18,972 --> 00:07:20,474
with what's gone on
around here as...
176
00:07:21,575 --> 00:07:23,977
"I had the job, but no one
actually listened to me."
177
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:26,714
Get ready for press questions
about how organized
178
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,149
and unified the Republicans
are compared to us.
179
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:32,019
"Organized." They're about
as spontaneous as...
180
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:34,221
I actually can't think
of anything as unspontaneous
181
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,422
as a Republican convention.
182
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:38,225
Four nights
of Swiss watch precision--
183
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:40,761
we get a pie fight.
184
00:07:40,828 --> 00:07:43,230
PRESIDENT:
Thanks, Nancy. Steve, come in.
185
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:44,765
Children.
186
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:45,966
Infants.
187
00:07:46,033 --> 00:07:49,402
Yeah, there's a lot at stake
for these candidates.
188
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,672
and that's what my days
have become. Baby-sitting.
189
00:07:51,739 --> 00:07:53,674
Tantrums, Mr. President.
190
00:07:53,741 --> 00:07:55,008
"They have more floor passes."
191
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:56,810
"We need a bigger room
in the hall."
192
00:07:56,877 --> 00:07:58,779
"We don't like this hotel.
We want their hotel."
193
00:07:58,846 --> 00:08:00,614
I'm sorry
this is falling to you.
194
00:08:00,681 --> 00:08:02,315
Until we have a nominee...
195
00:08:02,382 --> 00:08:03,551
You saw last week's Timecover.
196
00:08:03,617 --> 00:08:05,185
"The Exploding Donkey."
197
00:08:05,252 --> 00:08:07,555
"Dems in Disarray."
198
00:08:07,621 --> 00:08:09,389
You know what next week's
are gonna be.
199
00:08:09,456 --> 00:08:10,858
"Republicans on a Roll"?
200
00:08:10,924 --> 00:08:12,993
( sighs )
Something has to be done, sir.
201
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:14,628
I've reached the end
of my influence.
202
00:08:14,695 --> 00:08:16,396
They're not listening
to the nanny anymore.
203
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:19,667
We may be in danger
of overextending the metaphor.
204
00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:22,135
We need Daddy to step in.
205
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,106
A rescue operation
is obviously called for,
206
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,141
but the space shuttles
are grounded right now,
207
00:08:28,208 --> 00:08:30,177
pending an uncompleted
safety review and retrofit.
208
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:32,613
And the Russians can't get
a launch together in time.
209
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,949
Hmm. Assuming the present rate
How of oxygen loss,got?
210
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,751
in three weeks they'll be dead.
211
00:08:37,818 --> 00:08:39,452
Can't a shuttle be
pressed into service,
212
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:40,654
not withstanding the review?
213
00:08:40,721 --> 00:08:42,522
One's missing half
its wing assembly
214
00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:45,492
and the other one's undergoing
a complete tile replacement.
215
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,260
Now, we can try
and speed up repairs...
216
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:50,363
The concern would then be
losing the shuttle crew
217
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:53,000
Now, that's the
and the spacecivilian shuttle.
218
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,602
Sorry?
219
00:08:57,738 --> 00:08:59,306
Can we speak with the President?
220
00:09:00,708 --> 00:09:02,610
Yeah, they want to announce,
221
00:09:02,676 --> 00:09:04,812
right after
the Republican convention.
222
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:07,014
Blunt the bounce. Smart.
223
00:09:10,918 --> 00:09:12,853
"Why didn't we offer ite're
I'vto him first?"g: smart?
224
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,822
Because we hope to do better
for our vice president.
225
00:09:16,189 --> 00:09:18,558
If Hoynes's bimbo eruption had
happened three weeks earlier,nt.
226
00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:19,660
we're the nominee...
227
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:21,228
if New York had been later.
228
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:22,963
Yeah, if wishes,
horses, et cetera.
229
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:24,965
What is that?
From some Dylan song?
230
00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:26,700
Guys your age have this thing
about Dylan.
231
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:27,868
"Guys my age"?
232
00:09:28,869 --> 00:09:31,238
We got close.
Look, this iRussell got closer.
233
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:32,806
Neither of us is home.
234
00:09:32,873 --> 00:09:33,974
They're offering
a bird in the hand.
235
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,108
You know that one?
What about Hoynes?
236
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:36,509
He doesn't want it
to be Russell.
237
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:37,978
He doesn't want it to be us.
238
00:09:38,045 --> 00:09:40,681
You think he still thinks
he has a hope in hell?
239
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:42,249
He's gonna milk this
for all it's worth.h
240
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:43,784
And, yes, I believe that
241
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:47,520
somewhere in the back of his
deeply deluded political mind,
242
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,123
he imagines:
deadlocked convention.
243
00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:52,893
Nation turns its
lonely eyes to Hoynes.
244
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,095
Forget Hoynes.
Simon and Garfunkel.
245
00:09:55,162 --> 00:09:56,964
He's a wounded animal.
He could wind up doing anything.
246
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,301
Matt Santos for President.
247
00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:02,535
Yeah, just a moment.
248
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:03,971
Will Bailey for you.
249
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:08,508
Yeah.
250
00:10:08,575 --> 00:10:10,343
Just checking in.
251
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:12,913
Any preliminary thoughts
on our offer?Okay.
252
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:14,848
It's the next thing
we're gonna talk about.
253
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:16,717
Thought the Congressman
might want to sit down
254
00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:17,751
with the Vice President.
255
00:10:17,818 --> 00:10:19,086
I'll get back to you about that.
256
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:20,754
Okay.
257
00:10:20,821 --> 00:10:22,656
I'll talk to you later.
258
00:10:23,757 --> 00:10:26,093
What'd he say?
259
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,862
Get me Hollofson.
Baker's chief of staff.
260
00:10:28,929 --> 00:10:30,998
We're gonna want
to stay in touch.
261
00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:37,905
They run out of oxygen
How lonin less than three weeks.
262
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,707
If the leak doesn't get worse.
263
00:10:39,773 --> 00:10:42,575
Sir, the NASA administrator
264
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,378
alluded to a
non-civilian shuttle.
265
00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:48,381
Wernher von Braun's
autobiography was titled,
266
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:50,751
I Aim for the Stars.
267
00:10:50,818 --> 00:10:52,853
Mort Sahl joked
he should have added,
268
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,487
"Only Sometimes
I Hit London."
269
00:10:54,554 --> 00:10:56,623
I want hourly updates
on everything
270
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:57,725
that's being done to fix this.
271
00:10:57,791 --> 00:10:58,992
Thank you, C.J.
272
00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:01,228
Thank you, Mr. President.
273
00:11:10,771 --> 00:11:11,972
Oh, thanks, Bill.
274
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:13,841
You know I'm counting on you.
275
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,309
WOMAN:
Left, left, left.
276
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:20,113
And that is exactly
how Americans feel
Bye.
277
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,850
about the Bartlet-Russell
White House.
278
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,151
Left, left,
279
00:11:24,217 --> 00:11:26,519
left behind.
280
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:29,823
( applause )
281
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:35,395
Finish all your calls?
282
00:11:35,462 --> 00:11:36,529
( chuckles )
283
00:11:36,596 --> 00:11:38,231
You don't finish.
284
00:11:38,298 --> 00:11:42,635
At some point you just
decide to stop dialing.
285
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:45,005
How you feeling?
286
00:11:45,072 --> 00:11:48,175
Hard to say no
to the vice presidency.
287
00:11:48,241 --> 00:11:50,643
Well, it's not what
you signed up for.
288
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,612
No one signs up
to come in second.
289
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,314
Are you kidding me?
290
00:11:54,381 --> 00:11:56,016
We didn't.
291
00:11:56,083 --> 00:11:58,551
No.
292
00:11:58,618 --> 00:12:01,154
( chuckles )
293
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:06,760
Hard to say no
to the vice presidency.
294
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,862
You don't have to
for another couple days.
295
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:17,805
Night, Congressman.
Good night.
296
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:32,152
My fellow Americans,
297
00:12:32,219 --> 00:12:34,822
the body politic is ailing.
298
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:40,460
We have businesses paralyzed
by overregulation.
You're not going there.
299
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:45,132
An international profile that's
a shadow of our former strength.
Tell me you're not going the
300
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:48,501
A foreign policy stumbling
from one crisis to another.
Is he doing what I think he is?
301
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:51,104
The MS. He's invoking the MS.
Infrastructure progressively
302
00:12:51,171 --> 00:12:52,739
falling apart
before our very eyes.
303
00:12:52,806 --> 00:12:54,141
This is going to backfire.
304
00:12:54,207 --> 00:12:56,709
A defense department
that's enfeebled.
305
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:59,146
Maybe people
won't get it.
306
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:02,682
with complications,
it's positively sclerotic.
307
00:13:02,749 --> 00:13:04,351
Okay, they'll get that.
308
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:06,719
Well, I don't know about you,
but I am sick and tired
309
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:08,155
of being sick and tired.
310
00:13:08,221 --> 00:13:10,157
You're going to hell!
311
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:15,395
Arnold Vinick has the right
prescription for America!s
sit over h
312
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:17,230
( crowd cheering )
313
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:22,035
Arnold Vinick: strong medicine
for a stronger nation.
How you doing?
314
00:13:22,102 --> 00:13:24,204
I mean, I realize
the VP candidates
315
00:13:24,271 --> 00:13:26,239
that designated hatchet man,
but that...
316
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:28,375
If Santos accepts, you
can get your revenge.
317
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:31,578
Yeah, you think I might find
five or 500 ways
318
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:32,913
to call Vinick old?
319
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,948
You want sclerotic,
I'll give you sclerotic.
320
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:36,549
Santos wouldn't do it.
321
00:13:36,616 --> 00:13:37,918
Probably not.
322
00:13:37,985 --> 00:13:39,319
Maybe why he shouldn't
take the job.
323
00:13:39,386 --> 00:13:40,720
Maybe why he'd be
a great choice.
324
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:41,889
Restore some civility.
325
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:43,490
You want him to accept?
326
00:13:43,556 --> 00:13:45,125
You don't?
327
00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:47,560
I have concerns.
328
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:50,397
He's not hit man enough.
329
00:13:50,463 --> 00:13:51,932
He's too much voltage
at the bottom of the ticket.
330
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:55,302
Gets people wishing
the names were reversed.
331
00:13:55,368 --> 00:13:57,470
Gets people willing to wait
till next time.
332
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:00,908
How'd you get so smart
about this?
333
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:02,442
I had a good teacher.
334
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:04,277
Thanks.
335
00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:09,349
I meant Will.
336
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,296
Drive safely.
Good night.
337
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,497
Good night.
338
00:14:38,178 --> 00:14:40,147
PRESIDENT:
Evening, Charlie.
339
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:47,620
Mr. President, um...
340
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:50,290
Listening to relentless attacks
upon my record
341
00:14:50,357 --> 00:14:51,992
seems to have left me
wakeful.
342
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:54,294
Thought I'd stretch
my legs.
343
00:14:55,662 --> 00:14:59,232
that we're caught in this
terribly embarrassing situation.
344
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:02,635
It's...
345
00:15:02,702 --> 00:15:04,204
I think perhaps
346
00:15:04,271 --> 00:15:05,638
the best thing
is for us to carry on
347
00:15:05,705 --> 00:15:07,640
as if this encounter
hadn't happened.
348
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:09,109
Due respect,
349
00:15:09,176 --> 00:15:11,311
I'm having a hard time
exactly imagining that.
350
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,982
It'we both have to be at work
in the min a few hours,
351
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:18,251
and you're standing
outside my daughter's bedroom.
352
00:15:18,318 --> 00:15:19,987
I'd say we give it
a shot.
353
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,322
( sighs )
354
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:26,259
Night, Charlie.
355
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:29,096
Good night, Mr. President.
356
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:40,873
C.J.:
Good morning.
357
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:42,976
Morning.
Morning.
358
00:15:43,043 --> 00:15:45,378
What's the status
of the space station leak?
359
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:46,179
Unchanged.
360
00:15:46,246 --> 00:15:47,514
Current thinking on options?
361
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:49,482
Sections of the
space station
362
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:50,283
can be sealed off.
363
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:53,286
the crew can repair, too,
There to conserve air.tments
364
00:15:53,353 --> 00:15:55,055
Which just delays
the inevitable.
365
00:15:55,122 --> 00:15:56,489
Which buys time to
fix the problem.
366
00:15:56,556 --> 00:15:57,724
Ground-based
engineers work
367
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:58,725
around the clock on this.
368
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,027
Around the world.
369
00:16:00,093 --> 00:16:01,428
Which is great
and inspirational,
370
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,063
and hopefully, they'll make
one heck of a movie,
371
00:16:04,097 --> 00:16:05,698
buI don't particularly relish
these effortthe idea
372
00:16:05,765 --> 00:16:07,734
of dead astronauts
floating weightless
373
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,002
in some spaceship sarcophagus.
374
00:16:09,069 --> 00:16:10,003
Rescue options?
375
00:16:10,070 --> 00:16:11,838
That's NASA's area.
376
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:13,506
DoD's space program
expenditures
377
00:16:13,573 --> 00:16:16,543
for the last fiscal year
came to $22.9 billion,
378
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:20,647
or seven billion more
than NASA's civilian program.
379
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:22,682
WhatThat's what the Chinese
we spewould like to know.
380
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:24,851
Well, since they're not here,
maybe you could just tell me.
381
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:28,988
Missile warning,
command and control.
382
00:16:29,056 --> 00:16:31,358
20 billion to tell us
every time the sun burps?
383
00:16:31,424 --> 00:16:33,426
They can disrupt
satellite communications.
384
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,428
Yes, and Grand Old Opry
broadcasts.
385
00:16:36,263 --> 00:16:37,830
Are we weaponizing space?
386
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:40,233
Air Force Special Command
operates and supports
387
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,001
the Global Positioning System
388
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:45,038
and military
communications satellites.
389
00:16:45,105 --> 00:16:47,074
space systems can support
war fightersok at
390
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:49,142
in navigation, intelligence.
391
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:51,244
Is that weaponizing space?
392
00:16:51,311 --> 00:16:53,480
Space-based lasers,
highly targeted,
393
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:54,481
no nuclear fallout.
394
00:16:54,547 --> 00:16:56,216
Space-based
kinetic energy weapons,
395
00:16:56,283 --> 00:16:57,984
hunter-killer satellites.
396
00:16:58,051 --> 00:16:59,652
R&D guys talk
about a lot of things.
397
00:16:59,719 --> 00:17:01,621
A military space shuttle.
398
00:17:01,688 --> 00:17:03,590
Reusable launch vehicle.
399
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:04,624
Space bomber.
400
00:17:06,159 --> 00:17:08,261
That has
the theoretical capability
401
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:11,264
of launching and dropping
a weapon anywhere in the world.
402
00:17:11,331 --> 00:17:12,332
With virtually
no ability
403
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:14,634
to detect it in advance.
404
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:16,169
of conventional of reach
air defense systems.
405
00:17:16,236 --> 00:17:17,770
Theoretical capability.
406
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:21,908
No one wants space to become
a battleground.
407
00:17:21,974 --> 00:17:23,843
C.J.:
Is that the argument
in favor of building it?
408
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:26,979
Is that the argument in favor
of not building it?
409
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,316
in favor of building it
Or iand not telling anyone?
410
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:32,219
The answer to that would be yes.
411
00:17:33,653 --> 00:17:35,955
to go up and rescue
Annabethese space station
a contastronautsan
412
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:37,457
if they can't
fix the leak?
413
00:17:37,524 --> 00:17:39,626
NASA is exploring
all their options.
414
00:17:39,692 --> 00:17:41,561
The precise nature
of what those comprise
415
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,296
is something best gotten
from them,
416
00:17:43,363 --> 00:17:46,399
but the President
has every confidence
417
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:48,801
What's the White House reaction
to the Bartlet-bashingexperti
418
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:50,770
on display
at the Republican convention?
419
00:17:50,837 --> 00:17:52,639
Not aware anyone
around here's seen it.
420
00:17:52,705 --> 00:17:53,440
No one?
421
00:17:53,506 --> 00:17:55,308
We have a country
to mis-run.
422
00:17:55,375 --> 00:17:57,144
( chuckling )
CHARLAYNE:
So, you saw it?
423
00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:01,614
I gleaned the gist:
"Republican good, Democrat bad."
424
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:03,983
Would the White House
Sophisticatcare to comment on
Nuancethe expected contrast
425
00:18:04,050 --> 00:18:07,620
between the high degree
of organization and discipline
426
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:10,390
and the Democrats'
ianticipated free-for-all?on
427
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:13,092
I believe the American people
will be the beneficiaries,
428
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,161
in that they will
be presented
429
00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:15,795
with a clear choice:
430
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:18,131
do they want to be governed
by people who are animated...
431
00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:20,833
or animatronic?
432
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:22,835
NANCY:
Mr. President,
the First Lady's back,
433
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:23,836
and Leo's here.
434
00:18:23,903 --> 00:18:24,937
Send him in, please.
435
00:18:25,004 --> 00:18:25,938
NANCY:
Mr. McGarry.
436
00:18:26,005 --> 00:18:28,007
Good morning, Mr. President.
437
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:29,008
Leo.
438
00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:30,243
How you feeling, sir?
439
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:32,412
Vexed, riled, irked.
440
00:18:32,479 --> 00:18:33,746
The Republican convention.
441
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:35,448
Ticked, honked, pissed.
442
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:41,020
You Problem is, once you're keep
persotelling yourself that,f.
443
00:18:41,087 --> 00:18:42,755
You're already taking it
it'spersonally.
444
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:45,024
Gonna be more of the same
next couple nights.
445
00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:49,196
We've got calls from everybody
in the party about ours.
446
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:50,897
Rorsche is going to pieces.
447
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,999
The rock that he is.
Thought he might
cry in here--
448
00:18:53,065 --> 00:18:54,534
actual tears.
449
00:18:54,601 --> 00:18:56,769
But with no nominee,
they're running right over him.
450
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:59,339
We need someone strong enough
to organize the damn thing.
451
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:01,541
Wonder who we can get.
If it helps,
452
00:19:01,608 --> 00:19:04,511
it gives me no pleasure,
dumping this damn thing on you.
453
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:06,679
There's the pleasure
of not having to do it yourself.
454
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:08,715
Which is not
inconsiderable.
455
00:19:08,781 --> 00:19:11,851
Let's get representatives
of the three candidates in here,
456
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:15,021
set down some ground rules,
establish a tone.
457
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:18,024
A floor fight doesn't have
to devolve into a brawl.
458
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:19,359
There anything
to these press rumors
459
00:19:19,426 --> 00:19:21,328
of a Russell-Santos deal?
460
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:22,729
Be a smart move.
461
00:19:22,795 --> 00:19:24,731
A Latino on the
ticket from Texas
462
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:26,733
gives us a genuine
shot there. Florida.
463
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:28,601
Maybe even makes
California contestable.
464
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:31,003
Let's not get carried away.
The Southwest.
465
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:34,207
Vinick's politics puts
these places in play.
466
00:19:34,274 --> 00:19:36,108
we're coming out of this
with a nominee. anot
467
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:37,744
Be nice if he didn't seem
468
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:39,779
like merely
the last clown standing.
469
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:42,114
KELWICK:
Another space walk is scheduled
470
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,717
for 0900 hours Houston time
471
00:19:44,784 --> 00:19:47,086
to again try and source
the oxygen leak.
472
00:19:47,153 --> 00:19:49,922
Now, the problem with space
walks is they're strenuous,
473
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:52,592
resulting in increased
oxygen consumption.
474
00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:55,262
Obviously not an optimal
condition at this juncture.
475
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:56,929
The American people
can be assured
476
00:19:56,996 --> 00:19:59,432
we on the ground are doing
everything possible
477
00:19:59,499 --> 00:20:01,268
to assist these astronauts
at this time.
478
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:04,103
PRESIDENT:
How was your trip?
479
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:05,772
You didn't haul
yourself up here
480
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:07,574
in the middle of your
Presidential morning
481
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,443
just to inquire
about my trip...
482
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,612
Oh, my God, I can't
remember where I was.
483
00:20:12,679 --> 00:20:15,282
Folk dancing,
people winning things
484
00:20:15,348 --> 00:20:16,949
and lots of fiddles screeching.
485
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,419
I'm sure the fiddles
were played wonderfully.
486
00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:22,088
Maybe it was me doing
the screeching... inside.
487
00:20:22,154 --> 00:20:25,458
I caught Charlie tiptoeing away
from Zoey's room last night.
488
00:20:25,525 --> 00:20:27,093
Caught?
!
Discovered.
489
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,795
Encount...
No, damn it.
490
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:29,962
I caught him red-handed,
491
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:31,764
skulking away
from my daughter's bedroom.
492
00:20:31,831 --> 00:20:34,166
Oh, I'm sure he
wasn't skulking.
493
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,635
To his credit,
if he'd been sauntering,
494
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:36,969
there might've been a row.
495
00:20:37,036 --> 00:20:38,438
Ooh, I got a big picture
of that.
496
00:20:38,505 --> 00:20:41,341
Are you being blithe about this
just to irritate me?
497
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:43,643
Zoey told me
about the two of them,
498
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:45,945
not that she had to,
because there was
the small matter
499
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:47,847
of the Secret Service.
500
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:50,517
The clandestine is a
non-starter around here.
501
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,352
And why have I been
so ostentatiously kept
502
00:20:52,419 --> 00:20:53,553
out of the loop?
503
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,555
Golly, one wonders.
504
00:20:55,622 --> 00:20:58,791
Is that actual dismay
505
00:20:58,858 --> 00:21:00,927
of the standard
or jupaternal attitude?
506
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:02,729
Does it matter?
507
00:21:02,795 --> 00:21:05,332
Well, I just know how
you abhor the cliche.
508
00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:10,737
( knocking )
509
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:13,973
What's up?
510
00:21:16,876 --> 00:21:19,579
I have an awkward question
to ask.
511
00:21:19,646 --> 00:21:22,014
"Awkward" prying,
"awkward" embarrassing,
512
00:21:22,081 --> 00:21:23,282
"awkward" prurient...
513
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:24,751
About your brother.
514
00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:28,355
Okay.
515
00:21:28,421 --> 00:21:29,889
I'm sorry to ask,
516
00:21:29,956 --> 00:21:32,359
but did David ever
mention anything
517
00:21:32,425 --> 00:21:34,994
about another kind
of space shuttle?
518
00:21:35,061 --> 00:21:37,229
Another kind of space shuttle?
519
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:39,231
A non-civilian shuttle?
520
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:42,068
A military shuttle?
521
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:45,972
Did he ever mention anything
about anything like that?
522
00:21:47,073 --> 00:21:49,909
a felonious breach
Youof national security?mit
523
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:51,544
Hints, intimations.
524
00:21:51,611 --> 00:21:52,679
A brotherly confidence.
525
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,080
Brotherly confidence,
by definition...
526
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:56,048
Showing off, sibling
one-upmanship.
527
00:21:56,115 --> 00:21:57,717
"Look what I know."
528
00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,721
An occasional cryptic hint
529
00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:03,856
when he wanted
to lord it over me.
530
00:22:03,923 --> 00:22:05,525
Like actually being an astronaut
wasn't enough.
531
00:22:05,592 --> 00:22:07,226
Thank you so much.
532
00:22:07,293 --> 00:22:09,228
If he had been up in
that space station,
533
00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:10,997
and we didn't send such
a vehicle up after him...
534
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:14,601
Would he have
been okay about
To send it resacrificing himself
535
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:15,702
for national security?
536
00:22:15,768 --> 00:22:17,370
He would've insisted on it.
537
00:22:19,138 --> 00:22:22,108
But don't ask me
what I would've insisted on.
538
00:22:25,645 --> 00:22:28,080
( door opens )
539
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:30,383
( door closes )
540
00:22:36,389 --> 00:22:38,425
Hey.
Hey.
541
00:22:40,226 --> 00:22:41,728
Post has the VP offer.
542
00:22:41,794 --> 00:22:44,363
You got somebody leaking
in your campaign.
543
00:22:44,431 --> 00:22:45,465
I'd check yours.
544
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:46,566
We run
a pretty tight ship.
545
00:22:46,633 --> 00:22:47,734
Maybe Hoynes'
people got wind.
546
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,968
Puts more pressure
on us.
547
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:50,002
WILL:
Lays us out there
548
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:51,037
if you turn us down.
549
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:52,138
( door shuts )
550
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,941
LEO:
Thanks for
coming in, guys.
551
00:22:55,007 --> 00:22:57,610
in organizing the convention
since we don't have a nominee.
552
00:22:57,677 --> 00:22:59,045
Though, from what
I'm now hearing,
553
00:22:59,111 --> 00:23:00,112
that may change.
554
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:01,481
We hope so.
555
00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:03,550
It's under respectful
consideration.
556
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:06,118
Well, the White House is
officially neutral, of course.
557
00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:08,187
But I don't think
anyone would be opposed
558
00:23:08,254 --> 00:23:09,856
to avoiding a prime-time display
559
00:23:09,922 --> 00:23:12,058
of disharmony
and dysfunction,
which is what
560
00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:13,460
we're here to discuss.
561
00:23:13,526 --> 00:23:14,761
We'll just wait
562
00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:16,963
for the Hoynes representative
to arrive.
563
00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:19,432
I don't know why
he was even invited.
564
00:23:19,499 --> 00:23:21,367
( chuckling ):
He has 956 delegates.
565
00:23:21,434 --> 00:23:22,869
And no chance
for the nomination.
566
00:23:22,935 --> 00:23:24,370
Dylan Clark,
Hoynes for President.
567
00:23:24,437 --> 00:23:26,038
And thank you for that
dispassionate assessment
568
00:23:26,105 --> 00:23:26,873
of our chances.
569
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:29,308
I'm sorry you heard that,
570
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:31,744
With you two maneuvering, it
to preempt the floor vote.
571
00:23:31,811 --> 00:23:33,145
Gentlemen...
572
00:23:33,212 --> 00:23:34,380
You going to accept?
573
00:23:34,447 --> 00:23:36,983
We're mulling.
574
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:39,952
I'm sure your candidate
It'would agree.b.
575
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:41,320
Mine certainly does.
576
00:23:41,387 --> 00:23:43,556
Maybe why he treated it
with such dubious respect.
577
00:23:43,623 --> 00:23:46,258
This is exactly
what we don't want
578
00:23:46,325 --> 00:23:48,528
LEO:
The first order
on primeof business
579
00:23:48,595 --> 00:23:50,763
is to select a
convention chair.
580
00:23:50,830 --> 00:23:53,633
I've drawn up
a list of candidates.
581
00:23:58,004 --> 00:23:59,105
Martindale?
582
00:23:59,171 --> 00:24:00,439
I have no problem with him.
583
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:03,543
He stumped for you
all over Ohio.
584
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,945
JOSH:
"Couple"? If they'd showed up
together any more,aract
585
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:08,114
people would've thought
he and Russell had eloped.
586
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:08,915
I'm dinging Martindale.
587
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:10,116
Frenley's not acceptable.
588
00:24:10,182 --> 00:24:11,350
He's strong, respected.
589
00:24:11,417 --> 00:24:12,519
He's on your VP short list.
590
00:24:13,385 --> 00:24:15,522

592
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:18,457
No to Pereira.

00:24:18,525 --> 00:24:20,560
JOSH:
Why not?
594
00:24:20,627 --> 00:24:22,629
HGod forbid
we show off our diversity.
595
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:24,363
Said the man
with the Latino candidate.
596
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:25,832
JOSH:
I hope
you're not suggesting
597
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:28,234
Latinos can't be trusted
to be fair and unbiased.
598
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,435
The three of you knock it off.
599
00:24:29,502 --> 00:24:31,470
Put lines
600
00:24:31,538 --> 00:24:34,206
through the names you object to,
and let me have them back.
601
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:35,708
I'd like a day to go over this.
602
00:24:35,775 --> 00:24:36,743
No.
603
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,546
( clearing throat )
604
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:57,163
Maybe you guys
would prefer a Republican.
605
00:25:13,312 --> 00:25:16,048
Mmm...
606
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:20,620
I'll look these over later,
see if there's a consensus.
607
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,421
I'd like to discuss
floor positions.
608
00:25:22,488 --> 00:25:23,890
To counteract the perception
609
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:25,825
that Vinick has it wrapped up,
I propose
610
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:28,327
prominent placement of the
California delegation up front.
611
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:30,429
Wouldn't have anything to do
with Santos having won there?
612
00:25:30,496 --> 00:25:33,165
Nice try.
We're not really
613
00:25:33,232 --> 00:25:34,667
suggesting states
your campaigns won.
614
00:25:34,734 --> 00:25:36,936
Battleground states:
Missouri, Wisconsin.
615
00:25:37,003 --> 00:25:39,205
Texas: spirited, boisterous.
616
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:41,173
And loud enough to carry
from way in the back.
617
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,675
Do you have something
against my guy's home state?
618
00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:45,578
The Vice President
carried his home state.
619
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:47,747
We're not putting Colorado
up front.
620
00:25:47,814 --> 00:25:49,048
DYLAN:
A Southern strategy,
621
00:25:49,115 --> 00:25:50,282
I am telling you...
622
00:25:50,349 --> 00:25:52,151
California. Fifth largest
economy in the world.
623
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,654
WILL:
What has that got
to do with anything?
624
00:25:54,721 --> 00:25:55,922
( knocking )
625
00:25:57,156 --> 00:25:59,091
Mr. President,
you wanted to see me?
626
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,328
You were right.
627
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:05,464
Avoiding last night
is really not going to work.
628
00:26:05,531 --> 00:26:07,266
Yes, sir.
629
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:10,336
I don't want to get
all righteously paternal...
630
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,038
Sir, I don't want to sneak
around the White House.
631
00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,373
I'm not trying
to break you two up.
632
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,042
No, sir,about actually
I'm taseeing more of Zoey.
633
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,377
More time with her.
634
00:26:18,444 --> 00:26:19,578
Spent together.
635
00:26:19,646 --> 00:26:21,247
Being together.
636
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:22,381
And such.
637
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:25,618
Charlie...
638
00:26:25,685 --> 00:26:29,822
The President's daughter
can't move in with somebody,
639
00:26:29,889 --> 00:26:33,359
and I assume you understand
that you cannot...
640
00:26:34,293 --> 00:26:36,262
Yes, sir,
that had occurred to me.
641
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:39,098
Then I'm sorry, I'm not
quite sure what you me...
642
00:26:41,367 --> 00:26:44,303
Oh.
643
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:47,473
Are you... talking about...?
644
00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:51,177
Uh... yes, sir.
645
00:26:51,243 --> 00:26:52,779
You want to make an honest woman
out of her?
646
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:53,813
No, Mr. President,
647
00:26:55,181 --> 00:26:58,317
We've been sleeping together
tfor kind of a while.
648
00:26:58,384 --> 00:27:03,055
You might want to consider
quitting while you're ahead.
649
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:05,124
Yes, sir.
650
00:27:11,497 --> 00:27:13,700
Sir...
651
00:27:13,766 --> 00:27:15,401
would I have your blessing?
652
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:16,969
I'm not the member of the family
653
00:27:17,036 --> 00:27:19,105
you should be concerned about
at the moment.
654
00:27:19,171 --> 00:27:20,306
Yes, sir.
655
00:27:20,372 --> 00:27:22,241
Thank you, Mr. President.
656
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:32,151
Josh.
657
00:27:38,324 --> 00:27:40,326
Probably not exactly
what you had in mind in there.
658
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,028
It's exactly what
we're worried about.
659
00:27:42,094 --> 00:27:43,329
People are
always complaining
660
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:45,664
about how canned
these conventions have become.
661
00:27:45,732 --> 00:27:46,966
Not the people
trying to use them
662
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:48,634
to put a clear,
cohesive message
663
00:27:48,701 --> 00:27:51,170
in front of the
American electorate.
664
00:27:51,237 --> 00:27:52,872
LEO:
Good TV.It'll be entertaining.
665
00:27:52,939 --> 00:27:54,841
Professional wrestling
is entertaining.
666
00:27:54,907 --> 00:27:56,442
But when
they click off the set,
667
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:57,710

runs out and votes
668
00:27:57,777 --> 00:27:59,378
for the loudmouth

669
00:27:59,445 --> 00:28:02,849
Outside of Minnesota.
670
00:28:02,915 --> 00:28:04,951
You need to take
the VP deal.
671
00:28:06,052 --> 00:28:07,519
Uh, we're considering it.
672
00:28:07,586 --> 00:28:08,554
Not consider it.
673
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:09,889
Take it.
674
00:28:09,956 --> 00:28:12,959
The party, the President
needs you to accept.
675
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:14,060
Yeah.
676
00:28:14,126 --> 00:28:15,895
Santos will be incurring
the gratitude
677
00:28:17,163 --> 00:28:19,431
People who can be very helpful
to his future plans.ple...
678
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:20,767
That future could be now.
679
00:28:20,833 --> 00:28:21,968
A three-term
congressman
680
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:23,836
going up against Arnie Vinick?
681
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:25,838
Be careful what you wish for.
682
00:28:25,905 --> 00:28:27,106
I don't know
683
00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:28,875
that Russell
has a better shot.
684
00:28:30,176 --> 00:28:32,912
But Russell goes down,
you want people in the party,r.
685
00:28:32,979 --> 00:28:34,814
key people--
organizers, fund-raisers--
686
00:28:34,881 --> 00:28:36,849
thinking it was partly
Matt Santos's fault?
687
00:28:36,916 --> 00:28:39,585
Long memories, Josh.
688
00:28:39,651 --> 00:28:40,987
Big win for your guy.
689
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:43,790
Four years from now,
he can run the table.
690
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:45,691
You'll be doing him a favor.
691
00:28:45,758 --> 00:28:47,794
PRESIDENT BARTLET:
The space walk?
692
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,095
KATE:
Unsuccessful.
693
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:51,430
How much oxygen
it cost them?
694
00:28:51,497 --> 00:28:54,033
Could've been worse.
KATE:
"Worse" being a relative term
695
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,768
when it comes
to slow suffocation.
696
00:28:55,835 --> 00:28:57,303
We have a decision to make.
697
00:28:57,369 --> 00:29:00,807
The security concerns
outweigh the consequences.
698
00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:03,242
C.J.:
It's presumably
been launched before
699
00:29:03,309 --> 00:29:05,077
I realize this
is a high-profile situation.
700
00:29:05,144 --> 00:29:07,079
It would disclose the asset.
Possibly, but
701
00:29:07,146 --> 00:29:08,447
measured against
our responsibility
702
00:29:08,514 --> 00:29:09,548
toward three lives...
703
00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:10,850
Two. Only two are Americans.
704
00:29:10,917 --> 00:29:12,985
C.J.:
Meaning what?
705
00:29:14,153 --> 00:29:16,122
TheTwo Americans are more
dexpendable than three?
706
00:29:16,188 --> 00:29:18,090
The cosmonaut
would see the asset.
707
00:29:18,157 --> 00:29:20,059
Ride in it.
708
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:21,961
Take piEven without the
for acamera in his shoe,
709
00:29:22,995 --> 00:29:24,630
It'd be the greatest
intelligence coupy.
710
00:29:24,696 --> 00:29:26,866
of the new century.
711
00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:29,001
But wouldn't we essentially
be revealing a piece of hardware
712
00:29:30,169 --> 00:29:33,072
HUTCHINSON:
Maybe we should invite
the Chinesesumes we have anyway?
713
00:29:33,139 --> 00:29:34,606
and the Russians over
for a formal tour.
714
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:38,978
can visit each other's
nuclear weapons facilities.
715
00:29:39,045 --> 00:29:41,013
C.J.:
I can't help note
the absence of anyone
716
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,815
from NASA
to make the case for a rescue.
717
00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:45,484
I don't need anyone to make it.
718
00:29:45,551 --> 00:29:46,986
I need more time.
719
00:29:47,053 --> 00:29:49,321
C.J.:
Thank you,
Mr. President.
720
00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:53,159
SANTOS:
I appreciate
that, Senator.
721
00:29:53,225 --> 00:29:55,862
I'm giving it
every consideration.
722
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:59,198
Thank you for the call.
723
00:29:59,265 --> 00:30:01,533
Another voice for party unity.
724
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,103
Yeah, the White House
just leaned on me pretty good.
725
00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:05,905
Same extortionate undertone?
726
00:30:05,972 --> 00:30:07,639
I heard something else
on the way over.
727
00:30:07,706 --> 00:30:09,775
Source I have in Philadelphia.
728
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:12,044
Russell's been talking to Baker.
729
00:30:12,111 --> 00:30:14,046
As backup, we turn him down.
730
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:15,915
Thinks it flips Pennsylvania.
731
00:30:15,982 --> 00:30:17,683
It does flip Pennsylvania.
732
00:30:17,749 --> 00:30:22,121
178 votes swing from us
to Russell on the second ballot.
733
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,023
If the Hoynes delegates
break anywhere near even
734
00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:25,324
once they're released...
735
00:30:25,391 --> 00:30:27,459
It's game over.
736
00:30:27,526 --> 00:30:30,930
Smart. Smart.
737
00:30:30,997 --> 00:30:33,265
How come we're not that smart?
738
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:36,235
You have to go sit
down with Russell.
739
00:30:36,302 --> 00:30:38,270
And when you're in there,
740
00:30:38,337 --> 00:30:41,373
you look for a way
to tell him yes.
741
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:55,087
( inhales )
742
00:30:55,154 --> 00:30:57,957
( exhales )
743
00:31:04,897 --> 00:31:06,933
( sighs )
744
00:31:13,906 --> 00:31:15,274
You okay?
745
00:31:15,341 --> 00:31:17,276
Yeah.
746
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:20,079
Yeah. Just...
747
00:31:23,249 --> 00:31:25,517
You know.
748
00:31:25,584 --> 00:31:26,818
Night yips?
749
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:28,620
Little bit.
750
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:31,290
Because you've made a decision,
or because you can't?
751
00:31:31,357 --> 00:31:33,425
Both.
752
00:31:33,492 --> 00:31:35,527
Neither.
753
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,999
( sighs )
754
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:42,901
I bet Arnie Vinick is sleeping
like a rock.
755
00:31:44,603 --> 00:31:45,837
I don't know.
He's old.
756
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:46,872
( laughs )
757
00:31:46,939 --> 00:31:48,240
What?
758
00:31:48,307 --> 00:31:50,242
Old people don't
sleep so good.
759
00:31:50,309 --> 00:31:53,079
Old people who
have their party's
760
00:31:53,145 --> 00:31:56,515
Presidential nomination
wrapped up and...
761
00:31:56,582 --> 00:31:59,151
have a mortal lock on
California in the general--
762
00:31:59,218 --> 00:32:01,954
they sleep like the dead.
763
00:32:02,021 --> 00:32:04,356
The prospect of sleeping
like the dead is part
764
00:32:04,423 --> 00:32:07,493
of what keeps old people up
nights.
765
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:13,899
You ever stop to think
766
00:32:13,966 --> 00:32:17,303
that maybe Arnie Vinick's up
right now worried about you?
767
00:32:17,369 --> 00:32:18,670
Hmm?
768
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:20,239
I can guarantee
that's not happening.
769
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:21,473
Oh.
770
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:22,674
Smart guy.
771
00:32:22,741 --> 00:32:24,776
Young guy.
772
00:32:24,843 --> 00:32:26,178
Good-lookin', too.
773
00:32:26,245 --> 00:32:28,414
Yeah.
774
00:32:29,648 --> 00:32:31,383
( sighs )
775
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,585
Let's see about helping this
776
00:32:33,652 --> 00:32:37,256
troubled office-seeker
get himself some sleep.
777
00:32:52,038 --> 00:32:53,205
Morning.
778
00:32:53,272 --> 00:32:54,740
What do you do
when he's just wrong?
779
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,975
You remind yourself that
he was the one got elected.
780
00:32:57,043 --> 00:32:59,345
We could rescue
these astronauts.
781
00:32:59,411 --> 00:33:02,048
He's got 295 million Americans
to think about,
782
00:33:02,114 --> 00:33:03,582
not just these three.
783
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:05,751
Only two are Americans.
784
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:08,187
if they offed the third,
he'd be all for sending it.
785
00:33:08,254 --> 00:33:09,621
Wouldn't that be
a lovely affirmation
786
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:12,024
of international cooperation
in space?
787
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:13,692
building space bombers
We don'of their own., Chi
788
00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:15,127
Oh, they're gonna build them
789
00:33:16,495 --> 00:33:18,864
anyway if they assume
we've got one.
But if they know we've got one,
they have to build it.Yeah.
790
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,332
This is Alice in Wonderland.
791
00:33:20,399 --> 00:33:23,102
Yeah. Some days it is.
792
00:33:29,441 --> 00:33:32,844
Quick, hide
the Ouija board.
793
00:33:32,911 --> 00:33:35,281
Josh still has usn
reading chicken entrails.
794
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:36,882
I'll tell the Vice President
you're here.
795
00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:39,017
We're very excited you've come.
796
00:33:39,085 --> 00:33:40,619
Excited to be here.
797
00:33:40,686 --> 00:33:42,554
It's exciting.
798
00:33:47,826 --> 00:33:49,561
Congressman, welcome.
799
00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:51,430
Good of you to see me,
Mr. Vice President.
800
00:33:51,497 --> 00:33:52,498
Shall we?
801
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:56,602
Remember, three feet
on the floor at all times.
802
00:33:58,604 --> 00:34:00,038
( Josh laughs )
803
00:34:03,109 --> 00:34:04,210
Have a seat.
804
00:34:04,276 --> 00:34:06,078
SANTOS:
Thank you.
805
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:10,048
Don't.
806
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,019
Congratulations
on a well-fought campaign.
807
00:34:14,086 --> 00:34:15,221
You, too.
808
00:34:15,287 --> 00:34:17,223
And, hopefully,
809
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:20,092
we're about
to put that all behind us.
810
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,361
That's what we're
here to discuss.
811
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:27,299
Arnie Vinick is going
to be a tough customer.
812
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:31,203
We need to marshal
all our strength.
813
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:32,704
And I can't think
of a better way
814
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:34,906
than by having both our names
on the ticket.
815
00:34:34,973 --> 00:34:37,109
It's a good point.
816
00:34:37,976 --> 00:34:39,845
So, you want to flip a coin?
817
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,315
( laughs )
818
00:34:43,382 --> 00:34:44,850
That's a good one.
819
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:47,253
Um, in all seriousness,
let me...
820
00:34:47,319 --> 00:34:49,555
let me describe the relationship
that I envision.
821
00:34:51,223 --> 00:34:53,125
A substantive role in policy,
822
00:34:53,192 --> 00:34:54,126
strategic planning.
823
00:34:54,193 --> 00:34:55,561
A voice.
824
00:34:57,028 --> 00:35:00,399
More of a partnership, frankly,
than I've had with Jed Bartlet.
825
00:35:00,466 --> 00:35:03,402
I'm flattered.
You should be.
826
00:35:03,469 --> 00:35:06,037
it's not the relationship
I'd envision with a lesser man.
827
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:07,939
You're capable and bright.
828
00:35:08,006 --> 00:35:09,575
Very kind.
I'm sure
829
00:35:09,641 --> 00:35:11,377
there's things
that I could learn from you.
830
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:14,546
Well, uh... uh, I don't...
831
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:17,349
Just as there are undoubtedly
things you could learn from me.
832
00:35:27,726 --> 00:35:28,994
Thank you all.
833
00:35:29,060 --> 00:35:30,562
Josh.
834
00:35:36,302 --> 00:35:38,637
( door closing )
835
00:35:49,047 --> 00:35:50,849
( Santos sighs )
836
00:35:53,619 --> 00:35:54,853
Mad at me?
837
00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:58,790
No.
838
00:36:00,091 --> 00:36:01,893
Oddly.
839
00:36:04,129 --> 00:36:06,365
Disappointed?
840
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:10,469
Proud. I think.
841
00:36:14,406 --> 00:36:16,775
You've got a tough conversation
ahead.
842
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:18,644
Not so tough.
843
00:36:19,878 --> 00:36:21,012
( elevator bell dings )
844
00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:22,481
Yeah, I do.
845
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,589
MAN ( on T.V. ):
Ladies and gentlemen,
846
00:36:30,656 --> 00:36:33,892
please welcome
the next President
847
00:36:33,959 --> 00:36:36,462
of the United States,
Arnold Vinick.
848
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,896
MAN:
Yeah.
849
00:36:37,963 --> 00:36:41,267
( cheering and applause )
850
00:36:42,901 --> 00:36:45,237
( cheering and applause
continue )
851
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,277
VINICK:
Thank you.
852
00:36:51,343 --> 00:36:53,479
Thank you.
853
00:36:53,545 --> 00:36:55,814
We're gonna run out
of prime time.
854
00:36:55,881 --> 00:36:57,849
( laughing )
855
00:36:57,916 --> 00:37:01,620
It is with great humility
that I accept your nomination
856
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:03,955
for President
of the United States.
857
00:37:04,022 --> 00:37:07,326
( cheering and applause )
858
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,864
Before I share with you
my vision for America,
859
00:37:12,931 --> 00:37:15,401
I want to say a few words
about the man
860
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:17,369
who I hope is my predecessor,
861
00:37:17,436 --> 00:37:19,905
President Josiah Bartlet.
862
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:23,709
( booing and cheering )
863
00:37:23,775 --> 00:37:27,279
He has graced
and honored his office,
864
00:37:27,346 --> 00:37:29,448
the highest in the land.
865
00:37:29,515 --> 00:37:31,450
The most powerful in the world,
866
00:37:31,517 --> 00:37:33,852
some would say, myself included.
867
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:38,223
He has served this country
steadfastly and laudably.
868
00:37:38,290 --> 00:37:40,225
And I say this
despite our political
869
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:42,227
and-and philosophical
differences.
870
00:37:42,294 --> 00:37:43,729
For in the end,
871
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:46,798
a Presidency is more
than a simple catalogue
872
00:37:46,865 --> 00:37:48,634
of policies pursued,
873
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:52,203
crises weathered,
battles lost or won.
874
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:54,205
It's a stewardship.
875
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:55,974
A sacred trust.
876
00:37:56,041 --> 00:38:00,479
A commitment to sacrifice
every fiber of your being,
877
00:38:00,546 --> 00:38:03,649
every thought,
every moment, every...
878
00:38:03,715 --> 00:38:07,319
every... everything
in service to your nation.
879
00:38:08,754 --> 00:38:11,923
President Bartlet
has done this well
880
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:14,926
and ably.
881
00:38:14,993 --> 00:38:19,164
And he deserves nothing less
than our humble appreciation
882
00:38:19,230 --> 00:38:21,900
and heartfelt gratitude.
883
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:23,335
( applause )
884
00:38:23,402 --> 00:38:24,670
Nice what he said about you.
885
00:38:24,736 --> 00:38:25,571
Yeah...
886
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:28,139
This is the basis on which
887
00:38:28,206 --> 00:38:32,644
I make my appeal
The bastard. He just picked up
five million Democratic votes.
888
00:38:32,711 --> 00:38:35,914
My commitment to strive
.to be worthy of the example
889
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:38,817
of the great men
who have gone before.
890
00:38:38,884 --> 00:38:41,787
Presidents walk
in giant footsteps.
891
00:38:41,853 --> 00:38:45,791
They have magnificent legacies
to uphold.
892
00:38:45,857 --> 00:38:48,660
I stand here on this day
and put my name forth
893
00:38:48,727 --> 00:38:51,863
as one who aspires
to their example,
894
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:55,701
who will daily make
that sacrifice,
895
00:38:55,767 --> 00:38:59,871
who will honor
not just the office,
896
00:38:59,938 --> 00:39:02,073
but the people
that office serves.
897
00:39:02,140 --> 00:39:06,378
Their President of these
United States of America.
898
00:39:06,445 --> 00:39:08,880
( cheering and applause )
899
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:10,949
( whistling, cheering
and applause continue )
900
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,656
Arnold Vinick just
positioned himself
901
00:39:17,723 --> 00:39:19,458
as Jed Bartlet's
natural successor.
902
00:39:19,525 --> 00:39:21,827
How'd he do that?
903
00:39:21,893 --> 00:39:24,830
Without one mention,
without so much as an allusion
904
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:28,033
to either one, he managed
to dismiss Russell and Santos
905
00:39:28,099 --> 00:39:30,536
as puny, dwarf-like children
906
00:39:30,602 --> 00:39:32,704
trying to get a seat
at the grownups' table.
907
00:39:32,771 --> 00:39:35,507
( phone ringing )
908
00:39:36,408 --> 00:39:37,576
Yeah.
909
00:39:37,643 --> 00:39:39,911
I'll send him right down.
910
00:39:39,978 --> 00:39:41,980
Josh is here to see you.
911
00:39:44,783 --> 00:39:47,986
We start working
to beat this guy right now.
912
00:39:56,928 --> 00:39:58,029
Hey.
913
00:39:59,064 --> 00:40:01,066
Hey.
914
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:03,435
What, uh...?
915
00:40:03,502 --> 00:40:05,604
Talk to Leo.
916
00:40:08,173 --> 00:40:10,609
Okay.
917
00:40:13,612 --> 00:40:14,880
Could've used
you out there.
918
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:20,652
Did okay without me.
919
00:40:22,153 --> 00:40:24,823
It's not the same.
920
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:27,659
Good luck.
921
00:40:28,460 --> 00:40:30,729
Thanks.
922
00:40:37,569 --> 00:40:38,904
Listen to Vinick?
923
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,506
No.
924
00:40:40,572 --> 00:40:42,908
You're better off.
925
00:40:50,348 --> 00:40:53,084
Santos turned
Russell down.
926
00:40:56,354 --> 00:40:58,724
Okay.
927
00:40:58,790 --> 00:40:59,958
Okay?
928
00:41:00,025 --> 00:41:02,894
Okay, so now you get him
to un-turn it down.
929
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:04,262
Doesn't work like that.
930
00:41:04,329 --> 00:41:05,864
Now it does.
931
00:41:06,932 --> 00:41:08,834
I told him to find a way
to say yes.
932
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,869
You find it for him.
933
00:41:10,936 --> 00:41:12,671
You're not hearing me.
934
00:41:12,738 --> 00:41:14,072
You're not hearing me.
935
00:41:14,139 --> 00:41:16,708
Matthew Santos has had
a terrific ride.
936
00:41:16,775 --> 00:41:18,577
Improbable, impressive.
937
00:41:18,644 --> 00:41:20,879
And over.
938
00:41:20,946 --> 00:41:22,614
This is the return to reality.
939
00:41:22,681 --> 00:41:23,915
He's Russell's Vice President.
940
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:25,116
It's not gonna happen.
941
00:41:25,183 --> 00:41:26,117
You are going to do this
942
00:41:26,184 --> 00:41:29,020
for us.
943
00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:31,623
For the President,
for your party.
944
00:41:31,690 --> 00:41:33,692
I'm not
'cause I don't agree with it.
945
00:41:33,759 --> 00:41:36,061
I told him
to say yes.
946
00:41:36,127 --> 00:41:38,597
I was wrong.
947
00:41:38,664 --> 00:41:40,632
He's twice the man Russell is
on his best day.
948
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,537
And Russell doesn't have
that many best days.
949
00:41:52,377 --> 00:41:54,512
I'll go tell the President.
950
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,561
Toby.
951
00:42:09,628 --> 00:42:11,129
Okay. Yeah. Okay.
952
00:42:11,196 --> 00:42:12,898
You have to quit and
then get rehired.
953
00:42:12,964 --> 00:42:14,566
Leo wants you
in California...
954
00:42:14,633 --> 00:42:16,201
Greg Brock just released a story
955
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:18,269
about a classified
military space shuttle
956
00:42:18,336 --> 00:42:20,338
that could be
but hasn't yet been sent up
957
00:42:20,405 --> 00:42:23,008
to rescue those astronauts.
958
00:42:23,074 --> 00:42:25,777
It'll be on the front page
of tomorrow's New York Times.
959
00:42:25,844 --> 00:42:27,012
To do this,
Brock would have had
960
00:42:27,078 --> 00:42:29,114
to assure them
that he had it cold,
961
00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:32,651
which means whoever leaked it--
it's somebody big.
