1
00:00:03,904 --> 00:00:05,306
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:05,373 --> 00:00:06,774
It's my anniversary.
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,841
And of what?
4
00:00:07,908 --> 00:00:09,310
The anniversary of my divorce.
5
00:00:09,377 --> 00:00:10,111
I didn't know
you'd been married.
6
00:00:10,178 --> 00:00:11,545
A couple times.
7
00:00:11,612 --> 00:00:13,747
Leo's gone. Josh has
one foot out the door.
8
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:15,949
It's you and I. We're going
to have to run this thing.
9
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:18,786
We're not getting a dime's worth
of coverage of politics and eggs
10
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,121
of our get tough
on Pakistan...
11
00:00:20,188 --> 00:00:21,055
Press loves an underdog.
12
00:00:21,122 --> 00:00:22,690
It's sketch comedy.
13
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:23,991
It's fun. It's feisty.
14
00:00:24,058 --> 00:00:24,992
It'll get us
on the news.
15
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:25,993
It's cheap.
16
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:27,295
You can't skip out
17
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:29,263
with the President
lying flat on his back.
18
00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:30,498
Seven years,
you're gonna leave us
19
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:32,400
with a Candygram
and a get-well card?
20
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:34,668
Someone's got to think
about the ninth year.
21
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:45,413
( people chatting )
22
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,559
( whispers to himself )
23
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:01,229
MAN:
What can I get you?
24
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:03,364
WOMAN:
Uh, glass of red,
whatever's open.
25
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:15,409
( liquid pouring )
26
00:01:15,476 --> 00:01:16,444
Thanks.
27
00:01:21,048 --> 00:01:22,250
We have to stop
meeting like this.
28
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:23,717
People will talk.
29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,889
I'd offer to make
an honest woman of you,
30
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,491
but you'd tire of me,
31
00:01:30,558 --> 00:01:34,428
and then I'd be left
with nothing but my knitting.
32
00:01:34,495 --> 00:01:35,996
You knit?
33
00:01:36,063 --> 00:01:38,666
I don't.
34
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:40,768
So I'd be left
with nothing at all.
35
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:42,770
( chuckles )
36
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:46,574
What happened to your face?
37
00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:53,414
SANTOS:
* Alison
38
00:01:53,481 --> 00:01:54,815
NED:
Boston Globe.
39
00:01:54,882 --> 00:01:58,286
* I know this world
is killing you. *
40
00:01:58,352 --> 00:02:01,855
Fourth paragraph.
41
00:02:01,922 --> 00:02:03,391
Oh, sorry,
third paragraph.
42
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:06,527
"Congressman Matthew Santos
emerged from the pack
43
00:02:06,594 --> 00:02:10,298
"with a healthy 19% of the
New Hampshire primary votes.
44
00:02:10,364 --> 00:02:13,301
"Even more impressive than his
unexpected vault
45
00:02:13,367 --> 00:02:15,869
"into third place,
was his considered candor
46
00:02:15,936 --> 00:02:18,806
that he brought to the stage
in last week's debate."
47
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,941
The Post called it
"shrewd certitude."
48
00:02:21,008 --> 00:02:22,343
They love you.
49
00:02:22,410 --> 00:02:23,811
Today.
Ignore him.
50
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:25,679
Josh, we got 11 major newspapers
here tooting our horn.
51
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,147
You gotta open your arms,
feel the love.
52
00:02:27,215 --> 00:02:29,183
I feel it, sir,
I feel very warm.
53
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,985
He's pissed 'cause Dave
Pemberton at Slate
wrote about Rafferty.
54
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:33,387
As did Chris Latham.
55
00:02:33,454 --> 00:02:35,088
Latham and Pemberton
are opinion-makers.
56
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,924
Alison Wexler at Newsweek,
she's an opinion-maker.
57
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,327
She's pretty enthusiastic about
the Santos for President idea.
58
00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:40,728
She's good, but she's...
59
00:02:40,794 --> 00:02:42,230
* Alison...
60
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:44,365
Latham and Pemberton both wrote
about Senator Rafferty's speech.
61
00:02:44,432 --> 00:02:45,933
They write about it now.
62
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:49,002
Everyone who can spell is
writing about it next week.
63
00:02:49,069 --> 00:02:50,938
Rafferty got into the race
five minutes ago.
64
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:52,606
* Alison...
65
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:55,443
New Hampshire was a coup for us,
you're the Cinderella story.
66
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:57,144
Everybody should be writing
about you.
67
00:02:57,211 --> 00:02:58,846
* My aim is true...
68
00:02:58,912 --> 00:03:01,549
There's only room for one
scrappy insurgent. We're it.
69
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:03,484
* My aim is true...
70
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:04,618
You're not gonna kiss me,
are you?
71
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:05,986
NED:
See you at
the airport.
72
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:08,088
Ronna, find me a copy of
the damn Rafferty speech.
73
00:03:08,155 --> 00:03:10,391
* My aim is true.
74
00:04:03,811 --> 00:04:06,179
Hey, there. I didn't know
you were back today.
75
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:06,980
Yeah, I'm back.
76
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:08,349
How are you doing?
77
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:09,683
Did Brower send us something
on Head Start?
78
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:10,718
Uh, no.
79
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:12,320
I mean Doug Wallace.
Not Brower.
80
00:04:12,386 --> 00:04:13,354
I spoke to him about it.
81
00:04:13,421 --> 00:04:14,455
You want me to call somebody?
82
00:04:14,522 --> 00:04:16,657
Huh?
Uh, no. I'll do it.
83
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:20,794
You know, I'm joining you today
in the Oval.
84
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:27,401
C.J.:
Margaret, I need a copy of
the Western Water Program.
85
00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:30,404
And I had a blue binder
marked "EPA."
86
00:04:30,471 --> 00:04:31,505
Whoo!
Oh, God.
87
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:34,007
Oh, God.
Oh...
88
00:04:36,477 --> 00:04:37,911
How about this one?
89
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:39,613
Penne with red sauce.
90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,081
This?
91
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:42,483
Vodka with cranberry.
92
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:44,318
You're supposed to tell me
when you're out
93
00:04:44,385 --> 00:04:45,719
so I can go
to the dry cleaners.
94
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:47,988
You're my assistant,
not my wife.
95
00:04:48,055 --> 00:04:50,824
It'll be much less noticeable
when it's dry.
96
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:51,859
( blows )
97
00:04:51,925 --> 00:04:53,461
Hug the binder.
98
00:04:55,463 --> 00:04:56,864
Interior's released the draft
99
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:58,566
of the Western Water Program
with your revisions.
100
00:04:58,632 --> 00:04:59,633
We're going wide early.
101
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:00,734
Hopefully we get
an alliance
102
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,670
behind it
before it hits Congress.
103
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:03,871
They up the numbers at all?
104
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:05,373
40 million's the
best we can do.
105
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:06,707
I may need a hand on this.
106
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:09,009
If anybody
has any comments on
107
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:10,744
the Energy Trust Fund
summary, today's the day.
108
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,413
TOBY:
I thought it already
went to the floor.
109
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,214
Almost.
Josh was handling it.
110
00:05:14,281 --> 00:05:16,216
We lost some momentum
when he stepped out.
111
00:05:16,283 --> 00:05:17,718
Chronic problem, that.
112
00:05:17,785 --> 00:05:20,688
Did Josh drop it or did
he give it to somebody or...?
113
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:23,891
Oh! God.
114
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:24,558
Hmm?
115
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:25,593
Nothing. Hi... Hi.
116
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,094
Is this a good time?
117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,464
Yes. Annabeth's here to discuss
the DNC Gala tonight.
118
00:05:30,531 --> 00:05:32,199
And we're delighted to have you.
Thank you.
119
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:35,002
Every Democratic contender
will be in town for this event--
120
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:36,303
including all their staffers.
121
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:37,771
They're all gonna want
a piece of you.
122
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:40,574
So if I see one coming I,
what, duck under a table?
123
00:05:40,641 --> 00:05:42,976
Over the top,
but we're in the right area.
124
00:05:43,043 --> 00:05:44,812
I'm not avoiding my former
Deputy Chief of Staff.
125
00:05:44,878 --> 00:05:46,714
He's going to ask you for a
favor, you're going to say no
126
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:48,048
and then you're going
to feel bad.
127
00:05:48,115 --> 00:05:50,083
No favor, just small talk.
128
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:52,285
Could you give
me that, C.J.?
129
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:53,854
Every sitting president
goes through this.
130
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:55,589
It's a time-honored annoyance,
sir.
131
00:05:55,656 --> 00:05:58,091
Let's just navigate through it
as gracefully as possible.
132
00:05:58,158 --> 00:05:59,393
Thank you all.
133
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:00,428
Toby?
134
00:06:00,494 --> 00:06:01,662
Yes, sir.
135
00:06:01,729 --> 00:06:05,165
I believe this is yours.
136
00:06:05,232 --> 00:06:07,234
PRESIDENT:
You doing okay?
137
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,536
Yes, sir, thank you.
138
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:11,472
My sister-in-law
was very moved by the letter.
139
00:06:11,539 --> 00:06:13,474
She wanted me to tell you
how much she appreciated it.
140
00:06:13,541 --> 00:06:14,775
You should take as
much time as you need.
141
00:06:14,842 --> 00:06:17,978
I prefer to be back at work.
Thank you, sir.
142
00:06:18,045 --> 00:06:21,048
You're not gonna
tell me what happened?
143
00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:22,850
I cut myself shaving.
144
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:24,585
Hmm. With a machete?
145
00:06:24,652 --> 00:06:28,456
Very few people guess that,
but it is, in fact, the case.
146
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,028
You should get
a Band-Aid...
147
00:06:35,095 --> 00:06:36,163
some ointment.
148
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:37,998
I'll look into that.
149
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,037
Never call a woman and say "we
have to talk." It's not nice.
150
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:45,172
Duly noted.
151
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,575
You don't smoke, do you?
152
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:50,578
Me? No. The occasional cigar.
Not cigarettes.
153
00:06:50,644 --> 00:06:53,747
Yeah. Me neither.
154
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:57,818
You sell cigarettes here?
155
00:06:57,885 --> 00:06:59,520
This lack of Josh
is becoming a problem.
156
00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:01,154
You thinking about
a replacement?
157
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:03,023
I've been working under the
assumption we'd get him back.
158
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:04,925
Never thought Santos was going
to hang on this long.
159
00:07:04,992 --> 00:07:08,061
19% percent in New Hampshire;
maybe he's a contender?
160
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:09,162
The Water Program.
Yes.
161
00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:10,798
We're trying to sort
out a three-way war
162
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,566
between cities,
farmers, and environmentalists
163
00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:13,801
all trying to get their hands on
164
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:15,569
every last drop
of the Colorado River.
165
00:07:15,636 --> 00:07:17,304
LEO:
There's less to go around
than everybody thought.
166
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:19,206
I've got lobbyists from each
of the three groups
167
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:20,574
coming in today.
What time?
168
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:22,442
10:00's the first--
Urban Development Lobby.
169
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:24,277
Who's their guy?
Cliff Calley.
170
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,113
No wonder you want
flank support.
171
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,882
Annabeth, try not to
worry too much about
the DNC thing tonight.
172
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,250
Russell's going to win
the nomination.
173
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:32,052
The President's going
to endorse him.
174
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:33,987
A photo at the gala's not
going to tip the balance.
175
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:36,123
The President's not quietly
plugging for someone else?
176
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:36,990
He really isn't.
177
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:37,791
Greg Brock thinks he is.
178
00:07:37,858 --> 00:07:39,126
He came in this morning
179
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,061
and he didn't sound like
a man with a hunch.
180
00:07:41,128 --> 00:07:43,631
Give him a call, tell him
the Principal wants to see him.
181
00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:45,633
Uh, Diplomatic mission to Mali.
182
00:07:45,699 --> 00:07:47,167
Bali?
Mali, with an M.
183
00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:48,401
Not Bali with a high?
No.
184
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:49,737
I thought
maybe you had a cold.
185
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,204
Margaret, cancel my lunch.
186
00:07:51,271 --> 00:07:52,005
What happened to your boob?
187
00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:53,406
Really?
188
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,008
Chairman of Foreign Ops is
holding a planning session
189
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:56,944
for the diplomatic
mission to Mali.
190
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,879
I'll be there, but it'd be great
to have somebody from your end.
191
00:07:58,946 --> 00:07:59,913
Oh, sorry.
192
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:01,414
No, come in.
Help her organize Mali.
193
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,983
Up on the Hill
this afternoon.
194
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:04,618
Did Toby give you his changes on
the remarks to the F.O.P.?
195
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,219
No, he didn't.
196
00:08:06,286 --> 00:08:06,987
You don't have them yet?
No.
197
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:07,955
Ask him again.
198
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:10,090
Make sure he knows
it's this week.
199
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,526
State and Foreign Ops
has been working with USAID
200
00:08:12,593 --> 00:08:15,028
on what they're calling
"high impact health services"
for Mali.
201
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:16,564
This trip's a sort of
a kick-off.
202
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:17,831
They're focusing on HIV?
203
00:08:17,898 --> 00:08:19,567
That and child immunization.
204
00:08:19,633 --> 00:08:20,734
Look through that stuff,
205
00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:22,536
let me know
if you have any questions.
206
00:08:22,603 --> 00:08:24,605
You have any interest
in being fixed up?
207
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,106
Not the kind of question
I was referring to.
208
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:27,808
There's a guy at
the gym, he asked me
209
00:08:27,875 --> 00:08:29,309
if you were seeing anyone.
Guess you're famous.
210
00:08:29,376 --> 00:08:32,680
( phone ringing )
211
00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:36,283
What guy?
212
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:37,417
I don't know his name.
213
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:38,485
Seriously?
214
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:40,220
We have mutual friends.
215
00:08:40,287 --> 00:08:42,623
I played a pick-up game with
him about two years ago,
216
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:43,991
we were introduced at the time,
217
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,659
but now I see him around
the machines at the gym
218
00:08:45,726 --> 00:08:48,095
and it's all "Hey, man,
how you doing?"
219
00:08:48,161 --> 00:08:50,598
And it's two years
later, I can't ask
him his name, it's rude.
220
00:08:50,664 --> 00:08:51,865
And he asked you
to fix me up with him?
221
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,233
Asked if you were seeing anyone.
222
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,168
We were a couple guys
talking at the gym.
223
00:08:55,235 --> 00:08:56,336
We keep the sentences short.
224
00:08:56,403 --> 00:08:58,405
This is... No. You should talk
225
00:08:58,471 --> 00:09:00,741
about something else at the gym.
226
00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:06,546
I got most of it...
club soda and salt.
227
00:09:06,614 --> 00:09:08,315
That's great.
228
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,482
It's wet though.
Yes.
229
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:11,151
You want to go
with the binder again.
230
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:12,886
It didn't work so
well the first time.
231
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:20,327
Here.
232
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:22,562
Are you sure?
233
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:24,464
Of course.
234
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:26,734
Can I lose the pin?
235
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,736
It was my aunt's,
she's no longer with us.
236
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:30,303
Well, you should wear it.
237
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:31,471
It's covering a hole.
238
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:32,973
You ready?
239
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,242
Are you sure we shouldn't have
pulled Toby in for this?
240
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:36,910
For Noah Buckley you
want a whole phalanx?
241
00:09:36,977 --> 00:09:39,146
He de-pantsed us on the Clean
Air Bill single-handedly.
242
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:40,513
He's a lobbyist now;
he's out to build bridges.
243
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,349
He's slippery.
244
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:43,884
MARGARET:
Greg Brock's here.
I'll meet you in the Mural.
245
00:09:43,951 --> 00:09:45,252
She send you to her tailor?
246
00:09:47,187 --> 00:09:48,155
BROCK:
Morning.
247
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:49,322
Hi, pookie.
248
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:50,891
I hear you think the President
picked a horse.
249
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:52,660
I think he's done
more than that.
250
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:54,394
I think he's
channeling support.
But what do I know?
251
00:09:54,461 --> 00:09:56,229
Well, I know a tremendous amount
for a woman of my years
252
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:57,564
and I can tell you
253
00:09:57,631 --> 00:09:59,967
the President supports
all the Democratic candidates
254
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:01,869
and plans to remain neutral
until after the primary process.
255
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,304
What if he did--
hypothetically?
256
00:10:04,371 --> 00:10:05,338
Back a candidate now?
257
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:06,606
Hypothetically.
258
00:10:06,674 --> 00:10:08,108
Congress would go through
the roof.
259
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:09,810
Anything the President tried
to do in the next five months,
260
00:10:09,877 --> 00:10:11,044
they'd decimate
because support of it
261
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:12,512
would appear to be support
of a candidate
262
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:15,048
that half the Democrats
and all the Republicans despise.
263
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,516
And it would bring his entire
agenda for the last year
264
00:10:16,583 --> 00:10:18,051
to a screeching halt.
265
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,788
So if that, hypothetically,
was what was happening,
266
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:22,690
he probably wouldn't
tell anybody.
267
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:24,725
He probably wouldn't
even tell you.
268
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:28,896
Wish I'd have been there.
269
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:32,365
Would have been awkward.
270
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:34,835
Would have stood in the back,
kept my head down.
271
00:10:34,902 --> 00:10:37,805
There must have been
a large NASA contingent.
272
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:39,973
His wife didn't want that.
273
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,375
Mmm.
274
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:47,580
If you didn't do what you
do, what would you do?
275
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,616
Um, medicine, probably.
276
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:51,785
No, that's a lie.
277
00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:54,287
I'd grow apples.
278
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:58,759
I'd run an apple orchard
and cider mill,
279
00:10:58,826 --> 00:11:02,095
and I'd be fat
as all get out.
280
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:04,698
Sometimes I think what
if I was at UNICEF or
United Way,
281
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:06,499
pilling together
the AIDS fight,
282
00:11:06,566 --> 00:11:09,870
or back in New York
turning the public
school system around,
283
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:13,273
would that be a more effective
use of my 24 hours?
284
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:16,343
But not this.
285
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,012
Not pushing on the ocean.
286
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,849
Hmm.
287
00:11:31,258 --> 00:11:32,192
Cliff, good to see you.
288
00:11:33,093 --> 00:11:35,128
C.J. Cregg,
with the snazzy promotion.
289
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,830
I don't know if I bow
or kiss the ring.
290
00:11:36,897 --> 00:11:37,965
What's the protocol?
291
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:39,432
Stand when I sit,
sit when I stand,
292
00:11:39,499 --> 00:11:40,433
"yes" my every question.
293
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,403
You see this kid's suit?
294
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:44,571
You like?
295
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:45,773
I do.
Where'd you get...?
296
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:46,774
I'll tell you where.
I have a guy...
297
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,741
Gentlemen?
Sorry.
298
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:49,242
Your suit's nice, too.
299
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:50,844
You've had a chance
to look over the proposal?
300
00:11:50,911 --> 00:11:52,112
Is it going
to get a new name?
301
00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:53,580
The Water Program?
A little on the nose, no?
302
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:55,015
You've got
a better idea?
303
00:11:55,082 --> 00:11:56,683
Water, Water, Everywhere
and Not a Drop to Drink?
304
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:58,318
Mm, we'll think about it.
305
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:00,387
I'm guessing you
have other issues,
so why don't we...
306
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:02,655
Hang on...
307
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:06,059
Oh, man.
I just had a deja vu.
308
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:06,726
Wow.
309
00:12:06,794 --> 00:12:08,461
Sorry. Go ahead.
310
00:12:08,528 --> 00:12:11,198
We're trying to circumnavigate
as much as we can, early on,
311
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:13,300
so let's talk about what
else you're worried...
312
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:14,201
That's not necessary.
313
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:15,468
The name's your only problem?
314
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:16,870
No, no, I don't like any of it;
315
00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:18,271
I don't think
it's gonna work out;
316
00:12:18,338 --> 00:12:19,572
but I really
don't like the name.
317
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:20,774
Admittedly, it's not so much
318
00:12:20,841 --> 00:12:21,842
a solution as a beginning,
319
00:12:21,909 --> 00:12:22,776
but it's a good first step.
320
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:23,576
Yeah. It isn't.
321
00:12:23,643 --> 00:12:24,778
It's a Band-Aid
322
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:26,079
that'll give
the federal government
323
00:12:26,146 --> 00:12:27,280
permission to ignore
drought conditions
324
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:28,748
in 11 states
for another five years.
325
00:12:28,816 --> 00:12:29,716
We're not getting anywhere
near it.
326
00:12:29,783 --> 00:12:30,884
Where'd you get the pin?
327
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:31,885
From a dead woman.
Can we...?
328
00:12:31,952 --> 00:12:33,353
The Drought Program.
329
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:34,087
That's a good name.
330
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:34,988
Conservation measures are...
331
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:36,589
The Drought Plan. Yeah.
332
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:38,058
Because you've created a plan
that will extend the drought.
333
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:38,992
Put a star
next to that one.
334
00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:42,162
It's not a drought.
335
00:12:42,229 --> 00:12:44,464
far less than average annual
rainfall, but we're not.
336
00:12:44,531 --> 00:12:46,834
We're dealing with
58 million people
wrestling over
337
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,535
one river's water,
based on calculations
338
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:50,770
taken in what we now
know were 20 flood years.
339
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:53,306
The party's over;
I'm asking you to work with us.
340
00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:56,009
Hey, I hear you.
I hear your frustration.
Cliff.
341
00:12:56,076 --> 00:12:58,145
Congress won't touch it.
342
00:12:58,211 --> 00:12:58,946
Even if I thought
more of it than I do,
343
00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:00,413
which is little,
344
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,182
the New Mexico delegation
can't vote for it
345
00:13:02,249 --> 00:13:03,984
'cause it makes them look
too pro-EPA.
346
00:13:04,051 --> 00:13:05,385
Sylbie in Colorado
can't vote for it
347
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,187
'cause it makes him look
too anti-EPA.
348
00:13:07,254 --> 00:13:09,122
The California Central Valley
folks can't support it
349
00:13:09,189 --> 00:13:10,690
because any funding they
get from it'll be deducted
350
00:13:10,757 --> 00:13:13,626
from the 42 million they're
already getting from the EPA
351
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:15,062
for pollution management.
352
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:17,464
Collins might vote for it
just to piss off Sylbie,
353
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:19,232
but I wouldn't
stake my morning on
354
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:21,168
anything Hugh Collins might do.
355
00:13:21,234 --> 00:13:22,970
He's a bit of a tippler.
356
00:13:23,036 --> 00:13:25,873
Why'd you come in here if you
weren't prepared to play ball?
357
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:27,207
My niece loves
those little M&M's
358
00:13:27,274 --> 00:13:28,708
with the Seal of the President
on 'em.
359
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:29,742
She takes 'em to school,
360
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:31,945
gets a lot of attention.
361
00:13:32,012 --> 00:13:33,881
You got any of those
lying around?
362
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,052
Sorry, Mr. Lyman.
This'll just take a minute.
363
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:40,787
No problem, Larry.
No problem at all.
364
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:43,390
Take your time.
Nothing going on today.
365
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:46,559
Just trying to win primaries.
No biggie.
366
00:13:46,626 --> 00:13:48,495
Nope.
367
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:51,164
You're not serious.
368
00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:52,232
Toby!
369
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:54,467
Hey, Toby!
370
00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:56,103
Sign me in!
371
00:13:58,005 --> 00:13:59,839
Margaret, it's Josh.
They won't let me in.
372
00:13:59,907 --> 00:14:02,842
MARGARET:
C.J. had to cancel your lunch,
so I killed the pass.
373
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:04,677
Didn't get the message?
374
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:06,980
Yeah, I'm fine about the lunch.
375
00:14:07,047 --> 00:14:09,983
Just coming in to say hello,
hang out for a bit.
376
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:11,751
I've got meetings on the Hill
all afternoon.
377
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:13,686
MARGARET:
They really frown on
the hanging out.
378
00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:15,288
You know what?
Let me in!
379
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:16,924
Hi.
380
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:17,925
Hey. How's it going?
381
00:14:17,991 --> 00:14:19,459
DONNA:
Good. Good flight?
382
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:20,593
Yeah. It was great.
383
00:14:22,429 --> 00:14:24,097
Margaret,
let me in the door.
384
00:14:24,164 --> 00:14:25,232
KATE:
This is the contact list
385
00:14:25,298 --> 00:14:26,399
for everyone involved
with the trip.
386
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:27,867
You'll want
to touch base.
Now?
387
00:14:27,935 --> 00:14:28,936
Not right now.
Let's talk about the guy.
388
00:14:29,002 --> 00:14:30,237
I thought
I was done with that.
389
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:31,504
What's he look like?
Like a white guy.
390
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:32,839
Like a pasty white guy?
He's Brad Pitt.
391
00:14:32,906 --> 00:14:33,706
He's Henry Kissinger.
Stop it.
392
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:34,874
Hi.
Hey.
393
00:14:34,942 --> 00:14:36,143
I need Charlie.
We're working.
394
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:37,810
I heard "Brad Pitt."
You're not working.
395
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,179
Talk to me about the
announcement for the
Family Leave Expansion.
396
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:40,513
The VP wants to come.
397
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:41,381
Hello...
Am I interrupting?
398
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:42,515
You were
in New Hampshire, right?
399
00:14:42,582 --> 00:14:43,716
I was.
That was nice.
400
00:14:43,783 --> 00:14:45,518
You'll call me
about the announcement?
Yeah.
401
00:14:45,585 --> 00:14:47,454
U.S. Ambassador to Mali and the
U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator
402
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,256
are gonna want copies of
whatever we come up with
this afternoon.
403
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:50,657
No problem.
Just tell me:
tall or short.
404
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:52,292
He's a good-looking guy,
he's smart,
405
00:14:52,359 --> 00:14:53,626
he's got a job,
he's not a jerk.
406
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:55,395
I don't know his favorite color
or his sign,
407
00:14:55,462 --> 00:14:57,297
but he's got all his teeth
and almost all his hair, so...
408
00:14:57,364 --> 00:14:59,066
Almost?!
How much is almost?
409
00:14:59,132 --> 00:15:00,968
He's got
a high forehead.
410
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,937
This is a bad idea.
This is a bad idea.
411
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:05,338
Look at this woman.
412
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:05,973
Hello, pumpkin.
413
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:07,307
She's a vision.
414
00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:09,376
I heard Security didn't
want to let you in.
415
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:10,177
New guy.
416
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:10,978
I heard it was Larry.
417
00:15:11,044 --> 00:15:11,979
How you doing?
418
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:13,213
Good.
A little back pain.
419
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,214
Sorry to hear that.
420
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:15,615
I'm thinking
of shiatsu.
421
00:15:15,682 --> 00:15:16,716
That's great stuff.
422
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:18,118
Yeah, that's what
they say.
423
00:15:18,185 --> 00:15:19,719
You're not letting me
in there, are you.
424
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:21,288
Not a chance.
425
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:24,924
M&M's bearing
the Seal of the President.
426
00:15:24,992 --> 00:15:26,459
This from a grown man.
427
00:15:26,526 --> 00:15:27,227
You got any?
428
00:15:27,294 --> 00:15:28,228
What?
429
00:15:28,295 --> 00:15:30,163
The M&M's.
I'm a little peckish.
430
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,332
Thank you.
431
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,034
We've got the agriculture
lobby in an hour.
432
00:15:34,101 --> 00:15:35,535
This better not
happen with them.
433
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:37,404
It won't. We'll get
agriculture on board;
434
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:38,905
we'll do some hand-holding
on the Hill;
435
00:15:38,972 --> 00:15:40,273
we'll put it
together without him.
436
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:41,174
Who behaves like that?
437
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:42,575
It's unprofessional.
438
00:15:42,642 --> 00:15:43,743
Yet terribly effective.
439
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:46,213
You ought to have a
conversation with him.
440
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,015
I'm happy picking up
the loose ends,
441
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:50,050
but Josh Lyman left
a big hole in this place.
442
00:15:50,117 --> 00:15:51,384
Maybe he's coming back,
maybe he isn't.
443
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:53,186
You want me to hire
Cliff Calley?!
444
00:15:53,253 --> 00:15:54,787
He knows the Hill;
he knows what
he's talking about.
445
00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:56,256
You're talking
about a guy
446
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:57,890
who used to work for
Congressional Republicans.
447
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,660
I'm talking about a guy
who shut down an investigation
448
00:16:00,727 --> 00:16:02,229
of my substance abuse history
449
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:06,233
because he thought
maybe we should be
governing the country.
450
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:08,368
It's a Republican
Congress.
451
00:16:08,435 --> 00:16:10,370
Not the worst thing
in the world
452
00:16:10,437 --> 00:16:13,173
to have someone
with relationships
on both sides of the aisle.
453
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,208
No. He's the wrong choice
454
00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:17,544
and he's irritating
and he's obnoxious.
455
00:16:17,610 --> 00:16:18,978
That's worked for us
in the past.
456
00:16:19,046 --> 00:16:20,313
JOSH:
Here's the part where,
457
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:22,149
in deference to
my years of service,
458
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:23,283
you suspend, for a moment,
459
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,118
the Teutonic allegiance
to protocol
460
00:16:25,185 --> 00:16:27,754
and shift thyself
out of my way!
461
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:30,423
Josh Lyman
to see you.
462
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:32,259
Was this place such a killjoy
when I worked here
463
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:34,227
or have the Brownshirts
taken over?
464
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:35,695
You're vibrating.
465
00:16:35,762 --> 00:16:37,130
I feel that. Thanks.
466
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:39,866
JOSH:
Yes.
467
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:41,134
No!
468
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:43,002
I am in town for one day!
469
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:44,771
Tell him he reschedules
this thing again,
470
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:46,373
I'm gonna tear off his head
471
00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,808
and fashion his skull
into a decorative
472
00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:50,343
fruit bowl!
473
00:16:51,778 --> 00:16:52,479
Debbie!
Will!
474
00:16:52,545 --> 00:16:53,180
How goes it?
475
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:54,147
Little bit of back pain,
476
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:55,482
were I to tell the truth.
477
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:57,050
I'm sorry to hear that.
Thinking about yoga.
478
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:58,118
Hear it does wonders.
479
00:16:58,185 --> 00:16:58,951
You can't see him.
480
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:00,420
Five minutes. Two?
481
00:17:00,487 --> 00:17:01,754
Write a letter.
482
00:17:01,821 --> 00:17:05,092
You should be stuck in
double lotus... with an itch.
483
00:17:05,158 --> 00:17:06,526
DEBORAH:
Good to see you.
484
00:17:06,593 --> 00:17:07,494
CHARLIE:
Is it time for
the meeting already?
485
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,661
Uh, not quite.
486
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:10,230
I just wanted to make
sure you were clear
487
00:17:10,297 --> 00:17:11,764
on how the committee
was funding the trip.
488
00:17:11,831 --> 00:17:13,600
It's complicated, so, if you
want to talk through it...
489
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:15,268
It's really not.
Bring him on. The guy.
490
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:16,936
You sure?
Yeah.
491
00:17:17,003 --> 00:17:18,238
I'm ready
to get off the bench.
492
00:17:18,305 --> 00:17:19,606
In the game.
Like that.
493
00:17:19,672 --> 00:17:21,174
I'll put him on the list
for the gala tonight.
494
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:22,442
He'll know a bunch
of people there;
495
00:17:22,509 --> 00:17:23,310
you won't have
to entertain him.
496
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:24,277
Who's he gonna know?
497
00:17:24,344 --> 00:17:25,278
Jimmy Hatch, Howard Kagan.
498
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:26,646
He works for
the government?
499
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,281
It's DC.
He's not the only one.
500
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:30,183
I just thought maybe
he was a regular person.
Sorry.
501
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:31,651
You really don't want
to roll out of bed
502
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:33,220
with drool on your face and
a little bit of a hangover,
503
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:34,387
and change your drawers
in the car
504
00:17:34,454 --> 00:17:36,323
and show up at the office
only to find
505
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,225
last night's strategic error
in your 9:00 a.m. strategic
planning session.
506
00:17:38,291 --> 00:17:39,692
Tell me I'm not having
this conversation.
507
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,128
( heavy sigh )
508
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:42,295
Invite him to the party.
509
00:17:42,362 --> 00:17:44,097
JOSH:
You see the Republican side?
510
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:45,465
LEO:
Arnie Vinick. Clean sweep.
511
00:17:45,532 --> 00:17:46,599
Don't panic.
512
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:49,068
He could get malaria;
race is wide open again.
513
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:54,841
Am I seeing things
or is she...?
514
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,042
Very.
515
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:57,544
Wow. I didn't know
she was pregnant.
516
00:17:57,610 --> 00:17:58,945
LEO:
She's pregnant.
517
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:00,313
I didn't even know
she was married.
518
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:04,917
How is the President doing?
519
00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:06,719
Not terrible.
520
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:08,655
He gets tired and
pretends he isn't.
521
00:18:08,721 --> 00:18:10,357
His legs hurt
and he pretends they don't.
522
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:11,891
We're still figuring it all out.
523
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:13,693
Yeah.
What's up with Toby?
524
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,495
I saw him in the hall...
525
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:17,930
acting like a guy
who owed me money.
526
00:18:17,997 --> 00:18:19,899
C.J.:
He's been out of it
since the funeral.
527
00:18:19,966 --> 00:18:21,401
What funeral?
528
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:23,936
David.
529
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,638
His brother?!
530
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:26,139
He died?!
531
00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:27,507
Tuesday.
532
00:18:27,574 --> 00:18:29,876
He was sick;
he went downhill pretty fast.
533
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,411
Yeah, I knew he was sick,
I, uh...
534
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:34,046
I talked to Toby last week.
535
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,483
Why wouldn't
he say anything?
536
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:39,586
Oh... I feel awful.
537
00:18:39,652 --> 00:18:41,120
I would've gone.
538
00:18:41,188 --> 00:18:42,522
None of us did.
539
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:45,158
They didn't want
a whole to-do.
540
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:48,261
I'm, I'm gonna go...
Yeah. Yeah.
541
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,197
Hey,
542
00:18:50,263 --> 00:18:51,831
you think
we can put together
543
00:18:51,898 --> 00:18:54,167
a water deal without the urban
development lobby on board?
544
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:55,702
Out West?
545
00:18:55,768 --> 00:18:56,769
I don't know.
546
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:59,005
You're gonna get
resistance in New Mexico
547
00:18:59,071 --> 00:19:00,907
and from Sylbie
out of Colorado.
548
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:04,076
You may get the California
Central Valley guys on board,
549
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,144
but you'd have to make it
550
00:19:05,212 --> 00:19:06,679
a pretty sweet deal.
551
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:08,615
They're getting a nice
boost from the EPA now.
552
00:19:08,681 --> 00:19:10,783
They're not gonna walk away
from that without a big carrot.
553
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:15,388
Stop it.
554
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,958
DONNA:
It's good to see you.
555
00:19:19,025 --> 00:19:19,992
It is.
How are you doing?
556
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:21,093
Ah, a little back pain.
557
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,329
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
558
00:19:22,395 --> 00:19:23,796
Thinking about heroin.
Really.
559
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:25,932
Will's not getting in.
Don't make me repeat it.
560
00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:41,314
How go the wars?
561
00:19:41,381 --> 00:19:44,217
I just heard about David.
562
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:45,585
Man, I am so sorry.
563
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:47,019
Thanks.
564
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:48,621
Why didn't you call me?
565
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:50,122
What happened with
the Energy Trust Fund?
566
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,123
It just got dropped.
567
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,360
Screw the Energy Trust Fund.
568
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:54,427
I wish I could've been at the...
569
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:55,762
The Mental Health Commission.
570
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,931
You dropped a bunch of stuff
and walked away.
571
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:01,534
It all got handed off.
572
00:20:01,601 --> 00:20:02,869
( mutters quietly )
573
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:03,870
I gotta...
574
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:08,074
Yeah.
575
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:10,443
( cell phone ringing )
576
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:15,415
Hang on one second.
577
00:20:15,482 --> 00:20:16,883
I got a 12:00 conference call
578
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:18,117
and a 2:00 on the Hill.
579
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:20,219
You want to get
some food in between?
580
00:20:20,287 --> 00:20:21,921
Can't today.
581
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:37,203
TOBY:
A lot of people I know are
working on these campaigns.
582
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:39,506
You're all in the same boat,
583
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,841
you're soldiers in the same war,
584
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:44,911
and then, all of a sudden,
the borders shift
585
00:20:44,977 --> 00:20:46,513
and every word you say
586
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:49,516
and every soda you drink
has loyalty connotations.
587
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:51,017
Could be campaigns,
588
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,885
could be you're not ready
to talk to anybody yet.
589
00:20:52,952 --> 00:20:54,186
I don't have a problem
talking to anybody.
590
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:55,488
You don't.
591
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:57,189
I don't have a problem
talking to you.
592
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:59,792
I'm special.
593
00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:00,860
Yes, you are.
594
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:03,996
You think we rushed into this?
595
00:21:05,732 --> 00:21:07,500
Maybe.
596
00:21:07,567 --> 00:21:09,569
Mm.
597
00:21:10,537 --> 00:21:12,839
You sorry that we did?
598
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:15,708
I'm not, actually.
599
00:21:20,913 --> 00:21:23,550
Doesn't mean
we didn't rush into it.
600
00:21:32,492 --> 00:21:33,826
No, no, no, call 'em back,
601
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,528
talk to Elise Baine,
tell her they're not
602
00:21:35,595 --> 00:21:37,129
bumping us for Ricky Rafferty.
603
00:21:37,196 --> 00:21:39,732
Hang up.
Tell her the congressman
is available tomorrow only.
604
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,401
Rafferty can wait.
Hang up now.
605
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:42,769
Keep your pants on.
606
00:21:42,835 --> 00:21:44,003
Call me back.
607
00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:46,138
I'm gonna put a hit out
on Ricky Rafferty.
608
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:50,377
I need to talk to you-- not
with a million people around.
609
00:21:54,581 --> 00:21:56,949
JOSH:
Is our relationship
about to change?
610
00:21:57,016 --> 00:21:58,851
Rafferty put out
the full text of
the health plan.
611
00:21:58,918 --> 00:22:03,089
Annabeth had a copy.
Look at page three.
612
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,691
"...obliterate
the money-laundering
613
00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:07,794
middleman between
you and your doctor."
614
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,462
Why didn't every article
lead with this?
615
00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:10,897
It wasn't in the
first speech.
616
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:12,565
They released the
whole plan today--
617
00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:13,700
guarantees them another
three days of coverage.
618
00:22:13,766 --> 00:22:15,101
Look how it's structured.
619
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,836
It's structured like
Jed Bartlet structured it
620
00:22:16,903 --> 00:22:18,905
before we forced him
to cut it out of his plan.
621
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:20,573
Rafferty's got to have
someone who worked
622
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,308
on the President's first
health care initiative.
623
00:22:22,375 --> 00:22:23,476
That was you, Toby,
Sam, Melanie, Ken.
624
00:22:23,543 --> 00:22:25,177
You missed one.
625
00:22:25,244 --> 00:22:26,178
No. Who'd I miss?
626
00:22:26,245 --> 00:22:29,015
The President.
627
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,518
You got a second?
628
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:33,553
Has the President sat down
629
00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:35,254
with Senator Rafferty?
Josh.
630
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:36,456
Lunch? Casual?
631
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:37,957
Absolutely not.
632
00:22:38,024 --> 00:22:39,526
Maybe he's not sure
Russell's representing
633
00:22:39,592 --> 00:22:41,227
core Democratic values,
thinks a spoiler
634
00:22:41,293 --> 00:22:44,263
might nudge the debate in
an interesting direction.
The President
635
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:46,666
plans to endorse whoever gets
his party's nomination.
636
00:22:46,733 --> 00:22:48,234
We assume that will be
the Vice President.
637
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,570
I'm sorry he's not prepared
to back your candidate,
638
00:22:50,637 --> 00:22:51,838
but he's most certainly
not backing
639
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:53,840
Ricky Rafferty.
I can just see
640
00:22:53,906 --> 00:22:55,875
where this Rafferty
thing is heading.
641
00:22:55,942 --> 00:22:58,945
Four weeks of articles about
single-payer health care,
642
00:22:59,011 --> 00:23:01,247
and it all reads like
vintage Bartlet.
643
00:23:01,313 --> 00:23:03,550
You know, the President's not
the first guy on the planet
644
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:04,884
to try and phase out
insurance companies.
645
00:23:04,951 --> 00:23:06,586
Though he was
a little obsessed with it.
646
00:23:06,653 --> 00:23:08,054
I thought you were gonna burst
a blood vessel
647
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,789
trying to talk him and Toby
off that one.
648
00:23:09,856 --> 00:23:12,058
I got to go make nice
with a bunch of lobbyists
649
00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:15,061
from the over-subsidized
agribusiness conglomerates.
650
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:17,997
Focus on South
Carolina--Rafferty'll flame out.
651
00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:22,535
Hey, do you have any thoughts
about Russell's package...
652
00:23:22,602 --> 00:23:24,036
packaging?
If this is
653
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:25,938
a "solicit my opinion
so I feel important
654
00:23:26,005 --> 00:23:28,040
before you ask for a favor,"
Donna's already been here
655
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:29,809
and the VP cannot join
the President
656
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:31,644
at the Fraternal Order of Police
on Thursday.
657
00:23:31,711 --> 00:23:33,480
It's not about the FOP--
I'm grooming a man
658
00:23:33,546 --> 00:23:34,814
for the highest
office in the land,
659
00:23:34,881 --> 00:23:36,115
I'm looking to
perfect the image,
660
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:37,517
and they say you're
good at that.
661
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:40,386
They do?
Yes.
662
00:23:40,453 --> 00:23:41,654
These people?
663
00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:45,992
Are you okay?
664
00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:48,628
I'm fine. I have something
in my contact lens.
665
00:23:48,695 --> 00:23:50,897
You're wearing glasses.
666
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:52,431
Sorry.
667
00:23:52,499 --> 00:23:53,566
Did I say something?
668
00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,768
No, no, it's not you.
669
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:58,070
It's just... ( sniffles )
670
00:23:58,137 --> 00:24:00,573
you know, you work somewhere,
and your perspective
671
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,008
and your realm of experience
672
00:24:02,074 --> 00:24:04,343
is different from that
of everyone around you,
673
00:24:04,410 --> 00:24:07,780
and... it's busy.
674
00:24:07,847 --> 00:24:10,617
people don't have time
to pat each other on the back,
675
00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:12,018
and I don't want that,
676
00:24:12,084 --> 00:24:16,756
but, gosh, it's just nice
to hear that...
677
00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:20,026
they think I'm good.
678
00:24:20,092 --> 00:24:21,494
Sorry.
679
00:24:21,561 --> 00:24:22,995
I can come back later.
680
00:24:23,062 --> 00:24:25,832
No. The boots are over,
the haircut was hasty,
681
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:27,800
and in the debates,
he seems too interested
682
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:29,235
in what the other candidates
are saying.
683
00:24:29,301 --> 00:24:31,504
His S's are slushy,
his A's are flat,
684
00:24:31,571 --> 00:24:33,640
he exhales too loud
and inhales too often.
685
00:24:33,706 --> 00:24:34,974
But it's nothing...
686
00:24:35,041 --> 00:24:37,043
nothing that can't be fixed.
687
00:24:37,109 --> 00:24:41,213
And I'm honored,
really honored that you asked.
688
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,582
Cliff Calley.
Thank you.
689
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,050
I was summoned?
690
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:45,317
You were. Sit.
691
00:24:45,384 --> 00:24:46,719
Heel.
Excuse me?
692
00:24:46,786 --> 00:24:49,388
Just seeing if it worked
both ways-- it doesn't.
693
00:24:49,455 --> 00:24:51,758
Do you have any interest
in leaving the private sector?
694
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:53,225
Are you offering me a job?
695
00:24:53,292 --> 00:24:54,226
I'm gauging your interest.
696
00:24:54,293 --> 00:24:55,728
In a White House job.
697
00:24:55,795 --> 00:24:57,930
Don't make me think about it
too hard.
698
00:24:57,997 --> 00:24:59,131
Okay. Wow!
699
00:24:59,198 --> 00:25:00,066
No, thanks.
700
00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:01,300
What?
701
00:25:01,367 --> 00:25:03,836
It's a temp job--
any job in this White House--
702
00:25:03,903 --> 00:25:05,572
and a low-paying one
at that, but wow.
703
00:25:05,638 --> 00:25:06,839
A temp job?
I can't believe
704
00:25:06,906 --> 00:25:08,007
I didn't bring
my little tape recorder.
705
00:25:08,074 --> 00:25:09,408
I could've played this
for my mom.
706
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:10,710
This is all for the
best, because it was
707
00:25:10,777 --> 00:25:12,144
a terrible idea
in the first place.
708
00:25:12,211 --> 00:25:13,746
Leo McGarry thought you
were a bridge builder,
709
00:25:13,813 --> 00:25:15,381
but you're a hack who
works for a bunch
710
00:25:15,447 --> 00:25:17,617
of cookie-cutter
condo builders
and hotel magnates.
711
00:25:17,684 --> 00:25:18,985
I don't know how
you sleep at night.
712
00:25:19,051 --> 00:25:21,220
Ativan.
I met with a herd of
lobbyists on this
713
00:25:21,287 --> 00:25:23,255
water deal today--
you're the only one who
wouldn't budge an inch.
714
00:25:23,322 --> 00:25:25,457
Let's talk about
your agribusiness monsters
715
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:27,259
who are siphoning 90%
of the Colorado River
716
00:25:27,326 --> 00:25:29,696
into the irrigation
of California rice
and alfalfa.
717
00:25:29,762 --> 00:25:32,098
This country is most
secure when it is its
own food source.
718
00:25:32,164 --> 00:25:35,234
Grow food, fine-- it's a desert,
they're growing monsoon crops.
719
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:37,203
I don't need you
on this project.
You're right,
720
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:39,205
because I could jump in,
and you still wouldn't
get a deal,
721
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:41,273
because the Senate'll love it
and the House won't touch it.
722
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:42,809
I'm the only one who'll
tell you to your face.
723
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:44,076
Let me thank you for
your honesty and for
724
00:25:44,143 --> 00:25:45,544
your service to the
American people.
725
00:25:45,612 --> 00:25:47,379
Okay, you want to know
how I sleep at night?
726
00:25:47,446 --> 00:25:48,681
There's a drought in Kenya.
727
00:25:48,748 --> 00:25:50,249
There's a drought in Zambia.
728
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:52,819
There's a drought
in India and Pakistan
729
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:55,521
and Ecuador and Paraguay,
and there's a drought
730
00:25:55,588 --> 00:25:58,090
in Malawi and Uganda
and Australia.
731
00:25:58,157 --> 00:25:59,959
We're the only nation
on the planet that can afford
732
00:26:00,026 --> 00:26:02,061
the $10 billion investment
it'll take to perfect
733
00:26:02,128 --> 00:26:04,163
desalination technology,
and the federal government's
734
00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:06,899
never gonna make that investment
unless they're forced to,
735
00:26:06,966 --> 00:26:08,868
because there's
a major national water crisis,
736
00:26:08,935 --> 00:26:11,370
and they're taking heat from
cookie-cutter condo builders
737
00:26:11,437 --> 00:26:13,606
and hotel magnates!
738
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:15,374
Get out of my office.
739
00:26:15,441 --> 00:26:17,009
Nice.
740
00:26:19,612 --> 00:26:21,413
Immigration bill's
741
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,782
getting gutted in Committee.
742
00:26:22,849 --> 00:26:24,984
You see Rafferty's
health care plan?
743
00:26:26,653 --> 00:26:29,989
Yeah. Who was your
point person on immigration?
744
00:26:30,056 --> 00:26:31,824
"Obliterate
the money-laundering middleman
745
00:26:31,891 --> 00:26:33,960
between you and your doctor"--
does it bother you,
746
00:26:34,026 --> 00:26:35,828
someone stealing your stuff,
does that...
747
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:36,929
trouble you at all?
748
00:26:36,996 --> 00:26:38,530
It doesn't.
It would.
749
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:40,767
You're not a good sharer.
750
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:42,034
Only way it doesn't bother you
751
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:45,071
is if you handed it to him
yourself.
752
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:46,338
Shut the door.
Ricky Rafferty?
753
00:26:46,405 --> 00:26:48,307
Are you out of your mind?
754
00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:49,909
I've just eked out a lead,
755
00:26:49,976 --> 00:26:51,811
my guy's the friggin'
little engine that could--
756
00:26:51,878 --> 00:26:52,979
what do you think
you're doing?
757
00:26:53,045 --> 00:26:54,814
I don't know,
I thought maybe
758
00:26:54,881 --> 00:26:56,415
there should be somebody
in the field
759
00:26:56,482 --> 00:26:58,550
who talks like a Democrat.
760
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:01,487
You wasted the opportunity,
you and your garage sale find.
761
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:03,089
My what?
Ethanol pledge?
762
00:27:03,155 --> 00:27:04,623
I'm trying to win a race here.
763
00:27:04,691 --> 00:27:06,192
Matthew Santos isn't
gonna win anything.
764
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:07,960
All you've got
is a chance to shape
765
00:27:08,027 --> 00:27:10,362
the debate, strengthen
the party, and you blew it.
766
00:27:10,429 --> 00:27:11,563
You ran to the center
767
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:13,299
for a stinkin' 19%
768
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:14,734
in New Hampshire?!
769
00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:16,535
You're not supposed to be
trying to win anything.
770
00:27:16,602 --> 00:27:18,004
You don't have the man.
771
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:20,072
You think I left the White House
to shape the debate?
772
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,941
Somebody's got to.
This is your
contribution
773
00:27:22,008 --> 00:27:23,209
to the soul of the party?
774
00:27:23,275 --> 00:27:24,043
The world needed another
775
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:25,577
going-nowhere health care plan?
776
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:26,679
The world needed
to be presented
777
00:27:26,746 --> 00:27:28,114
with at least
one useful idea.
778
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:30,983
Now every viable candidate
has to waste airtime
779
00:27:31,050 --> 00:27:33,652
on why they do or don't support
socialized medicine.
780
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,187
There's a profit-generating
industry
781
00:27:35,254 --> 00:27:37,189
leeching the life out of
this country's health care!
782
00:27:37,256 --> 00:27:39,125
You got something better
you want to talk about?
783
00:27:39,191 --> 00:27:41,027
You're dragging the entire field
to the left!
784
00:27:41,093 --> 00:27:42,594
Good!
You could have
fed me ideas,
785
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:44,764
you don't like the way
I'm running this thing.
786
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:47,499
Yeah? How.
How? Telephone.
787
00:27:47,566 --> 00:27:49,668
How?
What are we talking ab...
788
00:27:49,736 --> 00:27:51,337
You didn't ask me.
Why the hell
789
00:27:51,403 --> 00:27:54,040
didn't you come to me
before you picked Santos?!
790
00:27:54,106 --> 00:27:56,876
You have any idea how strong
a force we would've been
791
00:27:56,943 --> 00:27:59,211
had we taken on a candidate
together?
792
00:27:59,278 --> 00:28:00,246
I'm asking you now.
793
00:28:00,312 --> 00:28:01,280
Yeah, well, no.
794
00:28:01,347 --> 00:28:02,548
That's it? That's your answer?
795
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:03,950
Yeah, that's my answer.
796
00:28:04,016 --> 00:28:08,554
You are a selfish, petty...
Get out.
797
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:10,857
waste of the oxygen in the air
798
00:28:10,923 --> 00:28:12,792
that useful people
could be...
Get out!
799
00:28:12,859 --> 00:28:14,660
You get out, you selfish
son of a bitch!
800
00:28:14,727 --> 00:28:17,663
TOBY:
My brother and I
used to collect pennies.
801
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:19,398
Pick them up off the street
802
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:22,802
and put them in a...
in an old whiskey bottle
803
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:26,572
we swiped from my old man.
804
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:30,676
Every few months or so,
we'd go to the bank...
805
00:28:30,743 --> 00:28:32,745
to get these paper things,
806
00:28:32,812 --> 00:28:37,183
the tubes
to make rolls of change.
807
00:28:37,249 --> 00:28:39,285
My brother said
never walk down the street
808
00:28:39,351 --> 00:28:42,221
without a roll of pennies
in your pocket.
809
00:28:42,288 --> 00:28:44,356
'Cause you belt a guy with a...
810
00:28:44,423 --> 00:28:48,660
roll of pennies in your fist,
you do some damage.
811
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,963
Get out!
812
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:01,974
Get out!
813
00:29:16,923 --> 00:29:19,826
( panting )
814
00:29:25,965 --> 00:29:28,067
( stifled crying )
815
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:37,609
Oh, good. Can you
ask Charlie to get
me some background
816
00:29:37,676 --> 00:29:41,113
on desalination
technology when he gets
back from the Hill?
817
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:44,516
What?
818
00:29:44,583 --> 00:29:46,385
( knocking )
819
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:05,071
( loud crunching )
820
00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:15,347
Maybe you should take a week,
821
00:30:15,414 --> 00:30:17,649
go back to New York.
I don't want
a week.
822
00:30:17,716 --> 00:30:19,451
You don't have to want it.
823
00:30:19,518 --> 00:30:22,421
I'm just not sure
you're doing yourself
any good here right now.
824
00:30:22,488 --> 00:30:23,722
I'll be fine.
825
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:25,024
I'm not sure
you're doing us
826
00:30:25,091 --> 00:30:26,392
any good here right now.
827
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:28,827
There are some things
falling through the cracks.
828
00:30:28,895 --> 00:30:30,162
What?
Little stupid stuff.
829
00:30:30,229 --> 00:30:31,931
Remarks to the Fraternal Order
of Police,
830
00:30:31,998 --> 00:30:33,265
which I care about
not at all.
831
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:34,800
I'm happy to take it
off your plate.
832
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:36,002
You just need to tell me.
833
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:37,303
No, I'll do it.
834
00:30:37,369 --> 00:30:38,504
You will?
835
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:43,275
How are David's kids doing?
836
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:47,446
Just... just great.
837
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:50,182
If that's where you should be,
there's nothing,
838
00:30:50,249 --> 00:30:51,951
nothing more important.
839
00:30:52,018 --> 00:30:55,087
I'm aware of what's important
in this landscape, thanks.
840
00:30:56,923 --> 00:31:00,392
When you...
lose somebody like that,
841
00:31:00,459 --> 00:31:02,794
that young and healthy
842
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,097
and gone to some
senseless cancer...
843
00:31:05,164 --> 00:31:07,033
Can we not do
this, please?
Give yourself
844
00:31:07,099 --> 00:31:10,136
some time to sit with his kids
and look at his picture.
845
00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:13,973
I don't want to look
at his picture.
846
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,517
He did this.
847
00:31:25,584 --> 00:31:27,686
He did this.
848
00:31:27,753 --> 00:31:29,455
You understand?
849
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:31,223
He sat in the...
850
00:31:31,290 --> 00:31:34,193
garage with the
engine running.
851
00:31:37,663 --> 00:31:40,199
( crying )
852
00:31:44,636 --> 00:31:46,405
He was sick.
No.
853
00:31:46,472 --> 00:31:49,208
He was diagnosed.
854
00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:54,046
He could've had years.
855
00:31:54,113 --> 00:31:56,282
But instead this.
His wife finds him.
856
00:31:56,348 --> 00:31:58,384
What if one of
his kids had...
857
00:31:58,450 --> 00:32:03,322
He just dropped
everything and
walked away.
858
00:32:03,389 --> 00:32:05,257
It's Jewish tradition
that you don't leave
859
00:32:05,324 --> 00:32:07,359
the body alone
before the funeral.
860
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:12,164
Someone... stays and guards it.
861
00:32:12,231 --> 00:32:17,103
And I sat in that room
for hours, watching him.
862
00:32:20,006 --> 00:32:22,841
Trying to figure out what was...
863
00:32:22,908 --> 00:32:25,811
what could have...
864
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:29,148
gone through his brain.
865
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:33,352
( crying )
866
00:32:37,256 --> 00:32:40,392
I'm not interested
in looking at his picture.
867
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:45,297
( sighs )
868
00:32:46,132 --> 00:32:48,700
( sniffles )
869
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:50,302
You want some water?
870
00:32:50,369 --> 00:32:52,404
No.
871
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:54,006
Scotch?
872
00:32:54,073 --> 00:32:56,008
( laughs, sniffles )
873
00:32:56,075 --> 00:32:58,010
No.
874
00:33:00,779 --> 00:33:02,748
You want me to go?
875
00:33:06,752 --> 00:33:09,188
( whispers ):
No.
876
00:33:17,396 --> 00:33:20,499
You stopped.
877
00:33:20,566 --> 00:33:22,168
Huh?
878
00:33:22,234 --> 00:33:24,170
You were about
to answer my question--
879
00:33:24,236 --> 00:33:26,438
How'd he die?
880
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:33,445
Cancer.
881
00:33:45,324 --> 00:33:46,592
They're not so good
with details.
882
00:33:46,658 --> 00:33:47,659
Yeah.
883
00:33:50,296 --> 00:33:51,197
Could call your friends
at DOD,
884
00:33:51,263 --> 00:33:52,764
find out the guy's name?
885
00:33:52,831 --> 00:33:53,999
I'll figure it out
before you meet him.
Don't worry.
886
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,167
I just want
to get some info.
887
00:33:55,234 --> 00:33:56,568
Know what
I'm getting myself into.
888
00:33:56,635 --> 00:33:58,304
You do an NSC
background check
before every date?
889
00:33:58,370 --> 00:33:59,605
No wonder it's been slow.
890
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,207
I'm not gonna do
a background check.
891
00:34:01,273 --> 00:34:02,141
I'm just wanna poke
around a little at DOD.
892
00:34:02,208 --> 00:34:03,342
He doesn't work at DOD.
893
00:34:03,409 --> 00:34:04,576
You said he worked
with Kagan and Hatch.
894
00:34:04,643 --> 00:34:06,112
He plays ball with them.
He works at State.
895
00:34:06,178 --> 00:34:07,379
What desk?
896
00:34:07,446 --> 00:34:08,780
Somewhere in South America.
Maybe Paraguay.
897
00:34:08,847 --> 00:34:09,781
Uruguay?
Yes.
898
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:10,982
Red hair?
Yeah.
899
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,384
Dick Van Dyke nose?
You know him?
900
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:15,087
Used to be married to him.
901
00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:16,622
"Is Kate Harper seeing anyone?"
902
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:19,225
I misunderstood
the initial inquiry, didn't I?
903
00:34:24,796 --> 00:34:26,465
( knocking )
904
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,974
LEO:
Since when
do you wear specs?
905
00:34:36,041 --> 00:34:37,776
I don't.
906
00:34:37,843 --> 00:34:38,877
Somebody leave 'em?
907
00:34:38,944 --> 00:34:40,879
Yeah.
908
00:34:40,946 --> 00:34:42,013
They're not mine,
are they?
909
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,715
I don't think so.
I lost a pair.
910
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:44,716
They're not yours, Leo.
911
00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:45,717
Well, they look
like mine.
912
00:34:45,784 --> 00:34:46,752
They're my brother's.
913
00:34:53,392 --> 00:34:54,893
Can you see through 'em?
914
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,129
I don't know.
915
00:34:58,164 --> 00:35:00,399
You going to this
DNC thing?
Yeah.
916
00:35:00,466 --> 00:35:01,767
I understand
you have a favorite.
917
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:04,203
You here to fight
Josh Lyman's battles?
918
00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:06,472
You can't be doing this
from the White House.
919
00:35:06,538 --> 00:35:07,473
Leo...
920
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:09,541
You can't do this
to the President.
921
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:11,943
You think the President
doesn't want
922
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:13,712
genuine Democratic values
923
00:35:13,779 --> 00:35:15,614
in a national Presidential
contest?
924
00:35:15,681 --> 00:35:17,115
He'd do this himself,
if he could.
925
00:35:17,183 --> 00:35:18,717
I'm doing this
for the President.
926
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:19,385
He could help Russell
927
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:20,586
right now, if he wanted.
928
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:22,388
Joint appearances,
a bill signing
929
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:23,622
with the VP standing
right by is side.
930
00:35:23,689 --> 00:35:24,890
Ricky Rafferty's
the alternative.
931
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,024
We do what we can do.
932
00:35:26,091 --> 00:35:26,958
That's not your
job anymore.
933
00:35:27,025 --> 00:35:28,327
You are no
longer the guy
934
00:35:28,394 --> 00:35:29,728
who picks losing candidates
and ushers them
935
00:35:29,795 --> 00:35:31,197
to their principled end.
936
00:35:31,263 --> 00:35:33,999
You're the guy who takes good
men and makes them great.
937
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:36,535
You and Josh, you still think
you're terriers,
938
00:35:36,602 --> 00:35:38,069
barking at the heels
of the party.
939
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,671
You are the party.
940
00:35:40,539 --> 00:35:41,773
Rafferty's a spoiler.
941
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,741
Shouldn't be in the race.
942
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:44,176
I'm not sitting
this one out, Leo.
943
00:35:44,243 --> 00:35:45,611
Don't.
944
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:47,979
But don't pretend
you're still an outsider
945
00:35:48,046 --> 00:35:49,281
with a ponytail and a dream.
946
00:35:49,348 --> 00:35:52,150
You work in the White House.
947
00:35:57,489 --> 00:36:00,192
Your brother didn't have
any more fight in him.
948
00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:05,864
You still do.
949
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:12,804
JOSH:
You're gonna be right here
between Clarkson and Rafferty.
950
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:14,806
The President's gonna come up,
everybody holds hands,
951
00:36:14,873 --> 00:36:16,675
picture, picture, picture,
and we're gone.
952
00:36:16,742 --> 00:36:18,944
The President's between
Russell and Hoynes.
953
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:19,945
Everybody's in the shot.
954
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,280
I'm second to the left.
955
00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:22,548
You don't have
a problem with the symbolism?
956
00:36:22,614 --> 00:36:23,815
That's the best
we could do.
957
00:36:23,882 --> 00:36:24,983
Second only to Rafferty,
958
00:36:25,050 --> 00:36:26,485
who's all the way
to the left.
959
00:36:26,552 --> 00:36:28,354
Sir, you're a Democrat,
left is not a crime,
960
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:29,355
liberal is not
a dirty word.
961
00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:30,589
We scored New Hampshire
962
00:36:30,656 --> 00:36:32,123
because people responded
to your policies.
963
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:34,893
The temptation to grab at
center's only going to grow.
964
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,262
Let's just take a minute
965
00:36:36,328 --> 00:36:37,696
and remember
where you came from.
966
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:38,764
I can't remember.
967
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:40,065
I'm sorry.
968
00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:41,733
I was born
a poor black child.
969
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,168
Close, but no,
that's not right.
970
00:36:43,235 --> 00:36:44,303
If you shake hands
with the President,
971
00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:45,504
hang on as long
as possible,
972
00:36:45,571 --> 00:36:47,939
give the cameras a chance
to catch it.
973
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,007
I was born on the bayou?
974
00:36:49,074 --> 00:36:50,376
That's not it either.
975
00:36:50,442 --> 00:36:51,777
Matt Santos,
good to meet you.
976
00:36:51,843 --> 00:36:53,879
Half an hour
of grip and grin
and you're done.
977
00:36:53,945 --> 00:36:56,315
Grin, really,
I'm not supposed to grip.
978
00:36:56,382 --> 00:36:58,250
We told them you're leaving
before the speeches.
979
00:36:58,317 --> 00:37:00,252
In deference
to my health?
980
00:37:00,319 --> 00:37:01,453
There's an excuse
981
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,154
we could've started
using years ago.
982
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:04,623
I found a few people
on the guest list
983
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:06,558
who aren't connected
to any of the campaigns.
984
00:37:06,625 --> 00:37:07,993
You should focus
your attention on them.
985
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:09,160
You made a list?
986
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,430
I'll point them out.
There are six.
987
00:37:11,497 --> 00:37:12,764
I hope you're
on that list.
988
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:22,774
Can this be one
of those nights
989
00:37:22,841 --> 00:37:23,642
where we get sloshed
990
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:25,311
and forget
we work together?
991
00:37:25,377 --> 00:37:27,779
Ah, that would be lovely.
992
00:37:27,846 --> 00:37:29,315
Josh is here.
993
00:37:29,381 --> 00:37:30,349
If you're gonna
go at it again,
994
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:31,317
will you let me know
in time
995
00:37:31,383 --> 00:37:32,984
to put some money
on it?
996
00:37:33,051 --> 00:37:35,153
I'm gonna go downstairs
to the bar for a little while.
997
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:37,889
Yell if you need me.
998
00:37:37,956 --> 00:37:38,824
C.J.
999
00:37:38,890 --> 00:37:39,925
Cliff.
1000
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:42,628
I was summoned again.
That's gotta stop.
1001
00:37:42,694 --> 00:37:44,330
One gets drunk
with the power.
1002
00:37:44,396 --> 00:37:46,532
I'm hiring you to work
in the White House.
1003
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:47,733
I looked into what you said
about desalination.
1004
00:37:47,799 --> 00:37:49,801
I think
you've got a point.
1005
00:37:49,868 --> 00:37:51,303
I'm still concerned
you may be soulless,
1006
00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:52,338
but we can work on that.
1007
00:37:52,404 --> 00:37:53,271
Yeah. I turned you down.
1008
00:37:53,339 --> 00:37:54,506
Nobody turns us down.
1009
00:37:54,573 --> 00:37:56,308
We're like the mob,
but less violent.
1010
00:37:56,375 --> 00:37:58,043
Ultimately, responsible
for more death
1011
00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:59,711
and destruction, but still...
1012
00:37:59,778 --> 00:38:01,313
You don't think
I'm an odd choice
for this White House?
1013
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:02,381
I think we've got
a few months left
1014
00:38:02,448 --> 00:38:03,915
and a lot of
governing to do.
1015
00:38:03,982 --> 00:38:05,617
And I think you're a guy who
misses serving his country.
1016
00:38:05,684 --> 00:38:06,385
C.J.--
1017
00:38:06,452 --> 00:38:07,753
Take a second
and breathe.
1018
00:38:07,819 --> 00:38:09,555
In a moment, you're going
to wish you had.
1019
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,423
Pardon me, sir,
this is Cliff Calley.
1020
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:13,124
We had a great chat
this morning
1021
00:38:13,191 --> 00:38:14,693
about your Water Program.
He's a big fan.
1022
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,927
Good to meet you,
Mr. Calley.
1023
00:38:15,994 --> 00:38:17,763
It's an honor, sir,
but I'm afraid
1024
00:38:17,829 --> 00:38:20,899
Ms. Cregg may have slightly
misrepresented my position.
1025
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:22,233
C.J., he's not a fan?
1026
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,402
I thought the deal
was you were
1027
00:38:23,469 --> 00:38:25,771
to you surround me
with sycophants.
1028
00:38:25,837 --> 00:38:27,573
This is one
of the six people
1029
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:29,007
you're allowed
to speak to.
1030
00:38:29,074 --> 00:38:30,476
Take your time.
1031
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:37,349
Looky, looky.
1032
00:38:37,416 --> 00:38:38,417
I thought
you weren't coming.
1033
00:38:38,484 --> 00:38:40,218
Yeah, me, too.
1034
00:38:40,285 --> 00:38:41,920
It's time to get back
in the pool.
1035
00:38:41,987 --> 00:38:42,921
Good for you.
1036
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:43,989
Sorry I couldn't help.
1037
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:47,759
Once upon a time,
I did this all by myself.
1038
00:38:53,799 --> 00:38:54,466
Hi.
1039
00:38:54,533 --> 00:38:55,834
BARTENDER:
Evening.
1040
00:38:55,901 --> 00:38:56,902
What can I get you?
1041
00:38:56,968 --> 00:38:57,569
A glass of red, please.
1042
00:38:57,636 --> 00:38:59,905
Whatever's open.
1043
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:10,849
( clears throat )
1044
00:39:10,916 --> 00:39:11,783
Pathetic.
1045
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:12,918
Avoid the Swiss.
1046
00:39:12,984 --> 00:39:14,185
As a general rule?
1047
00:39:14,252 --> 00:39:16,054
I didn't know they made you
come to these things.
1048
00:39:16,121 --> 00:39:17,322
I take an interest.
Really?
1049
00:39:17,389 --> 00:39:18,590
I needed a change
of scenery.
Okay.
1050
00:39:18,657 --> 00:39:19,858
I have no reason
for being here.
1051
00:39:19,925 --> 00:39:20,892
Let's keep it
between ourselves.
1052
00:39:20,959 --> 00:39:21,893
No problem.
1053
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,695
I'm on my 82nd
of what's bound
1054
00:39:23,762 --> 00:39:25,664
to be 350 identical
conversations.
1055
00:39:25,731 --> 00:39:27,132
I think
I'm losing my voice.
1056
00:39:27,198 --> 00:39:28,600
That's awful.
1057
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:31,236
You mind if we stand here
and pretend we're talking
1058
00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:32,237
but we actually don't?
1059
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:34,606
Sure.
1060
00:40:02,634 --> 00:40:05,003
( jazz playing )
1061
00:40:14,846 --> 00:40:19,384
You sound like a guy formulating
an exit strategy.
1062
00:40:19,451 --> 00:40:21,520
TOBY:
I don't know.
Could be.
1063
00:40:21,587 --> 00:40:23,655
Can't say I'm entirely
surprised.
1064
00:40:23,722 --> 00:40:24,790
WOMAN:
Senator Rafferty?
1065
00:40:24,856 --> 00:40:26,525
They're ready
for you upstairs.
1066
00:40:26,592 --> 00:40:28,594
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
1067
00:40:32,397 --> 00:40:35,233
I think you've said some things
this country needs to hear.
1068
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,769
You've established yourself
as a national presence.
1069
00:40:37,836 --> 00:40:40,839
You step out
before Super Tuesday,
1070
00:40:40,906 --> 00:40:43,942
before anybody's shot
at a nomination is foiled
1071
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:47,378
by what would be considered
a spoiler.
1072
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:48,480
Maybe there's
1073
00:40:48,547 --> 00:40:49,781
a Vice Presidency
in this for you.
1074
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:52,417
I'm not pulling out
before South Carolina.
1075
00:40:52,484 --> 00:40:53,519
I did this
to make a point.
1076
00:40:53,585 --> 00:40:54,986
Absolutely.
1077
00:40:55,053 --> 00:40:58,289
And I want to make sure
that everybody's heard it.
1078
00:40:58,356 --> 00:40:59,357
I certainly never...
1079
00:40:59,424 --> 00:41:01,960
I've got to step out now.
1080
00:41:04,429 --> 00:41:08,299
Yeah.
1081
00:41:08,366 --> 00:41:09,868
I should go.
1082
00:41:11,402 --> 00:41:12,738
I'm gonna finish my drink.
1083
00:41:12,804 --> 00:41:14,439
You've still got my number,
if you need it.
1084
00:41:14,506 --> 00:41:16,642
Yeah, I do.
1085
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:21,146
Put them on. Let me see.
1086
00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:29,555
Looks good.
1087
00:41:29,621 --> 00:41:31,489
Makes you look smart.
1088
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:36,227
I thought I looked smart before.
1089
00:41:37,629 --> 00:41:40,599
So did I.
