1
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:44,786
In all the decisions I have
made in my public life,
2
00:00:45,662 --> 00:00:48,498
I have always tried to do
what was best for the nation.
3
00:00:49,499 --> 00:00:53,045
In the past few days, however,
it has become evident to me
4
00:00:53,879 --> 00:00:56,798
that I no longer have a
strong enough political base
5
00:00:57,507 --> 00:01:01,803
in the Congress to justify
continuing that effort.
6
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:06,433
Therefore, I shall
resign the presidency
7
00:01:06,892 --> 00:01:08,393
effective at noon tomorrow.
8
00:01:09,728 --> 00:01:13,732
Vice President Ford will
be sworn in as president
9
00:01:14,232 --> 00:01:16,777
at that hour in this office.
10
00:01:18,236 --> 00:01:20,280
As I recall the high
hopes for America
11
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:23,241
with which we began
this second term,
12
00:01:24,076 --> 00:01:25,327
I feel a great sadness
13
00:01:26,745 --> 00:01:29,456
that I will not be here in
this office working on...
14
00:01:29,748 --> 00:01:32,084
[voice fades]
15
00:01:34,795 --> 00:01:36,338
[commentator] Mr. and Mrs.
Ford have joined the Nixons
16
00:01:37,255 --> 00:01:41,510
as they make the last walk
out to Army One, the helicopter.
17
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:42,761
Congratulations.
18
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:45,388
- Congratulations or condolences?
- [Richard chuckles]
19
00:01:46,306 --> 00:01:49,142
[Richard] She's
all yours. Be safe.
20
00:01:51,603 --> 00:01:53,480
[commentator] There is
the President waving goodbye.
21
00:01:53,939 --> 00:01:55,398
Can you hear the applause?
22
00:02:00,112 --> 00:02:02,531
President Nixon's helicopter
going over the fountains
23
00:02:03,115 --> 00:02:04,157
of the White House south lawn.
24
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:08,245
[Gerald] I am acutely aware
that you have not elected me
25
00:02:08,829 --> 00:02:11,706
as your president
by your ballots,
26
00:02:12,415 --> 00:02:17,170
so I ask you to confirm
me as your president
27
00:02:17,963 --> 00:02:19,214
with your prayers.
28
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,426
I have not campaigned
either for the presidency
29
00:02:23,802 --> 00:02:24,719
or the vice presidency.
30
00:02:25,345 --> 00:02:30,350
I am indebted to no man
and only to one woman,
31
00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:32,477
my dear wife...
32
00:02:33,311 --> 00:02:34,980
[camera shutters clicking]
33
00:02:35,647 --> 00:02:38,275
...as I begin this
very difficult job.
34
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:44,197
I have not sought this
enormous responsibility,
35
00:02:45,657 --> 00:02:47,200
but I will not shirk it.
36
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,453
This land is your land
37
00:02:52,873 --> 00:02:55,333
This land is my land
38
00:02:58,336 --> 00:03:01,173
From California
39
00:03:02,174 --> 00:03:06,344
Well to the New York Island
40
00:03:07,345 --> 00:03:10,891
From the Redwood Forest
41
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:16,396
To the Gulf Stream Waters
42
00:03:17,355 --> 00:03:21,234
I tell you this land
43
00:03:21,818 --> 00:03:25,488
Was made for you and me
44
00:03:25,697 --> 00:03:27,199
Yeah
45
00:03:27,866 --> 00:03:31,244
Mmm
46
00:03:32,037 --> 00:03:35,957
One bright sunny morning
47
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:40,545
Well, in the shadow of a steeple
48
00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:45,842
Down by the welfare office
49
00:03:46,384 --> 00:03:50,305
I saw my people
50
00:03:51,264 --> 00:03:55,310
I was wondering if this land
51
00:03:55,894 --> 00:04:01,274
Was made for you and me
52
00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:06,947
- [trainer] Yes, push!
- [grunting]
53
00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:09,241
One, two. One, two. One, two.
54
00:04:09,741 --> 00:04:11,618
Come on! One, two. Push!
55
00:04:12,244 --> 00:04:13,703
[grunting]
56
00:04:14,579 --> 00:04:16,998
Come on. Push
through. Five more.
57
00:04:17,582 --> 00:04:18,583
Hard as you can. You got this.
58
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,460
Don't stop. Come on.
59
00:04:20,752 --> 00:04:23,129
Come on. Come on.
60
00:04:23,588 --> 00:04:24,798
Four! Five!
61
00:04:25,257 --> 00:04:26,049
[both grunting]
62
00:04:26,758 --> 00:04:28,969
Senator Hillary Clinton
has opened up a huge lead
63
00:04:29,552 --> 00:04:30,345
over her democratic challengers
64
00:04:31,263 --> 00:04:32,597
according to a new Washington
Post ABC News poll.
65
00:04:33,473 --> 00:04:35,308
Senator Hillary Clinton is
still the Democrat to beat.
66
00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:39,145
The poll shows support for both
Barack Obama and John Edwards
67
00:04:39,604 --> 00:04:40,647
is dropping off.
68
00:04:50,407 --> 00:04:53,159
[sighs] Can't say
I've taken that route.
69
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:55,537
[bodyguard] Safest way, ma'am.
70
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,289
[Michelle] Great.
71
00:04:58,498 --> 00:05:00,333
[Barack] I know. Packed.
72
00:05:02,294 --> 00:05:04,337
Mmm. And you're finally on time.
73
00:05:04,963 --> 00:05:06,756
Well, you know, I
didn't wanna miss out
74
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:08,633
on some one-on-one
time with you.
75
00:05:09,592 --> 00:05:12,053
[chuckles] Yeah, we can't
miss our date night tradition,
76
00:05:12,679 --> 00:05:14,806
even if we have to shut
the whole place down.
77
00:05:15,432 --> 00:05:16,599
- Oh, yeah. Thank you.
- Thank you.
78
00:05:17,475 --> 00:05:18,893
You may not have to
worry about it much longer.
79
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,981
I-- I'm still trailing
Hillary by double digits.
80
00:05:23,606 --> 00:05:27,360
Yeah, well, she
seems to really want it.
81
00:05:27,986 --> 00:05:32,324
Yeah, she's whopping
my ass in every debate.
82
00:05:32,782 --> 00:05:33,992
Sorry.
83
00:05:35,785 --> 00:05:39,998
You know, my-- my
team thinks that I have
84
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:42,292
- a relatability issue.
- Mm-hmm.
85
00:05:43,001 --> 00:05:47,172
But they've got this idea
on how to ameliorate that.
86
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,966
Is it to stop you from
casually using words
87
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:52,844
like relatability
and ameliorate?
88
00:05:54,512 --> 00:05:55,722
Actually, it's you.
89
00:05:56,181 --> 00:05:58,266
- [laughs]
- All right. Look,
90
00:05:58,725 --> 00:05:59,934
you're stunning.
91
00:06:00,518 --> 00:06:01,936
- No, you are, and you're--
- Ugh.
92
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,273
You're brilliant and relatable--
93
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,192
I don't know, it's
the best word for it.
94
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:10,904
You are relatable and
certainly more relatable than--
95
00:06:11,529 --> 00:06:13,073
I don't know, some
half-Kenyan brother
96
00:06:13,573 --> 00:06:14,908
from fucking Hawaii, you know?
97
00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:18,536
Okay, then what
does all of this entail?
98
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,373
Well...
99
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:23,875
- a few speaking engagements--
- [groans]
100
00:06:24,501 --> 00:06:25,502
- No, no, listen. But we'll--
- Barack...
101
00:06:26,544 --> 00:06:28,421
We'll work the schedule
around the kids. It'll be family first.
102
00:06:28,922 --> 00:06:30,215
I don't know, you know?
103
00:06:30,882 --> 00:06:32,384
And you know I don't
love public speaking.
104
00:06:33,009 --> 00:06:36,679
I get it, but you're
an amazing speaker.
105
00:06:37,055 --> 00:06:39,557
And it'd be a chance
106
00:06:40,392 --> 00:06:42,852
for us to work
together as a team.
107
00:06:44,437 --> 00:06:45,897
And I miss you.
108
00:06:47,107 --> 00:06:49,401
There you go with
that sweet talking.
109
00:06:52,529 --> 00:06:54,406
So you'll think about it?
110
00:06:56,116 --> 00:06:57,617
I'll think about it.
111
00:06:58,743 --> 00:06:59,244
All right.
112
00:06:59,744 --> 00:07:00,620
["Yes We Can Can" playing]
113
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:02,205
- I'll take that as a win.
- Thank you.
114
00:07:02,914 --> 00:07:05,250
After you give me
dessert, I'll think about it.
115
00:07:05,917 --> 00:07:08,711
- Oh, you're gonna get dessert.
- Yeah.
116
00:07:09,587 --> 00:07:12,006
No one knows more about
the character, the heart
117
00:07:12,549 --> 00:07:14,092
or the intention of Barack Obama
118
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:17,303
than the woman who agreed
to take this journey with him.
119
00:07:17,929 --> 00:07:20,223
She's gonna make
some kind of tremendous
120
00:07:20,807 --> 00:07:23,101
- First Lady of this nation.
- [cheering]
121
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:25,311
Ladies and gentlemen,
Michelle Obama!
122
00:07:26,104 --> 00:07:30,150
The next First Lady of the
United States, Michelle Obama.
123
00:07:30,775 --> 00:07:32,152
We got to make
this land a better land
124
00:07:32,777 --> 00:07:34,487
Than the world in which we live
125
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,323
And we got to help each
man Be a better man
126
00:07:37,949 --> 00:07:41,369
With the kindness that we give
127
00:07:42,078 --> 00:07:46,583
I feel privileged to be a
part of even witnessing this.
128
00:07:47,459 --> 00:07:48,918
Traveling around states
129
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:51,546
and being reminded
that there's more
130
00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:53,840
that unites us than divides us.
131
00:07:54,799 --> 00:07:57,302
- I know we can make it
- I know we can
132
00:07:57,969 --> 00:07:59,596
I know darn well
That we can work it out
133
00:08:00,638 --> 00:08:03,600
Yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
134
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:05,560
If you wanna yes we can can
135
00:08:06,144 --> 00:08:07,729
I know we can make it work
136
00:08:08,521 --> 00:08:11,816
I know we can make it if we try
137
00:08:12,859 --> 00:08:14,486
Thank you.
138
00:08:16,112 --> 00:08:17,071
Thank you so much.
139
00:08:17,614 --> 00:08:19,491
[supporter] We
love you, Michelle!
140
00:08:19,949 --> 00:08:20,867
Thank you.
141
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:24,370
I am honored and
excited to be here.
142
00:08:24,996 --> 00:08:27,165
This has been an
amazing year for us.
143
00:08:27,790 --> 00:08:30,210
Just think where we
were one year ago.
144
00:08:31,002 --> 00:08:35,131
Barack was standing in front
of the State Capitol in Illinois
145
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,551
to announce that he
was running for president.
146
00:08:42,847 --> 00:08:45,767
What we have
learned over this year
147
00:08:46,684 --> 00:08:48,937
is that hope is
making a comeback.
148
00:08:49,521 --> 00:08:50,355
And let me tell you something,
149
00:08:50,980 --> 00:08:54,943
for the first time
in my adult lifetime,
150
00:08:55,527 --> 00:08:57,362
I am really proud of my country.
151
00:08:58,196 --> 00:09:00,532
- I know we can make it
- I know that we can
152
00:09:01,533 --> 00:09:04,869
I know darn well that we
can Work it out, work it out...
153
00:09:08,706 --> 00:09:10,750
Thank you! Thank you!
154
00:09:12,210 --> 00:09:15,463
I know darn well that we
can Work it out, work it out
155
00:09:15,922 --> 00:09:18,633
[phones vibrating]
156
00:09:20,093 --> 00:09:21,761
- I know we can make it
- I know that we can
157
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,180
I know darn well that we
can Work it out, work it out
158
00:09:24,847 --> 00:09:26,558
There's so many
needy So many poor
159
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:30,603
But love and understanding
Is the key to the door
160
00:09:31,104 --> 00:09:33,898
[phones ringing, vibrating]
161
00:09:34,774 --> 00:09:35,733
We better get going.
162
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:36,442
[song ends]
163
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:39,654
- Mel?
- Fucking racist fucks.
164
00:09:40,238 --> 00:09:41,990
- What's going on?
- Sorry.
165
00:09:42,865 --> 00:09:43,950
They-- They twisted your words.
166
00:09:44,909 --> 00:09:46,202
- [Michelle] What? What?
- [Mel] They twisted your words.
167
00:09:46,911 --> 00:09:50,290
"I'm proud of my
country for the first time."
168
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:55,628
Shit. "I never
loved my country."
169
00:09:56,087 --> 00:09:57,213
Right.
170
00:09:57,797 --> 00:09:58,756
- Okay.
- Come on. Let's keep moving.
171
00:09:59,591 --> 00:10:00,341
[commentator] Now
that her husband
172
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:02,176
is the Democrats'
presumptive nominee,
173
00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:04,596
Michelle Obama is
expected to come under
174
00:10:05,221 --> 00:10:06,764
ever greater scrutiny
from the media.
175
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,309
She's always angry every
time she gets on television.
176
00:10:10,101 --> 00:10:13,271
I think the American people
deserve a thorough examination
177
00:10:13,771 --> 00:10:14,397
of everything about her.
178
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:16,983
The angry Black
woman First Lady?
179
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:40,715
[Young Malia] Ready?
180
00:10:41,341 --> 00:10:42,592
Ma'am, we believe it's
best you take the car.
181
00:10:43,176 --> 00:10:44,761
I wanna walk my
girls to school today.
182
00:10:45,637 --> 00:10:47,388
It's a beautiful morning,
and we need the fresh air
183
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,349
and a break from all
of this. Right, girls?
184
00:10:49,974 --> 00:10:51,476
- [Young Sasha] Yeah.
- [Young Malia] Yes.
185
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:53,811
- [reporter 1] Michelle!
- [reporter 2] Michelle!
186
00:10:54,771 --> 00:10:56,439
[reporter 1] Michelle, do you
have any terrorist affiliations?
187
00:10:56,981 --> 00:10:58,441
Do you hate America
or Americans?
188
00:10:59,108 --> 00:11:01,152
[reporter 3] Why are you
not proud to be an American?
189
00:11:01,653 --> 00:11:02,654
[reporters clamoring]
190
00:11:03,321 --> 00:11:04,739
What do you think about
your father running for office?
191
00:11:05,657 --> 00:11:07,241
How is the campaign
impacting your children's lives?
192
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,327
[reporter 4] Just one
more question. Did any--
193
00:11:09,702 --> 00:11:11,120
[clamoring]
194
00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:16,501
I will not respond
to these lies,
195
00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:22,090
nor will I stand for you
bringing my girls into all this.
196
00:11:22,674 --> 00:11:24,133
That's what we're not gonna do.
197
00:11:24,676 --> 00:11:27,679
But I will say this.
198
00:11:28,304 --> 00:11:31,641
I am genuinely proud
of all the excitement
199
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:34,936
building around
Barack's campaign.
200
00:11:35,353 --> 00:11:36,854
It makes me hopeful.
201
00:11:37,855 --> 00:11:42,318
People of all shades
and-- and ages
202
00:11:42,902 --> 00:11:47,407
and-- and creeds
all working together.
203
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:49,409
Now, if you don't mind,
204
00:11:50,034 --> 00:11:52,870
I'm gonna walk my
daughters to school.
205
00:11:55,707 --> 00:11:57,041
Come on, girls.
206
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:06,926
[no audible dialogue]
207
00:12:29,282 --> 00:12:29,991
[Eleanor] Why, thank you.
208
00:12:30,867 --> 00:12:32,076
- [doorman] Ma'am.
- [Earl] Mrs. Roosevelt.
209
00:12:32,243 --> 00:12:33,286
Earl!
210
00:12:33,911 --> 00:12:34,704
I'll be escorting you
to the White House.
211
00:12:35,413 --> 00:12:39,751
Yes, I think I'm going
to take the long way.
212
00:12:40,543 --> 00:12:41,753
Clear the cobwebs.
213
00:12:42,253 --> 00:12:43,379
[Malvina] Don't ask.
214
00:12:44,088 --> 00:12:45,173
Mrs. Roosevelt, ma'am,
215
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,800
I must insist you get in the
car. It's for your own safety.
216
00:12:48,468 --> 00:12:51,637
No one wants to hurt me.
I'm not important enough.
217
00:12:52,263 --> 00:12:53,347
[Malvina] Oh, I
don't know, Mrs. R.
218
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:56,809
I might hurt you if
you keep it up like this.
219
00:13:00,813 --> 00:13:04,817
Oh. Oh, that's wonderful.
220
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,113
Hello. What's your name?
221
00:13:09,489 --> 00:13:11,115
- I'm Eleanor.
- Oh, no.
222
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:12,116
You're, uh--
223
00:13:12,617 --> 00:13:13,618
Eleanor. Eleanor Roosevelt.
224
00:13:14,243 --> 00:13:17,079
So nice to meet you.
What's your name?
225
00:13:17,246 --> 00:13:18,039
John.
226
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:19,707
- Hello, John.
- Mrs. R., we should really--
227
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,211
[Eleanor] That is one hardy
handshake. What work do you do?
228
00:13:23,795 --> 00:13:26,964
I don't do any work. I'm busted.
229
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:27,882
Of course.
230
00:13:28,508 --> 00:13:32,428
I'm-- I'm so sorry.
What work did you do?
231
00:13:33,137 --> 00:13:35,515
[John] I forged steel. Built
skyscrapers in New York.
232
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:39,227
[Eleanor] Oh, what
a wonderful skill.
233
00:13:39,977 --> 00:13:41,354
You must be so proud.
234
00:13:42,355 --> 00:13:45,817
Well, you're a part
of history, John.
235
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:48,194
Such a pleasure to meet you.
236
00:13:49,278 --> 00:13:50,154
And you, all of you.
237
00:13:51,113 --> 00:13:52,615
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am.
238
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:54,575
[Eleanor] Oh, I
do like your hat.
239
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:57,870
-Oh, that's very nice.
- [man] Thank you though!
240
00:13:59,497 --> 00:14:00,832
[chuckles]
241
00:14:07,463 --> 00:14:08,673
- [Lou] There you are.
- [Eleanor] So sorry.
242
00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:10,716
I feared you weren't coming.
243
00:14:12,009 --> 00:14:13,803
Well, it's a pleasure
to see you, Eleanor.
244
00:14:14,387 --> 00:14:16,722
And you too, Lou.
Shall we make a start?
245
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:19,225
I thought we'd have
tea and a light breakfast
246
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:20,601
before I give you the tour.
247
00:14:21,185 --> 00:14:24,063
Of course. That would be lovely.
248
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,989
I'm sure you're excited to
begin the decorating process.
249
00:14:33,906 --> 00:14:36,576
Oh, yes. Mrs.
Roosevelt certainly is.
250
00:14:37,201 --> 00:14:39,912
You can't go wrong
with an oriental silk.
251
00:14:40,413 --> 00:14:42,498
No, you most certainly cannot.
252
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,583
[whispering] Sorry.
253
00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:47,086
And this is the master bedroom.
254
00:14:51,173 --> 00:14:53,885
That door over there
is your dressing room.
255
00:14:54,385 --> 00:14:55,261
I used it as my study,
256
00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:59,891
but they always called it
the dressing room regardless.
257
00:15:01,225 --> 00:15:04,061
The Wilsons used it
as a private dining room.
258
00:15:13,571 --> 00:15:15,281
What on Earth?
259
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:29,170
Nine presidents
brought their slaves here.
260
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:31,339
I never knew...
261
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:35,343
It wasn't recorded how many
of them required their slaves
262
00:15:35,927 --> 00:15:38,596
to have access
to their bedrooms.
263
00:15:48,272 --> 00:15:49,273
[Eleanor] Well, I hope
you're making me sound
264
00:15:49,774 --> 00:15:51,442
interesting and intelligent.
265
00:15:52,068 --> 00:15:55,321
- And possibly even fascinating.
- Oh!
266
00:15:56,113 --> 00:15:57,657
I'll do what I can.
267
00:16:00,743 --> 00:16:01,577
Can I ask you something
268
00:16:02,119 --> 00:16:04,455
- Of course. Always.
- off the record?
269
00:16:05,581 --> 00:16:10,294
How do you really feel
about being First Lady?
270
00:16:11,587 --> 00:16:13,005
Oh.
271
00:16:14,632 --> 00:16:16,092
Well...
272
00:16:17,301 --> 00:16:19,720
I'm not thrilled about the fact
273
00:16:20,429 --> 00:16:25,226
that my title refers to my
sex rather than my skills.
274
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:27,061
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
275
00:16:27,979 --> 00:16:31,315
Does sound like a crude term
a man might use for his ex-wife.
276
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,776
[chuckles]
277
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:37,780
And it's recently been
made very clear to me
278
00:16:38,489 --> 00:16:42,743
that I'm to smile, nod, and
gaze adoringly at Franklin
279
00:16:43,452 --> 00:16:46,414
every time we happen to
be in the same room together.
280
00:16:46,539 --> 00:16:48,416
Mmm...
281
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,501
Well, what does that look like?
282
00:16:50,835 --> 00:16:53,462
Oh. Well...
283
00:16:54,797 --> 00:16:57,299
[laughs] That's awful.
284
00:17:02,346 --> 00:17:04,181
Oh, that's my daughter Anna.
285
00:17:05,016 --> 00:17:07,059
She's just gone
through a divorce.
286
00:17:08,019 --> 00:17:09,478
Off the record.
287
00:17:10,354 --> 00:17:11,689
It was the right thing to do,
288
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:15,693
but her grandmother
is apoplectic.
289
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:19,363
So, she's a
Progressive like you?
290
00:17:19,739 --> 00:17:23,075
Yes, I suppose she is.
291
00:17:24,035 --> 00:17:26,037
Good for her.
292
00:17:27,538 --> 00:17:28,748
Well, thank you, Hick.
293
00:17:29,707 --> 00:17:33,335
[sighs] Always. Now get to it.
294
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:39,592
[Anna] Hello!
295
00:17:40,217 --> 00:17:42,011
- Hello, darling. How are you?
- I'm good.
296
00:17:42,553 --> 00:17:44,180
Sis, come say hello.
297
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:46,891
Little Anna. [blows raspberry]
298
00:17:47,391 --> 00:17:48,642
Oh, Louis. [blows raspberry]
299
00:17:49,101 --> 00:17:50,269
Look who's growing.
300
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:51,812
How is the speech coming along?
301
00:17:52,396 --> 00:17:53,439
The President would
like your thoughts.
302
00:17:54,398 --> 00:17:56,317
Well, Sis and I are going to
grab sundaes at the restaurant.
303
00:17:57,234 --> 00:18:00,863
We were wondering if you could
come but seems like a busy one.
304
00:18:01,363 --> 00:18:02,281
Oh, it's a busy one.
305
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:04,366
Well, you'll have to
get a scoop on me.
306
00:18:05,242 --> 00:18:06,577
All right, more for us.
Let's go, chickadee.
307
00:18:07,078 --> 00:18:09,413
- Have fun.
- Bye. Bye.
308
00:18:11,082 --> 00:18:13,125
He asked for me himself?
309
00:18:13,542 --> 00:18:14,752
Almost.
310
00:18:15,795 --> 00:18:17,588
All right.
311
00:18:31,435 --> 00:18:33,145
[door opens]
312
00:18:36,107 --> 00:18:37,566
[door closes]
313
00:18:38,818 --> 00:18:40,152
Hello, Missus.
314
00:18:44,406 --> 00:18:46,826
Have you been calling?
I was out for meetings.
315
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:49,495
No, no. I've been wrapped up.
316
00:18:51,288 --> 00:18:53,165
What do you have so far?
317
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:56,669
A slippery fish.
318
00:18:56,961 --> 00:18:59,255
Mm-mmm. May I?
319
00:18:59,964 --> 00:19:01,841
No, it's not ready yet.
320
00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:06,887
Is it true that I am not to have
321
00:19:07,471 --> 00:19:09,682
a proper job in
your administration?
322
00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:11,600
Will you stop
listening to Louis?
323
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:14,270
Well, give me
something else to hear.
324
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,646
Fine.
325
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:21,318
I am not entirely comfortable.
326
00:19:22,153 --> 00:19:23,654
Nobody else is getting
two appointments.
327
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:26,866
I'm not asking for
two appointments.
328
00:19:31,328 --> 00:19:31,912
I'll think about it.
329
00:19:32,496 --> 00:19:33,873
Don't push me off, Franklin.
330
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:38,377
I am your wife, not
one of your girlfriends.
331
00:19:44,884 --> 00:19:45,926
And I need to work.
332
00:19:46,468 --> 00:19:47,386
- You know that.
- [door opens]
333
00:19:48,179 --> 00:19:49,680
You have made
yourself abundantly clear.
334
00:19:50,306 --> 00:19:53,184
- You will work.
- [people chattering]
335
00:19:53,684 --> 00:19:54,560
[Franklin] What is it?
336
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:58,898
Sir, if you're not busy, we'd
better get back to the speech.
337
00:19:59,690 --> 00:20:02,109
Not busy at all, boys.
Come on. Let's get back to it.
338
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:05,738
Let's start with this
wording right here.
339
00:20:06,405 --> 00:20:07,990
"Attempts by the
previous administration
340
00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:10,826
were lost on tired
and old tradition,
341
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:12,036
leaving you fearful."
342
00:20:12,703 --> 00:20:14,205
Now, I like the idea
of that, the sentiment,
343
00:20:14,705 --> 00:20:16,081
but it's lacking punch.
344
00:20:16,582 --> 00:20:18,709
It-- It feels passive this way.
345
00:20:37,436 --> 00:20:41,607
[clicks tongue,
exhales] Oh, yeah.
346
00:20:49,531 --> 00:20:51,909
Could someone please
come collect something
347
00:20:52,576 --> 00:20:54,954
and take it to the
president-elect?
348
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:03,754
"Nothing is so
much to be feared...
349
00:21:05,256 --> 00:21:06,590
as fear".
350
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:12,304
[crowd cheering]
351
00:21:13,264 --> 00:21:16,725
[Franklin] I am certain that
my fellow Americans expect
352
00:21:17,101 --> 00:21:18,018
that on my induction,
353
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:21,021
this is preeminently the
time to speak the truth.
354
00:21:21,605 --> 00:21:24,817
The whole truth,
frankly and boldly.
355
00:21:25,442 --> 00:21:26,402
Nor need we shrink
356
00:21:27,278 --> 00:21:31,240
from honestly facing
conditions in our country today.
357
00:21:31,949 --> 00:21:35,911
This great nation will
endure as it has endured.
358
00:21:36,787 --> 00:21:39,581
We'll revive and we'll prosper.
359
00:21:39,957 --> 00:21:42,293
[applause, cheering]
360
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:51,010
So, first of all,
361
00:21:52,136 --> 00:21:54,138
let me assert my firm belief
362
00:21:54,847 --> 00:21:58,934
that the only thing we
have to fear is fear itself.
363
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:02,813
- [applause, cheering]
- Oh, yes.
364
00:22:06,817 --> 00:22:09,403
May God protect each
and every one of you
365
00:22:09,945 --> 00:22:12,156
and guide me in the coming days.
366
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:13,032
Thank you.
367
00:22:13,615 --> 00:22:15,784
- [applause, cheering]
- Come.
368
00:22:18,329 --> 00:22:21,790
Oh, that was a very
powerful speech, wasn't it?
369
00:22:22,333 --> 00:22:23,208
Mmm, yes, it was brilliant.
370
00:22:24,001 --> 00:22:28,088
Yes, Franklin always knows
just the right thing to say.
371
00:22:28,672 --> 00:22:30,049
It's one of his many gifts.
372
00:22:30,674 --> 00:22:32,092
One of the great
pleasures of marriage
373
00:22:32,718 --> 00:22:35,387
is savoring your
husband's finest moments.
374
00:22:36,013 --> 00:22:38,098
Second only to savoring
that of your sons.
375
00:22:38,557 --> 00:22:39,850
[Franklin] Thank you!
376
00:22:40,809 --> 00:22:42,061
Yes.
377
00:22:43,854 --> 00:22:46,899
[Eleanor] I don't
believe I've ever smiled
378
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:49,735
for so many hours in a row.
379
00:22:50,194 --> 00:22:51,653
[music plays on record player]
380
00:22:51,820 --> 00:22:52,571
[groans]
381
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:56,950
I do think they
should issue warnings.
382
00:22:57,576 --> 00:23:01,080
Inauguration festivities
may cause frozen face.
383
00:23:01,497 --> 00:23:02,956
[both chuckle]
384
00:23:03,665 --> 00:23:06,752
Is it stuck? Am I doomed
to be a grinning fool?
385
00:23:07,711 --> 00:23:11,423
You are the farthest thing
from a fool I have ever known.
386
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:16,929
I think your speech went
over very well, Franklin.
387
00:23:17,554 --> 00:23:19,765
- Thanks to you.
- Oh, don't be silly.
388
00:23:21,725 --> 00:23:26,397
You really are so good at
conveying hope, you know.
389
00:23:28,023 --> 00:23:30,234
You think you've
always been that way?
390
00:23:31,068 --> 00:23:34,905
My mother says even as a
child I had a soothing presence.
391
00:23:35,406 --> 00:23:36,365
Oh, soothing is one thing.
392
00:23:37,241 --> 00:23:41,328
It's quite another to lead a
country out of its darkest hour.
393
00:23:42,204 --> 00:23:45,124
Well, you were instrumental
in helping crafting my message.
394
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:47,751
So I'm grateful for you.
395
00:23:49,086 --> 00:23:50,921
We make a good team.
396
00:23:53,757 --> 00:23:54,925
Yes, we do.
397
00:23:58,137 --> 00:23:59,638
Should we go to bed?
398
00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:05,769
Oh, I cannot think of
anything I'd like to do more.
399
00:24:09,481 --> 00:24:12,568
- Good night, Franklin.
- [chuckles]
400
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:15,946
[chuckles] Sweet dreams.
401
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:21,785
Congratulations! You
so deserve it. [giggles]
402
00:24:22,953 --> 00:24:23,912
Here we are!
403
00:24:24,288 --> 00:24:26,665
Yes. Here we are indeed.
404
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:28,208
[Eleanor] Oh! Hello.
What's your name?
405
00:24:28,792 --> 00:24:31,003
- Charles.
- Charles, I'm Eleanor.
406
00:24:31,670 --> 00:24:33,881
I'll be seeing quite
a lot of you I think.
407
00:24:34,465 --> 00:24:35,841
[music plays on record player]
408
00:24:38,093 --> 00:24:39,553
[Charles] More champagne, sir?
409
00:24:40,971 --> 00:24:43,724
I think we should move over
to the whiskey. Don't you?
410
00:24:44,016 --> 00:24:45,476
Very well, sir.
411
00:24:57,362 --> 00:24:59,531
[distant police siren blaring]
412
00:25:06,705 --> 00:25:08,874
[blaring continues]
413
00:25:19,843 --> 00:25:21,220
Bob, a lot has been
written about the fact
414
00:25:21,845 --> 00:25:23,639
that president-elect
Obama is looking
415
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,061
into ways to reverse various
Bush administration policies.
416
00:25:29,728 --> 00:25:31,522
Is there danger in
doing that too quickly?
417
00:25:32,147 --> 00:25:33,732
- They're asleep.
- [news reporters continue]
418
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:38,153
Oh. I don't wanna
keep missing bedtime.
419
00:25:38,862 --> 00:25:40,155
- ...these are things the, uh,
- [Michelle] Mmm.
420
00:25:40,822 --> 00:25:43,200
president has, uh,
done by executive order,
421
00:25:43,825 --> 00:25:45,077
and they can be,
uh, easily undone.
422
00:25:45,744 --> 00:25:47,162
I think that's
some of the first--
423
00:25:47,538 --> 00:25:48,705
[clicks]
424
00:25:50,541 --> 00:25:53,377
In four years, I don't want
to look back and think,
425
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:57,839
"What did I become
living in that house?"
426
00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:03,428
Well, you know, in--
in eight years, uh,
427
00:26:04,096 --> 00:26:08,016
I think you are still gonna
be that bougie lawyer
428
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:10,185
with that Audi [laughs]
429
00:26:10,894 --> 00:26:13,897
and that fucking attitude
that I fell in love with.
430
00:26:14,565 --> 00:26:16,275
[both laughing]
431
00:26:17,067 --> 00:26:21,280
- South Side forever! [chuckles]
- That's right. Mm-hmm.
432
00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:25,742
Mmm. We need a road map, Barack.
433
00:26:26,577 --> 00:26:27,661
I will not miss the
girls growing up.
434
00:26:28,287 --> 00:26:32,040
Mmm, no. Me neither.
We won't let that happen.
435
00:26:32,624 --> 00:26:34,710
- Mm-hmm.
- All right? I promise you.
436
00:26:35,085 --> 00:26:36,044
Mmm.
437
00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:39,298
You are gonna be
a dope First Lady.
438
00:26:39,881 --> 00:26:43,135
Michelle Obama née Robinson
439
00:26:43,719 --> 00:26:46,054
has never failed
a test. [laughs]
440
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:47,556
- You're right.
- That's right.
441
00:26:48,223 --> 00:26:50,642
- I got this. [hums]
- Yeah, you do. Shake it girl!
442
00:26:51,602 --> 00:26:54,479
What I don't got is all those
clothes you got on the floor,
443
00:26:55,105 --> 00:26:57,983
Barack Obama, President
of the United Sta--
444
00:26:58,942 --> 00:27:00,944
- Pick up your clothes!
- I got it. I got it. I got you.
445
00:27:01,153 --> 00:27:02,195
Mm-hmm.
446
00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:03,572
[Michelle] Mmm.
447
00:27:04,114 --> 00:27:04,823
[Barack] I got this.
448
00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:07,159
- [Michelle] Clothes all over.
- [Barack laughs]
449
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:08,535
I should really have
somebody to help me
450
00:27:09,161 --> 00:27:10,537
- tidy this thing up, right?
- [Michelle] Mmm.
451
00:27:11,121 --> 00:27:13,206
I got nuclear codes
to think about.
452
00:27:13,332 --> 00:27:14,833
Mmm.
453
00:27:22,924 --> 00:27:23,467
You okay?
454
00:27:24,134 --> 00:27:26,428
- How do we feel about Gwen?
- [laughs]
455
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:29,181
- Morning, Gwen. Hi.
- Hi, Gwen.
456
00:27:29,806 --> 00:27:32,017
- [people chattering]
- Madam First Lady.
457
00:27:32,267 --> 00:27:34,353
[applause]
458
00:27:36,313 --> 00:27:37,397
We're already behind schedule.
459
00:27:38,148 --> 00:27:40,400
I had to drop the girls off
for their first day at school.
460
00:27:40,984 --> 00:27:42,277
[Gwen] Oh! I thought
Mrs. Robinson
461
00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:43,570
and Secret Service
were handling that.
462
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:46,156
My daughters are not
a matter to be handled.
463
00:27:46,782 --> 00:27:48,325
I had to ensure
that they settled in.
464
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:49,493
Of course.
465
00:27:50,118 --> 00:27:52,037
So, we want to hit
the ground running.
466
00:27:52,496 --> 00:27:53,372
And with Rahm's approval,
467
00:27:54,122 --> 00:27:56,041
my team and I have come
up with several ideas for you.
468
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:58,377
Rahm has approved...
469
00:27:59,211 --> 00:28:01,004
Okay. Let me hear 'em.
470
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:07,219
He feels, and we all feel, that
a White House garden project
471
00:28:07,719 --> 00:28:08,845
could be a great opportunity
472
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,848
for people to see
a new side of you.
473
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:14,935
The First Lady
tending the garden,
474
00:28:15,852 --> 00:28:18,397
growing fruits and
vegetables with local kids.
475
00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:20,607
Great photo ops.
476
00:28:21,024 --> 00:28:21,525
Good news, team.
477
00:28:22,150 --> 00:28:23,193
The men in the West
Wing have given us
478
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:25,237
the green light to
plant some carrots.
479
00:28:25,696 --> 00:28:26,446
[all chuckling]
480
00:28:27,072 --> 00:28:28,365
Uh, that's not-- that's
not what I meant.
481
00:28:29,032 --> 00:28:31,201
Um, all right. This,
uh, this is for you.
482
00:28:33,161 --> 00:28:34,663
Mrs. Ford won't be able
to attend the inauguration.
483
00:28:35,372 --> 00:28:38,208
She's almost 90, but
she wanted to write to you.
484
00:28:38,709 --> 00:28:40,919
Betty Ford wrote me a letter.
485
00:28:41,336 --> 00:28:42,212
Wow.
486
00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:43,547
[exhales]
487
00:28:44,214 --> 00:28:45,674
[Gwen] We have a fitting
for your inauguration gown.
488
00:28:46,383 --> 00:28:49,720
And this is great, Vogue
has offered a feature
489
00:28:50,345 --> 00:28:52,389
with Annie Leibovitz
to shoot the cover.
490
00:28:52,848 --> 00:28:53,682
Amazing, right?
491
00:28:54,391 --> 00:28:58,103
Sure. Excellent opportunity
to talk about rutabagas.
492
00:28:58,437 --> 00:28:59,980
[all chuckling]
493
00:29:00,731 --> 00:29:01,523
What's a rutabaga?
494
00:29:02,232 --> 00:29:04,234
- A turnip, I believe.
- [Michelle] Come on, Gwen.
495
00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:05,402
I spoke throughout the campaign
496
00:29:05,944 --> 00:29:06,903
about civic duty,
unemployment and--
497
00:29:07,863 --> 00:29:10,574
And you were incredible. And
now we're in the White House.
498
00:29:11,199 --> 00:29:13,201
And the team in the
West Wing wanna shape
499
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:14,494
and help you grow
into your new role.
500
00:29:15,203 --> 00:29:17,372
I'm a lawyer and an
expert in health care.
501
00:29:18,081 --> 00:29:19,624
They wanna turn me into
a Black Martha Stewart?
502
00:29:20,292 --> 00:29:22,335
I meant no disrespect,
but Rahm feels that--
503
00:29:22,919 --> 00:29:24,546
You know, I'm looking forward
504
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:26,506
to hearing all about
Rahm's feelings,
505
00:29:27,090 --> 00:29:27,924
so why don't you let him know
506
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:29,843
that I would like
some time with him.
507
00:29:30,469 --> 00:29:34,473
- [Gwen chuckles] I'll do that.
- Okay. Okay.
508
00:29:36,391 --> 00:29:39,853
We have a very important meeting
coming up next Tuesday that is--
509
00:29:40,437 --> 00:29:41,480
[Betty narrates]
Dear Mrs. Obama,
510
00:29:42,105 --> 00:29:45,484
you probably feel so
overwhelmed today.
511
00:29:46,109 --> 00:29:49,279
You can't imagine
how unprepared I felt.
512
00:29:49,780 --> 00:29:51,490
But the job will find you.
513
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:53,617
It has a way of doing that.
514
00:29:54,284 --> 00:29:56,453
You are forever a
part of history now
515
00:29:57,078 --> 00:29:59,581
but will always
be one of a kind.
516
00:30:00,457 --> 00:30:02,709
Today, you'll probably feel
like you have nothing in common
517
00:30:03,502 --> 00:30:06,588
with all of the women who
were First Ladies before you.
518
00:30:07,255 --> 00:30:10,634
Trust me when I say
we all felt that way.
519
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:12,928
[Gerald] Gonna miss this place.
520
00:30:21,978 --> 00:30:23,230
We'll have fun in our new house.
521
00:30:23,438 --> 00:30:24,439
Mm-hmm.
522
00:30:25,023 --> 00:30:25,899
Sleeping in our
separate bedrooms,
523
00:30:26,525 --> 00:30:29,861
like a proper presidential
husband and his wife.
524
00:30:30,445 --> 00:30:31,404
[Gerald] That's not happening.
525
00:30:31,863 --> 00:30:32,697
Better not be.
526
00:30:33,323 --> 00:30:35,408
Though, after this week,
I might change my mind.
527
00:30:35,826 --> 00:30:37,285
Don't you dare.
528
00:30:39,454 --> 00:30:42,123
You're gonna make
a terrific First Lady.
529
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:45,544
[phone ringing]
530
00:30:54,886 --> 00:30:56,680
Ford residence. This is Betty.
531
00:30:57,180 --> 00:30:58,139
[woman] Madam First Lady?
532
00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:03,311
No, uh-- Y-Yes, yes. I
mean, that's me. [chuckles]
533
00:31:04,187 --> 00:31:05,730
My name is Debbie Winthrop.
534
00:31:06,356 --> 00:31:08,900
I was Mrs. Nixon's
social secretary.
535
00:31:09,484 --> 00:31:11,695
Of course. Yes, I remember you.
536
00:31:12,237 --> 00:31:14,281
We were wondering
what you wanted to do
537
00:31:14,739 --> 00:31:16,575
for the upcoming State Dinner.
538
00:31:17,158 --> 00:31:17,909
The what?
539
00:31:18,869 --> 00:31:22,998
Uh, King Hussein of Jordan
is coming in four days, ma'am.
540
00:31:25,375 --> 00:31:28,587
I see. I see.
541
00:31:29,212 --> 00:31:32,299
And the idea is he'll
want something to eat
542
00:31:32,757 --> 00:31:34,885
after that long trip. [chuckles]
543
00:31:35,719 --> 00:31:37,053
And the queen, ma'am.
544
00:31:38,555 --> 00:31:40,056
Of course.
545
00:31:41,892 --> 00:31:43,602
Uh, well...
546
00:31:45,061 --> 00:31:46,688
I wish someone would've
told me about this.
547
00:31:47,397 --> 00:31:51,610
We told Pat Nixon, ma'am.
The former First Lady.
548
00:31:52,110 --> 00:31:54,112
Yes, I know who Pat Nixon is.
549
00:31:54,529 --> 00:31:55,280
Of course.
550
00:31:55,739 --> 00:31:56,531
Let me give it some thought,
551
00:31:57,115 --> 00:32:00,160
and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can.
552
00:32:01,202 --> 00:32:02,746
Okay. Thank you
very much, ma'am.
553
00:32:03,246 --> 00:32:05,790
Okay. Thank you for calling.
554
00:32:06,249 --> 00:32:07,292
[Debbie] Goodbye.
555
00:32:10,295 --> 00:32:12,047
[sighs]
556
00:32:17,218 --> 00:32:18,970
I'll move into the White House.
557
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:21,389
I'll do the best I can.
558
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:26,519
And if they don't like it,
then they can kick me out,
559
00:32:27,145 --> 00:32:29,397
but they can't make
me somebody I'm not.
560
00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:31,399
[applause from TV]
561
00:32:34,235 --> 00:32:35,737
She's totally
unsuited for the role.
562
00:32:36,321 --> 00:32:38,615
Well, she seems
very confident to me.
563
00:32:39,115 --> 00:32:40,283
That's the problem.
564
00:32:41,284 --> 00:32:42,243
I don't wanna get
into details, but, um,
565
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:44,788
she's had her fair share
of personal struggles.
566
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:46,414
We all know the lights in here,
567
00:32:47,332 --> 00:32:49,042
they tend to flush that sort
of thing right out into the open,
568
00:32:49,584 --> 00:32:50,669
so that's where you come in.
569
00:32:51,461 --> 00:32:55,298
We want you to stay on. Keep
the East Wing running smoothly.
570
00:32:55,757 --> 00:32:56,758
Of course. That's my job.
571
00:32:57,634 --> 00:32:59,386
[Donald] But we're counting on
you to guide the First Lady into
572
00:33:00,303 --> 00:33:03,807
taking a more reserved Pat-
Nixon-type approach to things.
573
00:33:04,349 --> 00:33:06,267
Oh, show her the art of facade.
574
00:33:06,643 --> 00:33:07,811
Encourage discretion.
575
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:11,773
Have you met the
First Lady? [chuckles]
576
00:33:12,482 --> 00:33:15,610
You can start by limiting,
preferably canceling,
577
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:17,487
any upcoming
events and gatherings,
578
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:18,738
starting with the State Dinner.
579
00:33:19,364 --> 00:33:20,532
Well, I already told
her that was happening.
580
00:33:21,157 --> 00:33:22,534
We have a meeting
about it, uh, shortly.
581
00:33:23,201 --> 00:33:25,662
I know you can steer
her towards canceling.
582
00:33:26,371 --> 00:33:27,163
And if I can't?
583
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:31,209
We're confident. You can
convince her woman-to-woman.
584
00:33:33,211 --> 00:33:37,674
You know, Mrs. Ford's
good nature and candor
585
00:33:38,383 --> 00:33:40,719
might be just the thing the
White House needs right now.
586
00:33:41,302 --> 00:33:42,178
She really seems quite capable.
587
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:44,055
Debbie. I know
that you understand
588
00:33:44,639 --> 00:33:45,598
how vitally important it is
589
00:33:46,224 --> 00:33:47,892
that this party hold the
reigns of this country.
590
00:33:48,518 --> 00:33:49,477
In less than two
years, the president's
591
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:50,937
gonna have to
run for his office.
592
00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:54,024
And so, the smaller
that Mrs. Ford's role is
593
00:33:54,733 --> 00:33:58,319
and the less that we hear
about her thoughts, opinions--
594
00:33:58,695 --> 00:34:01,364
The less noise she makes.
595
00:34:02,365 --> 00:34:03,408
Thank you.
596
00:34:06,536 --> 00:34:07,871
- [person] Madam First Lady.
- Good morning.
597
00:34:08,496 --> 00:34:09,581
Welcome to the
White House, ma'am.
598
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:11,166
- Madam First Lady.
- Welcome Madam First Lady.
599
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:13,793
Good morning, Donald. I'm
so, so sorry I'm late, Debbie.
600
00:34:14,669 --> 00:34:16,880
- I tend to run a little behind.
- Let me show you to your office.
601
00:34:17,547 --> 00:34:20,675
Donald, so nice of you to
greet me on my first day.
602
00:34:21,259 --> 00:34:22,177
- [reporter 1] Betty Ford.
- Good morning.
603
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:23,762
You don't have to
speak with them.
604
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:24,929
What's your first day been like?
605
00:34:25,597 --> 00:34:27,057
Well, I don't know
yet. I just got here.
606
00:34:27,682 --> 00:34:29,768
But it's all very
exciting, isn't it?
607
00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:31,019
Just keep walking, ma'am.
608
00:34:31,728 --> 00:34:32,604
What's your opinion on
whether your husband
609
00:34:33,104 --> 00:34:33,813
will pardon President Nixon?
610
00:34:34,397 --> 00:34:35,565
"No comment." "No
comment" is fine.
611
00:34:36,107 --> 00:34:38,860
I know my husband,
or the president,
612
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:40,904
is eager to move forward
613
00:34:41,404 --> 00:34:42,739
with his new administration,
614
00:34:43,573 --> 00:34:47,911
and which I'm sure will be
very different from the last.
615
00:34:48,411 --> 00:34:49,245
Right this way, ma'am.
616
00:34:49,788 --> 00:34:50,830
Your office is
through these doors.
617
00:34:51,289 --> 00:34:51,831
[reporter 2] Mrs. Ford--
618
00:34:52,415 --> 00:34:53,166
[reporter 1] One last question.
619
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,460
Do you'll know if he'll
pardon or convict?
620
00:34:56,711 --> 00:35:01,091
I'm confident the president
will do the right thing.
621
00:35:01,591 --> 00:35:02,967
Now, if you'll excuse me.
622
00:35:03,802 --> 00:35:05,637
- Thanks, ladies and gentlemen.
- [reporter 3] One more question.
623
00:35:06,262 --> 00:35:08,139
[reporters] Thank you,
Mr. Rumsfeld. Thank you.
624
00:35:13,311 --> 00:35:15,313
- [Debbie] Here we are.
- [people chattering]
625
00:35:16,439 --> 00:35:18,399
I do apologize for
the state of the room.
626
00:35:19,275 --> 00:35:22,278
Uh, we had to turn things
around rather quickly.
627
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:23,571
Yeah.
628
00:35:24,781 --> 00:35:27,325
I suppose I have some
decorating to do. [chuckles]
629
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,870
Mm-hmm. Uh, this is
your schedule, ma'am.
630
00:35:31,287 --> 00:35:31,871
Oh.
631
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,499
I'll see you shortly
for the staff meeting.
632
00:35:34,791 --> 00:35:35,834
Oh, Debbie.
633
00:35:36,584 --> 00:35:37,961
Um, could you tell me
where my husband's office is?
634
00:35:38,628 --> 00:35:40,797
I'd love to stop
in and say hello.
635
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:42,632
The president has
a full schedule today.
636
00:35:43,299 --> 00:35:45,844
- Oh, I see. Well--
- Is there anything else?
637
00:35:46,511 --> 00:35:48,346
No. Thank you.
638
00:35:54,811 --> 00:35:56,437
[sighs]
639
00:36:41,858 --> 00:36:43,693
[people chattering]
640
00:36:45,695 --> 00:36:47,530
[door knocks]
641
00:36:51,993 --> 00:36:54,078
[muffled voices chattering]
642
00:36:54,537 --> 00:36:55,663
[door knocks]
643
00:36:56,706 --> 00:36:59,959
[Betty] Oh! Oh,
dear, I-- [chuckles]
644
00:37:00,585 --> 00:37:04,964
Oh, I hope I didn't keep
you waiting too long. I--
645
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:08,092
I'm still getting my
bearing-- I'm so sorry. I--
646
00:37:08,718 --> 00:37:11,554
As I was telling
Debbie earlier, I'm--
647
00:37:12,555 --> 00:37:14,933
- Anyway, hello.
- [staff] Hello.
648
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,936
Everyone, the First
Lady of the United States.
649
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,438
- [applause]
- [staff] Welcome.
650
00:37:21,564 --> 00:37:22,649
[staff member] So wonderful.
651
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:24,275
[applause stops]
652
00:37:26,694 --> 00:37:29,155
[Debbie] I was just
informing the staff that, uh,
653
00:37:29,864 --> 00:37:33,284
because of the unusual
and last-minute nature
654
00:37:33,785 --> 00:37:34,619
of you becoming First Lady,
655
00:37:35,578 --> 00:37:37,789
we'd probably be canceling
the upcoming State Dinner.
656
00:37:38,456 --> 00:37:40,792
Oh. I don't think
that's necessary.
657
00:37:41,292 --> 00:37:42,210
Everyone completely understands.
658
00:37:43,086 --> 00:37:46,005
Well, on the contrary, I love a
good dinner party. [chuckles]
659
00:37:46,589 --> 00:37:48,758
The bigger the
better. [chuckles]
660
00:37:49,926 --> 00:37:53,012
And if you'd like to
do what you've done
661
00:37:53,888 --> 00:37:57,642
for the Nixon's State Dinners,
that would be fine with me.
662
00:37:58,101 --> 00:38:00,687
We don't really have time
663
00:38:01,271 --> 00:38:03,523
to do what we've always done.
664
00:38:03,898 --> 00:38:05,316
Not with three days.
665
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,026
I see.
666
00:38:07,652 --> 00:38:08,903
[Debbie] Ma'am.
667
00:38:09,404 --> 00:38:11,197
If I may be so bold,
668
00:38:11,781 --> 00:38:14,117
surely the president,
surely everyone,
669
00:38:14,659 --> 00:38:17,787
would understand if
you had to postpone.
670
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:21,040
Everyone knows how
this whole situation
671
00:38:21,666 --> 00:38:24,544
has been sprung on
you, even King Hussein.
672
00:38:24,919 --> 00:38:26,004
Are you sure? It--
673
00:38:26,629 --> 00:38:29,382
It seems awfully
last minute to cancel.
674
00:38:30,008 --> 00:38:33,303
Not at all. It's completely
understandable.
675
00:38:36,973 --> 00:38:42,520
Well then, I suppose
that's what we'll do.
676
00:38:56,993 --> 00:38:59,370
[jazz playing on speaker]
677
00:39:06,544 --> 00:39:10,006
- [typing]
- [typewriter bell dings]
678
00:39:16,804 --> 00:39:18,556
[groans]
679
00:39:19,557 --> 00:39:20,433
- Oh, my gosh!
- Oh!
680
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:24,937
Betty? I'm sorry. Excuse
me, Madam First Lady.
681
00:39:25,063 --> 00:39:25,980
Nancy.
682
00:39:26,522 --> 00:39:28,066
- Yeah. Nancy Howe.
- Nancy Howe!
683
00:39:28,858 --> 00:39:31,110
The last time I saw you was
at that dreadful PTA meeting.
684
00:39:31,694 --> 00:39:33,863
And that woman
was talking about--
685
00:39:34,489 --> 00:39:35,365
- The history of education...
- [sighs]
686
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:38,493
- ...in pre-colonial Virginia.
- I thought it would never end.
687
00:39:39,077 --> 00:39:41,913
Three hours
seared into my brain.
688
00:39:42,372 --> 00:39:43,539
[chuckles]
689
00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:49,504
It's so nice to
know you're here.
690
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:53,800
An actual person
that I know and like.
691
00:39:54,092 --> 00:39:55,176
[Nancy] Yeah.
692
00:39:55,593 --> 00:39:56,594
Hmm?
693
00:39:57,428 --> 00:39:59,514
Take it. It's on the house.
694
00:40:00,056 --> 00:40:01,099
Thank you.
695
00:40:01,933 --> 00:40:04,894
Hey, how's it going? Are the
aides overwhelming you yet?
696
00:40:06,771 --> 00:40:07,730
Not yet.
697
00:40:07,897 --> 00:40:09,107
[chuckles]
698
00:40:09,774 --> 00:40:10,650
And thanks for this.
699
00:40:11,067 --> 00:40:12,527
Don't tell anyone.
700
00:40:13,903 --> 00:40:14,737
Oh.
701
00:40:15,696 --> 00:40:19,867
Uh, do you by chance know
how I get back to my office?
702
00:40:20,868 --> 00:40:22,120
I do.
703
00:40:22,912 --> 00:40:23,663
[Betty] Mm-hmm, yeah.
704
00:40:24,539 --> 00:40:29,043
It's hard to believe
that just last week
705
00:40:29,544 --> 00:40:30,795
this was Pat's office,
706
00:40:31,129 --> 00:40:32,213
and now she's...
707
00:40:32,797 --> 00:40:35,133
Helping her husband
pack for prison.
708
00:40:40,430 --> 00:40:41,389
It does seem likely, doesn't it?
709
00:40:42,098 --> 00:40:44,976
He said he wasn't a crook,
turns out he is a crook.
710
00:40:45,435 --> 00:40:46,811
Crooks go to jail.
711
00:40:49,439 --> 00:40:52,150
So what's the first First Lady
thing they have you doing?
712
00:40:52,942 --> 00:40:56,487
Well, there was a State
Dinner, but I'm canceling it.
713
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,072
What? No, you're not.
714
00:40:58,656 --> 00:41:00,992
It was supposed to
be three days from now
715
00:41:01,617 --> 00:41:04,162
and, well, my secretary
said it was fine.
716
00:41:04,787 --> 00:41:08,291
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't do that, Betty.
717
00:41:08,958 --> 00:41:11,961
No, it was actually my
secretary's idea, so...
718
00:41:12,587 --> 00:41:13,671
Well, I don't care
whose idea it was.
719
00:41:14,505 --> 00:41:16,299
This is your house.
You get to decide.
720
00:41:16,924 --> 00:41:19,260
You really think one
State Dinner matters?
721
00:41:19,969 --> 00:41:22,430
Let's see, did the
Roosevelts showing support
722
00:41:22,972 --> 00:41:25,057
for every exiled
European government
723
00:41:25,683 --> 00:41:28,019
after the Nazis took over
their homeland matter?
724
00:41:28,644 --> 00:41:30,104
How about the
Eisenhowers breaking bread
725
00:41:30,521 --> 00:41:31,481
with the Khrushchevs?
726
00:41:32,190 --> 00:41:35,234
The Nixons and the Brezhnevs
may be the only cordial moment
727
00:41:35,818 --> 00:41:37,278
of this whole Cold War we're in.
728
00:41:37,695 --> 00:41:40,364
And maybe I'm biased
729
00:41:40,990 --> 00:41:42,575
because I spout out
White House trivia
730
00:41:43,159 --> 00:41:44,285
in that gift shop all day long,
731
00:41:44,994 --> 00:41:47,538
but it seems to me like
these are the moments
732
00:41:48,122 --> 00:41:49,916
that really, truly mattered.
733
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:54,212
And they were State Dinners
that First Ladies made happen.
734
00:41:55,671 --> 00:41:58,716
You just-- You-- You can't
cancel your first State Dinner.
735
00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:02,720
This is your chance
to start making history.
736
00:42:06,349 --> 00:42:08,726
- You wanted to see me, ma'am?
- [Betty] Oh! Yes, thank you.
737
00:42:09,018 --> 00:42:10,228
Please come in.
738
00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:17,860
How do you like what
I've done with the place?
739
00:42:21,197 --> 00:42:22,031
Um.
740
00:42:22,573 --> 00:42:23,950
It's a joke, Debbie.
741
00:42:24,909 --> 00:42:25,952
- [chuckles]
- About the State Dinner,
742
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:29,872
you'll be happy to know
that I've decided not to cancel.
743
00:42:31,999 --> 00:42:34,043
- What?
- I've come up with a plan
744
00:42:34,669 --> 00:42:37,088
I think you'll agree
is very doable.
745
00:42:37,713 --> 00:42:39,340
Marrying some of
Mrs. Nixon's traditions
746
00:42:40,049 --> 00:42:45,263
with my less formal,
but no less festive, ideas.
747
00:42:49,058 --> 00:42:52,061
Oh... barbecue.
748
00:42:52,603 --> 00:42:54,772
[chuckling] Doesn't
that sound fun?
749
00:42:55,690 --> 00:42:57,733
Be sure to let everyone know
750
00:42:58,276 --> 00:43:00,236
the president is
counting on this.
751
00:43:00,861 --> 00:43:03,281
He's even more
excited than I am.
752
00:43:05,616 --> 00:43:06,951
Thank you, Debbie.
753
00:43:09,245 --> 00:43:10,788
Thank you, ma'am.
754
00:43:18,296 --> 00:43:20,131
[John Roberts] Good morning.
Thanks for being with us.
755
00:43:20,631 --> 00:43:21,299
Monday, the 12th of January.
756
00:43:21,924 --> 00:43:22,800
Just eight days
until the inauguration,
757
00:43:23,634 --> 00:43:24,302
the new administration,
new president.
758
00:43:24,969 --> 00:43:25,803
Everybody's trying
to get an angle here.
759
00:43:26,637 --> 00:43:28,598
Absolutely. A lot
going on this morning.
760
00:43:32,602 --> 00:43:33,352
- Can I get you anything else?
- No.
761
00:43:33,936 --> 00:43:35,771
- We're fine, thank you.
- Okay.
762
00:43:38,232 --> 00:43:39,400
- Too bridal?
- No.
763
00:43:40,276 --> 00:43:42,069
No. I see "hope" and "glory."
764
00:43:42,653 --> 00:43:43,696
- I see "elegance..."
- [chuckles]
765
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,364
..."timeless" and "victorious."
766
00:43:45,948 --> 00:43:48,618
[chuckles] Oh,
Jason is a genius,
767
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,287
and you look exquisite.
768
00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:52,955
- I love you, Mel.
- [knocking]
769
00:43:53,331 --> 00:43:55,666
I love you too. Come in.
770
00:43:57,168 --> 00:43:58,085
[both gasp]
771
00:43:58,669 --> 00:44:01,005
- Valerie, you're here.
- [chuckles]
772
00:44:01,672 --> 00:44:02,340
Girl, that dress...
773
00:44:02,965 --> 00:44:04,300
- [stylist] Careful, Mrs. Obama.
- Okay.
774
00:44:04,967 --> 00:44:07,303
- [Valerie chuckles]
- [Michelle moans]
775
00:44:08,471 --> 00:44:10,973
- Hmm? Hmm?
- Wow.
776
00:44:12,475 --> 00:44:13,476
Can we talk for a minute?
777
00:44:14,101 --> 00:44:15,227
Could you all give
us a few minutes?
778
00:44:15,936 --> 00:44:18,147
- [Mel] Yeah, sure.
- I promise I'll be careful.
779
00:44:19,148 --> 00:44:21,692
Thanks, ladies. [sighs]
780
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,990
[both chuckling]
781
00:44:28,866 --> 00:44:30,868
- So beautiful.
- Oh.
782
00:44:31,702 --> 00:44:33,496
But that's not why you're here.
783
00:44:33,996 --> 00:44:35,956
Rahm thought we should talk.
784
00:44:36,957 --> 00:44:39,168
Rahm wants. Rahm
feels. Rahm thought.
785
00:44:39,669 --> 00:44:40,544
He just simply suggested
786
00:44:41,337 --> 00:44:43,714
that I be the liaison between
the East Wing and the West.
787
00:44:44,340 --> 00:44:46,550
Great. So how do I
get Rahm to understand
788
00:44:47,176 --> 00:44:48,636
that I'm not here to
be a glorified hostess?
789
00:44:49,345 --> 00:44:53,182
Michelle, we want to ease
you into complex areas.
790
00:44:53,724 --> 00:44:55,101
Val? Hello?
791
00:44:55,518 --> 00:44:56,602
- Hello?
- [chuckles]
792
00:44:57,186 --> 00:44:58,229
You sound just
like them right now.
793
00:44:58,854 --> 00:45:00,439
- Michelle...
- Fashion shoots? Gardening?
794
00:45:01,023 --> 00:45:02,274
You want me to be roasted alive
795
00:45:02,817 --> 00:45:05,152
as being elitist
and out of touch?
796
00:45:06,696 --> 00:45:09,156
Valerie. You're my friend.
797
00:45:09,907 --> 00:45:11,117
You know what I can do.
798
00:45:11,575 --> 00:45:13,202
It's complicated right now.
799
00:45:14,370 --> 00:45:18,040
We, of all people, we can't
rock the boat too much.
800
00:45:20,042 --> 00:45:22,002
Yeah. I know.
801
00:45:25,881 --> 00:45:28,426
- [distant horns honking]
- [distant siren wailing]
802
00:45:30,761 --> 00:45:32,179
[footsteps approaching]
803
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:34,181
- [Michelle] Morning, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.
804
00:45:34,765 --> 00:45:36,684
I was talking
garden all morning.
805
00:45:37,268 --> 00:45:40,855
Nothing like a curly
kale master class.
806
00:45:41,063 --> 00:45:42,106
Hmm.
807
00:45:45,526 --> 00:45:47,069
I'm gonna need help.
808
00:45:48,279 --> 00:45:49,363
Can you stay here?
809
00:45:50,072 --> 00:45:53,200
The girls are gonna need
some stability and continuity.
810
00:45:53,784 --> 00:45:54,493
They're gonna need their grandma
811
00:45:55,077 --> 00:45:56,996
to keep their feet
on the ground.
812
00:45:57,580 --> 00:45:59,039
The girls need me?
813
00:46:03,377 --> 00:46:06,464
You need me. Hmm.
814
00:46:10,926 --> 00:46:12,970
Then I am here.
815
00:46:19,769 --> 00:46:22,104
- [whimpers] Mommy.
- [chuckling]
816
00:46:22,313 --> 00:46:24,482
Mom. Mama.
817
00:46:25,107 --> 00:46:26,984
[chattering]
818
00:46:28,068 --> 00:46:29,195
Rahm?
819
00:46:29,570 --> 00:46:30,446
Madam First Lady.
820
00:46:30,946 --> 00:46:32,114
How's it all going?
821
00:46:33,282 --> 00:46:36,160
I have 87 pages to go
through in the next hour.
822
00:46:36,619 --> 00:46:37,536
Why are you sidelining me?
823
00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:39,747
[scoffs] Can you guys
give us a minute, please?
824
00:46:40,456 --> 00:46:42,416
- Give us a few minutes. Thanks.
- [Mel] Of course.
825
00:46:42,917 --> 00:46:44,502
- Ma'am.
- First Lady.
826
00:46:46,420 --> 00:46:48,672
I'm trying to ensure
that the East Wing
827
00:46:49,298 --> 00:46:50,508
compliments our
agenda in the West Wing.
828
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:53,803
So you turned me into a
fluffy, inconsequential hostess.
829
00:46:54,470 --> 00:46:56,347
- No one's gonna buy it.
- Well, that's the job.
830
00:46:56,847 --> 00:46:58,140
It doesn't have to be.
831
00:47:01,101 --> 00:47:03,687
Do you really think-- Be
honest with me, all right?
832
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,025
You really think working on
the board of a Chicago hospital
833
00:47:08,859 --> 00:47:10,194
has anything at all
to do with creating
834
00:47:11,153 --> 00:47:13,989
a countrywide health care
system for 200 million-plus people?
835
00:47:14,824 --> 00:47:15,658
I'm saying that
I can contribute.
836
00:47:16,283 --> 00:47:17,368
And I'm saying,
with all due respect,
837
00:47:17,993 --> 00:47:18,702
- that you're not qualified.
- Excuse me?
838
00:47:19,328 --> 00:47:20,454
I don't want you
to become a liability
839
00:47:20,996 --> 00:47:21,705
to your husband is all.
840
00:47:22,331 --> 00:47:23,290
But you were more than
happy to pimp me out
841
00:47:23,666 --> 00:47:24,458
during the campaign.
842
00:47:25,042 --> 00:47:26,252
The campaign is
over. This is politics
843
00:47:26,836 --> 00:47:27,461
and the business of government.
844
00:47:28,003 --> 00:47:28,879
- You're a real--
- What?
845
00:47:29,672 --> 00:47:31,966
What am I "real"? An
asshole? A pit bull? A jerk-off?
846
00:47:32,550 --> 00:47:34,510
A condescending,
patronizing monster?
847
00:47:35,052 --> 00:47:37,888
I was gonna say a "charmer."
848
00:47:41,183 --> 00:47:42,226
You know what? You
wanna make an omelet,
849
00:47:42,685 --> 00:47:43,310
you gotta break some eggs.
850
00:47:43,894 --> 00:47:45,396
And I don't care
about any of that
851
00:47:45,896 --> 00:47:46,981
other peripheral bullshit.
852
00:47:47,565 --> 00:47:48,691
- You should.
- Caring isn't my job.
853
00:47:49,233 --> 00:47:50,359
Absolute loyalty
to your husband is.
854
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,654
Being the bad guy so he doesn't
have to be, that's my focus.
855
00:47:54,363 --> 00:47:55,698
I will body check anyone
who gets in the way of that.
856
00:47:56,323 --> 00:47:58,284
- Even me?
- If you become an obstacle.
857
00:47:59,410 --> 00:48:01,287
- You're a smart woman.
- Oh, thank you, Rahm.
858
00:48:01,871 --> 00:48:03,247
So, I'm not gonna patronize you,
859
00:48:03,706 --> 00:48:04,540
but the fact that you're not
860
00:48:05,165 --> 00:48:08,294
a qualified career
politician is a fact.
861
00:48:08,878 --> 00:48:09,712
It's not sexist or racist.
862
00:48:10,379 --> 00:48:11,338
So, please, I'm begging
you, don't turn me into
863
00:48:11,922 --> 00:48:12,798
some kind of
cliché villain here.
864
00:48:13,507 --> 00:48:15,050
All right? We've known
each other a long time now.
865
00:48:15,593 --> 00:48:16,635
Amy and I have
been to your house.
866
00:48:17,344 --> 00:48:19,096
So I'm pretty certain,
Michelle-- Mrs. Obama,
867
00:48:19,889 --> 00:48:21,765
that we can find a
process that works.
868
00:48:22,558 --> 00:48:25,477
If I'm willing to roll over and
become a Stepford FLOTUS.
869
00:48:26,061 --> 00:48:27,605
Not happening. Also, Gwen's out.
870
00:48:28,230 --> 00:48:29,648
Oh, my God. We
already went through this.
871
00:48:30,232 --> 00:48:31,275
Letting you foist
a chief of staff
872
00:48:31,734 --> 00:48:32,610
on me was my first mistake.
873
00:48:33,235 --> 00:48:34,320
[sighs] You're opening
a can of worms here.
874
00:48:35,237 --> 00:48:38,365
No. I'm accepting your
position and stepping into mine.
875
00:48:38,741 --> 00:48:39,783
Gwen will be replaced.
876
00:48:40,576 --> 00:48:43,787
I'll pick my team, choose my
causes. You leave me alone.
877
00:48:44,246 --> 00:48:45,247
Understood?
878
00:48:50,461 --> 00:48:51,587
Madam First Lady.
879
00:48:52,463 --> 00:48:53,923
Rahm.
880
00:48:55,090 --> 00:48:57,927
["Tell Mama" playing]
881
00:49:06,226 --> 00:49:07,853
Honey, I'm home. [chuckles]
882
00:49:08,312 --> 00:49:10,105
A nutritious meal
883
00:49:10,940 --> 00:49:12,858
from the future
White House garden.
884
00:49:13,484 --> 00:49:18,489
Prepared by the
horticulturist to the stars.
885
00:49:18,948 --> 00:49:20,783
Oh, boy. [grunts]
886
00:49:21,450 --> 00:49:24,870
You've been
misused Talk to me...
887
00:49:25,329 --> 00:49:26,747
You seem nervous.
888
00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:28,874
Huh? Me? No. Not at all.
889
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:31,085
I mean, y-you managed
to make romaine lettuce
890
00:49:31,669 --> 00:49:34,338
seem threatening,
but... [chuckles]
891
00:49:35,130 --> 00:49:36,966
What you need...
892
00:49:37,466 --> 00:49:38,717
Look, uh...
893
00:49:39,176 --> 00:49:40,135
What you want...
894
00:49:40,678 --> 00:49:42,888
Rahm told me that
you and he spoke.
895
00:49:43,472 --> 00:49:46,767
We did. It was
real illuminating.
896
00:49:47,351 --> 00:49:50,104
Hmm. Mm-hmm. He
said the same thing.
897
00:49:50,312 --> 00:49:50,771
Mm-hmm.
898
00:49:51,355 --> 00:49:53,148
All the time that you spent
899
00:49:54,316 --> 00:49:57,444
She had other men
throw you outdoors
900
00:49:57,653 --> 00:49:58,612
Uh, look.
901
00:49:59,196 --> 00:50:02,116
- R-Rahm thinks--
- Stop right there.
902
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,704
You tell your work
wife that your actual wife
903
00:50:07,329 --> 00:50:10,541
said to stay out of
our family business.
904
00:50:11,041 --> 00:50:12,835
Got it. Now I have two wives
905
00:50:13,502 --> 00:50:14,878
and neither of them
are happy. [chuckles]
906
00:50:15,504 --> 00:50:18,382
I'll make everything all right
907
00:50:24,722 --> 00:50:26,348
You are my number one.
908
00:50:26,557 --> 00:50:27,349
Mm-hmm.
909
00:50:27,808 --> 00:50:28,600
- My main wife.
- Mm-hmm.
910
00:50:29,143 --> 00:50:29,935
And he's a distant second.
911
00:50:30,644 --> 00:50:32,521
For a start, he can't
kiss as well as you can.
912
00:50:33,063 --> 00:50:34,064
He-- He's working on it.
913
00:50:34,565 --> 00:50:35,315
But he's, uh-- [chuckles]
914
00:50:36,233 --> 00:50:38,318
- [both chuckling]
- He hasn't got it quite yet.
915
00:50:40,029 --> 00:50:42,322
Can I eat now?
916
00:50:42,531 --> 00:50:43,490
Mm-hmm.
917
00:50:44,491 --> 00:50:46,076
Can I get a little meat in here,
or I haven't earned my meat--
918
00:50:46,702 --> 00:50:48,912
There's no meat in the
White House garden.
919
00:50:49,538 --> 00:50:51,165
- I'm going to try it out.
- [chuckles]
920
00:50:52,166 --> 00:50:54,752
Oh, don't let them say I didn't
try it. All right. Here we go.
921
00:50:55,210 --> 00:50:56,795
[Michelle laughs]
922
00:50:57,546 --> 00:50:59,715
Mm-hmm! Mmm! Organic!
923
00:51:00,215 --> 00:51:01,550
- Mmm.
- I approve!
924
00:51:01,717 --> 00:51:02,843
[chuckles]
925
00:51:03,552 --> 00:51:05,471
This is-- This has got the
presidential seal of approval!
926
00:51:05,763 --> 00:51:08,348
[chuckles, sighs]
927
00:51:08,557 --> 00:51:09,475
[song ends]
928
00:51:09,767 --> 00:51:11,018
[liquid pouring]
929
00:51:11,685 --> 00:51:13,771
[Michelle] I let Rahm
pick my chief of staff.
930
00:51:14,229 --> 00:51:15,606
That was my mistake.
931
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,526
That's why I asked you here.
932
00:51:22,404 --> 00:51:25,074
I want you to be
my chief of staff.
933
00:51:28,786 --> 00:51:30,120
Gwen didn't work out.
934
00:51:30,621 --> 00:51:31,789
I need someone who knows me.
935
00:51:32,414 --> 00:51:34,416
Someone who
understands my priorities.
936
00:51:35,375 --> 00:51:37,377
You've been in the
trenches with me. I trust you.
937
00:51:37,586 --> 00:51:39,129
[gasps]
938
00:51:39,922 --> 00:51:41,632
Michelle, I'm flattered.
939
00:51:43,217 --> 00:51:44,927
But I was only supposed to be
here for a few months to work
940
00:51:45,552 --> 00:51:46,845
- on the inauguration committee.
- I know.
941
00:51:47,554 --> 00:51:49,723
And Neil already doesn't
love me being away.
942
00:51:50,099 --> 00:51:51,141
I know.
943
00:51:51,642 --> 00:51:54,103
But husbands can relocate.
944
00:51:55,104 --> 00:51:55,813
And remember what you told me
945
00:51:56,438 --> 00:51:58,774
when Barack was
still in the primaries?
946
00:52:01,110 --> 00:52:03,320
That you should start
embracing the fact
947
00:52:04,154 --> 00:52:07,324
that your life might
change in a huge way.
948
00:52:08,325 --> 00:52:10,452
And I remember
what else you told me.
949
00:52:11,411 --> 00:52:15,290
About being open to exciting,
unexpected new horizons.
950
00:52:16,166 --> 00:52:18,293
I can be so inspirational
when I want to be, can't I?
951
00:52:19,128 --> 00:52:20,629
Susan, let's kick
some fucking ass
952
00:52:21,171 --> 00:52:23,090
the way we did back in Chicago.
953
00:52:23,799 --> 00:52:27,427
You know what this means,
right? You to be my boss.
954
00:52:36,687 --> 00:52:40,607
I really hope Neil
likes Washington DC.
955
00:52:42,484 --> 00:52:44,153
Yes, yes!
956
00:52:44,987 --> 00:52:46,071
- Yes, yes!
- [whimpers]
957
00:52:46,530 --> 00:52:47,948
- Aw!
- [chuckles]
958
00:52:48,365 --> 00:52:49,324
Oh!
959
00:52:49,658 --> 00:52:50,868
Yeah. Okay.
960
00:52:51,451 --> 00:52:53,370
- Okay!
- Mm-hmm. You promised.
961
00:52:54,371 --> 00:52:56,206
- Hmm.
- [whispers] Okay.
962
00:52:57,833 --> 00:52:59,334
Where do we start?
963
00:53:00,210 --> 00:53:01,461
[chuckles]
964
00:53:06,008 --> 00:53:08,302
[crowd chattering, laughing]
965
00:53:14,224 --> 00:53:15,934
That would be lovely.
I would love that.
966
00:53:16,393 --> 00:53:17,519
It would be lovely.
967
00:53:17,895 --> 00:53:18,979
We have, uh, the Dead Sea,
968
00:53:19,646 --> 00:53:20,939
- and you don't sink, you float.
- Excuse me.
969
00:53:21,523 --> 00:53:23,317
- So, it is very beautiful.
- [gasps]
970
00:53:24,193 --> 00:53:29,406
Ladies and gentlemen, it
has been our great pleasure
971
00:53:30,407 --> 00:53:31,825
spending a wonderful evening
972
00:53:32,492 --> 00:53:35,495
with our new friends, King
Hussein and Queen Alia,
973
00:53:36,413 --> 00:53:38,749
here at the White House
for our first State Dinner.
974
00:53:39,208 --> 00:53:40,709
[applause]
975
00:53:45,756 --> 00:53:47,799
And it is my great pleasure
976
00:53:48,926 --> 00:53:54,264
to ask the most beautiful
woman in the world...
977
00:53:56,225 --> 00:53:59,603
if she'll dance our first
State Dinner dance with me.
978
00:54:00,062 --> 00:54:01,772
- [guests] Oh.
- [laughter]
979
00:54:02,231 --> 00:54:04,441
[jazz playing]
980
00:54:18,455 --> 00:54:19,748
I miss dancing with you.
981
00:54:20,749 --> 00:54:24,753
I'll dance with you
anytime, Mr. President.
982
00:54:25,921 --> 00:54:28,799
- I like the sound of that.
- Mmm. I'm sure you do.
983
00:54:29,091 --> 00:54:30,425
[both chuckle]
984
00:54:37,474 --> 00:54:39,518
[Gerald] I'm so
impressed with you.
985
00:54:40,727 --> 00:54:43,438
Pulling this all together
on such short notice.
986
00:54:45,274 --> 00:54:46,858
I'm impressed with you, Jerry.
987
00:54:47,484 --> 00:54:50,570
You have a lot on your
shoulders right now.
988
00:54:53,490 --> 00:54:55,659
[jazz music continues]
