Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:06,140
Previously on the west wing:
2
00:00:06,207 --> 00:00:07,775
I can't do this anymore.
3
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:10,711
This is the most important
Thing I'll ever do, jenny.
4
00:00:10,778 --> 00:00:12,480
It's not more important
Than your marriage.
5
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:15,316
It is more important than
My marriage right now.
6
00:00:15,383 --> 00:00:16,784
Say, what are you
Wearing tonight?
7
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,119
What am I wearing
Tonight?
8
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:19,353
Your paper wants to know
What I'm wearing?
9
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:20,621
Not my paper.
That was just for me.
10
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:23,023
When was the last time
You went to a meeting?
11
00:00:23,091 --> 00:00:27,328
A.A.? What meeting could
I possibly go to?
12
00:00:27,395 --> 00:00:28,496
Mine.
13
00:00:28,562 --> 00:00:29,463
Something I can
14
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:32,600
Help you with,
Mr. Mcgarry?
15
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:34,602
Yeah. I'm here for
The... Card game.
16
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:41,809
( banging )
17
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:47,248
Yes... Yes.
18
00:00:51,319 --> 00:00:52,420
Yes.
19
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:59,160
So are you prepared
At this point to...
20
00:01:02,963 --> 00:01:05,666
Thank you.
21
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,368
Thank you, sir.
22
00:01:07,435 --> 00:01:09,337
Uh, if you'll sit by
The phone for a few minutes
23
00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:13,607
You can expect a call
From the president.
24
00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:15,476
Thank you again.
25
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:18,078
Yes!
26
00:01:18,146 --> 00:01:18,912
It's done.
27
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:19,613
We did it!
28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,481
It is done!
29
00:01:20,548 --> 00:01:21,215
It's done!
30
00:01:21,282 --> 00:01:21,982
We did it!
31
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:23,351
I did it.
32
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:24,885
C.J. Was on the phone
With her fingers crossed.
33
00:01:24,952 --> 00:01:26,454
Josh, it was
One phone call.
34
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,656
It was a series of phone calls
Which I masterminded
35
00:01:28,722 --> 00:01:31,091
And while I'm not one to be
Selfish about credit
36
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:34,395
I think it is important to know
That it is done and I did it!
37
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:38,031
Donna, call toby, call sam,
Call leo, call the president.
38
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:38,999
Tell them I'm on my way over.
39
00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:39,967
Congratulations!
40
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:41,034
Nothing to the press.
41
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:42,035
Yes!
42
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,071
Claudia jean, we did it.
43
00:01:44,138 --> 00:01:45,072
Yes!
44
00:01:45,139 --> 00:01:46,507
Whoo!
45
00:01:46,574 --> 00:01:47,141
Wait!
46
00:01:47,208 --> 00:01:48,276
What?
47
00:01:48,342 --> 00:01:49,577
Don't you want
To know
48
00:01:49,643 --> 00:01:51,479
About the banging
In your office?
49
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:53,514
The banging in my office?
They've been at it
All morning.
50
00:01:53,581 --> 00:01:55,149
Banging? I don't know what
You're talking about.
51
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:56,717
Josh, there was a loud
Banging or thumping
52
00:01:56,784 --> 00:01:58,819
Coming from the floor
Above your office.
53
00:01:58,886 --> 00:02:00,354
I didn't notice.
How could you
Not notice?
54
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:01,722
Because I didn't, donna.
55
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:03,457
I've been on the phone
For the last hour
56
00:02:03,524 --> 00:02:05,159
Trying to seal a deal
To fill a seat
57
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:06,560
On the supreme court,
So, you know...
58
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:08,128
It was a pretty loud
Banging, josh.
59
00:02:08,196 --> 00:02:09,530
You understand I'm
Taking about
60
00:02:09,597 --> 00:02:11,365
The united states
Supreme court, right?
61
00:02:11,432 --> 00:02:12,166
Yes.
62
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:13,167
Who da man?
63
00:02:13,234 --> 00:02:14,034
You're da man.
64
00:02:14,101 --> 00:02:15,669
We da man!
65
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:16,804
This is just gross.
66
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,906
Wait here for me.
67
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,208
Good morning,
Mrs. Landingham.
68
00:02:20,274 --> 00:02:23,377
Good morning.
Good morning, indeed.
69
00:02:23,444 --> 00:02:25,078
Josh?
Yes, mrs. Landingham?
70
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,380
Is it done?
71
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:29,016
Well, that depends
On your answer
72
00:02:29,082 --> 00:02:31,485
To this question,
Mrs. Landingham:
73
00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:33,587
Who da man?
74
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:35,055
Excuse me, josh?
75
00:02:35,122 --> 00:02:35,789
( chuckling )
76
00:02:35,856 --> 00:02:37,157
Mmm...
77
00:02:37,225 --> 00:02:38,659
Who da man?
78
00:02:38,726 --> 00:02:39,993
You da man.
79
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:41,061
We da man!
We da man!
80
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:42,263
We da man.
81
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:43,564
He's waiting for you.
82
00:02:43,631 --> 00:02:44,732
Thank you.
83
00:02:44,798 --> 00:02:46,200
( sighing )
84
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,670
I heard we may have...
85
00:02:49,737 --> 00:02:50,671
Yes, sir!
86
00:02:50,738 --> 00:02:51,472
I can call him?
87
00:02:51,539 --> 00:02:52,740
He's waiting for you, sir.
88
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:53,707
It's done?
89
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:54,242
It's done.
90
00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:55,476
You got yourself
91
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:56,810
A supreme court nominee,
Mr. President.
92
00:02:56,877 --> 00:02:59,513
This is huge.
Which one of you is the man?
93
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:01,215
On this one, we'd like to think
Of ourselves collectively
94
00:03:01,282 --> 00:03:02,616
As the men, sir.
95
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,118
Miss landingham, let's
Make that phone call.
96
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:07,087
Congratulations, sir.
97
00:03:07,154 --> 00:03:07,988
Well done, sir.
98
00:03:08,055 --> 00:03:11,191
Thank you.
99
00:03:11,259 --> 00:03:12,192
You guys rock.
100
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:13,394
Oh, we really do.
101
00:03:13,461 --> 00:03:14,862
Let's bring in
The chairman
102
00:03:14,928 --> 00:03:16,830
And the ranking member
From judiciary
103
00:03:16,897 --> 00:03:20,834
The leadership from both sides
And c.J., you should...
104
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:21,869
Where is c.J.?
105
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:22,770
Right here.
106
00:03:22,836 --> 00:03:24,071
Sorry.
107
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:25,339
You should wear a bell around
Your neck, you know that?
108
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:26,440
Thank you.
109
00:03:26,507 --> 00:03:27,475
So, what do we
Want to do?
110
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:28,809
C.J.'ll let the press know
111
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,511
That the president
Will introduce his nominee
112
00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:33,180
At an east room press ceremony
Thursday, 5:00 p.M.
113
00:03:33,247 --> 00:03:34,848
Can we do it on friday
And give ourselves
More time?
114
00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:36,317
Thursday.
Why?
115
00:03:36,384 --> 00:03:37,451
'cause that's when people
Watch tv.
116
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:38,552
We can do this
In four days?
Yep.
117
00:03:38,619 --> 00:03:39,887
Are you
Sure?
Yep.
118
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:41,555
Toby, you're running
The show.
I know.
119
00:03:41,622 --> 00:03:43,156
Put the ball
In the hole.
It's done.
120
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,024
No, it's not.
121
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:45,025
So get it done.
122
00:03:45,092 --> 00:03:46,794
Yes, sir.
123
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:48,329
Josh, get me everything.
124
00:03:48,396 --> 00:03:49,630
We vetted him two months.
125
00:03:49,697 --> 00:03:50,731
I'm going to vet him
Four more days.
126
00:03:50,798 --> 00:03:52,833
I want to know every
Parking ticket
127
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,969
I want to know every
Girlfriend he stood up
For dinner in 1953...
128
00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:58,105
Amanda, you're going
To roll this guy out
In a show
129
00:03:58,171 --> 00:03:59,640
That makes the queen's
Coronation look like
Dinner theater.
130
00:03:59,707 --> 00:04:00,841
Sam, you're going
To write
131
00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:02,310
The president's
Introduction.
132
00:04:02,376 --> 00:04:03,277
You're also going
To write
133
00:04:03,344 --> 00:04:04,678
Harrison's remarks.
134
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:06,046
Harrison's not going
To like that.
135
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:06,980
Show him the robe
He gets--
136
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:07,948
He'll like it fine.
137
00:04:08,015 --> 00:04:09,283
C.J., no leaks.
138
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:10,384
If the name of this
Nominee leaks out
139
00:04:10,451 --> 00:04:11,852
Before I want it
To be leaked out
140
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:13,321
I'm going to blame you
141
00:04:13,387 --> 00:04:15,923
And you're going to
Find that unpleasant.
142
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,691
I've gotta tell you something,
Toby--
143
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:19,293
You're hot
When you're like this.
144
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,829
I am going to put harrison
On the court!
145
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:23,331
I swear to god I am.
146
00:04:23,397 --> 00:04:24,998
We meet again
In three hours.
147
00:04:25,065 --> 00:04:26,266
C.J., come
Talk to me.
148
00:04:26,334 --> 00:04:28,669
Did you see his face?
149
00:04:28,736 --> 00:04:29,470
We're home.
150
00:04:29,537 --> 00:04:31,339
I'll see you later.
151
00:04:31,405 --> 00:04:33,240
It's a maintenance
Crew.
152
00:04:33,307 --> 00:04:34,274
They're banging.
153
00:04:34,342 --> 00:04:36,043
They're working upstairs.
154
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:37,945
Peyton cabot harrison iii.
155
00:04:38,011 --> 00:04:38,979
Yes.
156
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:40,981
"Peyton cabot harrison iii"--
157
00:04:41,048 --> 00:04:42,950
He sounds like he should be
A supreme court justice.
158
00:04:43,016 --> 00:04:44,284
It's a good name.
159
00:04:44,352 --> 00:04:46,820
Phillips exeter,
Princeton, rhodes scholar...
160
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:47,888
Harvard law review
161
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:50,123
For which he was,
Oh, yeah, the editor...
162
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:53,060
Did I mention that he was dean
Of harvard law school?
163
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,362
Did I mention
That his father
164
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:56,096
Was attorney general
To eisenhower?
165
00:04:56,163 --> 00:04:57,965
Peyton cabot
Harrison iii.
166
00:04:58,031 --> 00:04:58,832
That's right.
167
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,067
Jewish fella?
168
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,002
You're not going to ruin
This moment for me, donna.
169
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:03,437
I'm sharing this moment.
170
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:05,105
This is a big
Day for us.
You're the men.
171
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:06,507
You know what we're
Finally going to have?
172
00:05:06,574 --> 00:05:08,175
A waspy old man
On the supreme court?
173
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:10,143
A smooth
Confirmation process.
174
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:11,445
You think?
It's going
To sail.
175
00:05:11,512 --> 00:05:13,080
I hope so.
It's going to
Sail, donna.
176
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:15,549
There's many a slip twixt
The tongue and the wrist, josh.
177
00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:17,585
Your fortune cookie wisdom
Notwithstanding
178
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:18,719
It's going to sail.
179
00:05:18,786 --> 00:05:20,087
Please don't get your hopes up.
180
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:21,288
Why shouldn't I
Get my hopes up?
181
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:22,356
Because when it
Doesn't work out
182
00:05:22,423 --> 00:05:23,357
You end up drunk
In my apartment
183
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:24,525
In the middle
Of the night
184
00:05:24,592 --> 00:05:25,893
And yell at
My roommates' cats.
185
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:27,828
Smooth sailing,
Donna.
Cautious optimism, josh.
186
00:05:27,895 --> 00:05:31,131
Nothing bad is going
To happen this week.
Exercise cautious optimism.
187
00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:32,433
Look, there's
No reason...
188
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:41,409
Well...
189
00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:42,743
Okay.
190
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,761
You're too young
To retire, joseph.
191
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:38,666
( chuckling ):
You're an excellent
Liar, mr. President.
192
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:41,368
( chuckling ):
Yes, sir.
193
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:43,771
( clears throat )
194
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:46,006
You're going to go
With harrison?
195
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:48,075
He's on the short list.
196
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:49,076
Yeah?
197
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:50,478
Yeah.
198
00:06:50,544 --> 00:06:53,447
With how many other names?
199
00:06:53,514 --> 00:06:55,883
We'll make our announcement
On thursday.
200
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,184
( sighing )
201
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:59,553
You've decided on harrison.
202
00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:02,089
I haven't made
A decision yet, joseph.
203
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:05,392
You've made the call.
204
00:07:05,459 --> 00:07:07,127
( scoffing )
205
00:07:07,194 --> 00:07:10,163
Did you even consider mendoza?
206
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:11,765
Mendoza was on the short list.
207
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:13,400
Mendoza was on the short list
208
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:17,170
So you could show you had
An hispanic on the short list.
209
00:07:17,237 --> 00:07:18,872
That's not true, joseph.
210
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:22,409
You ran great guns
In the campaign.
211
00:07:22,476 --> 00:07:26,313
It was an insurgency,
Boy, a sight to see.
212
00:07:26,379 --> 00:07:27,715
And then you drove
213
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:30,317
To the middle of
The road the moment
214
00:07:30,383 --> 00:07:31,619
After you took
The oath.
215
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:33,020
( clears throat ):
Joseph...
216
00:07:33,086 --> 00:07:35,255
Middle of the road.
217
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:38,291
Nothing but a long line
Painted yellow.
218
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:39,493
Excuse me, sir...
219
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,796
I wanted to retire
Five years ago.
220
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:45,566
But I waited for a democrat.
221
00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:48,201
I wanted a democrat.
222
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:49,503
Hmm!
223
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:52,640
But instead, I got you.
224
00:08:07,755 --> 00:08:08,355
Hey.
225
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,222
Hey.
226
00:08:09,289 --> 00:08:10,157
How you doing?
227
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:11,358
I'm doing fine, danny.
228
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,626
Is it going
To be harrison?
229
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:14,327
Why, why, oh, why
Do you ask me questions
230
00:08:14,394 --> 00:08:15,395
That you absolutely,
Positively know
231
00:08:15,462 --> 00:08:16,764
I'm not going to answer?
232
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,298
It's a good
Conversation starter.
233
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:19,432
I can't go out on a date
With you, danny.
234
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:20,901
Who asked you?
235
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:22,202
You think harrison's going
To be a good justice?
236
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:23,704
Danny...
See what I did there?
237
00:08:23,771 --> 00:08:25,372
I tried to trick you into
Confirming it was harrison.
238
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:26,774
It didn't work.
239
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,508
And you won't go out on
A date with me, right?
240
00:08:28,576 --> 00:08:29,810
Right.
Okay.
241
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:40,053
I suppose we should
Get out there.
242
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,254
Not yet, sir.
243
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:42,890
I'm sorry, joseph,
But I am...
244
00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:45,993
I served on this bench
For 38 years.
245
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:49,730
I took my seat the year
You began college.
246
00:08:49,797 --> 00:08:53,433
I believe I've earned
The right to say a word.
247
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,102
You've said quite
A few words.
248
00:08:55,168 --> 00:08:57,270
Not enough.
249
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:58,672
Let's get out there.
250
00:08:58,739 --> 00:09:01,508
Take the next few days
With your staff
251
00:09:01,575 --> 00:09:04,712
And give mendoza
The consideration
He deserves.
252
00:09:04,778 --> 00:09:07,615
Joseph, when the next seat
Opens up, I promise you...
253
00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:09,482
When the next seat
Opens up
254
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:11,251
You'll be writing
Your memoirs.
255
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:13,486
In three years, I would hope
To be running for reel...
256
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,790
You're going to get beat
In three years.
257
00:09:16,857 --> 00:09:18,558
That's a little
Pessimistic, joseph.
258
00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:23,496
The american voters like guts,
And republicans have got them.
259
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:27,167
And in three years, one of them
Is going to beat you.
260
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:31,304
You know,
I imagine the... View
261
00:09:31,371 --> 00:09:34,207
From your largely unscrutinized
Place in history
262
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:37,344
Must be very different
From mine.
263
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,046
But I'd remind you, sir
264
00:09:39,112 --> 00:09:42,349
That I have the following things
To negotiate:
265
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:43,851
An opposition congress
266
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:46,787
A special interest
With power beyond belief
267
00:09:46,854 --> 00:09:48,121
And a bitchy media.
268
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,757
So did harry truman.
269
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:51,258
Well, I am not harry truman.
270
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:55,295
Mr. Bartlet, you needn't
Point out that fact.
271
00:09:57,865 --> 00:10:01,401
It's "Dr. Bartlet", your honor.
272
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,436
Now...
273
00:10:03,503 --> 00:10:05,338
Let's go start your retirement.
274
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:11,578
Want my gloves?
275
00:10:11,645 --> 00:10:12,579
No, thanks.
276
00:10:12,646 --> 00:10:13,580
You look pretty cold.
277
00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:15,315
I'm fine.
278
00:10:15,382 --> 00:10:16,950
What do you suppose
They're talking
About in there?
279
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:18,786
The president
And justice crouch
Are old friends.
280
00:10:18,852 --> 00:10:20,654
The president
And justice crouch
Can't stand each other.
281
00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:22,723
The man's retiring today.
It's a courtesy call.
282
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:23,924
What do you want
From me?
Dinner and a movie.
283
00:10:23,991 --> 00:10:25,625
No.
You think crouch
Is pissed
284
00:10:25,693 --> 00:10:26,827
'cause the president already
Settled on harrison?
285
00:10:26,894 --> 00:10:28,528
Danny...
I did it again!
286
00:10:28,595 --> 00:10:29,496
Yes.
But you know
What you did?
287
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:30,964
What?
You outfoxed me.
288
00:10:31,031 --> 00:10:32,966
You're killing me,
You know that, danny?
289
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:34,134
Here we go.
290
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,615
That was inches
From my head.
Josh...
291
00:10:48,682 --> 00:10:50,317
Inches.
It was not inches.
292
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:52,753
It was inches--
A little bit this way,
A little bit that way...
293
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:54,121
( snaps finger ):
Bam, massive head wound.
294
00:10:54,187 --> 00:10:55,255
You're fine.
295
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:57,324
Yeah, but there, but for
The grace of god...
296
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:58,358
You know what I'm saying?
297
00:10:58,425 --> 00:10:59,827
Yes.
298
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:01,361
I really think if big chunks
Of the ceiling
299
00:11:01,428 --> 00:11:04,698
Are going to fall down
On anyone, I don't know...
300
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:07,200
( inhaling )
301
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:08,168
What?
302
00:11:08,235 --> 00:11:09,336
It should be you.
303
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:10,838
Oh, I knew you were
Going to say that.
304
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:12,639
From now on, before I come in
In the morning
305
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:14,407
I want you
To test my office.
306
00:11:14,474 --> 00:11:15,408
Josh...
307
00:11:15,475 --> 00:11:16,443
Staff in ten minutes.
308
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:17,610
You see this?
Yeah.
309
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,246
Inches from my head.
310
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:21,448
Why is peter lillienfield
Holding a press conference?
311
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:22,983
Who cares?
I do.
312
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:24,818
Why is lillienfield holding
A press conference?
313
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:26,987
I don't know.
Is he unhappy
About something?
314
00:11:27,054 --> 00:11:28,789
He's always unhappy
About something.
315
00:11:28,856 --> 00:11:32,025
Donna? Where's my
East asia memo?!
316
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:33,093
It starts in
Two minutes.
317
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,594
What starts
In two minutes?
318
00:11:34,661 --> 00:11:36,129
Lillienfield's
Press conference.
319
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,530
( shouts ):
That's okay, donna.
320
00:11:37,597 --> 00:11:40,233
I'll just come
And get it myself.
321
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:41,869
Josh?
Mandy?
322
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:44,371
I'm just saying that we don't
Need any surprises today.
323
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:45,638
We're not going to have
Any surprises today.
324
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:46,807
I'm putting on a show
325
00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:47,975
And I don't want
To get upstaged.
326
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:51,311
You're not going
To get upstaged.
327
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:52,145
Here.
328
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:52,880
Thank you.
329
00:11:52,946 --> 00:11:54,114
You're welcome.
330
00:11:54,181 --> 00:11:55,348
You should be nice to me.
331
00:11:55,415 --> 00:11:57,684
I could be dead,
You know.
332
00:11:57,751 --> 00:11:59,987
I don't have
That kind of luck.
333
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:01,955
( television playing )
334
00:12:02,022 --> 00:12:02,555
Yeah?
335
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:03,824
I'd like you
336
00:12:03,891 --> 00:12:05,558
To play up that,
As a lifelong democrat
337
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:07,594
He clerked for a republican, and
I would like you to play down
338
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:10,798
That he's never written
A judicial opinion on abortion
339
00:12:10,864 --> 00:12:12,933
Or revealed his thinking
On roe.
340
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,134
I'm already there.
341
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:15,668
Well, thank you.
342
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,404
Who's this?
343
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,807
Lillienfield's
Talking about something
344
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:21,474
That's bothering him today.
345
00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:24,311
What could possibly be
Less interesting?
346
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:25,112
I'll be in my office.
347
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:26,479
Okay.
348
00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:30,083
Gone are the days
Of the best and the brightest.
349
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:31,919
Stained, I believe,
Are the legacies
350
00:12:31,985 --> 00:12:34,254
Of the great
White house staffers.
351
00:12:34,321 --> 00:12:38,025
Names like schlesinger,
Sorenson, rumsfeld
352
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,960
And persons have been replaced
353
00:12:40,027 --> 00:12:43,063
By a roster
Of ivy league liberals
354
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:49,202
And hollywood darlings,
One in three of who--
355
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,471
One in three--
356
00:12:51,538 --> 00:12:56,676
Used drugs on a regular basis.
357
00:12:56,743 --> 00:13:00,447
And in case there should be
Any confusion about my meaning
358
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:03,383
I'm not talking about
Aspirin or decongestants.
359
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:05,485
Members of my staff
Will be passing out
360
00:13:05,552 --> 00:13:06,619
The most recent figures.
361
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:08,889
( dialing )
Get her.
362
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,491
C.J.?
363
00:13:11,558 --> 00:13:13,293
Tell him I'm watching.
364
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,697
...And to ask who exactly is it
That's helping lead our country?
365
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:20,067
Who has the ear
Of the president...
366
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:21,534
Advising the president?
367
00:13:24,037 --> 00:13:25,906
He said one in three
368
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:27,407
White house staffers were
On drugs?
369
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:29,076
Yes.
Where does he get
These stats?
370
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:30,743
Leo...
I mean, where does he
Pull them from?
371
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:31,811
Out of the
Clear blue sky
372
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:33,113
But that doesn't matter.
373
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:34,514
Is somebody bringing me a tape
On this?
374
00:13:34,581 --> 00:13:35,582
They're getting it.
375
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:36,749
This isn't happening
To me.
376
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,318
Nothing's happening.
Stay cool.
377
00:13:38,385 --> 00:13:40,120
Is it possible
For peter lillienfield
378
00:13:40,187 --> 00:13:41,554
To be a bigger jackass?
379
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:43,823
You think if he tried hard
There's room for him
380
00:13:43,891 --> 00:13:44,992
To be a slightly bigger
Horse's ass
381
00:13:45,058 --> 00:13:46,193
Than he's being now?
382
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:47,895
You hit your head
On the ceiling.
383
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:49,429
I think
There's unexplored potential.
384
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:50,430
What's up?
385
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:51,798
Josh?
386
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:52,933
Five white house staffers
In the room.
387
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,402
I would like to say
To the 1.6 of you
388
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:58,205
Who are stoned right now
That it's time to share.
389
00:13:58,271 --> 00:13:59,706
Mandy:
This isn't funny, josh.
390
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:00,908
Josh:
If you can't laugh
391
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:02,342
At this,
You're just not having
392
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:03,643
Enough fun
In show business.
393
00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:04,978
Josh...
He's a featherweight.
394
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:05,979
He's a hairdo.
395
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:06,980
Sam:
I think if he put
396
00:14:07,047 --> 00:14:08,181
His shoulder into it
397
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:09,349
He could be
A slightly bigger gasbag.
398
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:10,383
Yeah.
399
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:12,085
If he really reached
For the stars.
400
00:14:12,152 --> 00:14:14,221
Morning. There was no way
You saw this coming?
401
00:14:14,287 --> 00:14:15,488
Toby...
402
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:17,390
Leo, I know I'm in your office--
Forgive me--
403
00:14:17,457 --> 00:14:19,292
( yelling ):
But nobody saw this coming?
404
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:22,429
Yeah, I can't believe
My psychic didn't tell me, toby.
405
00:14:22,495 --> 00:14:24,864
Rest assured, I'm going
To get my 20 bucks back.
406
00:14:24,932 --> 00:14:26,566
Short-term,
Long-term?
407
00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:27,534
Short-term-- nothing.
408
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,002
I can't go with nothing.
409
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:30,537
Josh:
Why not?
Pretend we didn't see it?
410
00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:31,438
He's a liar.
411
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:32,372
He's a fool.
412
00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:33,806
Categorically deny it
And move on.
413
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:34,942
She can't.
414
00:14:35,008 --> 00:14:36,243
I can't.
Josh:
Why not?
415
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:38,645
Because more than
1,300 people work
416
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:39,779
For the white house, josh.
417
00:14:39,846 --> 00:14:40,981
I go into the
Press room
418
00:14:41,048 --> 00:14:42,682
And categorically deny
Anyone uses drugs
419
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:44,251
And it turns out that
Three guys in the photo lab
420
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:45,752
Blew a joint over the weekend
421
00:14:45,818 --> 00:14:48,855
Which is not, like,
Out of the realm of possibility
422
00:14:48,922 --> 00:14:49,957
And my next question is...
423
00:14:50,023 --> 00:14:51,191
You categorically
Denied it.
424
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:52,292
Now you admit
There are three?
425
00:14:52,359 --> 00:14:53,793
Well, I categorically deny
426
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,295
There are any
More than three.
427
00:14:55,362 --> 00:14:57,764
Mandy:
But now the assistant
To the deputy director
428
00:14:57,830 --> 00:14:58,765
Of white house beverages
429
00:14:58,831 --> 00:14:59,899
All right.
Is confessing
430
00:14:59,967 --> 00:15:01,468
To a life
As a closet junkie.
431
00:15:01,534 --> 00:15:03,236
C.J.:
And she's selling her
Story to random house
432
00:15:03,303 --> 00:15:04,804
For a middle-six-figure advance.
433
00:15:04,871 --> 00:15:05,872
All right, are we done
434
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:09,542
With masterpiece theatre?
435
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:10,810
C.J....
436
00:15:10,877 --> 00:15:12,345
We're looking
Into it, okay?
Yep.
437
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:13,981
That's what we're
Saying right now.
438
00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:15,515
I don't care
If we say that
439
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:19,819
But... We're not actually
Looking into it, are we?
440
00:15:19,886 --> 00:15:20,820
Yes.
441
00:15:20,887 --> 00:15:22,322
This is a joke, right?
442
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:22,990
Leo?
443
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,424
Yeah?
444
00:15:24,491 --> 00:15:25,658
Toby?
445
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:27,460
Yeah.
446
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:31,664
C.J., go do your briefing.
447
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:34,634
The president paid
A courtesy call on
Crouch this morning.
448
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:35,868
We've got some
Exciting names.
449
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:37,437
On the short list
Is ed harrison.
450
00:15:37,504 --> 00:15:40,840
We'll introduce the
Nominee thursday, 5:00.
451
00:15:40,907 --> 00:15:41,941
This business with
Lillienfield...
452
00:15:42,009 --> 00:15:43,343
I've heard about it.
453
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:44,644
I'd like the chance to see it
Before I comment.
454
00:15:44,711 --> 00:15:46,013
Is the president aware?
455
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:47,480
We keep these things
Off the president's desk
456
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:48,748
Until we measure
What credibility...
457
00:15:48,815 --> 00:15:49,749
Good girl.
458
00:15:49,816 --> 00:15:51,118
Toby, if the
Alternative is
459
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:52,385
Getting harrison bumped
From the top story...
460
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:53,720
We're not going
To postpone.
461
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:54,887
Let's end
This fast.
How?
462
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:55,989
You know how?
No, I don't.
463
00:15:56,056 --> 00:15:57,857
Mandy...
What I am
Saying is...
464
00:15:57,924 --> 00:15:58,791
Go back to work,
Mandy.
465
00:15:58,858 --> 00:15:59,859
No, hang on a second.
466
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:00,827
I want to hear what...
Hey.
467
00:16:00,893 --> 00:16:01,995
Go back to work.
468
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:03,463
Lillienfield is
Walking on our stage
469
00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:05,032
And he's not going to
Get off until he gets off
470
00:16:05,098 --> 00:16:06,199
Is what I'm saying.
471
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:07,567
We are not taking
Drug tests.
472
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:08,568
Why not?
473
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:09,569
Because
We're not!
474
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:10,303
Toby, let's
End this.
475
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:12,205
Toby, if you...
Shut up.
476
00:16:12,272 --> 00:16:13,906
Go.
477
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,608
Sam, go back to doing
What you're doing.
478
00:16:15,675 --> 00:16:18,211
They just delivered five cartons
Of harrison's old papers.
479
00:16:18,278 --> 00:16:19,846
Then go start reading.
480
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:20,847
Toby...
481
00:16:20,913 --> 00:16:21,714
What do we know?
482
00:16:21,781 --> 00:16:23,116
What do they know?
483
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,317
Now, wait,
Hang on a second.
484
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:26,186
Josh...
You're not
Making me...
485
00:16:26,253 --> 00:16:27,954
I'm not going to be
The internal affairs
Cop around here.
486
00:16:28,021 --> 00:16:29,789
Yes, you are.
You want to know who's
Doing what around here
487
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:30,890
You ask them yourself.
488
00:16:30,957 --> 00:16:32,092
This isn't the time,
Josh.
489
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:33,493
We're taking water
Over the side.
490
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,794
And I'm not
Indifferent to that
491
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:36,029
But there is a
Principle here...
492
00:16:36,096 --> 00:16:37,164
No, there's not,
Not this week.
493
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:38,365
We've been doing this
A year.
494
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:40,167
All we've gotten is
A year older.
495
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:42,635
Our job approval's 48%
And I think that number's soft
496
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:44,571
And I'm tired
Of being the field captain
497
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:46,839
For the gang
That couldn't shoot straight!
498
00:16:46,906 --> 00:16:48,741
We're getting this done!
499
00:16:52,045 --> 00:16:52,845
What do we know?
500
00:16:52,912 --> 00:16:53,846
What do they know?
501
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:55,248
Start with me, if you want.
502
00:17:04,057 --> 00:17:06,793
( phone rings )
503
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:07,794
Hello?
504
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,696
This is sam seaborn.
505
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:17,504
What's your name?
506
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:18,305
I'm not a cop.
507
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:21,874
What's your name?
508
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:23,743
Where are you right now?
509
00:17:25,412 --> 00:17:26,979
All right,
I'm the only one in my office
510
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:28,815
But as soon
As my secretary ge...
511
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:29,816
You know what?
512
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:30,817
Hang on.
513
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:32,152
I'm on my way.
514
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,159
Ow.
515
00:17:39,226 --> 00:17:41,261
A quick confirmation's
Going to be good for us.
516
00:17:41,328 --> 00:17:42,995
Ritter says we'll get
Unanimous approval
517
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,897
Out of committee
And 90 votes in the senate.
518
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:46,233
That's a
Blowout, leo...
Mm-hmm.
519
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,500
Just what the
Doctor ordered.
520
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:48,468
Thank you.
521
00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:50,002
Morning, mrs. Landingham.
522
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:51,204
Good morning,
Mr. President.
523
00:17:51,271 --> 00:17:52,272
Both:
Good morning.
524
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:53,573
When is harrison getting in?
525
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,374
Late tonight.
526
00:17:54,441 --> 00:17:55,942
Good.
Morning, charlie.
527
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:57,144
Good morning,
Mr. President.
528
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:59,146
Peyton cabot harrison--
529
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:01,248
Find out what kind
Of cigars he likes
530
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:03,183
What kind of perfume
His wife likes
531
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,017
And have them sent
Over to their hotel, okay?
532
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:05,618
Back channels, sir?
533
00:18:05,685 --> 00:18:06,719
Yeah.
534
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:07,554
They'll stake the hotels.
535
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:08,455
Gifts coming from...
536
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:09,689
We're using back channels.
537
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:12,192
What is going on
With lillienfield?
538
00:18:12,259 --> 00:18:13,426
You're staying
Out of it.
539
00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:14,627
Fine.
540
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:15,795
Anything else?
541
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:17,264
We're going to get this done,
Right?
542
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:18,965
Yes, sir.
All right.
543
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:20,500
Mr. President....
544
00:18:20,567 --> 00:18:21,301
I'm on my way.
545
00:18:21,368 --> 00:18:22,135
Thank you,
Mr. President.
546
00:18:22,202 --> 00:18:24,337
Thank you.
547
00:18:24,404 --> 00:18:25,138
Leo...
548
00:18:25,205 --> 00:18:26,239
Yes, sir?
549
00:18:26,306 --> 00:18:27,474
We looked at everybody, right?
550
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:28,575
Sir?
551
00:18:28,641 --> 00:18:30,210
The short list--
We looked at mendoza?
552
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:31,378
We looked at him.
553
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:32,812
Leo...
We fixed
On harrison.
554
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,046
Aw, you're right.
555
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:35,582
I'll see you later.
Yes, sir.
556
00:18:36,916 --> 00:18:37,984
( sighs )
557
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:39,152
Good morning,
Gentlemen.
558
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:40,119
Sorry to keep
You waiting.
559
00:18:40,187 --> 00:18:41,120
Let's go.
560
00:18:41,188 --> 00:18:42,722
Morning. Morning.
561
00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:46,226
Hang on a second.
562
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:50,297
Morning.
563
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,498
Keep your seats.
564
00:18:51,564 --> 00:18:52,432
Good morning.
565
00:18:52,499 --> 00:18:53,733
Morning.
566
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:56,135
Morning, toby.
567
00:18:56,203 --> 00:18:57,670
Morning, sir.
Do this for me.
568
00:18:57,737 --> 00:19:00,707
Put together some information
On roberto mendoza.
569
00:19:00,773 --> 00:19:04,177
Sir, th... It's natural
To have second thoughts, but...
570
00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:05,345
I want to be able
To know something.
571
00:19:05,412 --> 00:19:06,479
There'll be a lot of questions.
572
00:19:06,546 --> 00:19:07,780
I don't want it to be like
573
00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:09,316
We had a hispanic
On the short list.
574
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:10,750
What is it you're looking for,
Sir?
575
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:12,719
The reason we didn't go
With him.
576
00:19:12,785 --> 00:19:14,921
The reason we didn't, sir,
Is 'cause harrison said, "Yes."
577
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:15,955
Let's do better than that.
578
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:17,424
Yes, sir.
579
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,492
Oh, what's going on
With this drug thing?
580
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:21,194
You don't want
A piece of that.
581
00:19:21,261 --> 00:19:22,429
All right,
I'll trust you.
582
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:24,231
Thanks.
583
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:25,097
Good morning,
Mr. President.
584
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,633
Good morning,
Sam.
585
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:27,567
Toby...
586
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:29,736
He wants me
To look at... Mendoza.
587
00:19:29,802 --> 00:19:30,537
What...?
588
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:32,505
I got a phone
Call before
589
00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:33,373
From a guy with
Some information.
590
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,807
I just picked it up.
591
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:37,109
I read it on
The way back.
It's not good.
592
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:37,944
Is it the drugs?
593
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:38,745
No.
594
00:19:38,811 --> 00:19:39,812
What is it?
595
00:19:39,879 --> 00:19:41,781
It's harrison.
596
00:19:41,848 --> 00:19:43,550
Close the door.
597
00:19:49,589 --> 00:19:51,391
Every member
Of law review
598
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:52,925
Is required
To prepare one.
599
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:54,394
It's like an article.
600
00:19:54,461 --> 00:19:55,528
It's 40 or so pages,
Well-researched
601
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:57,063
Footnoted,
And revised
602
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:59,198
With faculty supervision,
Then it's published.
603
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:00,867
Without the names.
604
00:20:00,933 --> 00:20:03,102
Without the names,
It's a scholarly work.
605
00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:04,737
How do we know harrison...?
606
00:20:04,804 --> 00:20:07,374
What, I'm supposed to just trust
"The guy on the phone"?
607
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,741
I spent the last three months
608
00:20:08,808 --> 00:20:10,343
Reading everything
Harrison's written
609
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:12,645
From decisions to memos
To amicus briefs, toby.
610
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,714
He's the author
Of the unsigned note.
611
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:20,853
Bonnie.
612
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:26,793
Yeah?
613
00:20:26,859 --> 00:20:28,127
I'm going to need
The next five minutes
614
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:29,629
The president's got.
615
00:20:29,696 --> 00:20:30,863
Yeah.
616
00:20:34,501 --> 00:20:36,503
How does lillienfield
Get his information?
617
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,671
He's on the house
Government oversight committee.
618
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:40,507
These are the people
Who literally decide
619
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:42,375
If we get heat
And electricity
In the white house.
620
00:20:42,442 --> 00:20:43,376
So they have access
621
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:44,677
To background information?
622
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:45,678
Yes.
623
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:46,679
Josh?
Yeah?
624
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,047
You shouldn't
Feel uncomfortable
625
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:49,316
About interviewing me.
626
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:52,018
I met you, I talked
To you, I hired you.
627
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,686
You know anybody
Around here
Who uses drugs?
628
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:54,587
Yes.
629
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:55,755
You want to tell
Me who they are?
630
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:56,623
No.
Good for you.
631
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:57,957
Consider yourself
Interviewed.
632
00:20:58,024 --> 00:20:59,292
You're a good boy, josh.
633
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,728
I've seen your records.
634
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:03,530
You need to learn
That "No parking"
Means "No parking."
635
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,865
The thing is, sometimes
I can't find a space.
636
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:08,435
Go to work.
637
00:21:08,501 --> 00:21:09,936
We have everyone
Take a drug test
638
00:21:10,002 --> 00:21:10,970
And be done with it.
639
00:21:11,037 --> 00:21:12,439
What makes you think
640
00:21:12,505 --> 00:21:13,740
That everyone here
Can pass a drug test?
641
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:15,274
The ones who can't
Already know it
642
00:21:15,342 --> 00:21:16,609
And will quietly resign.
643
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:18,611
Okay. Problem solved.
644
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,146
What is wrong,
In this day and age
645
00:21:20,212 --> 00:21:22,582
With demonstrating that
The white house is drug free?
646
00:21:22,649 --> 00:21:24,050
What is wrong with giving people
That comfort?
647
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,752
I would think that,
In this day and age
648
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:27,554
People would be more comfortable
649
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:30,122
Knowing that the will not now,
Nor will they ever be
650
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:32,492
Forced to turn over
Evidence against themselves.
651
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:34,827
And please, do not try
And paint your position
652
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:37,229
As anything other than
Preservation of a spotlight.
653
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,698
This thing gets bungled
654
00:21:38,765 --> 00:21:40,066
And we're not going
To have to struggle much
655
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:41,468
To find the spotlight.
656
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,676
So what do you think
Is really going on here?
657
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:51,010
I don't know.
658
00:21:51,077 --> 00:21:52,144
I don't know either.
659
00:21:52,211 --> 00:21:53,446
That's what
Makes me nervous.
660
00:21:53,513 --> 00:21:55,014
What do I do?
661
00:21:56,015 --> 00:21:57,283
It's time to talk
662
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:59,552
To whoever
It is you talk to.
663
00:22:01,354 --> 00:22:02,855
Yeah.
664
00:22:09,696 --> 00:22:11,197
Is there any
Reason to believe
665
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:14,734
That white house staffers
Regularly use illegal drugs?
666
00:22:14,801 --> 00:22:17,336
For those who didn't understand
Me the first nine times
667
00:22:17,404 --> 00:22:18,705
We are looking into this.
668
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:21,541
C.J., would
You forgive
A blunt question?
669
00:22:21,608 --> 00:22:23,309
These questions
Haven't been blunt yet?
670
00:22:23,376 --> 00:22:24,611
Do you use drugs?
671
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:26,145
No, and you're forgiven.
672
00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:27,714
It's been 24 hours
673
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,149
Since congressman lillienfield
Made his accusations.
674
00:22:30,216 --> 00:22:31,751
When is the white house...?
675
00:22:31,818 --> 00:22:33,453
We've got over 1,300 people
On the payroll, chris.
676
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,154
That's a lot of information
To gather
677
00:22:35,221 --> 00:22:37,356
And it's not like we were
Loaded with free time before.
678
00:22:37,424 --> 00:22:38,825
And let me just add that
679
00:22:38,891 --> 00:22:40,960
As no one and nothing here
Has been subpoenaed
680
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,562
And as mr. Lillienfield
Has offered nothing
681
00:22:42,629 --> 00:22:44,296
To support
His very bizarre claim
682
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,432
We're not feeling
A real need
683
00:22:45,498 --> 00:22:47,099
To get this done
In a hurry.
684
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,635
Thanks. That's all.
685
00:22:53,105 --> 00:22:54,073
Set fire to the room.
686
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:55,842
Do it now.
687
00:23:01,581 --> 00:23:02,815
How you doing?
688
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:03,783
What do you want?
689
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:05,017
It was a bit
Of a blunder back there.
690
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:06,385
It was fine.
691
00:23:06,453 --> 00:23:08,254
You challenged lillienfield
To present evidence.
692
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,321
He knows his cue
When he hears it.
693
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:10,657
I left my notebook
Somewhere.
694
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:12,459
Did you really want
To be the first person
695
00:23:12,525 --> 00:23:14,193
To use
The word "Subpoena"?
696
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:17,296
It's the only word
Anybody's going
To read tomorrow.
697
00:23:17,363 --> 00:23:18,765
I really don't need
Your tips, danny.
698
00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:20,166
As a matter of fact,
You do, c.J.
699
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:21,668
But that's
Not why I'm here.
700
00:23:21,734 --> 00:23:23,202
I'm here because
The new york knickerbockers
701
00:23:23,269 --> 00:23:24,737
Are playing
In town tomorrow night.
702
00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:26,439
I don't have time
To go to a basketball game.
703
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:27,640
Neither do I,
So we'll watch it
704
00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:29,141
In your office,
While I explain it
705
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:30,577
In a patronizing manner
706
00:23:30,643 --> 00:23:32,378
'cause it's something
Women usually like.
707
00:23:32,445 --> 00:23:34,180
Thank you anyway.
708
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:35,548
You understand
I'll talk slow
709
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:38,417
And explain it in a way
A girl would appreciate.
710
00:23:38,485 --> 00:23:40,953
Danny.
711
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:42,722
You got a minute?
712
00:23:45,458 --> 00:23:46,659
Walk me to my car.
713
00:23:50,763 --> 00:23:53,265
Josh, the information
I get, I have to print.
714
00:23:53,332 --> 00:23:54,366
Do you have any information?
715
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:55,434
No.
716
00:23:55,502 --> 00:23:56,503
Would you tell me
If you did?
717
00:23:56,569 --> 00:23:57,369
What kind
Of information?
718
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:58,571
You know what kind.
719
00:23:58,638 --> 00:23:59,839
You know no one knows
Where I got it.
720
00:23:59,906 --> 00:24:01,541
Why are you allowed
To take the high road
721
00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:03,275
And I'm supposed
To hand over any
Information I get?
722
00:24:03,342 --> 00:24:04,243
You're right.
I know I'm right.
723
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:05,411
I'm sorry about that.
724
00:24:05,478 --> 00:24:06,846
It's not my job
To help you out.
725
00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:08,915
I get fired from my job
For helping you out.
726
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:12,685
I know that.
727
00:24:12,752 --> 00:24:14,386
Lillienfield
Is a jackass
728
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:15,722
But he's not stupid.
729
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:17,323
If he's talking,
He's got something.
730
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:18,625
What?
731
00:24:18,691 --> 00:24:20,226
Whatever it is,
It's small potatoes--
732
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:22,461
Just enough to get
The rock rolling
Down the mountain.
733
00:24:22,529 --> 00:24:23,596
What's he trying to hit?
734
00:24:23,663 --> 00:24:24,597
I don't know.
735
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:25,832
Is it the nomination?
736
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:27,534
That's what
I thought, too
737
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,835
But harrison's
Going to sail by,
No matter what.
738
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:29,936
No one said
It's harrison.
739
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:32,939
Yeah, yeah.
My point is this--
740
00:24:33,005 --> 00:24:35,908
He's not going
To waste it
On a done deal.
741
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,944
He's after
Something better.
742
00:24:40,446 --> 00:24:42,381
Okay. Thanks.
743
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:44,383
Josh, this is one
744
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:45,351
Of those times, man.
745
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:48,320
Don't screw this up.
746
00:24:48,387 --> 00:24:50,857
C.J. Likes goldfish.
747
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:52,224
What?
748
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:53,593
She likes goldfish.
749
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:55,361
Can't get
Enough of them.
750
00:24:55,427 --> 00:24:56,428
Thanks.
751
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,197
Yeah.
752
00:24:58,264 --> 00:25:00,299
President:
Here's an interesting
Statement.
753
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:04,571
"I join judge black insomuch as,
While enjoying my privacy
754
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:05,905
"I am compelled to admit
755
00:25:05,972 --> 00:25:07,774
"That government has a right
To invade it
756
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,508
"Unless specifically prohibited
757
00:25:09,576 --> 00:25:12,812
By some specific constitutional
Provision."
758
00:25:12,879 --> 00:25:15,582
Mr. President, this paper is,
In no uncertain terms
759
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:17,550
An argument
That privacy is not a right
760
00:25:17,617 --> 00:25:18,985
Guaranteed by the constitution.
761
00:25:19,051 --> 00:25:20,119
Why hasn't this
Ever been brought up?
762
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:21,420
It never came up, sir.
763
00:25:21,487 --> 00:25:24,523
We spent two months
Vetting our home run nominee
764
00:25:24,591 --> 00:25:26,258
He doesn't believe
In a privacy guarantee
765
00:25:26,325 --> 00:25:27,560
And it never came up?
766
00:25:27,627 --> 00:25:28,761
It was simply
Never an issue
767
00:25:28,828 --> 00:25:29,896
In any ruling
He handed down.
768
00:25:29,962 --> 00:25:31,598
And, if I may,
Sir, we don't know
769
00:25:31,664 --> 00:25:33,132
For sure that
He's the author
Of the document.
770
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:34,366
We do know.
771
00:25:34,433 --> 00:25:35,902
If he is, we can't
Necessarily hold
772
00:25:35,968 --> 00:25:38,204
A 55-year-old man
Responsible
For something
773
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:39,572
He wrote
When he was 26.
774
00:25:39,639 --> 00:25:40,773
We won't be able
To hold him responsible
775
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,341
If we put him
On the bench
776
00:25:42,408 --> 00:25:45,144
Where, I promise you,
This issue is going to come up.
777
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:50,650
When does harrison get in?
778
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:52,018
Later tonight.
779
00:25:52,084 --> 00:25:53,786
I want him
First thing in the morning.
780
00:25:53,853 --> 00:25:55,922
Yes, sir.
When was the last time
Either of you slept?
781
00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:56,789
I don't care.
782
00:25:56,856 --> 00:25:59,091
Get ready for this.
783
00:25:59,158 --> 00:26:00,392
Yes, sir.
784
00:26:00,459 --> 00:26:02,261
Thank you, mr. President.
785
00:26:02,328 --> 00:26:03,429
Thank you, sir.
786
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,131
$17 billion isn't going to fly.
787
00:26:05,197 --> 00:26:07,834
They're going to say
It's too much at 13.5.
788
00:26:09,301 --> 00:26:11,337
Excuse me.
789
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:12,905
Give us the room.
790
00:26:17,509 --> 00:26:19,646
I want to meet mendoza.
791
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:23,215
Yes, sir.
792
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:38,064
Does mendoza know
Why he's coming here?
793
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:39,999
He thinks he's interviewing
For a place
794
00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:44,937
On the president's commission
For hispanic opportunity.
795
00:26:45,004 --> 00:26:46,706
Is there such a thing
As the president's...?
796
00:26:46,773 --> 00:26:48,607
It's the best I could do
On short notice, toby.
797
00:26:48,675 --> 00:26:50,643
Fine.
798
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:52,078
I had to make a letterhead.
799
00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:52,945
That must have taxed
800
00:26:53,012 --> 00:26:54,380
Your considerable
Creativity.
801
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:55,381
Toby.
802
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:56,615
That's fine.
803
00:26:58,584 --> 00:26:59,919
First things first.
804
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:01,654
Are you the author
Of this unsigned note?
805
00:27:07,794 --> 00:27:10,596
Well, yes, sir.
806
00:27:10,663 --> 00:27:12,631
When I was 26,
I wrote a paper
807
00:27:12,699 --> 00:27:16,235
Supporting the deregulation
Of far east trade barriers.
808
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:17,569
I nearly got thrown out
809
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:19,071
Of the london school
Of economics.
810
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:23,475
I was young and stupid,
And trying to make some noise.
811
00:27:23,542 --> 00:27:25,211
Yes, sir.
812
00:27:25,277 --> 00:27:28,014
I'm going to bring toby ziegler
And sam seaborn in here
813
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,682
And talk about this
A little bit.
814
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:30,817
That's fine, sir.
815
00:27:30,883 --> 00:27:32,885
Okay. Charlie, please?
816
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:37,589
Toby.
817
00:27:37,656 --> 00:27:38,590
Yeah?
818
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:40,092
You got
A minute?
819
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:42,161
They're about to call me in.
820
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,198
Privacy?
821
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:48,567
We don't know.
822
00:27:48,634 --> 00:27:50,870
He doesn't acknowledge
The protection?
823
00:27:50,937 --> 00:27:52,338
When were you going
To tell me this?
824
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:54,173
Number one:
I don't report to you.
825
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,542
Number two: he wrote the paper
A quarter century ago.
826
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:58,044
He hasn't changed his mind.
827
00:27:58,110 --> 00:27:59,979
We don't know
If he's changed his mind.
828
00:28:00,046 --> 00:28:02,749
You don't care whether
He changed his mind or not.
829
00:28:02,815 --> 00:28:06,418
You're painting a picture
For the president.
830
00:28:06,485 --> 00:28:08,387
The president
Can paint his own picture.
831
00:28:08,454 --> 00:28:10,456
Yeah, but he listens to you.
832
00:28:14,593 --> 00:28:18,965
When did we get the idea
That harrison was our guy?
833
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:20,332
When we
Used to talk
834
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:22,301
It was never harrison.
835
00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:26,372
Toby.
836
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:27,339
Yeah?
837
00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:28,908
They're
Ready for you.
838
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:47,526
( knocking on door )
839
00:28:47,593 --> 00:28:49,028
Leo.
Yeah?
840
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:52,031
Josh was wondering
If you had a moment.
841
00:28:52,098 --> 00:28:53,800
Yeah.
842
00:28:58,604 --> 00:28:59,671
Leo.
843
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,273
Hey.
844
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:05,912
I guess you're the guy
845
00:29:05,978 --> 00:29:10,216
With the worst job
In the building this week, hmm?
846
00:29:10,282 --> 00:29:12,318
I was interrogating
This intern
847
00:29:12,384 --> 00:29:15,054
From the legislative
Liaison's office
848
00:29:15,121 --> 00:29:16,755
And she broke
Down crying
849
00:29:16,823 --> 00:29:18,724
While telling me
About a bong
850
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:20,726
She had made
Out of an eggplant.
851
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:22,428
You can do that?
852
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:23,930
I used to use a potato.
853
00:29:23,996 --> 00:29:25,998
You've always
Been industrious.
854
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,702
Lillienfield's
Not after the kid
855
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,071
In that
Liaison's office
856
00:29:32,138 --> 00:29:35,274
And he's not even
After the senior staff.
857
00:29:35,341 --> 00:29:36,843
Yeah?
858
00:29:38,677 --> 00:29:43,715
Leo, you know that the
Worst-kept secret in washington
859
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:47,887
Is that you're
A recovering alcoholic, right?
860
00:29:48,687 --> 00:29:50,356
I had a hunch.
861
00:29:53,259 --> 00:29:57,596
Leo,
You're boston irish-catholic.
862
00:29:57,663 --> 00:29:59,031
Back there and back then
863
00:29:59,098 --> 00:30:02,768
A drinking problem
Wasn't a problem.
864
00:30:02,835 --> 00:30:05,071
This isn't what he's after.
865
00:30:06,873 --> 00:30:08,807
Were you, maybe,
Into something
866
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:12,144
That wasn't
So... Acceptable?
867
00:30:16,682 --> 00:30:19,518
Pills.
868
00:30:19,585 --> 00:30:22,054
Were you in treatment?
869
00:30:23,022 --> 00:30:26,258
Sierra tucson,
Six years ago.
870
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,293
Oh, yeah.
871
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:29,195
Records kept
By these facilities
872
00:30:29,261 --> 00:30:30,897
Are confidential,
Josh.
873
00:30:30,963 --> 00:30:32,431
He's got them.
874
00:30:39,038 --> 00:30:42,041
You're leo mcgarry.
875
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:46,112
You're not going
To be taken down by this...
876
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:48,881
Small fraction of a man.
877
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:54,386
I won't permit it.
878
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:07,533
Judges are bound to interpret
The constitution
879
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:11,537
Within the strict parameters
Of the text itself.
880
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:14,806
The constitution doesn't provide
For a right of privacy.
881
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:16,142
The right doesn't exist.
882
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:17,609
The third amendment says
883
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:19,345
Soldiers can't
Be quartered
In private homes.
884
00:31:19,411 --> 00:31:21,813
The fifth provides
Protection against
Self-incrimination
885
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,815
And the fourth against
Unreasonable searches.
886
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:26,385
Do you deny the right
To privacy lives
In those passages?
887
00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:27,519
No, I do not deny it
888
00:31:27,586 --> 00:31:30,122
But the fact that
The framers enumerated
889
00:31:30,189 --> 00:31:32,324
Those specific protections
890
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:33,759
Is all the more reason
To believe
891
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:35,027
That they had no intention
892
00:31:35,094 --> 00:31:38,064
Of making privacy
A de facto right.
893
00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:39,398
They just fought
A revolution.
894
00:31:39,465 --> 00:31:41,133
They had no question
Of their freedoms.
895
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,901
The bill of rights
Was meant to codify
896
00:31:42,969 --> 00:31:44,203
The most crucial
Of those rights
897
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:45,437
Not to limit the others.
898
00:31:45,504 --> 00:31:49,108
I do this for a living,
Mr. Seaborn.
899
00:31:49,175 --> 00:31:50,876
So do I, your honor.
900
00:31:50,943 --> 00:31:53,212
President:
Peyton, do I
Have the right
901
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:56,782
To put on an ugly
Plaid jacket and
A loud polka-dot tie
902
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:59,551
And walk down main street?
903
00:31:59,618 --> 00:32:01,220
Yes.
904
00:32:01,287 --> 00:32:03,755
And where in the constitution
Is that right guaranteed?
905
00:32:03,822 --> 00:32:05,657
First amendment,
Freedom of expression.
906
00:32:05,724 --> 00:32:09,228
What about the use of cream
In my coffee?
907
00:32:09,295 --> 00:32:11,597
Surely there can be
No free speech argument
908
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:12,764
To be made there?
909
00:32:12,831 --> 00:32:14,100
No.
910
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:16,668
So you have
No objection
To the state
911
00:32:16,735 --> 00:32:18,037
Of new hampshire passing a law
912
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,106
Banning the use of cream
In coffee?
913
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:22,541
I would have strong objection,
Mr. President
914
00:32:22,608 --> 00:32:24,210
As I like cream as well.
915
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:26,578
But I would have no
Constitutional basis
916
00:32:26,645 --> 00:32:27,980
To strike down the law
917
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:30,449
When you brought your case
To the supreme court.
918
00:32:30,516 --> 00:32:34,086
As I lose the votes
Of coffee drinkers everywhere.
919
00:32:34,153 --> 00:32:35,487
( chuckles )
920
00:32:37,723 --> 00:32:38,824
Hey.
921
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:39,825
Hey.
922
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:41,727
What are you doing?
923
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:42,594
You were right.
924
00:32:42,661 --> 00:32:43,996
I know.
925
00:32:44,063 --> 00:32:45,364
The word subpoena appears
In the lead
926
00:32:45,431 --> 00:32:46,632
In every story
In this morning's papers.
927
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:48,434
I know.
Not yours.
928
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,137
That's 'cause
I couldn't spell it.
929
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:52,204
What are you holding?
930
00:32:52,271 --> 00:32:54,506
It's a goldfish.
Why?
931
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:56,742
It's for you.
932
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,110
Really?
933
00:32:58,177 --> 00:33:00,512
Josh said you
Liked goldfish.
934
00:33:02,848 --> 00:33:05,151
( laughing )
935
00:33:09,855 --> 00:33:11,590
The crackers, danny.
936
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:15,161
The cheese things
That you have at a party?
937
00:33:15,227 --> 00:33:18,364
( laughing )
Ah. Well...
938
00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:19,331
You know what?
939
00:33:19,398 --> 00:33:20,399
I'm not a hundred
Percent sure
940
00:33:20,466 --> 00:33:21,900
I was supposed
To know that.
941
00:33:21,967 --> 00:33:23,902
The crackers, danny.
942
00:33:23,969 --> 00:33:25,604
Well, fine. Now
I got a goldfish.
943
00:33:25,671 --> 00:33:27,706
( laughing )
944
00:33:27,773 --> 00:33:28,874
Give it to me.
945
00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:30,242
No, no, no.
No, you'll kill it.
946
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:31,543
You think I can't take
Care of a goldfish?
947
00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:33,045
I absolutely do not.
948
00:33:33,112 --> 00:33:34,580
Her name's gail,
By the way.
949
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:35,581
The fish?
Yeah.
950
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:36,748
You named it gail?
951
00:33:36,815 --> 00:33:38,717
No, the guy in the store.
952
00:33:38,784 --> 00:33:39,718
( laughing )
953
00:33:39,785 --> 00:33:42,054
Oh... That's...
954
00:33:42,121 --> 00:33:43,322
Come here.
955
00:33:46,225 --> 00:33:48,394
Thanks for the fish.
956
00:33:50,196 --> 00:33:52,064
Keep your head in the game.
957
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:01,573
( laughing )
958
00:34:03,642 --> 00:34:06,312
In 1787, there was a sizable
Block of delegates
959
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,215
Who were initially opposed
To the bill of rights.
960
00:34:09,281 --> 00:34:10,949
This is what a member
Of the georgia delegation
961
00:34:11,016 --> 00:34:13,752
Had to say
By way of opposition:
962
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:15,287
"If we list a set of rights
963
00:34:15,354 --> 00:34:17,556
"Some fools in the future
Are going to claim
964
00:34:17,623 --> 00:34:19,991
"The people are entitled
Only to those rights enumerated
965
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:20,992
And no others."
966
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,328
So the framers knew...
967
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:25,297
Were you just calling me a fool,
Mr. Seaborn?
968
00:34:25,364 --> 00:34:27,133
I wasn't calling you a fool,
Sir.
969
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:28,700
The brand-new state
Of georgia was.
970
00:34:28,767 --> 00:34:32,904
Gentlemen, laws must emanate
From the constitution.
971
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:34,773
There are natural
Laws, judge.
972
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,743
I do not deny there are
Natural laws, mr. Ziegler.
973
00:34:37,809 --> 00:34:42,080
I only deny that judges are
Empowered to enforce them.
974
00:34:42,148 --> 00:34:43,615
Then who will?
975
00:34:43,682 --> 00:34:46,051
That's not up to me.
976
00:34:46,118 --> 00:34:47,519
And this sideshow is over.
977
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:49,155
With all due respect,
Mr. President
978
00:34:49,221 --> 00:34:50,956
I find this kind
Of questioning...
979
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:52,724
Very rude.
980
00:34:52,791 --> 00:34:55,194
Then you're really going to
Enjoy meeting the u.S. Senate.
981
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:59,131
Well... Be that as it may,
It's disgusting.
982
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:01,367
We all know you need me
As much I need you.
983
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:05,103
I read the same polling
Information you do.
984
00:35:05,171 --> 00:35:07,173
Seven to ten point bump
985
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,074
90 votes, unanimous
Out of committee.
986
00:35:09,141 --> 00:35:10,776
I was courted.
987
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:14,480
Now you have me taken to school
By some kid.
988
00:35:14,546 --> 00:35:17,216
That sam is young
Drives me nuts, too
989
00:35:17,283 --> 00:35:19,718
But he took you out
For a ride, sir
990
00:35:19,785 --> 00:35:22,488
Because that's what I told him
To do.
991
00:35:25,557 --> 00:35:28,093
I am an extremely
Well-credentialed man
992
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,661
Mr. President.
993
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:34,233
And I am unaccustomed
To this sort of questioning.
994
00:35:35,901 --> 00:35:37,469
I understand, peyton.
995
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:39,771
Could you give us
A little time, please?
996
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:41,740
We'll make you comfortable
While you're waiting.
997
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:42,508
Certainly.
998
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:43,709
Thank you.
999
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,148
( door closes )
1000
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:51,917
Put him on a bus.
1001
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:54,620
That's a guaranteed
Confirmation we're
Sending out the door
1002
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,955
Based on a 30-year-old
Piece of paper
1003
00:35:57,022 --> 00:36:00,025
Which, by the way,
No one will ever
Know about but us.
1004
00:36:00,091 --> 00:36:01,927
You don't think
The guy that called sam
1005
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:03,695
Would know how to call
A senator's office?
1006
00:36:03,762 --> 00:36:04,563
Mr. President
1007
00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:06,064
If this is about abortion...
1008
00:36:06,131 --> 00:36:07,399
It's not just
About abortion.
1009
00:36:07,466 --> 00:36:08,900
It's about the next 20 years.
1010
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:11,102
'20s and '30s, it was
The role of government.
1011
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:12,771
'50s and '60s,
It was civil rights.
1012
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:15,073
The next two decades
Are going to be privacy.
1013
00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:17,142
I'm talking about the internet.
1014
00:36:17,209 --> 00:36:18,210
I'm talking about cell phones.
1015
00:36:18,277 --> 00:36:19,345
I'm talking about health records
1016
00:36:19,411 --> 00:36:21,747
And who's gay and who's not.
1017
00:36:21,813 --> 00:36:25,417
And moreover, in a country born
Of the will to be free
1018
00:36:25,484 --> 00:36:27,919
What could be more fundamental
Than this?
1019
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:32,824
Toby?
1020
00:36:36,495 --> 00:36:37,863
Let's meet mendoza.
1021
00:36:41,132 --> 00:36:42,334
( knocking )
1022
00:36:43,735 --> 00:36:45,804
They're meeting with mendoza.
1023
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:48,006
Yeah.
1024
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:49,508
Yeah.
1025
00:36:49,575 --> 00:36:53,579
And I'm just going to go kill
Myself now.
1026
00:36:53,645 --> 00:36:55,414
You think mendoza would be
A bad justice?
1027
00:36:55,481 --> 00:36:56,848
I think mendoza would make
A great justice.
1028
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:59,385
I think he makes
A lousy nominee.
Why?
1029
00:36:59,451 --> 00:37:01,553
He's ruled in favor
Of same-sex marriages...
1030
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:02,888
He didn't rule
In favor of it, mandy.
1031
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:04,456
He's not recommending it.
1032
00:37:04,523 --> 00:37:06,592
He ruled that the state has
No right to interfere with it.
1033
00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:09,295
He's got the broadest
Possible interpretation
For free speech...
1034
00:37:09,361 --> 00:37:10,896
And listening to you sometimes
1035
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:12,798
I wish he'd narrow it some.
1036
00:37:12,864 --> 00:37:14,500
You don't have to
Tell me how to be
A good person.
1037
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:16,268
I'm the one who
Has to sell this
1038
00:37:16,335 --> 00:37:20,806
And he is not exactly
America's idea of
Supreme court justice.
1039
00:37:20,872 --> 00:37:24,643
Let's do a
Side-by-side
Comparison.
1040
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:27,413
Harrison went
To walnut park
Country day
1041
00:37:27,479 --> 00:37:29,648
Phillips-exeter
And princeton undergrad
1042
00:37:29,715 --> 00:37:31,082
And harvard law.
1043
00:37:31,149 --> 00:37:34,386
Mendoza attended
P.S. 138 in brooklyn
1044
00:37:34,453 --> 00:37:36,154
City university
In new york
1045
00:37:36,221 --> 00:37:38,123
And the new york
Police academy.
1046
00:37:38,189 --> 00:37:39,725
Harrison clerked
For warren burger.
1047
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:41,226
Mendoza...
1048
00:37:41,293 --> 00:37:44,029
New york city police department,
'65 to '76
1049
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:47,366
Assistant district attorney,
Brooklyn, '76 to '80.
1050
00:37:47,433 --> 00:37:49,568
Assistant u.S. Attorney,
Eastern district
1051
00:37:49,635 --> 00:37:50,669
Federal district judge...
1052
00:37:50,736 --> 00:37:52,137
But let me tell you something.
1053
00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:53,305
Mendoza went to law school
The hard way.
1054
00:37:53,372 --> 00:37:54,740
He got shot in the leg
1055
00:37:54,806 --> 00:37:57,008
And when they offered him
100 percent dispensation
1056
00:37:57,075 --> 00:37:59,811
He took a desk job instead
And went to law school at night.
1057
00:37:59,878 --> 00:38:03,248
He is brilliant, decisive,
Compassionate and experienced
1058
00:38:03,315 --> 00:38:06,017
And if you don't think that he's
America's idea of a jurist
1059
00:38:06,084 --> 00:38:08,387
Then you don't have enough faith
In americans.
1060
00:38:08,454 --> 00:38:10,221
It's not americans I
Don't have faith in, josh.
1061
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:14,526
It's the white house
Senior staff.
1062
00:38:14,593 --> 00:38:16,462
This is not going to be
An easy one.
1063
00:38:16,528 --> 00:38:18,464
And if all hell breaks loose
Over lillienfield
1064
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:21,099
It could honestly cripple us
For a year, maybe more.
1065
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:22,601
( sighs )
1066
00:38:22,668 --> 00:38:25,571
Well, I mean, just the law
Of large numbers says
1067
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:28,073
We got to win one
One of these days, right?
1068
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:29,475
Yeah.
1069
00:38:29,541 --> 00:38:32,778
So let's make it a good one.
1070
00:38:34,346 --> 00:38:36,648
I still hate you.
1071
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:39,351
Whatever.
1072
00:38:52,130 --> 00:38:53,365
Who was that?
1073
00:38:53,432 --> 00:38:54,800
Roberto mendoza.
1074
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:09,881
It's not necessary
For you to stay here.
1075
00:39:09,948 --> 00:39:11,316
The president asked
Me to stay with you
1076
00:39:11,383 --> 00:39:13,251
In case you
Needed anything.
1077
00:39:13,318 --> 00:39:15,387
I'd be glad to stay
Outside if you prefer.
1078
00:39:15,454 --> 00:39:16,688
Yes, thank you.
1079
00:39:16,755 --> 00:39:17,756
Would you like
Anything?
1080
00:39:17,823 --> 00:39:18,757
Coffee, please.
1081
00:39:18,824 --> 00:39:20,526
Yes, sir.
1082
00:39:20,592 --> 00:39:21,927
You look very familiar.
1083
00:39:21,993 --> 00:39:23,128
Is it possible we've met?
1084
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:26,798
I caddied for three
Summers at sandy hook, sir.
1085
00:39:26,865 --> 00:39:27,799
Of course.
1086
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:28,900
Charlie young.
1087
00:39:28,967 --> 00:39:30,636
Charlie, of course.
1088
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:32,404
I'll get your coffee.
1089
00:39:36,442 --> 00:39:38,744
( door closes )
1090
00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:47,252
Judge mendoza, I have
A note that your rulings
1091
00:39:47,318 --> 00:39:48,854
Have been upheld
By the court of appeals
1092
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,090
More than any other district
Judge in the country.
1093
00:39:52,157 --> 00:39:53,459
Well, that's what comes
1094
00:39:53,525 --> 00:39:56,161
From being right
Most of the time, I guess.
1095
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:59,064
( president chuckling )
1096
00:39:59,130 --> 00:40:00,231
You need me, leo?
1097
00:40:00,298 --> 00:40:01,567
For just a moment, sir.
1098
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:02,801
Would you excuse me, please?
1099
00:40:02,868 --> 00:40:04,002
Certainly.
1100
00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:15,380
Mr. President...
1101
00:40:15,447 --> 00:40:17,449
What is it, leo?
1102
00:40:17,516 --> 00:40:19,551
There's going to be trouble.
1103
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:21,186
Lillienfield?
1104
00:40:21,252 --> 00:40:22,721
Yes, sir.
1105
00:40:22,788 --> 00:40:23,855
He knows?
1106
00:40:23,922 --> 00:40:24,923
We think so.
1107
00:40:24,990 --> 00:40:25,991
We?
1108
00:40:26,057 --> 00:40:27,392
Josh has it.
1109
00:40:27,459 --> 00:40:29,528
What does josh say?
1110
00:40:29,595 --> 00:40:31,930
Get through it.
1111
00:40:31,997 --> 00:40:33,632
Josh is a smart guy.
1112
00:40:33,699 --> 00:40:36,502
No, sir.
Josh is a young guy.
1113
00:40:36,568 --> 00:40:39,304
We used to be, too.
1114
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:40,438
Mr. President...
1115
00:40:40,506 --> 00:40:41,740
Did you have
A drink yesterday?
1116
00:40:41,807 --> 00:40:42,674
No, sir.
1117
00:40:42,741 --> 00:40:43,942
Are you going to
Have one today?
1118
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:44,976
No, sir.
1119
00:40:45,043 --> 00:40:48,514
That's all you ever
Have to say to me.
1120
00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:53,418
You know it's going to make
Things very hard for a while.
1121
00:40:53,485 --> 00:40:54,820
You fought in a war.
1122
00:40:54,886 --> 00:40:58,089
You got me elected,
And you run the country.
1123
00:40:58,156 --> 00:41:01,192
I think we all owe you one,
Don't you?
1124
00:41:06,331 --> 00:41:07,298
Mr. President.
1125
00:41:07,365 --> 00:41:08,199
Did harrison
Get off okay?
1126
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:09,768
Yes, sir.
1127
00:41:09,835 --> 00:41:11,136
There's a bit of a crowd
Building up outside your office.
1128
00:41:11,202 --> 00:41:12,738
Why?
1129
00:41:12,804 --> 00:41:14,506
I think word has gotten out
What's going on in here, sir.
1130
00:41:14,573 --> 00:41:16,508
I'll bet it has.
1131
00:41:16,575 --> 00:41:18,176
Do you have any
More questions, sam?
1132
00:41:18,243 --> 00:41:20,512
No, sir.
I have one, sir.
1133
00:41:20,579 --> 00:41:23,515
Let me say this is not an easy
Commission to get appointed to.
1134
00:41:26,852 --> 00:41:28,486
Judge, without
Knowing details
1135
00:41:28,554 --> 00:41:29,821
Or special circumstances
1136
00:41:29,888 --> 00:41:31,456
What would you say
Of someone being fired
1137
00:41:31,523 --> 00:41:32,858
For refusing to
Take a drug test
1138
00:41:32,924 --> 00:41:34,560
At the order
Of the president?
1139
00:41:34,626 --> 00:41:37,162
Without details
Or special circumstances?
1140
00:41:37,228 --> 00:41:38,730
Yes, sir.
1141
00:41:38,797 --> 00:41:40,265
Without showing cause
1142
00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:43,769
I would say that the order
Constitutes an illegal search
1143
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:47,005
And I would order that
The employee be reinstated.
1144
00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:52,043
Toby?
1145
00:41:52,110 --> 00:41:53,545
Sold.
1146
00:41:59,918 --> 00:42:01,787
Judge mendoza,
Would it surprise you
1147
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:03,755
To learn
That for the past few months
1148
00:42:03,822 --> 00:42:05,657
Your name has been
On the short list of candidates
1149
00:42:05,724 --> 00:42:07,726
For the bench?
1150
00:42:07,793 --> 00:42:10,328
Yes, mr. President.
1151
00:42:10,395 --> 00:42:13,599
Well, then, this is going
To knock your socks off.
1152
00:42:13,665 --> 00:42:15,634
Tomorrow evening at 5:00
1153
00:42:15,701 --> 00:42:18,704
I am naming you
As my nominee to be
1154
00:42:18,770 --> 00:42:19,871
The next
Associate justice
1155
00:42:19,938 --> 00:42:22,540
Of the united states
Supreme court.
1156
00:42:22,608 --> 00:42:24,442
You were not
The first choice
1157
00:42:24,509 --> 00:42:26,477
But you are
The last one
1158
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:28,714
And the right one.
1159
00:42:30,982 --> 00:42:33,819
Will you accept the nomination?
1160
00:42:36,021 --> 00:42:38,456
With honor.
1161
00:42:38,523 --> 00:42:40,058
Good.
1162
00:42:40,125 --> 00:42:41,326
Thank you.
1163
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,862
Sam and toby will be in
Charge of your confirmation.
1164
00:42:43,929 --> 00:42:45,163
Congratulations, judge.
Thank you.
1165
00:42:45,230 --> 00:42:47,398
It will be an excruciating
Battle, mr. Justice
1166
00:42:47,465 --> 00:42:48,834
But one I have no
Intention of losing.
1167
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,136
What do you say, leo?
You up for a good fight?
1168
00:42:51,202 --> 00:42:53,939
I believe I have one in me.
Yes, sir.
1169
00:42:54,005 --> 00:42:54,773
Good.
1170
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,208
Let the good
Fight begin.
1171
00:43:04,449 --> 00:43:06,551
Mr. Justice mendoza!
1172
00:43:06,618 --> 00:43:09,320
( applause and cheering )
