Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:06,240
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,307 --> 00:00:08,042
The position of White House
Chief of Staff
3
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:11,445
will be filled
by Claudia Jean Cregg.
4
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:12,946
The President can always send
C.J. Cregg
5
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:16,484
to Ramallah to swat at suicide
bombers with her purse.
6
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:20,421
C.J.:
My purse!
7
00:00:20,488 --> 00:00:22,090
Page Carol! Get him the hell
out of there!
8
00:00:22,156 --> 00:00:23,491
Can I apologize again?
9
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:25,093
No, but let's move
finding my replacement
10
00:00:25,159 --> 00:00:26,727
from priority three
to priority one.
11
00:00:26,794 --> 00:00:28,829
CHARLIE:
The President
made me promise that
12
00:00:28,896 --> 00:00:30,798
when I got the degree,
I'd leave this job.
He doesn't want
13
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,933
me holding his jacket
for the rest of my life.
14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,535
You don't want
a new press secretary.
15
00:00:34,602 --> 00:00:38,272
Then who exactly do you think
is going to brief the press?
16
00:00:38,339 --> 00:00:39,307
You.
17
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:51,051
MAN:
Great car.
18
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,254
Hybrid-- wave of the future.
19
00:00:53,321 --> 00:00:54,755
The future's here.
20
00:00:54,822 --> 00:00:55,756
There's a waiting list.
21
00:00:55,823 --> 00:00:56,757
60 miles a gallon?
22
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:57,791
In the city.
23
00:00:57,858 --> 00:00:58,892
51 highway.
24
00:00:58,959 --> 00:00:59,827
Isn't that...?
25
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:01,429
Backwards, yeah.
26
00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:03,897
Electrical battery
recharges every time
you hit the brake.
27
00:01:03,964 --> 00:01:04,965
Perfect for D.C.
28
00:01:05,032 --> 00:01:06,834
The car that loves
gridlock.
29
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,068
Like Congress.
30
00:01:08,136 --> 00:01:10,238
And with gas prices
at an all-time high...
31
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,906
They're not, actually.
32
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:14,875
The record high
was in '81.
33
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:16,210
Adjusted for inflation,
34
00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:19,913
gas was $2.80 a gallon
in today's money.
35
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:21,315
Okay.
( chuckles )
36
00:01:21,382 --> 00:01:23,317
In the '50s,
prices were
equivalent
37
00:01:23,384 --> 00:01:24,218
to what they are now.
38
00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:25,486
A little more, even,
39
00:01:25,553 --> 00:01:29,022
but per capita real income
was less than half
40
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,424
what it is today.
41
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:32,660
Cost your parents
twice as much
at the pump
42
00:01:32,726 --> 00:01:34,762
as what you pay.
43
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:37,097
Grandparents,
in your case.
44
00:01:37,165 --> 00:01:38,799
You're really up
on your, uh...
45
00:01:38,866 --> 00:01:40,434
I work at the White House.
46
00:01:40,501 --> 00:01:42,403
A great statement
for a government official:
47
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:45,139
"Drive the car that reduces
our dependence on OPEC."
48
00:01:45,206 --> 00:01:46,340
Yeah, it's foreign made.
49
00:01:46,407 --> 00:01:48,976
The symbolism's kind of a wash.
50
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:50,344
$3,500 over sticker?
51
00:01:50,411 --> 00:01:52,380
Some dealers getting
$10,000 over.
52
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:55,115
So, I should just be happy
you're gouging me less?
53
00:01:55,183 --> 00:01:56,784
It's a popular package.
54
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,519
How many on your waiting list?
55
00:01:58,586 --> 00:01:59,687
Uh, 700.
56
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:01,422
Whoa!
Hmm.
57
00:02:01,489 --> 00:02:02,223
How long?
58
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:05,159
Eight months.
59
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:07,761
Want to take
a test drive?
60
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:09,463
No, I'm just...
61
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:10,698
you know...
62
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:16,136
Can I drive that?
63
00:02:16,204 --> 00:02:18,672
( engine starts )
64
00:02:26,314 --> 00:02:27,648
Congratulations.
65
00:02:27,715 --> 00:02:28,882
Thanks.
66
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:30,017
It's a long wait, huh?
67
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:31,219
Oh, worth it.
68
00:02:31,285 --> 00:02:33,521
Individuals need to
take responsibility.
69
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:35,122
The government
won't do anything
70
00:02:35,189 --> 00:02:36,824
about improving mileage.
71
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,193
It's so deep in the pockets
of the oil and car companies.
72
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:41,495
Yeah, Congress
is a nightmare.
73
00:02:41,562 --> 00:02:43,264
Bartlet's done squat.
74
00:02:43,331 --> 00:02:45,566
SALESMAN:
Mr. Lyman!
75
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,335
All set.
76
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:53,274
All right.
77
00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:55,843
Thank you.
78
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,882
I know I sound
like a dork,
79
00:03:01,949 --> 00:03:04,151
but this is way cool.
80
00:03:04,218 --> 00:03:06,487
Yeah, it's a lot
of machine.
81
00:03:06,554 --> 00:03:08,188
( engine starts )
All right.
82
00:03:08,256 --> 00:03:09,523
So, uh, easy out of the lot.
83
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:11,292
Not like I'm off-roading
in Baja?
84
00:03:11,359 --> 00:03:12,393
Not on the lot.
85
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:14,495
( tires squeal )
Whoa!
86
00:03:14,562 --> 00:03:17,565
( phone rings )
It's a lot of machine.
87
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:20,934
DONNA:
Hey.
Yeah?
88
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:22,803
McNaughton at the D triple C
needs you right away.
89
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:24,672
You should see this thing
I'm driving.
90
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:25,906
It's a monster.
91
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:26,974
What?
92
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,042
My testosterone is flying.
93
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:30,578
Try not to get any on anyone.
94
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:31,512
Uh...
95
00:03:31,579 --> 00:03:34,682
I'll put my
hands-free thing in.
96
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:35,649
What?
97
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:36,684
Hang on.
98
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,686
Look out!
Whoa!
99
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:42,022
( car alarm wailing )
100
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:43,457
Josh?
101
00:03:43,524 --> 00:03:44,792
Are you all right?
102
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:48,529
Tell McNaughton
I may be a while.
103
00:04:37,745 --> 00:04:39,980
Thank you again.
104
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:45,218
Good morning.
105
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:46,186
Hey. How was your weekend?
106
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:47,254
What weekend?
107
00:04:47,321 --> 00:04:48,556
Oh, you mean that
two-day period
108
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,358
with a giant mountain
of briefing material
109
00:04:50,424 --> 00:04:52,059
invade your domicile
instead of your office,
110
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,293
finally and completely
obliterating
111
00:04:53,361 --> 00:04:55,028
whatever desperate
and pathetic distinction
112
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:57,297
you've labored mightily
and yet foolishly
to try and maintain?
113
00:04:57,365 --> 00:04:58,799
At least you could
do it in your jammies.
114
00:04:58,866 --> 00:05:00,334
You're picturing
that, aren't you?
115
00:05:00,401 --> 00:05:02,202
A little bit.
And you?
116
00:05:02,269 --> 00:05:03,404
I don't wear
jammies.
117
00:05:03,471 --> 00:05:04,405
Your weekend.
118
00:05:04,472 --> 00:05:06,106
You know, boring.
119
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:07,174
You got nothing
to report,
120
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,242
nothing adventurous
or illicit?
121
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:10,844
Boring. Dull, even.
122
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:11,879
In your non-jammies?
123
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:13,013
You're picturing that,
aren't you?
124
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,715
Trying furiously
not to.
125
00:05:14,782 --> 00:05:16,350
You seen Toby?
126
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:19,086
He's briefing,
isn't he?
127
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:20,621
Okay, then.
128
00:05:20,688 --> 00:05:22,089
Yeah.
129
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:23,123
I have no information
130
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:25,593
on that at this time. Yeah?
131
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:26,894
The CAFE standards
amendment
132
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,062
raising auto fuel
efficiency requirements
133
00:05:29,129 --> 00:05:30,698
comes up for
House vote today.
134
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:33,401
Will the President sign the
Omnibus Transportation Bill
135
00:05:33,467 --> 00:05:34,568
without that
provision?
136
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,370
I can't speculate
on an amendment
137
00:05:36,437 --> 00:05:38,939
that hasn't been voted for
on a bill that hasn't passed.
138
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:40,641
Does anybody know
where your esteemed
139
00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:42,776
confreres might be?
140
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:45,446
Is it a press holiday
of some kind?
141
00:05:45,513 --> 00:05:47,815
H.L. Mencken's birthday?
142
00:05:47,881 --> 00:05:49,983
Anniversary
of the expense account?
143
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:54,187
( clamoring voices )
144
00:05:54,254 --> 00:05:55,188
Get out!
145
00:05:55,255 --> 00:05:56,424
REPORTERS:
C.J.!
146
00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:58,592
All of you!
You cannot be in here!
147
00:05:58,659 --> 00:05:59,660
Why couldn't you...?
148
00:05:59,727 --> 00:06:01,161
A human wave.
I was overwhelmed.
149
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:02,095
Toby is killing us.
150
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:02,996
He won't engage.
151
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:04,231
We do not do this anymore.
152
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:05,232
You really have
to leave.
153
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:06,333
We get nothing to file.
154
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,768
We're all going
to get fired.
155
00:06:07,835 --> 00:06:09,002
That's not going to be
the best argument
156
00:06:09,069 --> 00:06:10,504
to make to him or to me
at the moment.
157
00:06:10,571 --> 00:06:12,305
You got to help us.
I'll talk to him.
158
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,174
Now-- and I say this with love--
159
00:06:14,241 --> 00:06:15,809
get the hell out of my office!
160
00:06:18,512 --> 00:06:20,414
Have the rules of engagement
been finalized
161
00:06:20,481 --> 00:06:21,715
for the Mideast peacekeepers...?
162
00:06:21,782 --> 00:06:24,618
I'm looking for something
to hurl at you.
163
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,921
JOSH:
Mine-sniffing rats?
164
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:29,523
KATE:
The Gambian giant pouched rat.
165
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:30,958
You hit a Prius
with an SUV?
166
00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:34,094
Connecting my cell phone's
hands-free device.
167
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:35,262
The ironies abound.
168
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:36,329
Yeah, verily.
169
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:37,531
What happened
to training dogs?
170
00:06:37,598 --> 00:06:38,599
Dogs get bored.
171
00:06:38,666 --> 00:06:40,333
Sniffing for land mines?
172
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,069
These are some
jaded pooches.
173
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:43,236
What kind of SUV?
174
00:06:43,303 --> 00:06:44,705
A humongous one.
Excursion, Expedition,
175
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:46,507
Escalade, what?
I don't know.
One of those.
176
00:06:46,574 --> 00:06:48,976
I just wanted
to drive it.
Like a Hummer.
177
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:50,744
Wouldn't you want
to experience that once?
178
00:06:50,811 --> 00:06:51,979
Yeah, I've had
the pleasure.
179
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:52,980
It's less of a giggle
180
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:54,582
when your taking
automatic weapons fire.
181
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:56,116
I don't know how
we get funding
182
00:06:56,183 --> 00:06:57,685
for giant,
mine-sniffing rats.
183
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,453
Three of them found
20 live mines
184
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,521
in a test in
Mozambique.
185
00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:01,955
Was the Prius
just totaled?
186
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:02,990
Pretty much.
187
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:04,324
Isn't there, like,
a big waiting list?
188
00:07:04,391 --> 00:07:05,559
Just got longer.
189
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:07,360
This is hilarious,
but not actually funny.
190
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:10,197
See, and I'd say since
it's mostly expensive
and embarrassing,
191
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,533
it's funny, but not
actually hilarious.
192
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,234
You ever hear
of the Hubbert Peak?
193
00:07:14,301 --> 00:07:16,537
Does it have to do with
gradations of mirth,
194
00:07:16,604 --> 00:07:19,439
or are we back on rats
of an unusual size?
195
00:07:19,507 --> 00:07:21,041
Hubbert was a geologist
who predicted--
196
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:22,710
pretty much right
on the money--
197
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,112
when U.S. oil production
would peak and then decline.
198
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:26,547
Did he win something?
199
00:07:26,614 --> 00:07:29,517
Weekend in Shreveport?
Year's supply of Vaseline?
200
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:30,551
Oil supply's
a bell curve.
201
00:07:30,618 --> 00:07:31,585
The worldwide
Hubbert Peak
202
00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:33,020
may have already hit,
203
00:07:33,086 --> 00:07:35,122
but no one thinks it's more than
20-30 years off.
204
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:36,790
Meaning, within the lifetime
of kids today
205
00:07:36,857 --> 00:07:38,391
oil production
will plummet.
206
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:39,693
I just wanted
to drive a Hummer once.
207
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,961
And that's only
half the story.
208
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:42,496
I mean, what's
going to happen
209
00:07:42,563 --> 00:07:43,931
when everyone in the developing
world has a car?
210
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:46,066
Be a good time to be
in the insurance business.
211
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:47,167
Glass houses.
212
00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:48,368
Yeah. Point taken.
213
00:07:48,435 --> 00:07:50,070
Exploding demand
meets plummeting supply.
214
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:52,405
Whether we've ever fought
one over it up till now,
215
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,307
the next war
will be about oil.
216
00:07:54,374 --> 00:07:56,176
See ya.
217
00:07:56,243 --> 00:07:58,011
( knocking )
C.J.:
If you're coming in here with
218
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,548
one more thing to read, I will
strangle you with my bare hands
219
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:03,183
and enjoy it.
Will's here.
220
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:04,417
I can scrag him, too.
221
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:05,686
I don't doubt it.
222
00:08:05,753 --> 00:08:06,920
So I'm thinking
briefing books on tape
223
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:08,756
for in the car,
while you're jogging.
224
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:09,957
You jog?
Not anymore.
225
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:11,992
The President would like
the VP to meet
226
00:08:12,059 --> 00:08:14,795
with the NSC on the new
nuclear fallout analysis
they're coordinating.
227
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:17,030
Absolutely.
The focus is evacuation?
228
00:08:17,097 --> 00:08:18,899
Attribution,
post-event forensics.
229
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:20,634
If terrorists know
a detonation can be traced,
230
00:08:20,701 --> 00:08:21,869
they'll be less likely
to attempt it.
231
00:08:21,935 --> 00:08:23,904
Terrorists being
notably responsive
232
00:08:23,971 --> 00:08:25,906
to logic and self-interest.
233
00:08:25,973 --> 00:08:27,875
Almost sounded
important there
for a minute.
234
00:08:27,941 --> 00:08:29,977
The House just
defeated the CAFE
standards amendment.
235
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:32,445
Already?
They limited floor debate
to 20 minutes.
236
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:35,148
So the car companies won't have
to raise miles per gallon from
237
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:38,586
venti to grande.
Actually, it's the other way
around, but something like that.
238
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:39,486
Not unexpected.
239
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:40,588
Or entirely unwelcome.
240
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:41,889
Hey, hey,
that's the spirit.
241
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:43,857
Dems get credit
with enviros for favoring it,
242
00:08:43,924 --> 00:08:45,458
but the Vice President
doesn't have to defend it
243
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:46,794
with voters in Michigan.
244
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,662
Politics being
more important
than principle.
245
00:08:48,729 --> 00:08:49,963
This administration's
had seven years
246
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:51,665
to make better
fuel efficiency
a priority.
247
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,033
Seven years...
Don't take your
guilt out on me.
248
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:54,534
Seven years
of a hostile
Congress.
249
00:08:54,602 --> 00:08:56,670
And a public busy
singing "I Want My SUV."
250
00:08:56,737 --> 00:08:57,938
That's regret, not guilt.
251
00:08:58,005 --> 00:08:59,139
You don't have
the votes, you don't
252
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:00,473
have the votes.
The art of the possible.
253
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:01,642
Exactly what
Leo'd say.
254
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:02,776
I'd spend
the rest of the week
255
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:04,211
trying to decide
if sounding like
256
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:06,346
a dyspeptic 60-year-old
is an actual compliment.
257
00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:09,449
You wanted to see me?
Where are we on finding
a new press secretary?
258
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:10,684
Getting up to speed.
259
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,052
Time for a turbo boost.
260
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:14,121
No one-- and I don't mean
this unkindly--
261
00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:15,723
no one is anxious
to have you keep briefing.
262
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:17,725
Just curious,
but how'd you have put it
263
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:19,627
had you meant it unkindly?
264
00:09:21,128 --> 00:09:22,529
( knocking )
265
00:09:22,596 --> 00:09:24,765
PRESIDENT:
You're hovering.
266
00:09:24,832 --> 00:09:26,166
He's hovering.
267
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:27,234
Verging on looming.
268
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,068
And he's stalling.
269
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:28,836
I'm crafting.
270
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,470
They're just
remarks.
271
00:09:30,537 --> 00:09:32,339
People listening won't
know they're just remarks.
272
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:35,442
To them, it'll sound uncannily
like a speech.
273
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:36,810
A short speech.
274
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:38,445
The prompter guy needed
this half an hour ago.
275
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,947
You're on your own.
I am the leader
276
00:09:40,013 --> 00:09:42,182
of the free world.
People pay attention
when I speak.
277
00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:44,251
The job's not all waving
from the chopper.
278
00:09:44,317 --> 00:09:47,254
Not as good as it might be.
It's all your fault.
279
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,056
I'm prepared to live
with the verdict
of history.
280
00:09:49,122 --> 00:09:50,523
Thank you, sir.
Charlie, one sec?
281
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:51,792
Mr. President,
I wanted to remind you
282
00:09:51,859 --> 00:09:53,460
about the reception
in the East Room today.
283
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:54,795
What?
284
00:09:54,862 --> 00:09:57,230
The girls' National
Field Hockey champions.
285
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:59,366
Sir, you have to be there.
286
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:00,600
Charlie?
287
00:10:00,668 --> 00:10:01,969
I'll get him there.
Thank you.
288
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:04,872
I'm noticing a distinct
slackening of awe,
289
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:06,974
a certain lack
of trembling in my presence.
290
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,842
Yes, Mr. President.
Yes, sir.
291
00:10:09,677 --> 00:10:10,978
DONNA:
Josh?
292
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:12,479
What is it?
293
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:14,748
That gossip blog,
District Scene.
294
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:19,519
How did she get this?
295
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:20,954
Someone at the
dealer, I guess.
296
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:22,422
It's not the end
of the world.
297
00:10:22,489 --> 00:10:23,891
It's a web log.
298
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:24,758
It's not The
Washington Post.
299
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:25,826
( phone rings )
300
00:10:25,893 --> 00:10:27,060
Josh Lyman's office.
301
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,296
Yeah.
302
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:31,298
C.J.'s office... now.
303
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:32,733
TOBY:
You didn't think
it was a story?
304
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,167
It's obviously
a story.
305
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:35,669
I just didn't think
it'd become a ...
306
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:37,337
Every news organization
in this country
307
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:38,271
surfs these blogs now.
308
00:10:38,338 --> 00:10:39,840
This'll be everywhere.
309
00:10:39,907 --> 00:10:41,141
C.J.:
What possessed you?
310
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:42,009
I don't know.
311
00:10:42,075 --> 00:10:43,877
I saw it and
was taken over
312
00:10:43,944 --> 00:10:45,245
by my reptilian
brain stem.
313
00:10:45,312 --> 00:10:46,980
The press is going
to have a party with this.
314
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:48,849
Conga lines,
piñatas...
315
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:50,250
They'll have fun
and be done in a day.
316
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,185
Not the week
raising CAFE standards
317
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:55,222
goes down in the House with us
having barely put up a fight?
318
00:10:55,288 --> 00:10:56,323
I just got
a phone call
319
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:57,758
from the Alternative
Energy Resources Council
320
00:10:57,825 --> 00:10:59,292
threatening to hold
a press conference
321
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:00,928
trashing our commitment
to conservation
322
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,696
citing your little
demolition derby
as Exhibit "A."
323
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:03,731
I'll call 'em.
324
00:11:03,797 --> 00:11:04,664
You'll do better
than that.
325
00:11:04,732 --> 00:11:05,999
You're going to head up
326
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,234
the White House Task Force
on Alternative Energy.
327
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,435
What White House...?
328
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:09,703
The one I promised to
get them to hold off.
329
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:10,871
I want a meeting today
330
00:11:10,938 --> 00:11:12,072
that ends with something
announceable.
331
00:11:12,139 --> 00:11:13,540
You standing with people
in Birkenstocks
332
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:14,942
in front of the press.
Birkenstocks...
333
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:17,144
And bicycle clips.
334
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:19,146
Yeah.
335
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:22,582
Bicycle clips?
336
00:11:22,649 --> 00:11:25,118
For your pants.
337
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,187
You got a...?
338
00:11:27,254 --> 00:11:28,121
Yeah.
339
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,257
Not counting today--
today was, uh...
340
00:11:30,323 --> 00:11:32,592
I don't know what today was--
but the briefings?
341
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:33,927
Yeah, they're
getting better.
342
00:11:33,994 --> 00:11:35,963
Good. On a scale
of one to ten--
343
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:38,198
ten being C.J. and one being
a chimp throwing feces--
344
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:39,666
where do I rank?
345
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,634
They're getting better.
346
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,603
I gotta go get
my ass kicked.
347
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:44,972
Yeah, me, too.
348
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,441
Congressmen... woman.
349
00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:51,678
Does this President believe
fuel efficiency standards
should be raised?
350
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:53,146
We're dispensing
with the small talk.
351
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:54,547
LACKEY:
Answer the question.
352
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:56,116
It's a shame, 'cause
I'd been hoarding
353
00:11:56,183 --> 00:11:58,518
amusing anecdotes,
mordant observations...
354
00:11:58,585 --> 00:12:00,387
GLEESON:
This administration's
environmental record
355
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:02,756
is an embarrassment
to its party and a betrayal
356
00:12:02,823 --> 00:12:04,691
of its supporters.
357
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:05,893
Mordant enough for you?
358
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,260
"Betrayal, embarrassment,"
359
00:12:07,327 --> 00:12:09,029
it's that kind
of temperate rhetoric
360
00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:11,498
that so endears the green
movement to the electorate.
361
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:12,766
You rolled over.
362
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:13,867
JOSH:
We did the
arithmetic!
363
00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:14,868
Any increase in CAFE standards
364
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:15,702
wasn't going to happen.
365
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:16,536
Josh,
366
00:12:16,603 --> 00:12:17,637
you rolled over.
367
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:18,839
An eight-year-old
can count heads.
368
00:12:18,906 --> 00:12:19,940
This is supposed to be
about leadership.
369
00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:21,842
Leaders avoid losing battles.
370
00:12:21,909 --> 00:12:23,376
You live to fight another day.
371
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:25,212
LACKEY:
You're missing
the point, Josh.
372
00:12:25,278 --> 00:12:26,847
Nobody thought we were
going to win this one.
373
00:12:26,914 --> 00:12:28,415
But you've made it
easy for them.
374
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:30,483
AUREN:
Seat belts, air bags,
the first
375
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:31,985
fuel economy standards--
376
00:12:32,052 --> 00:12:33,921
the auto industry
had to be dragged kicking
377
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:35,222
and screaming
into all of them.
378
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:36,289
GLEESON:
They didn't go
out of business.
379
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:37,424
They figured it out.
380
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,591
LACKEY:
When the White House
doesn't lead
381
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:39,993
on fuel mileage,
382
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:42,629
opponents get to cast
their vote at no cost.
383
00:12:42,695 --> 00:12:43,864
We don't just lose a vote,
384
00:12:43,931 --> 00:12:45,632
we lose out
on a national debate.
385
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:48,168
LACKEY:
Making it that much harder
to win the next vote.
386
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:49,937
This isn't a poli-sci seminar!
387
00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:52,772
We didn't have the votes!
388
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Thank you
389
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:54,975
all for your time.
390
00:12:57,177 --> 00:12:58,611
Well?
391
00:12:58,678 --> 00:12:59,813
And a pleasant good morning
to you.
392
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,214
You find someone?
393
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,350
Slept extremely well,
thank you so much for asking.
394
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:05,853
Well, sleep less and get us a
new press secretary, will you?
395
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:06,987
I'm sorry.
396
00:13:07,054 --> 00:13:08,488
When you asked
me to do this,
397
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:10,190
I didn't realize
you expected me
to find someone
398
00:13:10,257 --> 00:13:11,758
by the first hour of
the first morning of
my first day.
399
00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:12,993
The sooner you get someone,
400
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:14,594
the sooner I can stop
doing briefings.
401
00:13:14,661 --> 00:13:16,997
I told you, your doing them
for a while is a good thing.
402
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:18,231
Well, I'm glad someone
doesn't think
403
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:19,732
they're a total train wreck.
404
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,202
Oh, no, they're horrible.
But I can help you.
405
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:24,704
Help me by doing the job
you were hired for,
406
00:13:24,771 --> 00:13:27,841
and find us a new
press secretary.
407
00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:30,010
Settling in just fine.
408
00:13:30,077 --> 00:13:31,711
But the muffin basket,
the flowers...
409
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:32,846
it's too much.
410
00:13:32,913 --> 00:13:34,314
JOSH:
Donna!
411
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:35,815
Get some alternative energy
spokespeople in here
412
00:13:35,883 --> 00:13:37,717
for a meeting
right away.
You mean...
413
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:41,588
Wind, solar, hamsters
in wheels, whatever's
out there-- today.
414
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:42,622
You have that...
415
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:45,525
Cancel it.
This takes priority.
416
00:13:45,592 --> 00:13:46,659
Hey, Donna.
417
00:13:46,726 --> 00:13:48,228
Hey. Was Josh
expecting you?
418
00:13:48,295 --> 00:13:50,330
Actually,
I came by to see you.
419
00:13:50,397 --> 00:13:51,564
How you doing?
420
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:52,832
Good. I'm good.
421
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:54,601
How soon before
you're out of that cast?
422
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,303
Soon. I can't wait.
I bet.
423
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,607
Look, we don't know
each other that well,
424
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,542
but if you ever
want to talk...
425
00:14:02,609 --> 00:14:03,810
Thanks, but I...
426
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:06,046
I'm sure you've spoken
to somebody,
427
00:14:06,113 --> 00:14:08,048
but I just thought, if you
ever wanted someone...
428
00:14:08,115 --> 00:14:09,917
another woman...
I don't know.
429
00:14:09,983 --> 00:14:12,953
Is this completely
inappropriate?
430
00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:14,754
No, no, it's fine.
431
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:16,789
It's just, I've been
around the sort of
thing you went through.
432
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,191
I appreciate your concern.
433
00:14:18,258 --> 00:14:19,526
Okay.
434
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:22,195
Well, if you ever want to.
435
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:23,931
I should really get back to...
436
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:26,199
Okay.
437
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:34,474
He's sure he's up to it?
438
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:35,308
Said so.
439
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:36,243
He's not just being polite?
440
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:37,577
I'm sorry-- Leo...?
441
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:38,578
He has a courtly side.
442
00:14:38,645 --> 00:14:39,679
Not with me.
443
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:40,948
Don't want to overtax him.
444
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:42,215
He would've said.
445
00:14:42,282 --> 00:14:43,750
A car will pick up the food,
446
00:14:43,816 --> 00:14:46,219
then swing by to take you
over to his hotel at 1:00.
447
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:47,020
Great.
448
00:14:47,087 --> 00:14:48,521
He asked if you play chess.
449
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:50,457
Chess? Not really.
450
00:14:50,523 --> 00:14:52,325
I'll let him know.
451
00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:55,162
JOSH:
Get this woman on the phone.
452
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,896
TOBY:
You didn't think to mention
someone had a camera?
453
00:14:56,964 --> 00:14:57,864
There was no camera.
454
00:14:57,931 --> 00:14:59,399
Well, there's a picture.
455
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:00,867
Just was a guy, his wife,
and his teenage daughter.
456
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:02,369
That was it.
Daughter have
a cell phone?
457
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:04,704
Josh Lyman's office
calling, please.
458
00:15:04,771 --> 00:15:05,872
One moment, please.
459
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:07,807
TOBY:
I wouldn't do this.
460
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:10,677
This is Josh Lyman,
and this is off the record.
461
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:12,212
She's not a...
462
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:13,680
There may be more disreputable
ways to make a living
463
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:16,183
than trafficking in gossip
and clandestine photos,
464
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:18,151
but none spring to mind.
465
00:15:18,218 --> 00:15:21,488
My and this administration's
environmental bona fides
466
00:15:21,554 --> 00:15:22,855
are well established.
467
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,857
To use this incident
to imply otherwise
468
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,826
is scurrilous
and irresponsible--
469
00:15:26,893 --> 00:15:29,963
cheap and easy irony
from what I can only surmise
470
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:32,899
is a cheap and shallow person.
471
00:15:32,966 --> 00:15:33,967
WOMAN:
How do you spell scurrilous?
472
00:15:34,034 --> 00:15:35,602
I said this was off the record.
473
00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:36,836
She's not a journalist.
474
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:38,171
You're gonna post this?
475
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:42,175
She's posting it now.
476
00:15:48,181 --> 00:15:50,050
CHARLIE:
He made the sushi...?
477
00:15:50,117 --> 00:15:51,118
PRESIDENT:
It's his hobby.
478
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:52,485
Nothing against
the ambassador,
479
00:15:52,552 --> 00:15:53,720
but I don't want
my raw fish prepared
480
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,155
by anyone
but a professional.
481
00:15:55,222 --> 00:15:57,157
Said you're not supposed
to use a lot of wasabi.
482
00:15:57,224 --> 00:15:59,326
Said it's considered
disrespectful.
483
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:00,293
To the fish.
484
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,861
Isn't it pretty much
past caring?
485
00:16:01,928 --> 00:16:04,364
And there's such a thing
as sushi being too fresh.
486
00:16:04,431 --> 00:16:05,132
Not for me.
487
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:07,934
You need to age the fish.
488
00:16:08,001 --> 00:16:09,969
So the rigor mortis
has time to pass.
489
00:16:10,037 --> 00:16:11,304
I knew you were going
to ruin it for me.
490
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:14,207
ALL:
Surprise!
491
00:16:21,148 --> 00:16:22,515
A little bird told me.
492
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:23,783
ZOEY:
Tweet.
493
00:16:23,850 --> 00:16:24,951
Congratulations.
494
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:25,952
Thank you,
Mr. President.
495
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:27,087
You know what this means, right?
496
00:16:27,154 --> 00:16:27,987
Yes, sir.
497
00:16:28,055 --> 00:16:29,622
Enjoy your party.
498
00:16:29,689 --> 00:16:34,427
I think everyone's blocked off
all of eight minutes.
499
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:36,329
Way to go, Charlie.
Congratulations.
500
00:16:36,396 --> 00:16:37,264
Thanks, man.
501
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,099
God, how did you do it?
502
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:41,368
MARGARET:
I don't even have time to learn
how to program my TiVo.
503
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:42,802
When it's the President
of the United States
504
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,038
asking if you did your homework,
it gets done.
505
00:16:45,105 --> 00:16:46,939
I'm glad you told me.
506
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:48,875
I just hope he is.
507
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:50,443
I gotta get back to work.
508
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,951
...totaled a hybrid
with an SUV.
509
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:00,487
He's like an eco-terrorist
in reverse.
510
00:17:00,553 --> 00:17:02,122
We'll be sure to point
that out to the press.
511
00:17:02,189 --> 00:17:03,656
What do you need?
512
00:17:03,723 --> 00:17:05,492
Draft a release about the
alternative energy summit
513
00:17:05,558 --> 00:17:06,693
Josh is holding
this afternoon.
514
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:07,694
Mm, that's not gonna work.
515
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,329
Which I don't recall asking.
516
00:17:09,396 --> 00:17:11,798
No meeting's gonna counteract
the symbolism of that accident.
517
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:13,100
You need to laugh it off.
518
00:17:13,166 --> 00:17:15,802
Refer questions to the
Department of Metaphor.
519
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:19,239
Put out a statement
from the Undersecretary
for Whimsy and Caprice.
520
00:17:19,306 --> 00:17:20,807
( weak laugh )
521
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,542
Just draft the release.
522
00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:24,177
Will you be briefing?
523
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:26,379
I imagine.
524
00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:30,150
What?
525
00:17:30,217 --> 00:17:31,017
How do you get women?
526
00:17:31,084 --> 00:17:32,185
Excuse me?
527
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:33,886
Briefing the press
is a seduction.
528
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:35,155
You've got a hot ex.
529
00:17:35,222 --> 00:17:36,156
How'd you get her?
Get out of my office.
530
00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:37,324
Know what she says?
531
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:38,625
Oh, my God.
You called Andy...
532
00:17:38,691 --> 00:17:39,826
Smart and funny.
533
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:40,560
That's how guys who--
534
00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:44,197
no offense--
535
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:45,665
Are you trying to get fired?
536
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:46,799
I'm trying to help you.
537
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:48,568
That Mencken line this morning
was funny.
538
00:17:48,635 --> 00:17:50,603
No one laughed
'cause you flung it at them.
539
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:53,906
Briefing the press isn't
a seduction, it's war.
540
00:17:53,973 --> 00:17:57,377
What C.J. did for seven years
wasn't combat.
541
00:17:57,444 --> 00:18:00,380
It was charm and disarm.
542
00:18:00,447 --> 00:18:02,315
Just draft the release.
543
00:18:02,382 --> 00:18:04,217
Smart and funny.
Seduce them.
544
00:18:04,284 --> 00:18:06,085
Worked on your wife.
We're divorced.
545
00:18:06,153 --> 00:18:07,887
Living with you's
a whole another ballgame.
546
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:09,356
I get that already.
547
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:10,257
C.J.:
Charlie.
548
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:11,858
Thanks, C.J.,
549
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,293
for whatever part you
played in that back there.
550
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,328
I showed up and ate
too many corn chips.
551
00:18:15,395 --> 00:18:16,929
Leo e-mailed me
something about
552
00:18:16,996 --> 00:18:18,631
reminding the President
to play chess.
553
00:18:18,698 --> 00:18:21,134
He and Leo played
weekly chess games.
554
00:18:21,201 --> 00:18:22,802
Okay...
555
00:18:22,869 --> 00:18:23,803
What did Leo say about it?
556
00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:25,138
Just to remind him.
557
00:18:25,205 --> 00:18:27,440
I guess that's
just it then.
558
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:28,841
Yeah.
559
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:30,143
C.J.
560
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:31,544
Mr. Vice President.
561
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,012
How are you adjusting
to the new job?
562
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:34,514
It's an adjustment.
563
00:18:34,581 --> 00:18:36,048
I got to admit I was surprised
when I first heard--
564
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,450
we all were-- but, uh,
565
00:18:37,517 --> 00:18:38,785
the more I thought about it,
it started making sense.
566
00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:40,019
Thanks.
567
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:41,921
Leo was Leo, no one
expects you to be him.
568
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:43,156
But you'll find your way.
569
00:18:43,223 --> 00:18:44,891
I'm finding it,
actually.
570
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,326
Just want you to know
that I'm here to help.
571
00:18:46,393 --> 00:18:47,660
I appreciate that, sir.
572
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,229
I look forward to working
more closely with you.
573
00:18:49,296 --> 00:18:51,097
As do I, Mr.
Vice President.
574
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:53,032
I work well
with strong women.
575
00:18:53,099 --> 00:18:54,100
Good to know.
576
00:18:54,167 --> 00:18:56,836
My mother...
strong woman.
577
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:58,137
Well, there you go.
578
00:18:58,205 --> 00:19:00,240
If you'll excuse me.
579
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:03,210
WILL:
This where I might find
580
00:19:03,276 --> 00:19:05,178
the "puling poster boy
for Bartlet's
581
00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:06,446
indifferent energy policy"?
582
00:19:06,513 --> 00:19:09,015
I was shopping for a Prius.
Just performing
583
00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:10,116
your own crash test.
584
00:19:10,183 --> 00:19:11,384
A joke the
blogger missed.
585
00:19:11,451 --> 00:19:12,785
Maybe you should
shoot her an e-mail.
586
00:19:12,852 --> 00:19:15,722
You just had the quintessential
consumer experience.
587
00:19:15,788 --> 00:19:17,957
Your head said hybrid
but your heart said SUV.
588
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:20,126
Reptilian brain's
what I've been going with.
589
00:19:20,193 --> 00:19:21,728
It's not like
people want them
590
00:19:21,794 --> 00:19:23,830
because they get lousy mileage.
That's the argument
591
00:19:23,896 --> 00:19:25,565
for mandating higher mileage
standards.
592
00:19:25,632 --> 00:19:27,900
No one's saying
it's the wrong argument.
593
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:29,602
( heavy sigh )
594
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:31,170
You've got a pretty tight
relationship
595
00:19:31,238 --> 00:19:33,005
with Michael Hirsch, yes?
596
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,106
People in show business
597
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,775
are charming for a living.
598
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:39,078
I'm one of his four or five
thousand closest buds, yeah.
599
00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:39,946
Close enough to make a call?
600
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:41,381
For the Vice President?
601
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:42,849
You're one of the few
around here who doesn't
602
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,183
regard him with disdain.
603
00:19:44,251 --> 00:19:45,918
Or at least
has the courtesy to hide it.
604
00:19:45,985 --> 00:19:47,420
The Hollywood support's
all going to Baker.
605
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:49,055
He's raised enough money
out there
606
00:19:49,121 --> 00:19:50,122
to start green lighting movies.
607
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,791
Governor Baker hasn't declared.
608
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:53,560
But he's still
the front runner--
609
00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:55,395
I mean, no offense to your guy.
610
00:19:55,462 --> 00:19:57,397
It'd be great
if you'd make a call.
611
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,232
Let me get back to you.
612
00:19:59,299 --> 00:20:01,501
Mm-hmm. Sure.
613
00:20:01,568 --> 00:20:03,503
Yeah, Hirsch has a hybrid.
614
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:05,305
Typical Hollywood--
drives his Prius
615
00:20:05,372 --> 00:20:06,773
right up to his private jet.
616
00:20:08,675 --> 00:20:11,177
PRESIDENT:
I'm about to go into a meeting
with the Commerce Secretary--
617
00:20:11,244 --> 00:20:12,845
a man so soporific,
618
00:20:12,912 --> 00:20:16,549
one shouldn't operate heavy
machinery in his presence.
619
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:18,885
A meeting that would feel
interminable at three minutes,
620
00:20:18,951 --> 00:20:21,954
is certain to stretch into a
soul-annihilating 50 minutes--
621
00:20:22,021 --> 00:20:24,591
presenting, therefore,
a perfect opportunity
622
00:20:24,657 --> 00:20:26,759
for you to get started
on the particular errand
623
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:28,861
pertaining to your
post-graduate career.
624
00:20:30,997 --> 00:20:33,132
Fiderer prepared them.
I'd check for typos.
625
00:20:33,199 --> 00:20:34,534
Thank you, sir.
626
00:20:34,601 --> 00:20:38,104
Now let's get to work
and fatten up that resume.
627
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:40,373
Yes, Mr. President.
628
00:20:46,346 --> 00:20:47,747
DONNA:
Meeting's set.
629
00:20:47,814 --> 00:20:50,182
Representatives from solar,
ethanol, hydrogen, and wind.
630
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:51,718
Copy Toby on the roster.
631
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,185
Did you know,
when we run out of oil,
632
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:55,154
it'll precipitate
a global food crisis?
633
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:56,289
Don't you start.
634
00:20:56,356 --> 00:20:57,324
Fossil fuels
are key components
635
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:58,858
of fertilizers
and pesticides,
636
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:01,127
not to mention the fuel
used in farm machinery
637
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:02,462
and for irrigation.
638
00:21:02,529 --> 00:21:04,631
Said the woman with
the electric wheelchair.
639
00:21:04,697 --> 00:21:06,132
I've given it up.
You've inspired me
640
00:21:06,198 --> 00:21:08,034
with your profound commitment
to renewable energy.
641
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,603
You know, the SUV came
through without a scratch.
642
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:12,038
You're going to hell.
643
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:13,573
MARGARET:
C.J.,
644
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,842
this is Gail Addison,
from the Office of
Administration.
645
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:16,943
Hello.
646
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:18,445
She's here about
changing over your office.
647
00:21:18,511 --> 00:21:19,679
To a day spa, I hope.
648
00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:20,947
I don't know how you
prefer to approach
649
00:21:21,013 --> 00:21:22,749
your space-- if you
have a vision or
650
00:21:22,815 --> 00:21:24,451
would like to be
provided options.
651
00:21:24,517 --> 00:21:26,886
At the moment,
I prefer not to think about it.
652
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:27,987
Then I'm happy to.
653
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:29,155
And have you
not think about it either.
654
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:30,557
I'm sorry?
655
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:31,491
I'll have Margaret
call you once I'm
656
00:21:31,558 --> 00:21:34,794
more settled in.
Thanks.
657
00:21:34,861 --> 00:21:35,628
JOSH:
Hey...
658
00:21:35,695 --> 00:21:36,729
Baker's running, right?
659
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:37,930
Yeah.
660
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:40,400
And he'll have it wrapped up
by Super Tuesday.
661
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:43,636
Will asked me to
call Mickey Hirsch.
662
00:21:43,703 --> 00:21:45,271
He thinks
Baker's not gonna run?
663
00:21:45,338 --> 00:21:47,407
The Vice President'd be out
there virtually unopposed.
664
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:48,875
President Russell.
665
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:50,943
You worry he'd win.
I worry he'd lose.
666
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:53,646
A Republican administration
and a GOP Congress?
667
00:21:53,713 --> 00:21:54,981
They'd dismantle
everything
668
00:21:55,047 --> 00:21:56,182
we've accomplished
in eight years.
669
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:57,183
Baker's gonna run.
670
00:21:57,249 --> 00:21:59,085
Yeah.
671
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:00,653
Hey, how do you get women?
672
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,954
Huh...?
673
00:22:02,021 --> 00:22:03,790
Smart and funny... right?
674
00:22:03,856 --> 00:22:07,527
Plus, I got that, you know,
boyish thing.
675
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:08,995
I don't have that.
676
00:22:09,061 --> 00:22:10,162
Yeah.
677
00:22:10,229 --> 00:22:11,063
( heavy sigh )
678
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,432
Okay.
679
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:25,244
More and more charities playing
loosely with contributions.
680
00:22:25,311 --> 00:22:27,547
Blessings for
the not-so-unfortunate.
681
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:28,481
What else?
The CAFE standards
682
00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:30,417
amendment went down.
683
00:22:30,483 --> 00:22:34,654
That was fast.
684
00:22:34,721 --> 00:22:37,189
longer than that to decide
what to order for takeout.
685
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:39,559
Quick reconciliation.
Bill to sign by Wednesday.
686
00:22:39,626 --> 00:22:42,294
Yeah.
Oh, and Josh
hit a Prius
687
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,431
with a Land Cruiser
or something.
688
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:46,365
We're handling it.
689
00:22:46,433 --> 00:22:48,134
We done?
Yes, sir. Thank you,
Mr. President.
690
00:22:50,302 --> 00:22:51,838
Oh, sir, I'm sorry.
691
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:54,607
Leo mentioned to remind
you to play chess.
692
00:22:54,674 --> 00:22:56,609
Please tell Leo,
when he's healthy enough
693
00:22:56,676 --> 00:22:58,244
to come back
and give me a game,
694
00:22:58,310 --> 00:23:00,847
I'll be glad
to school him at chess.
695
00:23:00,913 --> 00:23:03,583
Thank you, sir.
696
00:23:05,518 --> 00:23:07,253
Josh, got a moment?
697
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:08,621
Sure.
698
00:23:08,688 --> 00:23:10,222
The President and I
had an understanding--
699
00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:11,491
actually,
700
00:23:11,558 --> 00:23:12,859
it was more of an
executive order--
701
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:15,127
that once I graduated,
I'd look for
702
00:23:15,194 --> 00:23:17,664
what he calls a "real" job.
703
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:19,065
So I'm handing
out résumés...
704
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:21,901
Great.
...that I'd like
you to ignore.
705
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:24,537
Okay.
I don't want to
leave the President.
706
00:23:24,604 --> 00:23:26,172
Especially now that
he's without Leo.
707
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:27,874
Not that I compare myself to...
708
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,476
I understand.
709
00:23:29,542 --> 00:23:31,778
Here, I'll...
710
00:23:31,844 --> 00:23:35,081
put it in a safe place
in case you change your mind.
711
00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:36,683
Thanks.
712
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,789
The Alternative Energy release.
713
00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:44,323
So what else?
714
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:47,126
Smart and funny, that's
the sum total of your
vaunted expertise?
715
00:23:47,193 --> 00:23:49,095
You could wear
a little makeup.
716
00:23:49,161 --> 00:23:51,397
Oh, geez.
That'll happen.
You want my help?
717
00:23:51,464 --> 00:23:53,132
Not if it involves
makeup, wardrobe
718
00:23:53,199 --> 00:23:56,669
or alternative
facial hair strategies.
Body language.
719
00:23:56,736 --> 00:24:00,072
What about it?
Projecting comfort
and command.
720
00:24:00,139 --> 00:24:01,240
I don't do that?
721
00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:03,175
One might say.
722
00:24:08,414 --> 00:24:10,950
So what do I...
!
Follow me.
723
00:24:17,056 --> 00:24:19,458
And, personally, the way
you trim your beard?
724
00:24:19,526 --> 00:24:21,327
Little fussy.
725
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:23,663
KATE:
I'd be happy to brief
the Vice President.
726
00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:26,232
How often?
Occasionally--
a continent
at a sitting.
727
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:29,068
I assume he's pretty much
got a handle on North America.
728
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:31,070
There's the
odd confusion,
that's all.
729
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:33,640
Sudan and Somalia.
Iran, Iraq.
730
00:24:33,706 --> 00:24:35,608
You're kidding.
One time.
731
00:24:35,675 --> 00:24:37,076
Actual confusion
or slips of the tongue?
732
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:39,211
Well, we won't presume
for these purposes.
733
00:24:39,278 --> 00:24:41,748
He knows Pakistan's
the Muslim one
and India's Hindu?
734
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:43,550
Of course.
I'm just trying
to calibrate.
735
00:24:43,616 --> 00:24:45,718
I wouldn't bet the
farm on Bangladesh.
736
00:24:45,785 --> 00:24:47,654
Okay.
And he has a little
trouble with the whole
737
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,321
Shiite/Sunni thing.
738
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:51,057
We should start
right away.
That's what I'm thinking.
739
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:52,759
I'll come by
end of the day.
Great.
740
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:54,861
And bring my flashcards.
JOSH:
What?
741
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:55,895
Nothing.
742
00:24:55,962 --> 00:24:57,530
You know why people
buy hybrids?
743
00:24:57,597 --> 00:25:00,900
I mean, aside
from smugness and
moral superiority?
744
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:03,770
Funny, I was going
to say "conscience"
and "civic responsibility."
745
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:05,538
'Cause they think gas prices
are too high.
746
00:25:05,605 --> 00:25:06,873
You know why
they buy SUVs?
747
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:08,274
'Cause they're not.
748
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,110
Record high was in '81--
adjusted for inflation,
749
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:13,412
gas was $2.80 a gallon
in today's money.
750
00:25:13,479 --> 00:25:15,582
That's the only way
you'll get real conservation.
751
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:16,816
Hold an economic gun
to their heads.
752
00:25:16,883 --> 00:25:17,984
That's why we should slap
753
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:19,786
a three-bucks-a-gallon tax
on gasoline.
754
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:21,520
Ah, there's
a popular position.
755
00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:23,956
Wait till gas lines come back,
see how popular that'll be.
756
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:25,858
I'm about to solve
the whole problem.
757
00:25:25,925 --> 00:25:27,493
Your Alternative
Energy Summit.
758
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,997
The children of
your villages will
sing my name.
759
00:25:31,063 --> 00:25:33,900
Hello. Thank you all
for coming.
760
00:25:33,966 --> 00:25:35,668
Particularly
on such short notice.
761
00:25:35,735 --> 00:25:37,670
I've been waiting
to have this meeting
762
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:39,105
for seven years.
Then...
763
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:40,707
let's get right to making up
for lost time.
764
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:43,142
If we could go around the table.
Terry Anders,
765
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:44,443
the Solar Cell Project.
766
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:46,178
Riley Sheets, Ethanol Works.
767
00:25:46,245 --> 00:25:47,714
Wind Now,
Corinne McKenna.
768
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:49,716
Paul Tyminski,
Hydrogen Caucus.
769
00:25:49,782 --> 00:25:52,351
And I've been waiting
a while for this, too.
770
00:25:52,418 --> 00:25:53,953
You guys sound like my mother.
771
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:55,988
When I call, all she does
is complain how I never call.
772
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:57,790
I'll try to keep
everybody straight.
773
00:25:57,857 --> 00:26:00,292
I should've made
little symbols--
774
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,161
picture of the sun,
ear of corn,
775
00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:05,064
cloud blowing out its cheeks,
and for hydrogen, uh...
776
00:26:05,131 --> 00:26:05,932
The Hindenburg.
777
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:07,233
Hydrogen didn't cause
778
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:08,100
the Hindenburg fire.
779
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:08,901
It was the aluminum
780
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:10,302
powder coating.
Really?
781
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:12,371
Stuff's used
as rocket fuel.
But hydrogen is
782
00:26:12,438 --> 00:26:13,606
extremely flammable.
783
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:14,874
TYMINSKI:
So's gasoline.
Okay...
784
00:26:14,941 --> 00:26:16,743
Did she say flammable?
She meant combustible.
785
00:26:16,809 --> 00:26:18,310
Guys...
Hydrogen
burns with
786
00:26:18,377 --> 00:26:20,613
a colorless flame--
the Hindenburg burned red.
787
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,580
Where's your humanity?
788
00:26:21,648 --> 00:26:23,082
Okay, then...
789
00:26:23,149 --> 00:26:25,351
( tapping pen )
790
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:27,453
( smacks lips )
791
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,788
This is your room.
792
00:26:28,855 --> 00:26:30,690
You're not venturing
onto their turf,
793
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,324
they're treading onto yours.
794
00:26:32,391 --> 00:26:33,860
You have to own it.
795
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:36,028
You didn't really
just say "own it."
796
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:39,531
I'll show you
what you look like up here.
797
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,033
Thanks. Helpful.
798
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,702
Smart and funny.
799
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:44,536
Come here. Come here.
800
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:46,639
You try it.
801
00:26:52,044 --> 00:26:54,246
( quietly ):
"Good afternoon."
802
00:26:54,313 --> 00:26:55,614
Good afternoon.
803
00:26:55,682 --> 00:26:57,283
"I'll take your questions."
804
00:26:57,349 --> 00:26:58,417
I'll take your questions.
805
00:26:58,484 --> 00:26:59,418
Okay, you look like
806
00:26:59,485 --> 00:27:00,753
you loathe this.
807
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:02,822
Like you cannot wait
to get out the door.
808
00:27:02,889 --> 00:27:05,157
I wonder why.
You're literally
hunching over.
809
00:27:05,224 --> 00:27:07,093
You need to lean back.
810
00:27:07,159 --> 00:27:09,161
Not too much--
you don't want to look
811
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:10,262
hostile and pugnacious.
812
00:27:10,329 --> 00:27:13,299
I don't?
'Kay, relax your hands.
813
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:15,702
Look up. Look up.
814
00:27:15,768 --> 00:27:18,137
Okay, now...
815
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:18,971
how does that feel?
816
00:27:19,038 --> 00:27:20,472
Like a poodle in a dog show.
817
00:27:20,539 --> 00:27:21,540
Let's try it again.
818
00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:23,609
This time...
819
00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:25,978
with more confidence.
820
00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:29,682
Good afternoon.
821
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:31,317
( clears throat )
822
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:33,686
I can't do this.
823
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:42,494
ANDERS:
Solar energy is,
very simply, the answer.
824
00:27:42,561 --> 00:27:43,863
It's clean,
it's accessible,
825
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:45,664
and we're not running out
of it anytime soon.
826
00:27:45,732 --> 00:27:46,799
JOSH:
And when we do,
827
00:27:46,866 --> 00:27:48,167
we'll be having
bigger problems.
828
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:49,769
We could replace
all the fossil fuels
829
00:27:49,836 --> 00:27:51,170
we're burning today
830
00:27:51,237 --> 00:27:53,806
simply by covering
220,000 square kilometers
831
00:27:53,873 --> 00:27:54,974
with solar cells.
832
00:27:55,041 --> 00:27:56,608
Isn't that a lot?
A piece of land
833
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:57,910
300 miles on each side.
834
00:27:57,977 --> 00:27:59,946
Yeah, see...
that's kind of a lot.
835
00:28:00,012 --> 00:28:01,047
This'll give you
an idea
836
00:28:01,113 --> 00:28:02,548
of what we're talking about.
837
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:04,050
( whispers )
838
00:28:05,284 --> 00:28:06,685
That's huge.
839
00:28:06,753 --> 00:28:09,856
Drive it. There's 300 days
of sunshine and nothing there.
840
00:28:09,922 --> 00:28:11,390
That covers Las Vegas.
841
00:28:11,457 --> 00:28:13,092
ANDERS:
Appropriately--
the most wasteful
842
00:28:13,159 --> 00:28:14,994
energy abuser
on the planet.
843
00:28:15,061 --> 00:28:16,395
TYMINSKI:
Your cells'll
look attractive
844
00:28:16,462 --> 00:28:18,164
covering the Grand Canyon.
845
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:19,231
You adjust this,
846
00:28:19,298 --> 00:28:20,366
obviously.
847
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:22,234
Finding square footage
in the desert West
848
00:28:22,301 --> 00:28:24,403
will not be the problem.
What will?
849
00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:26,272
Manufacturing that
many solar cells.
We'd have to
850
00:28:26,338 --> 00:28:27,306
pick up the pace some.
851
00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:29,041
You might say--
since all the solar cells
852
00:28:29,108 --> 00:28:30,376
ever made up to this point
853
00:28:30,442 --> 00:28:32,711
would barely cover
ten square kilometers.
854
00:28:32,779 --> 00:28:34,513
So, just...
855
00:28:34,580 --> 00:28:38,350
219,990 to go.
856
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:39,986
CHARLIE:
I don't want to leave
the President,
857
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:42,254
and I just don't think
the time is right.
858
00:28:42,321 --> 00:28:44,523
So if I could leave you
my résumé,
859
00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:46,225
then have you ignore it.
860
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:47,960
Got it.
861
00:28:48,027 --> 00:28:51,030
( tears paper )
862
00:28:57,303 --> 00:28:58,771
( knocking )
863
00:29:00,306 --> 00:29:01,407
C.J. Cregg.
864
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:03,675
Please.
865
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:04,811
Hey, you.
866
00:29:04,877 --> 00:29:08,180
Oh, you are a sight
for sore eyes.
867
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:11,083
And sore legs,
sore chest...
868
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:14,220
You having
a lot of pain?
The Vicodin helps.
869
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:15,621
Whatcha got?
870
00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:18,190
Takeout from Terrazzo.
871
00:29:18,257 --> 00:29:19,225
The arugula...
872
00:29:19,291 --> 00:29:22,761
Ooh, with the Pecorino
and walnuts.
Mm.
873
00:29:22,829 --> 00:29:24,596
And... and gnocchi.
874
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:26,432
Supposed to be
very "gnice."
875
00:29:26,498 --> 00:29:28,467
So much trouble.
876
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:29,802
If only you were
worth it.
877
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:32,238
I don't have much appetite.
878
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:33,539
Oh.
879
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:34,773
He needs to eat.
880
00:29:34,841 --> 00:29:36,575
I'll eat when I'm hungry.
881
00:29:36,642 --> 00:29:37,643
Put it in the fridge.
882
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:39,211
I'm actually
not that...
883
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:41,013
LEO:
No, don't be silly.
Go ahead.
884
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,216
I can enjoy it
as a spectator sport.
885
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:46,452
You sure it won't
bother you?
886
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:48,520
It'll be great.
887
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:50,022
Voyeuristic.
888
00:29:50,089 --> 00:29:52,058
That sounds like
the Vicodin talking.
889
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:53,492
Has its compensations.
890
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:55,862
( laughs )
891
00:29:58,497 --> 00:29:59,999
So, how's it going?
892
00:30:00,066 --> 00:30:01,600
It's overwhelming,
893
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:03,269
the amount there
is to tend to.
894
00:30:03,335 --> 00:30:05,371
I thought I was
busy before.
895
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:07,907
How in the world
did you manage it
for seven years?
896
00:30:07,974 --> 00:30:09,341
I had a heart attack.
897
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:11,410
( laughs )
You remind
the President
898
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:14,113
about playing chess?
899
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,448
He pretty much blew me off.
900
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:18,584
You need to insist.
901
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,386
I obviously don't
know the President
902
00:30:20,452 --> 00:30:22,554
as well as you,
but already I can tell
903
00:30:22,621 --> 00:30:24,290
when something's a no go.
904
00:30:26,058 --> 00:30:28,194
You have to insist.
905
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:30,997
The President gets
906
00:30:31,063 --> 00:30:34,333
regular physicals,
and because of the MS,
907
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,337
rather more regular MRIs
and neuro-physical tests.
908
00:30:38,404 --> 00:30:41,673
But MS is a disease
of the central nervous system.
909
00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:45,211
It can affect cognition:
perception, reasoning, judgment.
910
00:30:45,277 --> 00:30:49,615
What the doctors actually term
executive function.
911
00:30:51,383 --> 00:30:53,252
As President
of the United States,
912
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:57,023
this needs to be monitored
on a weekly basis.
913
00:30:57,089 --> 00:31:00,893
You need to get the President
to play chess.
914
00:31:03,930 --> 00:31:05,864
Finish your lunch.
915
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,543
and most important,
ethanol's made right here
916
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:18,810
in the U.S. of A.
917
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:20,012
TYMINSKI:
And is already subsidized
918
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:21,480
up the ying-yang by
919
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:24,350
the U.S. of A government.
920
00:31:24,416 --> 00:31:25,484
Hang on.
921
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:27,619
Some claim it's
not all that clean.
922
00:31:27,686 --> 00:31:28,988
SHEETS:
The EPA's certified
923
00:31:29,055 --> 00:31:30,322
it reduces carbon dioxide
924
00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:33,159
and hydrocarbon tailpipe
emissions by up to 30%.
925
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:34,660
ANDERS:
And releases
more nitrogen oxide
926
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:37,463
and makes the entire
fuel mixture evaporate easier
927
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,966
than pure gasoline,
causing more smog.
928
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:41,333
It's climate dependent.
929
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,768
Helps in cold weather,
hurts in hot.
930
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:44,003
It consumes
more fossil fuels
931
00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:44,937
to make than it replaces.
932
00:31:45,004 --> 00:31:45,972
We dispute that.
933
00:31:46,038 --> 00:31:46,905
JOSH:
It only replaces
934
00:31:46,973 --> 00:31:48,407
ten percent of gasoline.
935
00:31:48,474 --> 00:31:50,542
So at best, it's a stopgap.
936
00:31:50,609 --> 00:31:52,478
It's practical now.
937
00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:54,880
Not pie in the sky,
like some people's solutions.
938
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:56,548
Let's be honest--
all of us
939
00:31:56,615 --> 00:31:58,217
sitting here know exactly
what the biggest thing is
940
00:31:58,284 --> 00:31:59,918
that ethanol has
in its favor.
941
00:31:59,986 --> 00:32:02,854
The Iowa caucuses.
942
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:04,023
MARGARET:
C.J., Gail's back
943
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:06,993
with a quick
question.
Yes?
944
00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:08,594
I know you said
you weren't necessarily prepared
945
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:11,497
to consider redecoration
schemes, but I took the liberty
946
00:32:11,563 --> 00:32:13,966
of pulling some pictures
of our inventory.
947
00:32:14,033 --> 00:32:15,534
It's just so dark
948
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:17,103
and masculine in here.
949
00:32:17,169 --> 00:32:18,770
A-And martial.
Do you feel it?
950
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:21,873
It's just militaristic
and martial and male.
951
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:23,409
You said
a quick question?
952
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:24,376
Oh, sorry.
953
00:32:24,443 --> 00:32:25,344
This...
954
00:32:25,411 --> 00:32:27,079
was Dolley
Madison's desk.
955
00:32:27,146 --> 00:32:29,681
You know, most people
think she spelled
her name L-L-Y,
956
00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:30,916
but in actuality it was
957
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:32,351
L-L-E-Y.
MARGARET:
Perhaps we should...
958
00:32:32,418 --> 00:32:34,420
But it's lovely
and feminine.
959
00:32:34,486 --> 00:32:38,224
Dolley-with-an-e Madison
was maybe five-three?
960
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:39,291
Yes.
961
00:32:43,562 --> 00:32:45,431
Of course.
962
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:48,500
ANNABETH:
Briefing time.
963
00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:50,569
I know.
964
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:52,304
I won't say a word.
965
00:32:52,371 --> 00:32:54,373
But that tie's going
to bleed.
966
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,342
Keep it up,
it'll have company.
967
00:32:56,408 --> 00:32:57,709
And don't look at them
with veiled contempt.
968
00:32:57,776 --> 00:32:58,910
I don't.
969
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,846
You're right,
it's not veiled.
970
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:03,649
Charm and disarm.
971
00:33:04,750 --> 00:33:07,453
( indistinct voices )
972
00:33:09,921 --> 00:33:10,856
Good afternoon.
973
00:33:10,922 --> 00:33:12,024
ALL:
Good afternoon.
974
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:13,192
I'll take
your questions.
975
00:33:13,259 --> 00:33:14,626
What's your response
to criticism
976
00:33:14,693 --> 00:33:15,794
of the administration's
977
00:33:15,861 --> 00:33:18,430
lukewarm support for
higher CAFE standards
978
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:21,167
as reflected in
today's defeat
in the House?
979
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:22,834
Well, what today's vote
reflected...
980
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:25,371
( clearing throat )
981
00:33:25,437 --> 00:33:27,539
Between anti-regulatory
Republicans
982
00:33:27,606 --> 00:33:30,509
and auto-state Democrats,
we were outgunned.
983
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,512
As far as our lukewarm support,
984
00:33:33,579 --> 00:33:36,615
I'd characterize it as more
of a parboil, myself.
985
00:33:36,682 --> 00:33:38,184
( chuckling )
986
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:39,851
White House commitment
to fuel conservation
987
00:33:39,918 --> 00:33:42,388
can more readily be measured
by the Alternative Energy
988
00:33:42,454 --> 00:33:44,923
Task Force meeting
currently in progress.
989
00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:47,259
KATIE:
Isn't this hastily-
convened task force
990
00:33:47,326 --> 00:33:48,960
just an attempt
to counteract
991
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:50,329
the symbolism
of a White House
992
00:33:50,396 --> 00:33:52,831
senior staffer
totaling a hybrid
993
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:54,733
while driving one
of the most fuel
inefficient
994
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,768
passenger vehicles
sold in the world?
995
00:33:56,835 --> 00:33:59,405
Questions as to symbolism and
the relative meanings thereof
996
00:33:59,471 --> 00:34:01,473
are the purview of
the Department of Metaphor.
997
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:03,142
And I refer you to
the Undersecretary
998
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:05,043
for Whimsy and Caprice
for further comment.
999
00:34:05,111 --> 00:34:06,712
( laughter )
1000
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:08,680
MARK:
But, really, this Alternative
Energy Summit's
1001
00:34:08,747 --> 00:34:09,815
not going to
fool anyone.
1002
00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:12,184
Good. Then maybe we
can stop thinking of it
1003
00:34:12,251 --> 00:34:13,619
as something intended
to fool people,
1004
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:15,787
and start thinking
of it as a way
1005
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:17,089
to maybe get something done.
1006
00:34:17,156 --> 00:34:19,791
Fuel conservation is
a critical issue.
1007
00:34:19,858 --> 00:34:23,329
We were outgunned today
in Congress, but not outflanked.
1008
00:34:25,764 --> 00:34:26,865
Yeah.
1009
00:34:26,932 --> 00:34:28,200
So what are the obstacles
1010
00:34:28,267 --> 00:34:29,735
to using hydrogen
as a replacement fuel?
1011
00:34:29,801 --> 00:34:31,337
Distribution.
1012
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:34,506
To transport and then dispense
it you'd have to liquefy it.
1013
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:36,675
JOSH:
Is that an issue?
You just need to freeze it,
1014
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:38,244
then open it.
At enormous pressure.
1015
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:39,178
I don't understand.
1016
00:34:39,245 --> 00:34:40,912
What's the problem?
1017
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:42,848
When you do that, it can...
1018
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:45,117
Have the tendency to explode.
1019
00:34:45,184 --> 00:34:46,552
Like the Hindenburg.
1020
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:50,256
So you can just
file it or
toss it, or...
1021
00:34:50,322 --> 00:34:51,990
The President
wants you to quit.
1022
00:34:52,057 --> 00:34:53,959
But like I said,
I don't actually...
And you promised him
1023
00:34:54,025 --> 00:34:55,394
once you graduated
you would.
1024
00:34:55,461 --> 00:34:56,962
It was more of an implied
understanding.
1025
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,029
Yes or no, Charlie.
1026
00:34:58,096 --> 00:34:59,331
Yes. I guess.
1027
00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:00,799
It's a dilemma.
1028
00:35:00,866 --> 00:35:01,900
No, all you
have to do is...
1029
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:03,135
Charlie, what's my job?
1030
00:35:03,202 --> 00:35:04,470
Excuse me?
1031
00:35:04,536 --> 00:35:06,372
My job-- it's to serve
the President.
1032
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:09,074
It seems to me the President
has expressed a clear wish.
1033
00:35:09,141 --> 00:35:10,509
I don't...
If he'd handed me
1034
00:35:10,576 --> 00:35:13,078
your résumé, do you imagine
I could ignore it?
1035
00:35:13,145 --> 00:35:14,680
Maybe I should just take
this back...
1036
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:18,417
Yeah, you probably shouldn't
have come in here with that...
1037
00:35:18,484 --> 00:35:20,819
Deputy Special Assistant
1038
00:35:20,886 --> 00:35:22,087
to the Chief of Staff.
1039
00:35:22,154 --> 00:35:23,088
Sorry?
1040
00:35:23,155 --> 00:35:24,990
Your new title.
1041
00:35:25,056 --> 00:35:26,658
Come work for me.
1042
00:35:26,725 --> 00:35:28,126
What?
1043
00:35:28,194 --> 00:35:29,395
You're smart,
responsible,
1044
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:30,996
you know the President.
1045
00:35:31,062 --> 00:35:32,398
Why wouldn't I hire you?
1046
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:34,200
Title's a little gaudy,
1047
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:36,235
but it mostly means you'll do
whatever's needed to be done.
1048
00:35:36,302 --> 00:35:39,037
A catch-all--
but grownup, policy stuff.
1049
00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:40,372
You're serious.
1050
00:35:40,439 --> 00:35:42,107
You'd be a stone's throw
from the Oval.
1051
00:35:42,174 --> 00:35:44,743
The President can't miss you
if you haven't really gone.
1052
00:35:47,012 --> 00:35:48,880
I don't know what to say.
1053
00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:50,282
Can I think it over?
1054
00:35:50,349 --> 00:35:51,717
Not really.
1055
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:54,920
ANNABETH:
That was...
1056
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:56,455
Absolute misery.
What?
1057
00:35:56,522 --> 00:35:59,024
Lean forward, but not too far,
but don't lean back.
1058
00:35:59,090 --> 00:36:01,627
Oh, my bleeding tie's
distracting from my fuzzy beard.
1059
00:36:01,693 --> 00:36:04,230
Be funny, be smart,
look pleasant.
1060
00:36:04,296 --> 00:36:06,598
I've never been more
self-conscious in my life.
1061
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:08,334
I don't want
to be good at this.
1062
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,203
Don't worry.
It was better.
1063
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:13,939
Good's still a ways off.
1064
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,574
You're welcome.
1065
00:36:15,641 --> 00:36:18,744
Wind turbines in California
produce enough kilowatt-hours
1066
00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:21,079
of electricity to
light San Francisco,
1067
00:36:21,146 --> 00:36:22,581
saving the state
the equivalent
1068
00:36:22,648 --> 00:36:24,816
of well over ten
million barrels of oil.
1069
00:36:24,883 --> 00:36:30,121
Wind provides 1.27%
of California's electricity.
1070
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,657
From 13,000 turbines.
1071
00:36:31,723 --> 00:36:32,591
So, in order to get
1072
00:36:32,658 --> 00:36:33,659
all of its energy from wind,
1073
00:36:33,725 --> 00:36:35,026
California would
have to build...
1074
00:36:35,093 --> 00:36:36,728
TYMINSKI:
Only one million more.
1075
00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:38,497
And, oh, by the way,
they're an eyesore
1076
00:36:38,564 --> 00:36:39,798
and no one wants them.
1077
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:41,800
What happens when
the wind doesn't blow?
1078
00:36:41,867 --> 00:36:43,335
Gee, I don't know. What happens
when the sun isn't shining?
1079
00:36:43,402 --> 00:36:44,803
This really isn't helpful.
1080
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:47,205
Wind is clean,
increasingly
competitive--
1081
00:36:47,273 --> 00:36:48,340
the fastest-growing
1082
00:36:48,407 --> 00:36:49,941
energy technology in the world.
1083
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:53,078
The Bartlet administration
could restore U.S. leadership
1084
00:36:53,144 --> 00:36:54,145
in wind power.
1085
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,414
I can see the slogan now:
1086
00:36:55,481 --> 00:36:57,416
"Breaking Wind Together."
1087
00:36:57,483 --> 00:36:59,751
( chuckling )
1088
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:07,359
Hey.
1089
00:37:07,426 --> 00:37:09,328
I only have a minute.
1090
00:37:09,395 --> 00:37:10,429
What'd you want
to tell me?
1091
00:37:10,496 --> 00:37:11,730
I got an
interesting offer
1092
00:37:11,797 --> 00:37:15,000
that you're pretty much
responsible for.
1093
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:15,901
What?
1094
00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:17,202
In appreciation,
1095
00:37:17,269 --> 00:37:20,071
I'd like to tell you
about it over dinner.
1096
00:37:20,138 --> 00:37:22,941
Are you asking me on a date?
1097
00:37:23,008 --> 00:37:24,443
A thank-you dinner.
1098
00:37:24,510 --> 00:37:26,077
It's a date.
1099
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:27,846
So far, it isn't anything.
1100
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:30,248
You haven't said
that you'll go.
1101
00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:33,985
Sure.
1102
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:38,690
So?
1103
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:39,425
What?
1104
00:37:39,491 --> 00:37:40,359
What are we announcing?
1105
00:37:40,426 --> 00:37:41,293
We don't know yet.
1106
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,628
C.J. wants an announcement.
1107
00:37:42,694 --> 00:37:43,829
Yeah, tell her that's
not happening.
1108
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:45,196
Nice try.
1109
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:46,365
What?
1110
00:37:46,432 --> 00:37:47,899
She's pissed at you,
you tell her.
1111
00:37:47,966 --> 00:37:49,568
She wasn't pissed.
Nettled, maybe.
1112
00:37:49,635 --> 00:37:51,002
Whatever, you're
telling her.
1113
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:52,438
Really, nothing
came out of it?
1114
00:37:52,504 --> 00:37:53,739
Wind power?
1115
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:55,341
Turns out the churn
from the turbines
1116
00:37:55,407 --> 00:37:56,875
changes the weather
on the ground.
1117
00:37:56,942 --> 00:37:59,678
Probably not ideal from an
environmental standpoint.
1118
00:37:59,745 --> 00:38:01,179
Three hours
of stuff like that.
1119
00:38:01,246 --> 00:38:02,614
That you're telling her.
1120
00:38:02,681 --> 00:38:05,150
Yeah.
1121
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:08,286
( speaking Chinese )
1122
00:38:18,397 --> 00:38:22,668
DONNA:
I'm not ready.
1123
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:24,836
I have spoken to experts
and they've told me,
1124
00:38:24,903 --> 00:38:27,806
what to look for and I don't
have to look very hard.
1125
00:38:27,873 --> 00:38:30,776
I do get angry over everything,
cry over nothing,
1126
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:31,977
right down the list.
1127
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:34,913
Rejecting offers of help,
that's on there, too.
1128
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:38,784
I'm sure talking to you
would be helpful.
1129
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:41,953
Actually, I'm...
I'm not sure of that.
1130
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:45,023
I'm not sure of much
of anything,
1131
00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:47,526
except that I'm not ready.
1132
00:38:47,593 --> 00:38:49,895
I understand.
1133
00:38:49,961 --> 00:38:51,863
Okay.
1134
00:38:57,803 --> 00:38:58,537
Hey.
1135
00:38:58,604 --> 00:39:01,072
How was your energy meeting?
1136
00:39:01,139 --> 00:39:02,674
It was pretty Darwinian.
1137
00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:04,743
They're so great at knocking
each other's technology,
1138
00:39:04,810 --> 00:39:07,278
it makes you want to run out
and buy stock in Chevron.
1139
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:09,548
They know we can't fund
everything.
1140
00:39:09,615 --> 00:39:11,016
I don't know
what we can announce,
1141
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:13,051
other than the world's
running out of oil,
1142
00:39:13,118 --> 00:39:15,220
and in 20 years we're all going
to starve to death.
1143
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:18,023
You know, those that haven't
already been wiped out
1144
00:39:18,089 --> 00:39:19,357
in an energy war with China.
1145
00:39:19,425 --> 00:39:20,759
Because the fuel alternatives
1146
00:39:20,826 --> 00:39:23,895
are even less ready
than you thought.
1147
00:39:23,962 --> 00:39:26,297
It's all economics.
1148
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:27,232
Mr. President.
1149
00:39:27,298 --> 00:39:28,700
Sir.
1150
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:31,069
Why do the Saudis fight
to keep oil prices from rising?
1151
00:39:31,136 --> 00:39:32,604
To discourage
conservation.
1152
00:39:32,671 --> 00:39:34,640
And the development
of alternative fuels.
1153
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:36,842
And it works--
because we let them.
1154
00:39:36,908 --> 00:39:37,976
Economics.
1155
00:39:38,043 --> 00:39:39,911
So what do we do?
1156
00:39:39,978 --> 00:39:42,781
Veto the omnibus
transportation bill.
1157
00:39:42,848 --> 00:39:43,782
Why?
1158
00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:46,151
To demand the higher
CAFE standards.
1159
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:47,085
Because Josh
1160
00:39:47,152 --> 00:39:48,687
demolished a hybrid?
1161
00:39:48,754 --> 00:39:51,122
Because improving
fuel economy
deserves far more
1162
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:52,458
than a 20-minute debate.
1163
00:39:52,524 --> 00:39:54,259
Sir, there aren't
the votes
1164
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:55,661
to sustain.
They'll just override.
1165
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:57,295
It pushes the subject
out there.
1166
00:39:57,362 --> 00:39:58,830
Jump starts
a national debate.
1167
00:39:58,897 --> 00:40:01,900
Hummer sales had their best
month ever this year.
1168
00:40:01,967 --> 00:40:05,136
And Prius is expanding
its production 50%.
1169
00:40:05,203 --> 00:40:08,273
The market's doing
what markets do,
sorting itself out.
1170
00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:10,542
Messily and with
contradiction.
1171
00:40:10,609 --> 00:40:12,077
Better fuel economy's an idea
1172
00:40:12,143 --> 00:40:14,179
that just has
to reach its tipping point.
1173
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:16,848
A veto maybe nudges
it a little closer.
1174
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,550
And keep having those meetings.
1175
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:20,619
We wait till
the alternatives
are perfect,
1176
00:40:20,686 --> 00:40:21,853
it's all going
to be too late.
1177
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,055
Thank you,
Mr. President.
1178
00:40:24,122 --> 00:40:25,691
What was it you wanted?
1179
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:28,660
Sir, if you'll follow me.
1180
00:40:30,629 --> 00:40:34,566
MAN:
Mr. President.
1181
00:40:34,633 --> 00:40:36,234
Sir, this is
Roger Quast,
from HUD.
1182
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:37,536
He was on the Stanford
chess team.
1183
00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:41,239
He's here to play
a game with you.
1184
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:44,175
Roger, unfortunately, you've
been dragged here for nothing.
1185
00:40:44,242 --> 00:40:46,244
Sir, I've cleared
your schedule
for the hour.
1186
00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:47,679
I spoke with Leo.
1187
00:40:47,746 --> 00:40:51,517
You're going to play
chess, Mr. President.
1188
00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:53,885
You heard the lady.
1189
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,654
Where do you think
you're going?
1190
00:40:55,721 --> 00:40:56,788
Sir?
1191
00:40:56,855 --> 00:40:57,856
You're going to play me.
1192
00:40:57,923 --> 00:40:59,124
Sir, I don't really...
1193
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:01,860
Stanford here is going
to stay and help you.
1194
00:41:01,927 --> 00:41:03,695
Sit down.
1195
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:08,433
Chess team, huh?
1196
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:09,768
Yes, sir.
1197
00:41:09,835 --> 00:41:11,369
I'm just trying to
imagine the cheer:
1198
00:41:11,436 --> 00:41:13,572
"Check him to
the left, check
him to the right,
1199
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:14,773
stand up,
sit down, shh."
1200
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,775
I was on
the chess team.
1201
00:41:16,842 --> 00:41:18,109
Right.
1202
00:41:23,582 --> 00:41:24,449
I really have no clue...
1203
00:41:24,516 --> 00:41:25,917
He's going to help you.
1204
00:41:25,984 --> 00:41:28,253
And I'll know if you're
holding back, young man.
1205
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:31,156
You're hereby directed,
by presidential fiat,
1206
00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:32,624
to try your damnedest
1207
00:41:32,691 --> 00:41:34,893
to kick your
Commander in Chief's ass.
1208
00:41:41,767 --> 00:41:57,716
Move King's pawn
up two spaces.
