Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,039 --> 00:00:07,208
Previously on The West Wing...
2
00:00:07,241 --> 00:00:08,476
I can't do the job, Abbey.
3
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:10,278
Do you understand?
I can't do it.
4
00:00:10,311 --> 00:00:11,879
He's going to need
a nap midday.
5
00:00:11,912 --> 00:00:13,447
A nap? He's going
to love that.
6
00:00:13,481 --> 00:00:15,616
It's you and I,
we're going to have
to run this thing.
7
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:18,286
Are we going to stand for
something or just hang around,
8
00:00:18,319 --> 00:00:20,488
change the sheets for
the President's hospital bed?
9
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:21,289
When you coming back?
10
00:00:21,322 --> 00:00:22,990
Been here an hour
and already
11
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,459
I need another 30 days
of Sierra Tucson.
12
00:00:25,493 --> 00:00:28,062
Come with me, I think
this guy may be the real deal.
13
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:32,200
I already found my guy.
14
00:00:34,668 --> 00:00:37,138
INTERVIEWER:
Well, the speech was
one of the President's best.
15
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:38,906
And thank you for not
making it too long.
16
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:40,174
TOBY:
We were aiming for pith.
17
00:00:40,208 --> 00:00:41,842
And you succeeded.
18
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:43,043
We've been speaking
with Toby Ziegler,
19
00:00:43,077 --> 00:00:44,145
author of
President Bartlet's
20
00:00:44,178 --> 00:00:45,846
final State of the Union
address.
21
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:46,914
Thank you.
Pleasure.
22
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:48,182
Clear.
That was great.
23
00:00:48,216 --> 00:00:50,050
That section on
prescription drugs,
24
00:00:50,084 --> 00:00:51,885
I was wondering
if the coverage...
25
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:52,886
I'm sorry, I've gotta...
26
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,955
C.J.'s in her office.
Thanks.
27
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:56,557
And here.
It's okay. Sorry.
28
00:00:58,592 --> 00:00:59,460
Congratulations.
29
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:00,794
Don't.
30
00:01:00,828 --> 00:01:02,029
Dials soared.
Please don't.
31
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:03,063
Don't get me started
on the cross tabs.
32
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:05,933
Trying not to, in fact.
33
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:06,934
Is he here yet?
34
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:08,669
Any minute.
35
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:09,737
We sure he's ready
for this?
36
00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:11,004
He says he is.
37
00:01:11,038 --> 00:01:12,072
Still, 7:00 a.m.
38
00:01:12,106 --> 00:01:13,341
It's the only time
we could fit it
39
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:14,508
into everyone's schedule.
40
00:01:14,542 --> 00:01:15,776
Says he has some thoughts
he wants to share.
41
00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:17,010
Some thoughts?
42
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:18,045
Fantastic speech, Toby.
43
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:19,347
Oh, thank you.
44
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:21,149
You really can't
take a compliment.
Oh, no.
45
00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:22,450
Daily Read even said
46
00:01:22,483 --> 00:01:23,651
it was the President's
finest State of the Union.
47
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:25,519
Yeah,
'cause it's his last.
48
00:01:35,563 --> 00:01:37,064
Sir, we're here.
49
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:38,432
Yeah.
50
00:01:58,252 --> 00:01:59,787
Good to have you back,
Mr. McGarry.
51
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:01,121
Thanks, Brian.
52
00:02:06,227 --> 00:02:08,162
Good to have you back,
Mr. McGarry.
53
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:28,182
( applause )
54
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:33,086
Welcome back, boss.
55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,688
Thought we were
keeping this low-key,
56
00:02:34,722 --> 00:02:37,958
just a couple of us
kicking a few ideas around?
57
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:39,293
This is low-key.
58
00:02:39,327 --> 00:02:40,894
Annabeth wanted to bring in
the Marine Marching Band.
59
00:02:40,928 --> 00:02:42,162
Ah...
60
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:43,864
Word got out and
everybody wanted to come,
61
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:44,898
and hear what
you had to say.
62
00:02:44,932 --> 00:02:46,166
Good to see you, Leo.
63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,701
Welcome back, Leo.
Welcome back.
64
00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:51,004
Thanks. Thanks.
65
00:02:51,038 --> 00:02:53,006
Ah...
66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,107
Man of the hour.
67
00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:56,744
( applause )
68
00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:58,479
Come now, no false modesty.
69
00:02:58,512 --> 00:03:00,180
It's actually self-loathing.
70
00:03:00,214 --> 00:03:01,215
It was a great speech.
71
00:03:01,249 --> 00:03:02,216
Charlie, Toby.
Have you met?
72
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:04,084
Press response
has been terrific.
73
00:03:04,117 --> 00:03:05,152
Stop being such a pill.
74
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,186
Well...
75
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:07,921
I really wasn't
expecting
76
00:03:07,955 --> 00:03:09,923
to have to address
a convention but...
( cell phone ringing )
77
00:03:09,957 --> 00:03:11,124
Before we get started,
78
00:03:11,158 --> 00:03:12,226
we all got you
a little something.
79
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,295
Completely unnecessary.
Truly.
80
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:17,231
Just for the record,
I voted for the watch.
81
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:20,868
My very own defibrillator.
82
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:23,070
( chuckling )
83
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:26,173
Well, like I was saying, um...
84
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:28,342
I wasn't really expecting
to discuss this
85
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:30,344
with such a large group,
86
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:32,380
but I've been thinking
87
00:03:32,413 --> 00:03:34,081
and this might be
an excellent time to...
88
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:35,949
( knocking on door)
Commander.
89
00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:37,385
Sorry.
No problem.
90
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:41,054
I rather unexpectedly
found myself
91
00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:42,790
with a bit of spare time
on my hands
92
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:43,791
these last few months.
93
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,659
We've been here seven trips
around the sun.
94
00:03:45,693 --> 00:03:48,095
( pager ringing )
Done some things
we're proud of,
95
00:03:48,128 --> 00:03:49,129
things we're less
pleased about...
96
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:51,098
The Vice President.
97
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:52,232
I should probably...
Sure.
98
00:03:52,266 --> 00:03:53,567
Just be a minute.
99
00:03:53,601 --> 00:03:56,404
I think it may be time for us
to take our own temperature.
100
00:03:56,437 --> 00:03:57,471
An internal inventory.
101
00:03:57,505 --> 00:03:58,606
( knocking on door )
102
00:03:58,639 --> 00:03:59,907
Can I borrow C.J. for a moment?
103
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:01,642
Sorry.
Sure.
104
00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:07,448
What's done,
what's undone...
105
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:10,884
what's done
that we'd like to undo...
106
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:12,085
or do over...
107
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:13,354
do away with...
108
00:04:13,387 --> 00:04:15,088
Demonstration in Bolivia,
outside our embassy.
109
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:16,290
Big one.
110
00:04:16,324 --> 00:04:17,658
Over the ambassador's
statement.
111
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:19,493
It's being seen
as interfering
in their election.
112
00:04:19,527 --> 00:04:21,161
The guy is a Socialist.
Yeah.
113
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:22,663
Who says, if elected,
he'll immediately halt
114
00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:25,833
their coca
eradication program.
Yep.
115
00:04:25,866 --> 00:04:27,735
We should get into this.
( pager rings )
116
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:28,836
I'll call DOD, Intel,
117
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,904
the Undersecretary for
Low Grade Conflicts.
118
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:33,006
We have an Undersecretary
for Low Grade Conflicts?
119
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,007
Be glad he's who
I'm calling.
120
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:40,614
Fight the seduction of tumult
for tumult's sake.
121
00:04:40,648 --> 00:04:41,615
I need Charlie.
122
00:04:41,649 --> 00:04:42,583
Of course.
123
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,086
There's a situation
in Bolivia.
124
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:47,588
Serious?
Low grade evidently.
125
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:49,457
Get with Margaret,
see what meetings
you can cover,
126
00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:50,791
what needs to be moved.
Okay.
127
00:04:50,824 --> 00:04:52,426
What's Leo talking
about in there?
128
00:04:52,460 --> 00:04:53,461
I'm really not sure.
129
00:04:53,494 --> 00:04:55,729
Sir, one week
doesn't seem...
130
00:04:55,763 --> 00:04:57,431
Can we discuss it?
131
00:04:57,465 --> 00:04:59,833
Didn't we just kind of do this
"taking inventory"?
132
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,535
Little thing called
the State of the Union.
133
00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:02,736
The State of the Union
was fine...
134
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:03,837
Excuse me, Leo.
135
00:05:03,871 --> 00:05:06,006
Labor Secretary's panicked
about his press conference.
136
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:07,808
I'll be right back.
137
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:09,377
Man's an infant.
138
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,745
It's about time
he got a good spanking.
139
00:05:11,779 --> 00:05:12,646
I'd better, uh...
140
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,647
Referee?
141
00:05:13,681 --> 00:05:14,648
Sorry.
142
00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:17,184
Welcome back.
143
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:18,786
Actually, just came
to get these guys.
144
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:20,688
Situation.
Juggling some things.
145
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:31,632
Are we done, Mr. McGarry?
146
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:34,935
No. Not yet.
147
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:31,525
Any numbness, pain?
148
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:33,461
Physical or existential?
149
00:06:33,494 --> 00:06:35,663
Any chance of getting
the odd straight answer?
150
00:06:35,696 --> 00:06:37,665
Good luck with that.
Nada.
151
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:38,899
Spiritual or otherwise.
152
00:06:38,932 --> 00:06:40,367
You don't have to go.
153
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,335
They'll think we're
Northeast Yankee elitists.
154
00:06:42,369 --> 00:06:43,504
And be correct.
155
00:06:43,537 --> 00:06:45,539
We could make
the occasional effort.
156
00:06:45,573 --> 00:06:47,641
500 laps around an oval.
157
00:06:47,675 --> 00:06:50,177
An entire sport predicated
on the expectation
158
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:51,344
of the Grand Guinol.
159
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:52,746
Guignol. Guignol.
160
00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:55,315
If you're going to brag about
your intellectual hauteur,
161
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:56,917
at least get your fancy
references right.
162
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:58,719
Grand Guignol connoting
the sanguinary.
163
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:00,353
Buckets of blood.
Like hockey.
164
00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:01,889
Leave my Bruins out of this.
165
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:03,691
Martinsville Speedway.
You're in for a treat.
166
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:05,493
See? There are people
with most of their teeth
167
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:06,594
that are actual NASCAR fans.
168
00:07:06,627 --> 00:07:07,795
Are you really a doctor?
169
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:09,463
I didn't get a close look
at your credentials.
170
00:07:09,497 --> 00:07:11,031
First in my class.
University of Daytona.
171
00:07:11,064 --> 00:07:13,366
Oh, now who's with
the not-so-straight answers.
172
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,602
He prefers to be
the amusing one.
173
00:07:14,635 --> 00:07:15,936
Fun for the rest of us.
174
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:17,671
So, is he well enough
to join me?
175
00:07:17,705 --> 00:07:19,239
Pressure,
vitals are fine.
176
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,475
But I'd rather he
didn't push himself
after last night.
177
00:07:21,509 --> 00:07:23,176
Dang.
He put you
up to this.
178
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:24,878
Enjoy the Grand Guignol.
179
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:27,515
Horror and sensationalism,
not blood.
180
00:07:27,548 --> 00:07:28,716
Look it up.
181
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:33,754
The President will see you now.
182
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:42,029
Sir, Zalaya's now polling
a close second in Bolivia.
183
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:42,863
Wasn't he fourth?
184
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:44,998
Maybe our ambassador
can say something
185
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:46,099
new and inflammatory,
186
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:47,701
help him bridge
that final gap.
187
00:07:47,735 --> 00:07:50,203
There's concern
about rioting
188
00:07:50,237 --> 00:07:52,540
We need you to make a statement.
affirming our impartiality.
189
00:07:52,573 --> 00:07:54,407
You mean,
pretend to a disinterest
190
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:55,676
no one's gonna believe
191
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:57,511
because some diplomat
happened to have too much...
192
00:07:57,545 --> 00:07:58,879
What do they
drink down there?
193
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:00,748
As what I recall,
the ambassador's
not a stickler, sir.
194
00:08:00,781 --> 00:08:02,550
I'm not declaring
to an indifference
195
00:08:02,583 --> 00:08:04,918
that'll provoke
international guffaws.
196
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:06,053
Sir, if Zalaya wins
197
00:08:06,086 --> 00:08:07,988
he's pledged to re-nationalize
their industries,
198
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:10,023
stop payment on their
six billion dollar debt,
199
00:08:10,057 --> 00:08:12,626
and remove all U.S.
"imperialist forces"
from Bolivia.
200
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:16,196
The imperialist forces their
government expressly invited in.
201
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:19,066
Up to now they've been one
of our most cooperative allies
in the war on drugs.
202
00:08:19,099 --> 00:08:20,768
Since no one ever wins
and it never ends,
203
00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:22,636
maybe we should stop
calling it a war.
204
00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:24,638
Fine.
But we have 2,000 troops
205
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:26,506
and seven battle ships
in Latin America.
206
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:28,375
And our pilots engage
daily in hostile gunfire
207
00:08:28,408 --> 00:08:29,677
as they spray coca fields.
208
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:30,744
But we don't have
to call it a war.
209
00:08:30,778 --> 00:08:32,312
How about a
low-grade conflict?
210
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:34,514
State feels we can
tamp things down
211
00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:36,483
if you could just walk the
ambassador's statement back.
212
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,151
TOBY:
"The United States
remains neutral
213
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:40,120
"in all free elections
214
00:08:40,153 --> 00:08:42,723
and discourages any manner
of external interference."
215
00:08:42,756 --> 00:08:44,958
I can probably keep
a straight face through that.
216
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:45,959
Is it enough?
217
00:08:45,993 --> 00:08:48,361
You may want to specify
with regard to Bolivia.
218
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:49,763
"And this means you,
La Paz."
219
00:08:49,797 --> 00:08:51,599
So it's reported
in the Latin press.
220
00:08:51,632 --> 00:08:53,266
The Latin press'll just
have to figure it out.
221
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:54,635
What's next?
222
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:57,404
You wouldn't be more comfortable
waiting in your office?
223
00:08:57,437 --> 00:08:58,706
LEO:
This is fine.
224
00:09:02,676 --> 00:09:04,277
I'm sure you could
go in and join them.
225
00:09:04,311 --> 00:09:06,614
I'll wait.
226
00:09:06,647 --> 00:09:08,148
They should be done any minute.
227
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:12,285
Can I get you some water
or anything?
228
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:13,921
I'm good, Deb.
I'm sure you got
229
00:09:13,954 --> 00:09:15,656
things to worry about
other than me.
230
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:18,325
You never called me Deb before.
No?
231
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:19,827
President does, sometimes.
232
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:20,661
Mm.
233
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:24,865
I actually kind of hate it.
234
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:25,766
I'm sorry.
235
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:26,800
It's okay, you didn't know.
236
00:09:26,834 --> 00:09:28,135
Ever tell the President?
237
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:29,036
Hard to work it in.
238
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:30,971
"Sir, the North Koreans
just threatened
239
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:33,240
"to rain nuclear fire
on Japan again,
240
00:09:33,273 --> 00:09:34,341
"the NASDAQ is tanking,
241
00:09:34,374 --> 00:09:37,110
"there's a category four
hurricane
242
00:09:37,144 --> 00:09:40,648
making landfall in the Keys
and, oh, don't call me Deb."
243
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:42,382
You should tell him.
244
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:44,451
Leo.
245
00:09:44,484 --> 00:09:45,452
Sorry about this morning.
246
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:46,519
It happens.
247
00:09:46,553 --> 00:09:47,621
I got this Bolivia thing.
248
00:09:47,655 --> 00:09:48,889
I understand.
249
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,691
Love to get
your perspective on it.
250
00:09:50,724 --> 00:09:52,125
Maybe after I've seen
the President.
251
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:53,861
Maybe later.
Whenever.
252
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:58,498
Uh, this afternoon?
253
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:00,467
Sure, if that's good.
254
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:04,504
Yeah, yeah... 3:30?
255
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:05,673
See you then.
256
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:07,007
Looking forward to it.
257
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:15,382
Was that Thomas Paine
always there?
258
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:16,950
I thought that
was Nathan Hale.
259
00:10:16,984 --> 00:10:19,252
"I regret I only
have but one life,"
et cetera, et cetera.
260
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:22,522
Paine. "These are the times
that try men's souls."
261
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:25,125
Get over yourself, Tom.
262
00:10:28,696 --> 00:10:31,064
Ways and Means
has some procedural issues
263
00:10:31,098 --> 00:10:32,866
with the Earned Income
Tax Credit.
264
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:34,768
But I think there's movement.
265
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:37,070
Ten billion's the goal,
but it's an election year.
266
00:10:37,104 --> 00:10:37,938
I'm realistic.
267
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,741
Overwhelming response
to last night.
268
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:42,142
36 interruptions
for applause.
269
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:43,977
I don't know what's
more embarrassing--
270
00:10:44,011 --> 00:10:45,312
that we count them
or that I care.
271
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:46,313
Very impressive.
272
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:47,347
I blame him.
273
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:48,515
Wasn't me.
274
00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:50,684
He's doing his annual
sackcloth and ashes bit.
275
00:10:50,718 --> 00:10:51,785
I used to think
it was a way
276
00:10:51,819 --> 00:10:53,220
of harvesting
even more compliments.
277
00:10:53,253 --> 00:10:55,455
Now I understand
it's just self-abnegation
278
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,424
and clinical despair.
279
00:10:57,457 --> 00:10:58,692
Man understands me.
280
00:10:58,726 --> 00:10:59,960
( knocking on door )
281
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:02,796
Mr. President,
Leo McGarry is outside.
282
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:04,164
He's been waiting all this time?
283
00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:05,966
Yes, and you're late
284
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,768
for your NSA briefing
on Chechnya.
285
00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:09,136
Okay. Thanks, guys.
Thank you,
Mr. President.
286
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:11,304
Do the thing with the knocking
again in five minutes.
287
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:12,672
Yes, sir.
Thanks, Deb.
288
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:19,479
Leo, have I said how great it is
having you back?
289
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,114
A few times.
290
00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:22,249
Oh. Sorry.
291
00:11:22,282 --> 00:11:24,752
Everyone has.
292
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:26,653
Not quite sure
what you want me doing.
293
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,756
What you always did;
make me smarter.
294
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:30,958
By comparison,
absolutely.
295
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:36,063
Congratulations on last night.
296
00:11:36,096 --> 00:11:39,266
I planned a morning
resting on my laurels,
297
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:41,668
but there's this
I-don't-know-what in Bolivia.
298
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,503
Courtland and his big yap.
299
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,672
Wonder why he said it.
300
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:46,673
He's an idiot.
301
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,341
He was always an idiot.
302
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:49,676
Why you think
we made him
303
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,144
ambassador to Bolivia?
304
00:11:51,178 --> 00:11:53,113
What?
Why do you think he said it?
305
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:55,916
Have you given some thought to
how I might make myself useful?
306
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:57,084
I don't want
to undermine C.J.
( knocking )
307
00:11:57,117 --> 00:11:58,852
Sorry to interrupt,
Mr. President,
308
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:00,754
but President Trenier
is holding for you.
309
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:01,554
That's something you can do.
310
00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:02,522
Talk to the French.
311
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:03,723
Non, merci.
312
00:12:03,757 --> 00:12:05,025
Sorry. I've gotta
take this.
Of course.
313
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,226
The day's getting
away from me.
314
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:07,194
How about dinner tonight?
315
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:08,161
Be great.
316
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:09,662
I don't care
how many times I've said it;
317
00:12:09,696 --> 00:12:10,931
it's a great thing you're back.
318
00:12:10,964 --> 00:12:12,632
See you tonight, Mr. President.
319
00:12:12,665 --> 00:12:13,733
Bonjour,
Mr. President.
320
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:15,435
Yes, I'm really
looking forward
321
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:18,105
to the G-8 in Paris.
322
00:12:18,138 --> 00:12:19,873
I know what it is,
it just has a dull name.
323
00:12:19,907 --> 00:12:21,408
Earned Income Tax Credit.
324
00:12:21,441 --> 00:12:22,843
It's the one government program
325
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:24,611
that actually sounds
like what it is.
326
00:12:24,644 --> 00:12:26,413
Exactly-- d-u-l-l.
327
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:27,447
Oh. This goes to DNC
328
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,615
and this one's
a blast fax.
329
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:29,817
It was a highlight
330
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:31,451
of the President's address
last night.
331
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:32,585
By highlight
332
00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:33,987
you mean a chance
for viewers to wonder
333
00:12:34,021 --> 00:12:35,255
whether they're going
to have sex that night
334
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:36,589
or plan what they were gonna
wear in the morning.
335
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:38,158
Thank you.
And you have...
I know.
336
00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:39,192
It's important.
337
00:12:39,226 --> 00:12:41,161
36 million Americans live below
the poverty line,
338
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,529
which is a million more
than last year.
339
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:44,464
Let's shout that from
the rooftops, why don't we?
340
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,498
We blame
the Republicans.
341
00:12:45,532 --> 00:12:46,633
Oh, there's a fresh angle.
342
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,501
Charlie, you see the HUD
Samaritan bill markup?
343
00:12:48,535 --> 00:12:50,403
Secretary spoke to the
Budget Director this morning.
344
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:52,806
No government program will do
more to lift children
345
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,141
out of poverty
than the EITC.
346
00:12:54,174 --> 00:12:55,675
Oh, God.
I thought the name was dull.
347
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:56,810
The acronym's worse.
348
00:12:56,844 --> 00:12:58,478
You've been working
on this for two months
349
00:12:58,511 --> 00:12:59,913
and you can't find
a catchier handle?
350
00:12:59,947 --> 00:13:01,548
"Marriage Penalty".
"Death tax."
351
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:02,816
Now, that you remember.
352
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,627
Leo.
Margaret.
353
00:13:14,661 --> 00:13:15,628
Who did this to you?
354
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:17,530
I got rid of everything.
355
00:13:17,564 --> 00:13:19,799
I should've gone
with the mahogany.
356
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:21,568
I had a feeling...
357
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:24,137
I don't want
any clutter.
358
00:13:24,171 --> 00:13:24,972
It's a look.
359
00:13:25,005 --> 00:13:26,773
Are those the, um...?
360
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,208
I'm still looking
for the second inaugural.
361
00:13:28,241 --> 00:13:29,276
Floor's good.
362
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:30,243
Really?
Mm-hmm.
363
00:13:30,277 --> 00:13:31,511
Tower or pile?
364
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:32,645
Surprise me.
365
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,746
( knocking )
366
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:34,814
Hey.
Hey.
367
00:13:34,848 --> 00:13:36,683
I just found out
eight U.S. contractors
368
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:38,151
are being held at gunpoint
in Bolivia.
369
00:13:38,185 --> 00:13:39,719
Intel's sketchy,
but it looks like
370
00:13:39,752 --> 00:13:41,021
it might be
by Zalaya supporters.
371
00:13:41,054 --> 00:13:43,056
Hmm. Thanks for the tapes.
372
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:44,591
People are gathering down
in the Sit Room if you wanna...
373
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:46,393
Oh, I'm sure
you can all handle this.
374
00:13:47,895 --> 00:13:49,729
Let me know if you find
that second inaugural.
375
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:51,231
Sure.
376
00:13:51,264 --> 00:13:52,599
I should...
377
00:13:52,632 --> 00:13:53,666
Yeah.
378
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,402
C.J.'s probably looking
for you.
379
00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:57,204
Right.
380
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:19,993
BARTLET ( on tape ):
This truly is an age
of possibility,
381
00:14:20,027 --> 00:14:23,730
of great trials, but
also tremendous opportunities.
382
00:14:23,763 --> 00:14:25,999
We need to set our nation
on a new course,
383
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:27,200
create a new history...
384
00:14:29,236 --> 00:14:30,037
MAN:
Ten hut!
385
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:32,272
At ease.
What's the story?
386
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:33,873
KATE:
Our contractors were ambushed
387
00:14:33,907 --> 00:14:36,276
and captured
in the Chapare jungle.
388
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:37,277
How many?
389
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:38,545
Eight.
Alive?
390
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:39,479
As far as we know.
391
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:41,081
Captured by who?
392
00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:42,149
They describe themselves
as Zalaya supporters.
393
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:43,650
I have some
enthusiastic supporters.
394
00:14:43,683 --> 00:14:46,053
They don't go around
holding people at gunpoint...
395
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:47,487
much as I'd sometimes
wish they would.
396
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,255
These are paramilitaries, sir.
397
00:14:48,288 --> 00:14:49,156
Run for president down there,
398
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:50,290
you get your own private army?
399
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:51,624
It's South America.
400
00:14:51,658 --> 00:14:54,527
If Bolivia wasn't landlocked,
he'd have his own navy, too.
401
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,230
They're claiming the contractors
are CIA, sent down
402
00:14:57,264 --> 00:14:58,798
to hijack
the election.
Are they?
403
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:00,200
No, sir.
What are they doing there?
404
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,601
They're private citizens.
405
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:04,104
Who happen to take camouflage
gear with them on vacation?
406
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:06,073
They're part of the coca
eradication effort, sir.
407
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:07,507
They work for the government.
408
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:08,708
The Bolivian government?
409
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:09,876
U.S. government.
410
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,311
Sorry.
State has
a $700 million
411
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:13,680
contract with Tarmacorp,
which employs them.
412
00:15:13,713 --> 00:15:14,982
And they're armed?
413
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:16,449
Of course they're armed.
414
00:15:16,483 --> 00:15:17,985
They're spraying coca fields
run by drug cartels.
415
00:15:18,018 --> 00:15:20,353
I think what C.J.'s driving at
is the difference
416
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:22,122
between what they call them
and what we call them
417
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:24,191
is more like dolphins
and porpoises
418
00:15:24,224 --> 00:15:25,692
rather than lions and bats.
419
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:27,160
What are the captors' demands?
420
00:15:27,194 --> 00:15:28,628
That's just it.
They haven't made any.
421
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:30,563
HUTCHINSON:
We think this may be
an election stunt.
422
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:32,765
Zalaya got such a bounce
from our ambassador's statement,
423
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:34,367
could be he figures
424
00:15:34,401 --> 00:15:36,436
a trumped-up U.S. tampering
charge puts him over the top.
425
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:38,171
Our guys were there
spraying coca fields,
426
00:15:38,205 --> 00:15:40,407
we're certain of that?
427
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,475
Not necessarily themselves
directly...
428
00:15:42,509 --> 00:15:45,112
I know they may not attach
the hose to the nozzle,
429
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:47,380
but they were doing
eradication work?
430
00:15:47,414 --> 00:15:48,381
Yes, sir.
431
00:15:48,415 --> 00:15:50,050
They're weren't freelancing?
Maybe doing
432
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:53,086
some electoral strong-arming
in their free time?
433
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,287
There's no evidence of that.
434
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:56,123
Make damn sure,
would you, please?
435
00:15:56,156 --> 00:15:57,524
Our history down
there is such
436
00:15:57,557 --> 00:15:58,992
that people are gonna
find it a lot easier
437
00:15:59,026 --> 00:16:01,461
to believe Zalaya's charges
than our denials.
438
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,463
It may not make a hell
of a lot of difference,
439
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:06,133
but when we call him a liar
I'd prefer we be right.
440
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:08,601
Okay, next crisis: Korea.
441
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:10,803
A three-foot hole has appeared
in the DMZ fence.
442
00:16:10,837 --> 00:16:12,372
Intergovernmental
Affairs needs
443
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,974
to announce the Indian
Healthcare reauthorization.
444
00:16:15,008 --> 00:16:16,476
It's gonna get trumped
by this Bolivia thing.
445
00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:17,344
Where are we on that?
446
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:18,978
Making certain
our guys weren't doing
447
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:20,013
what Zalaya says
they were.
448
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:21,014
Then?
Liar, liar,
pants on fire.
449
00:16:21,048 --> 00:16:22,215
It won't rhyme
in Spanish.
450
00:16:22,249 --> 00:16:23,416
I don't want you
to be disappointed.
451
00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:25,152
The President took
another turn at
whack-a-DCI.
452
00:16:25,185 --> 00:16:26,219
Guy's gotta quit,
doesn't he?
453
00:16:26,253 --> 00:16:27,587
God, I hope not,
it's too much fun.
454
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:30,023
Besides, it's the only person
the President ever picks on.
455
00:16:30,057 --> 00:16:31,958
The CIA Director goes,
it could be you
or me, bucko.
456
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:33,426
It's already been me.
457
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:36,796
Are we at all concerned
about our checkered
history down there:
458
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:38,365
Allende, the CIA
and Che Guevara?
459
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:40,433
Yeah. We don't have
much credibility.
460
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:41,768
You'll talk to
Intergovernmental
Affairs?
461
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:42,769
In my spare time.
462
00:16:42,802 --> 00:16:44,037
Thank the V.P.
463
00:16:44,071 --> 00:16:44,871
for pitching in on
State of the Union
follow through.
464
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:46,273
About that.
Will...
465
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:47,640
He's out there,
he's shilling.
466
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:49,942
Shilling? You mean showing
loyalty to the administration
467
00:16:49,976 --> 00:16:51,111
he happens to be serving in?
468
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:52,379
It's the President's agenda.
469
00:16:52,412 --> 00:16:54,381
I don't recall burning much
midnight oil discussing
470
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,183
what'd help us in the primaries.
471
00:16:56,216 --> 00:16:58,518
He'll do his bit this week
because the President can't,
472
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:00,453
but after that,
the campaign comes first.
473
00:17:00,487 --> 00:17:03,022
Yeah, on second thought,
maybe don't thank him so much.
474
00:17:03,056 --> 00:17:07,660
Governor, everyone,
sorry to keep you waiting.
475
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,696
The First Lady's going to be
attending a stock car race.
476
00:17:09,729 --> 00:17:10,930
Hell, yeah!
477
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,299
Excuse me?
478
00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:15,102
Colorful regional colloquialism
betokening enthusiasm
479
00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:16,969
of a visceral-if-not-rowdy
variety.
480
00:17:17,003 --> 00:17:18,571
You're making this
too complicated.
481
00:17:18,605 --> 00:17:19,739
I want you to prep her.
482
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:21,708
It's a bunch of cars going
real fast around an oval.
483
00:17:21,741 --> 00:17:23,110
There, I'm done.
484
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:24,611
It's a food pyramid,
not the human genome.
485
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:27,380
There are fish-out-of-water
concerns.
486
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:29,116
This is your dream come true.
487
00:17:29,149 --> 00:17:31,418
Eliza Doolittle gets
to tutor Henry Higgins.
488
00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:34,821
I'll see if I can't find my
redneck-to-snob dictionary.
489
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:37,124
Here's the message:
eat less bread.
490
00:17:37,157 --> 00:17:38,125
What, you're offended?
491
00:17:38,158 --> 00:17:39,392
You're implying
492
00:17:39,426 --> 00:17:40,493
I'm some kind
of hayseed-hillbilly-hick?
493
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:41,761
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to imply it.
494
00:17:41,794 --> 00:17:43,163
It was more of
an emphatic assertion.
495
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:44,664
Watch it. We rubes know how
to throw down.
496
00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:48,101
Just teach her some terms;
a vocabulary.
497
00:17:48,135 --> 00:17:50,603
For starters, no one "attends"
a stock car race.
498
00:17:50,637 --> 00:17:52,539
You're just goin'.
Like as not, goin' drunk.
499
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,006
Good, but I don't think
Dr. Bartlet'll
500
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,242
will be getting liquored up.
501
00:17:55,275 --> 00:17:57,076
Too bad.
Otherwise, it gets kinda boring.
502
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:59,146
Teach her when to cheer.
503
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:00,513
Stuff like that.
504
00:18:00,547 --> 00:18:03,015
Just make sure we avoid
a flyover values disaster.
505
00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:04,951
Sorry?
The people
in the middle
506
00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:05,885
of the country
who you fly over
507
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:06,853
when you're trying to get to...
508
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:08,655
Real cities?
509
00:18:08,688 --> 00:18:10,056
Can't imagine why you're worried
about offending them.
510
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,591
The Labor Secretary.
511
00:18:12,859 --> 00:18:14,461
Yeah. Thanks.
512
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:18,365
( chuckles )
513
00:18:18,398 --> 00:18:20,200
BARTLET ( on tape):
Interdiction without
514
00:18:20,233 --> 00:18:23,436
intervention, eradication
without education
515
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:27,374
leaves root causes
to linger and fester,
516
00:18:27,407 --> 00:18:28,908
damning our most
vigorous efforts...
517
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:30,109
What are you watching?
518
00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:32,945
State of The Union.
519
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:34,681
I don't remember hearing
that last night.
520
00:18:34,714 --> 00:18:35,915
Second year.
Oh.
521
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:37,250
You need something?
522
00:18:37,284 --> 00:18:39,319
Just felt bad about running
out on you this morning.
523
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,554
Wanted to see if there was
a time you could catch me up.
524
00:18:41,588 --> 00:18:42,789
Whatever's good.
525
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:44,324
This afternoon?
Mm-hmm.
526
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:45,592
Who should I coordinate
the time with?
527
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:47,059
That'd be me.
528
00:18:47,093 --> 00:18:49,028
Okay. How's 6:00?
529
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:50,597
That works.
530
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,265
I'll be here.
I don't mind
going over.
531
00:18:52,299 --> 00:18:53,933
Could stand the exercise.
532
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:54,934
I'll come to you.
533
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:55,935
That's fine.
534
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:58,137
See you then.
535
00:18:58,171 --> 00:19:00,673
...in both the cost
to our national treasury
536
00:19:00,707 --> 00:19:04,143
as well as our citizenry,
trapped in a disease
537
00:19:04,177 --> 00:19:06,313
as insidious as it is neglected.
538
00:19:06,346 --> 00:19:07,414
TOBY:
You're bailing.
539
00:19:07,447 --> 00:19:08,615
SWARTHOUT:
We're not bailing.
540
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,883
The Earned Income Tax Credit
is a Democratic issue!
541
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:13,019
We can probably push
it out of Committee
at $500 million.
542
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:14,687
Great. The President called
for $10 billion.
543
00:19:14,721 --> 00:19:15,688
That would be more.
544
00:19:15,722 --> 00:19:16,489
He got an applause break
545
00:19:16,523 --> 00:19:17,324
from both sides of the aisle.
546
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:18,325
AUREN:
That was last night.
547
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:19,726
In the sober light of dawn,
548
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:21,628
the Republicans are going to
insist on added enforcements.
549
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,129
Why is their sobriety
giving me a hangover?
550
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,130
Fraud prevention,
551
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:25,598
accounting measures...
552
00:19:25,632 --> 00:19:27,200
These are families
at the bottom rung of
the educational ladder.
553
00:19:27,234 --> 00:19:28,535
Adding paperwork's
just going to confuse them.
554
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:30,102
Tell them I'll be there
in a few minutes.
555
00:19:30,136 --> 00:19:31,304
It's all right.
We're done.
556
00:19:31,338 --> 00:19:32,905
No, we're not done
and you're not bailing.
557
00:19:32,939 --> 00:19:34,574
It's a Republican Congress.
We have to be flexible.
558
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:36,142
Why does no one ever come
in here and say,
559
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:37,544
"This is
a Democratic White House.
560
00:19:37,577 --> 00:19:39,346
Maybe we should start
reflecting it"?
561
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:40,447
We don't have the votes.
562
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,848
Day after the State
of the Union,
563
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:44,116
Presidents customarily go
barnstorming to sell it.
564
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:45,285
Don't lecture us
565
00:19:45,318 --> 00:19:47,754
on how to wield this
White House's clout.
566
00:19:50,156 --> 00:19:51,824
She really said that?
567
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:54,394
If she wasn't a woman,
we might've had
to throw down.
568
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:56,128
Regional colloquialism.
569
00:19:56,162 --> 00:19:57,297
So, what's the next step?
570
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:58,130
I'm not sure
there is one.
571
00:19:58,164 --> 00:19:59,131
The EITC's just dead?
572
00:19:59,165 --> 00:20:00,333
No, no, Timmy.
573
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:01,368
It's at a nice farm
in the country
574
00:20:01,401 --> 00:20:03,169
where it can play
with other dogs.
575
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,871
How did last night
turn into this morning?
576
00:20:04,904 --> 00:20:05,772
A Bolivian blowup,
577
00:20:05,805 --> 00:20:07,740
bad employment numbers,
a hole in a fence...
578
00:20:07,774 --> 00:20:09,008
And this.
579
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,444
The Majority Leader's
been in the Treaty Room since,
580
00:20:11,478 --> 00:20:12,845
well, he says since Tuesday--
581
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:16,249
the NOA administrator called
about the flood area in Hawaii.
582
00:20:16,283 --> 00:20:18,318
He's setting up a conference
call with FEMA
583
00:20:18,351 --> 00:20:19,319
and the Governor.
584
00:20:19,352 --> 00:20:20,320
And you have
a meeting with Leo.
585
00:20:20,353 --> 00:20:21,554
If things are too wild,
586
00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:22,889
I can always
find you later.
587
00:20:22,922 --> 00:20:23,990
Carol's looking for you.
588
00:20:24,023 --> 00:20:26,859
Something about the Labor
Secretary threatening to quit.
589
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,060
You saw the new furniture?
590
00:20:28,094 --> 00:20:29,061
Leo, I'm sorry. I'm
afraid I'm going...
591
00:20:29,095 --> 00:20:30,363
Sure, we'll get to it.
592
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,332
Majority Leader,
natural disaster.
593
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:36,736
( phone rings )
594
00:20:36,769 --> 00:20:37,737
Busy day.
595
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:38,705
Yeah.
596
00:20:45,678 --> 00:20:46,679
TOBY:
One week.
597
00:20:46,713 --> 00:20:47,480
Can we not do this?
598
00:20:47,514 --> 00:20:48,981
One week in support
of the man
599
00:20:49,015 --> 00:20:50,417
who plucked him out
of obscurity.
600
00:20:50,450 --> 00:20:51,751
He was a widely known
congressman.
601
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:54,354
As a joke. You and I
made fun of him together.
602
00:20:54,387 --> 00:20:56,055
You guys picked him.
I wasn't in that room.
603
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,357
You think I was?
604
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:58,825
Then be mad at the President,
or Leo,
605
00:20:58,858 --> 00:20:59,892
or whoever else was there.
606
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:00,893
( beeper sounds )
607
00:21:00,927 --> 00:21:02,495
And pick a position.
608
00:21:02,529 --> 00:21:04,864
You can't think
he's a complete joke
and embarrassment
609
00:21:04,897 --> 00:21:06,833
and then be upset
he's not out there
helping you more.
610
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:07,867
Yes, I can.
611
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:08,868
Look, he's supportive.
612
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:09,869
He'll continue to be.
613
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:11,203
If it's in his interest.
614
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:13,506
Oh, I'm sorry.
Have the rules of politics
been suspended this year?
615
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:15,342
The rules of politics
should be suspended
616
00:21:15,375 --> 00:21:16,743
any chance we get.
It's disloyalty!
617
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:19,045
The Vice President has been
nothing but steadfast.
618
00:21:19,078 --> 00:21:20,012
I wasn't talking about him.
619
00:21:21,681 --> 00:21:23,550
BARTLET:
...to widen the circle
of opportunity,
620
00:21:23,583 --> 00:21:25,785
to deepen the meaning
of our freedom.
621
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:28,054
Hey, Leo.
Hey.
622
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:29,322
Whatcha watching?
623
00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:31,123
Old State of The Unions.
624
00:21:31,157 --> 00:21:32,258
What for?
625
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:35,828
Just curious.
How you doing?
626
00:21:35,862 --> 00:21:36,896
A little whiplashed.
627
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:37,930
Last night was such a high.
628
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:40,299
There is a staffer
sitting at the adult table.
629
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:41,300
Watched it at home.
630
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:42,535
My sister threw me a party
631
00:21:42,569 --> 00:21:44,971
'cause I got a line
in the speech.
632
00:21:45,004 --> 00:21:48,274
"We must help those working
hardest to help themselves."e?
633
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,410
I see your fingerprints
all over it.
634
00:21:50,443 --> 00:21:51,744
Only, EITC's
already in trouble.
635
00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:52,979
The whiplash.
Yeah.
636
00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:53,980
House Dems?
637
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:55,081
They're defeatist,
638
00:21:55,114 --> 00:21:56,349
and Annabeth doesn't like
its name.
639
00:21:56,383 --> 00:21:57,384
She's not wrong.
640
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:58,518
I don't get excited
641
00:21:58,551 --> 00:22:00,286
when I hear EITC, do you?
642
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,121
Maybe if it had
a more memorable name,
643
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:03,556
it'd be easier to fight for?
644
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:07,727
I think if we could define it
more clearly as a tax cut
645
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,328
so a vote against it is seen
as raising taxes
646
00:22:09,362 --> 00:22:10,530
on the working poor.
647
00:22:14,801 --> 00:22:16,869
I don't see
how you easily oppose it.
648
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:21,608
WOMAN (on TV):
I had just dropped off
my kids at school.
649
00:22:21,641 --> 00:22:24,010
Thank God, because I don't
know what to tell them.
650
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:25,011
Who is...
651
00:22:25,044 --> 00:22:27,747
Contractor's wife.
652
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:29,048
...they said
call my congressman.
653
00:22:29,081 --> 00:22:32,585
I called him, he said
call the State Department.
654
00:22:32,619 --> 00:22:35,388
No one is taking responsibility.
655
00:22:35,422 --> 00:22:36,923
ANNABETH:
Toby.
656
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:39,859
Yeah?
657
00:22:39,892 --> 00:22:44,130
My husband is an engineer,
not a soldier.
658
00:22:53,272 --> 00:22:54,541
Not in there.
659
00:22:54,574 --> 00:22:57,544
Oh.
I don't have anything.
660
00:22:57,577 --> 00:22:58,811
He's in the residence.
661
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:00,212
Oh, okay.
662
00:23:00,246 --> 00:23:01,448
Napping.
663
00:23:02,682 --> 00:23:05,251
Not to be disturbed
unless there's an emergency.
664
00:23:05,284 --> 00:23:06,085
It wasn't on my schedule.
665
00:23:06,118 --> 00:23:07,386
Or mine.
666
00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:08,521
Will you
let me know when
667
00:23:08,555 --> 00:23:10,790
he comes
back down?
668
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:12,659
My first call.
669
00:23:19,365 --> 00:23:21,501
Oh...
670
00:23:21,534 --> 00:23:22,669
are you the one who's going
671
00:23:22,702 --> 00:23:24,036
to teach me
proper speedway decorum?
672
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:26,806
How to win friends and
influence yokels, yes, ma'am.
673
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:28,675
Ah, now, if I'd made
a crack like that
674
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,477
you'd think me a terrible snob.
675
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:32,712
What did you turn down
to make room for Martinsville?
676
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:36,449
NIH symposium on molecular
structures and bio-imaging.
677
00:23:36,483 --> 00:23:39,652
Not a lot of NASCAR crossover.
678
00:23:39,686 --> 00:23:41,420
Let's start with the dress code.
679
00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:43,089
Jeans. T-shirt.
680
00:23:43,122 --> 00:23:44,290
Oh, and can you borrow
681
00:23:44,323 --> 00:23:45,758
the President's leather
flight jacket?
682
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:47,460
You don't find that
a tad inappropriate?
683
00:23:47,494 --> 00:23:48,661
Well, there'll
be women there
684
00:23:48,695 --> 00:23:50,296
in bikinis on lounge
chairs in the RV park.
685
00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:52,364
Inappropriate's
still a ways off.
686
00:23:52,398 --> 00:23:54,834
I've given this a lot
of thought and I know
687
00:23:54,867 --> 00:23:57,336
something that we
can bond over so far as
688
00:23:57,369 --> 00:23:58,170
stock cars
are concerned.
689
00:23:58,204 --> 00:23:59,171
That would be?
690
00:23:59,205 --> 00:24:00,773
We're both women.
691
00:24:00,807 --> 00:24:01,574
Okay...
692
00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:02,642
Women make up 55%
693
00:24:02,675 --> 00:24:04,276
of the audience
for NASCAR events.
694
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:05,845
More than any other
major league sport.
695
00:24:05,878 --> 00:24:06,679
Well, I wonder why.
696
00:24:06,713 --> 00:24:07,880
Well, everyone has
their theories,
697
00:24:07,914 --> 00:24:09,482
but I'm gonna
tell you plain.
698
00:24:09,516 --> 00:24:10,717
It's the drivers.
699
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,418
They're a bunch of studs.
700
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:13,419
Mm-hmm.
701
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,654
Well-built hotties
running around
702
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:15,922
in tight-fitting
fire suits.
703
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:16,756
Hotties.
704
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:19,158
Hotsy-tot, Hottentot
hotties, ma'am.
705
00:24:19,191 --> 00:24:21,794
Well, that's all very
well and good, but I don't...
706
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:25,164
Oh, my.
He'll be there.
707
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:26,566
And him...
708
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,300
Oh, and this one...
709
00:24:28,334 --> 00:24:30,236
The one with the eyes?
710
00:24:30,269 --> 00:24:31,237
One of the favorites.
711
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:32,471
I would imagine.
712
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:39,011
You see the wife?
713
00:24:39,045 --> 00:24:39,812
Yeah.
714
00:24:39,846 --> 00:24:41,147
You're going
to have to brief.
715
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:42,715
These guys...
716
00:24:42,749 --> 00:24:44,851
absolutely, positively not CIA?
717
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:46,653
Definitely,
definitively not.
718
00:24:46,686 --> 00:24:48,420
Don't lean
on that, Toby.
Why?
719
00:24:48,454 --> 00:24:49,589
They're U.S. paid mercenaries.
720
00:24:49,622 --> 00:24:50,690
Former military, most of them.
721
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:51,924
Special Ops, SEALS, Marines.
722
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:53,626
We're in distinction
without a difference land.
723
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:55,294
Little bit.
I don't see it
that way.
724
00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,729
It's not your job to.
725
00:24:56,763 --> 00:24:58,430
They weren't doing
what they've been accused of.
726
00:24:58,464 --> 00:24:59,732
That's our statement.
And I'm late.
727
00:25:03,469 --> 00:25:05,071
Anyone talk to Leo?
728
00:25:05,104 --> 00:25:06,973
He's in his office watching
State of the Unions.
729
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:08,007
Unions?
730
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,075
Old ones.
731
00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:18,551
Yeah?
732
00:25:18,585 --> 00:25:20,787
We said 3:30?
733
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:25,858
We did.
734
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:26,826
So...
735
00:25:29,729 --> 00:25:32,064
What's your day
been like?
736
00:25:32,098 --> 00:25:34,333
It's quiet. Yours?
737
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:35,968
Not quiet.
738
00:25:36,002 --> 00:25:37,536
Bolivia.
Yeah.
739
00:25:37,570 --> 00:25:40,072
Korea.
Things down in Burundi.
740
00:25:40,106 --> 00:25:42,374
What?
Oh, just...
741
00:25:42,408 --> 00:25:43,409
These contractors operate
742
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:44,977
under such vague guidelines
743
00:25:45,011 --> 00:25:46,846
just because that's the way
everyone wants it.
744
00:25:46,879 --> 00:25:48,447
There's no congressional
oversight, no controls,
745
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,282
and a whole lot
of money changing hands.
746
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:51,217
You know these guys?
747
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:53,319
Not these, but...
748
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:55,087
Yeah, I know these guys.
749
00:25:55,121 --> 00:25:56,923
And it's not just
that it's futile, you know.
750
00:25:56,956 --> 00:25:59,058
I mean, as long as Americans
are willing to pay
751
00:25:59,091 --> 00:26:01,594
$60 a gram for cocaine,
some peasant farmer
752
00:26:01,628 --> 00:26:04,030
earning $60 a year
is going to grow it.
753
00:26:04,063 --> 00:26:07,700
But it's just so geopolitically
counterproductive.
754
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:09,936
We turn their villages
into war zones,
755
00:26:09,969 --> 00:26:12,538
we destroy their land, we poison
their families with herbicides
756
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:13,973
and then we're
all surprised
757
00:26:14,006 --> 00:26:16,275
when they go vote
for the Socialist.
758
00:26:16,308 --> 00:26:17,710
( sighs ):
Sorry.
759
00:26:17,744 --> 00:26:21,748
It's a, um...
crappy day.
760
00:26:23,315 --> 00:26:25,051
It's my annivorcery.
761
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:27,053
Anni-what?
762
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,120
( pager beeping )
763
00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:29,622
Annivorce.
764
00:26:29,656 --> 00:26:32,191
It's the anniversary
of my divorce.
765
00:26:32,224 --> 00:26:33,359
Didn't know you'd been married.
766
00:26:33,392 --> 00:26:34,694
Couple times.
767
00:26:34,727 --> 00:26:35,695
Hopeless romantic.
768
00:26:35,728 --> 00:26:38,564
Hopeless, anyway. You?
769
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:40,299
Yeah.
770
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:41,901
What did you want to talk about?
771
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:43,169
Sorry.
772
00:26:43,202 --> 00:26:45,237
Ms. Harper, they need you
in the Situation Room.
773
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:48,207
Maybe later.
774
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,142
PRESIDENT:
Debbie!
775
00:26:50,176 --> 00:26:51,744
That wasn't very long.
776
00:26:51,778 --> 00:26:52,812
I couldn't sleep.
777
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:53,880
Couldn't or wouldn't?
778
00:26:53,913 --> 00:26:55,614
I have three daughters
and a wife,
779
00:26:55,648 --> 00:26:57,249
two of whom
are also doctors.
780
00:26:57,283 --> 00:26:58,484
If you presume
781
00:26:58,517 --> 00:26:59,786
I don't get enough
of that sort of comment,
782
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:01,620
you're not really using
your imagination.
783
00:27:01,654 --> 00:27:04,056
Naps are restorative.
Churchill took them.
784
00:27:04,090 --> 00:27:05,958
Churchill also maintained
a 24-hour buzz.
785
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:08,460
These days, people who drink
that much during the day
786
00:27:08,494 --> 00:27:10,096
are encouraged
to attend meetings.
787
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:12,198
An individual perhaps more
for veneration than emulation.
788
00:27:12,231 --> 00:27:14,801
And I don't know where all this
restorative nonsense comes from.
789
00:27:14,834 --> 00:27:16,836
Every nap I've ever
taken in my life
790
00:27:16,869 --> 00:27:18,705
has left me feeling
groggy and on edge.
791
00:27:18,738 --> 00:27:19,772
I hadn't noticed.
792
00:27:19,806 --> 00:27:21,674
The NSA called,
Secretary of State,
793
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:23,776
NSA again,
saying talk to her
794
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:25,377
before you talk
to the Secretary of State.
795
00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:30,316
You're right.
796
00:27:32,384 --> 00:27:33,886
About so much.
797
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,521
To which specific
or category of things
798
00:27:35,554 --> 00:27:36,956
are you presently referring?
799
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,557
The Earned Income Tax
Credit needs a better name.
800
00:27:38,590 --> 00:27:39,692
To brand it.
801
00:27:39,726 --> 00:27:41,193
Not just something
zippier or catchier.
802
00:27:41,227 --> 00:27:42,494
Something to help you
fight for it.
803
00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:43,696
To make it harder
to fight against it.
804
00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:45,331
Deputy Secretary
Morrison again.
805
00:27:45,364 --> 00:27:47,433
( sighs )
806
00:27:50,036 --> 00:27:52,739
Workfare's taken.
Work Aid?
807
00:27:52,772 --> 00:27:54,473
Sounds like a handout.
808
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:55,674
Employment Incentive.
809
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:57,476
Oh, no.
That's terrible.
810
00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:58,477
Work Tax.
811
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,012
It's all a work tax.
812
00:28:00,046 --> 00:28:02,214
Poverty Tax.
813
00:28:02,248 --> 00:28:03,249
Mm, that's closer.
814
00:28:03,282 --> 00:28:04,450
Poor Tax.
815
00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:06,085
It's simple, direct...
816
00:28:06,118 --> 00:28:07,386
Poor Tax.
817
00:28:07,419 --> 00:28:08,687
It's good.
818
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:09,789
Do you want me to say
you'll call her back?
819
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:10,990
No, I'll be right there.
820
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:11,791
Hard to argue
821
00:28:11,824 --> 00:28:12,792
on the floor of Congress
822
00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:13,993
to institute a Poor Tax.
823
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,362
Yeah.
824
00:28:16,395 --> 00:28:17,897
Thanks.
825
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:21,000
This is Annabeth.
826
00:28:22,568 --> 00:28:24,603
TOBY:
Hey.
827
00:28:24,636 --> 00:28:25,604
Hey.
828
00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:27,239
Sorry about this morning.
829
00:28:27,273 --> 00:28:28,975
Oh, it happens.
830
00:28:29,008 --> 00:28:31,377
Heard you were watching
old State of the Unions.
831
00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:33,645
And Inaugurals.
832
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:36,115
Something wrong
with this year's speech?
833
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:38,217
What do you think?
834
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:39,485
I wrote it.
835
00:28:39,518 --> 00:28:40,920
You seemed remarkably
836
00:28:40,953 --> 00:28:43,622
uncomfortable accepting praise,
even for you.
837
00:28:43,655 --> 00:28:46,258
What are you doing here, Leo?
838
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:47,226
Watching old speeches
839
00:28:47,259 --> 00:28:49,929
and reading about
the founding fathers?
840
00:28:49,962 --> 00:28:52,799
We don't have time for you to
sit around like a garden Buddha,
841
00:28:52,832 --> 00:28:54,033
parsing out
fortune cookie wisdom.
842
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:55,835
We're getting buried alive here.
843
00:28:55,868 --> 00:28:57,770
Get up and grab a shovel.
844
00:28:57,804 --> 00:29:00,773
"While the assault weapons
ban may have ended,
845
00:29:00,807 --> 00:29:03,776
"the debate has not,
and I will
846
00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:05,711
fight this Congress as long..."
847
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:08,647
"As the senseless, needless
violence continues."
848
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,482
Second Inaugural.
849
00:29:10,516 --> 00:29:12,718
"The promise
of stem cell research
850
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:14,453
"has again been delayed
by congressional ban.
851
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,823
Imagine a child paralyzed
by a spinal cord injury..."
852
00:29:16,856 --> 00:29:19,458
"By a spinal cord injury,
watching, waiting,
853
00:29:19,491 --> 00:29:21,861
knowing that politics
is the obstacle to a cure."
854
00:29:21,894 --> 00:29:23,262
Third State of the Union.
855
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:26,432
I know what we said.
We all know what we said.
856
00:29:26,465 --> 00:29:29,468
Last night's State of the Union,
you pulled your punches.
857
00:29:31,971 --> 00:29:33,672
It was well received.
858
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,574
It's easy to applaud for
something that no one's
859
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:39,145
gonna make you
stand up and pass.
860
00:29:39,178 --> 00:29:41,713
"By any measure,
861
00:29:41,747 --> 00:29:43,449
"we're losing the war on drugs.
862
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,351
"Demand is exactly the same...
863
00:29:45,384 --> 00:29:47,353
Supply is the same,
but prices..."
"Supply is the same, but prices
864
00:29:47,386 --> 00:29:48,620
"have gone down.
865
00:29:48,654 --> 00:29:50,322
"It's time for a
comprehensive new approach
866
00:29:50,356 --> 00:29:54,994
to this nation's
dependence on drugs."
867
00:29:55,027 --> 00:29:56,728
That was in your rough draft
868
00:29:56,762 --> 00:29:57,729
of last
night's speech.
869
00:29:57,763 --> 00:29:58,764
I cut it.
870
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:00,232
Who told you to?
Nobody.
Nobody had to.
871
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:03,169
You've had a heart attack
and he can't stand up.
872
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:05,972
Day after every other
State of the Union,
873
00:30:06,005 --> 00:30:08,440
the President launches
a month-long road show
874
00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:10,309
to stump for what was in it.
875
00:30:10,342 --> 00:30:12,211
( pager beeping )
876
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:16,015
This year I get
Bingo Bob and a week.
877
00:30:25,191 --> 00:30:27,259
MAN:
Ten-hut.
878
00:30:27,293 --> 00:30:28,895
Let's see it.
879
00:30:28,928 --> 00:30:30,329
My name is Jonathan Creasy.
880
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,798
I am a private American citizen
working for Tarmacorp,
881
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:36,135
under a contract
with the U.S. government.
882
00:30:36,168 --> 00:30:39,438
I'm being held
with seven Americans.
883
00:30:39,471 --> 00:30:43,876
We will be released
subject to completion
884
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:47,013
of a fair and free election
885
00:30:47,046 --> 00:30:49,815
of the Bolivian Presidential
contest.
886
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,250
CJ:
"Fair and free"
887
00:30:51,283 --> 00:30:53,252

to a Zalaya victory.
888
00:30:53,285 --> 00:30:54,320
"A private citizen
889
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,855
under contract with
the U.S. government."
890
00:30:56,889 --> 00:31:00,492
Cognitive dissonance, anyone?
891
00:31:00,526 --> 00:31:02,028
Where are we on this?
892
00:31:02,061 --> 00:31:03,829
A P-3 off the Misawa.
893
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,864
PACCOM is coordinating
the search.
894
00:31:05,898 --> 00:31:07,499
Anything?
No.
895
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,635
It's a jungle
out there.
896
00:31:09,668 --> 00:31:11,403
And the Bolivian government?
897
00:31:11,437 --> 00:31:12,838
Rock and a hard place.
898
00:31:12,871 --> 00:31:14,573
They want to help their
good friend the U.S.,
899
00:31:14,606 --> 00:31:16,342
but are terrified of looking
like they were helping
900
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,543
in case Zalaya wins.
901
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:18,810
They don't want to be up here
902
00:31:18,844 --> 00:31:20,379
in two weeks time
seeking political asylum.
903
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:21,914
We find them,
who mounts a rescue
904
00:31:21,948 --> 00:31:24,150
if not the Bolivians,
Tarmacorp, us?
905
00:31:24,183 --> 00:31:25,084
Not us.
906
00:31:25,117 --> 00:31:26,118
Tarmacorp's flying
Vietnam era Hueys.
907
00:31:26,152 --> 00:31:28,020
They go down, we end up
908
00:31:28,054 --> 00:31:29,621
with more contractors
to find and rescue.
909
00:31:29,655 --> 00:31:30,756
They're not U.S. troops.
910
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:32,224
Why? Because we pay them
through a middleman?
911
00:31:32,258 --> 00:31:33,625
Nobody forced them
to go down there.
912
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,461
Maybe you'll get to explain
that to their widows.
913
00:31:35,494 --> 00:31:36,262
When's the election?
914
00:31:36,295 --> 00:31:37,463
CJ:
Ten days.
915
00:31:37,496 --> 00:31:39,765
Do we believe that
916
00:31:39,798 --> 00:31:41,333
Zalaya will
release them?
917
00:31:41,367 --> 00:31:43,235
If he wins.
918
00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:45,571
If he doesn't?
919
00:31:45,604 --> 00:31:46,805
C.J.:
Will we find them?
920
00:31:46,838 --> 00:31:49,275
A jungle, they know
the best hiding places.
921
00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:50,109
We'll need a tip.
922
00:31:50,142 --> 00:31:51,210
These are tough guys.
923
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:52,844
They gonna hold out
till the election?
924
00:31:52,878 --> 00:31:54,046
You saw the video.
925
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,714
When you're being held,
ten days is a long time.
926
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:56,882
Have you ever been held?
927
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:58,650
I've held other people.
928
00:31:58,684 --> 00:32:00,586
24 hours is a long time.
929
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:18,070
Yeah?
930
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:21,040
Oh, is it 6:00 already?
931
00:32:21,073 --> 00:32:22,041
I can come back.
932
00:32:22,074 --> 00:32:24,476
No, no. Come in.
Come in.
933
00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:25,711
How you doing?
934
00:32:25,744 --> 00:32:27,079
Oh, you know.
935
00:32:27,113 --> 00:32:28,947
Have to head back to New
Hampshire tomorrow afternoon.
936
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:32,985
We're up ten points
in the polls.
937
00:32:33,019 --> 00:32:35,187
Getting tired
of people treating me
938
00:32:35,221 --> 00:32:36,555
like I've sold
my soul to the devil.
939
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:37,823
You think you have?
940
00:32:37,856 --> 00:32:39,291
Well, I don't think
the V.P.'s the devil.
941
00:32:39,325 --> 00:32:41,827
And I don't think
I've sold my soul.
942
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,962
I may have rented it
out for a bit.
943
00:32:43,996 --> 00:32:45,197
Why do you say that?
944
00:32:45,231 --> 00:32:46,932
Well, I was
mostly joking.
945
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,900
I don't think
he's the devil.
946
00:32:48,934 --> 00:32:50,702
I don't know what
I think of him, really.
947
00:32:50,736 --> 00:32:52,871
Catalogue his qualities.
948
00:32:52,904 --> 00:32:55,274
The negative ones
everyone knows,
949
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:58,544
and never ceases delighting
in reminding me about.
950
00:32:58,577 --> 00:32:59,545
His other qualities?
951
00:32:59,578 --> 00:33:02,648
He's...
plain-spoken.
952
00:33:02,681 --> 00:33:03,949
He's clear and direct.
953
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,485
Doesn't have a multitrack mind
954
00:33:06,518 --> 00:33:07,719
like the President,
955
00:33:07,753 --> 00:33:09,655
but that's not
always a bad thing.
956
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:11,223
The truth is,
957
00:33:11,257 --> 00:33:14,060
and I'm not sure I ever even
realized this before now,
958
00:33:14,093 --> 00:33:15,927
I've spent the last year
and a half
959
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:19,165
looking for
what you saw in him,
960
00:33:19,198 --> 00:33:20,666
you and the President,
961
00:33:20,699 --> 00:33:23,569
when you gave him this job.
962
00:33:23,602 --> 00:33:25,071
You picked Russell,
963
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:26,472
him, to serve as V.P.
964
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:28,474
to a President with a serious
health condition.
965
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:31,943
You were aware you were picking
a potential successor.
966
00:33:31,977 --> 00:33:34,280
On some level, I've
just trusted that
967
00:33:34,313 --> 00:33:37,583
and assumed I'd eventually
discover what you knew then.
968
00:33:37,616 --> 00:33:39,418
Have you?
969
00:33:39,451 --> 00:33:42,354
Tell me what it was,
we'll compare notes.
970
00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:44,756
I know, doesn't
work like that.
971
00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:47,359
He's my guy, I have to figure
him out on my own.
972
00:33:47,393 --> 00:33:50,796
Sorry to interrupt, but you've
got to see the First Lady.
973
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:54,233
Let's see it.
974
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:57,769
( cheering on TV )
975
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:13,385
Such a good sport.
976
00:34:13,419 --> 00:34:15,454
To take one like that
for the fly-over states.
977
00:34:15,487 --> 00:34:17,456
Did you brief her
about the kiss?
978
00:34:17,489 --> 00:34:18,324
They loved it.
979
00:34:18,357 --> 00:34:19,558
The First Lady,
for both of you.
980
00:34:19,591 --> 00:34:23,995
Who gets pissed about
kissing a NASCAR driver?
981
00:34:24,029 --> 00:34:26,532
Another hour of
my life gone.
982
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:29,301
Of course we want to avert
disaster in South Dakota,
983
00:34:29,335 --> 00:34:32,838
but I can't take this
to the President just yet.
984
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:35,474
No.
985
00:34:35,507 --> 00:34:38,043
Thank you, Governor.
986
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:40,846
Trouble
in South Dakota?
987
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:44,716
In about a thousand years.
988
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:45,851
Mt. Rushmore's on the move.
989
00:34:45,884 --> 00:34:47,153
How far has
it gone so far?
990
00:34:47,186 --> 00:34:48,587
About an inch.
991
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:52,424
I hope you don't mind.
992
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:56,061
Looks great.
993
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:57,095
Nobody ever
thought to put
994
00:34:57,129 --> 00:34:58,864
fresh cut flowers
on my desk,
995
00:34:58,897 --> 00:35:02,501
despite 18 acres
of gardens outside.
996
00:35:02,534 --> 00:35:03,302
Majority Leader.
997
00:35:03,335 --> 00:35:04,870
Oh, you should
take that.
998
00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:07,439
I'll call him back.
999
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:14,045
I could've used you
in the Sit Room today.
1000
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,414
I heard you had it
under control.
1001
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,583
Didn't
feel like it.
Never does.
1002
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:24,122
You're doing great.
1003
00:35:24,156 --> 00:35:25,857
The President's
in the residence.
1004
00:35:25,891 --> 00:35:27,125
Does he want
me to...
1005
00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:28,527
No, I'm sorry,
that's for me.
1006
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,762
Let him know I'm
coming right up.
1007
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:31,897
We're having dinner.
1008
00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:34,065
Probably should have run that
by the Chief of Staff.
1009
00:35:34,099 --> 00:35:36,101
Oh, Chief of Staff
has enough on her plate.
1010
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,737
I'm sorry we didn't
get to talk today,
1011
00:35:38,770 --> 00:35:39,838
We'll find
time tomorrow.
1012
00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:41,240
Sure.
1013
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,716
It was easier for me.
1014
00:35:50,749 --> 00:35:52,651
You as my press
secretary,
1015
00:35:52,684 --> 00:35:54,653
Sam, Josh, Toby...
1016
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:55,654
Toby?
1017
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:57,323
Toby's always been Toby.
1018
00:35:57,356 --> 00:36:00,158
Still took me a year to figure
out what the hell I was doing,
1019
00:36:00,192 --> 00:36:01,660
and those were the easy years.
1020
00:36:01,693 --> 00:36:03,429
We had easy years?
1021
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,598
Easier than this.
1022
00:36:09,901 --> 00:36:11,670
Margaret.
1023
00:36:11,703 --> 00:36:13,472
What's next?
1024
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:22,881
How's yours?
1025
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:24,250
This heart healthy stuff,
1026
00:36:24,283 --> 00:36:27,118
I have to keep reminding
myself it's good for me.
1027
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:29,187
At least it resembles
actual food.
1028
00:36:29,221 --> 00:36:31,823
Abbey's got me on this
macrobiotic diet.
1029
00:36:31,857 --> 00:36:33,492
That does look a little grim.
1030
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,927
What I wouldn't give
for a burger and fries.
1031
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:37,195
A cream sauce.
1032
00:36:37,229 --> 00:36:39,631
I'd like to have the occasional
light cream sauce
1033
00:36:39,665 --> 00:36:44,202
without everyone reacting like
it's a suicide attempt.
1034
00:36:44,236 --> 00:36:46,838
So, tonight, Abbey's
out of town.
1035
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:48,039
We can turn
the residence
1036
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:49,808
into a fort
and sword fight
1037
00:36:49,841 --> 00:36:51,710
with empty paper
towel rolls.
1038
00:36:51,743 --> 00:36:52,878
( laughs )
1039
00:36:57,516 --> 00:37:00,519
So you feel pretty good about
last night's State of the Union?
1040
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:02,621
According to at least
six op eds,
1041
00:37:02,654 --> 00:37:05,156
I set an ambitious
national agenda.
1042
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:08,126
Is that what you think?
1043
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:09,928
You have a chance to figure out
1044
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:12,097
what you'd
like to do around here?
1045
00:37:12,130 --> 00:37:13,332
Have you?
1046
00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:14,566
Don't do this, Leo.
1047
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,635
Not the day after
the State of the Union.
1048
00:37:16,668 --> 00:37:18,470
Everyone's walking around here
like we're finished.
1049
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:21,307
We got 365 more days.
1050
00:37:21,340 --> 00:37:22,841
It's year eight,
1051
00:37:22,874 --> 00:37:24,910
it's a Republican Congress
and I'm hemorrhaging staff.
1052
00:37:24,943 --> 00:37:26,478
Four years ago we announced
1053
00:37:26,512 --> 00:37:27,879
a Blue Ribbon Commission
on entitlements.
1054
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:28,980
Why wasn't
it mentioned?
1055
00:37:29,014 --> 00:37:30,482
Two years ago,
you announced
1056
00:37:30,516 --> 00:37:32,150
a commitment
to stem cell research.
1057
00:37:32,183 --> 00:37:33,752
The legislation
died in Congress.
1058
00:37:33,785 --> 00:37:35,521
Leo, you held the wake.
1059
00:37:35,554 --> 00:37:37,856
What happened to the drug
treatment policy last night?
1060
00:37:37,889 --> 00:37:39,525
We had to narrow our focus.
1061
00:37:39,558 --> 00:37:41,727
Now's the time to widen,
not narrow focus.
1062
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,495
What are you saving your
political capital for?
1063
00:37:43,529 --> 00:37:45,464
I have a responsibility
to the party.
1064
00:37:45,497 --> 00:37:48,266
You have a responsibility
to the country, sir.
1065
00:37:50,702 --> 00:37:56,975
The American people
sent you here for two terms.
1066
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:57,943
Eight years.
1067
00:38:01,246 --> 00:38:03,315
So the last one's
gonna be harder.
1068
00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:06,217
I've never known you
to shy away from a fight.
1069
00:38:06,251 --> 00:38:08,654
And I've never had
to make a speech
1070
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:12,991
based on the maximum amount
of time I could stand up.
1071
00:38:31,209 --> 00:38:35,914
Those excuses I kept
hearing all day?
1072
00:38:35,947 --> 00:38:39,217
Nobody mentioned MS.
1073
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:40,986
272 words.
1074
00:38:41,019 --> 00:38:43,489
That's all Lincoln said
at the Gettysburg Address.
1075
00:38:43,522 --> 00:38:46,458
It took four minutes,
1076
00:38:46,492 --> 00:38:50,362
and set the tone
for the next century.
1077
00:38:50,396 --> 00:38:54,800
You wanted to talk about
what I could do here.
1078
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:56,034
It's this.
1079
00:38:58,303 --> 00:39:02,441
Said the man
with the double bypass.
1080
00:39:09,415 --> 00:39:11,550
The both of us, sir,
this is our last game.
1081
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:17,088
Let's leave it all
out on the field.
1082
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:34,139
TOBY:
You know why
we got called in?
1083
00:39:34,172 --> 00:39:35,140
No idea.
1084
00:39:35,173 --> 00:39:36,808
Well, I almost got
to eat dinner.
1085
00:39:36,842 --> 00:39:38,477
You want to hear
something depressing?
1086
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:40,946
This disrupts my evening
not one bit.
1087
00:39:40,979 --> 00:39:42,247
ANNABETH:
Ten o'clock?
1088
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,615
I had a date.
1089
00:39:43,649 --> 00:39:44,816
You had a date
tonight?
1090
00:39:44,850 --> 00:39:46,418
I always have a date.
1091
00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:49,387
Welcome back.
1092
00:39:54,493 --> 00:39:55,827
What's going on?
1093
00:39:55,861 --> 00:39:58,430
The President should
be down in a minute.
1094
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,304
Everybody here?
1095
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:07,372
Yes, sir.
1096
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,675
Follow me.
1097
00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:13,812
ANNABETH:
What's this all about?
1098
00:40:13,845 --> 00:40:15,947
Stock market crash
in Guyana, perhaps.
1099
00:40:15,981 --> 00:40:18,517
And me with all my money
in sapodilla futures.
1100
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:38,670
Hey.
Hey.
1101
00:40:38,704 --> 00:40:40,171
Welcome.
1102
00:40:40,205 --> 00:40:43,875
Thank you all for coming
back in on a school night.
1103
00:40:43,909 --> 00:40:45,844
I had dinner with
an old friend tonight.
1104
00:40:45,877 --> 00:40:48,379
I thought everyone should
hear what he had to say.
1105
00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:50,582
I want to read you something.
1106
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:55,554
"The harder
the conflict,
1107
00:40:55,587 --> 00:40:57,556
"the more glorious the triumph.
1108
00:40:57,589 --> 00:41:00,726
"What we obtain too cheap,
we esteem too lightly;
1109
00:41:00,759 --> 00:41:05,063
'tis dearness only that gives
everything its value."
1110
00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:06,064
You?
1111
00:41:06,097 --> 00:41:07,432
Thomas Paine.
1112
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,167
He said "'tis."
Might have been a clue?
1113
00:41:10,669 --> 00:41:12,671
Busy day around here today.
1114
00:41:12,704 --> 00:41:14,072
What'd you spend it on?
1115
00:41:14,105 --> 00:41:15,073
Uh, Bolivia.
1116
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:16,675
Well, no,
you spent it on
1117
00:41:16,708 --> 00:41:20,211
a situation in Bolivia,
a crisis.
1118
00:41:20,245 --> 00:41:21,312
I understand that
1119
00:41:21,346 --> 00:41:22,714
gravitational pull.
1120
00:41:22,748 --> 00:41:24,249
North Korea pokes
a hole in the fence,
1121
00:41:24,282 --> 00:41:25,717
it gets your
attention.
1122
00:41:25,751 --> 00:41:27,185
As do whiny Cabinet members,
1123
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:28,654
floods,
1124
00:41:28,687 --> 00:41:30,622
and new employment figures.
1125
00:41:30,656 --> 00:41:32,891
Pretty soon it's
the whole day.
1126
00:41:32,924 --> 00:41:35,160
Problem is,
we're running out of them.
1127
00:41:44,402 --> 00:41:47,839
That's how much time
we have left.
1128
00:41:47,873 --> 00:41:49,407
We have the ability to affect
1129
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,843
more change in a day
at the White House
1130
00:41:51,877 --> 00:41:58,249
than we'll have in a lifetime
once we walk out these doors.
1131
00:41:58,283 --> 00:41:59,885
What do you
want to do with them?
1132
00:42:09,928 --> 00:42:12,798
We should finally get
serious about health care,
1133
00:42:12,831 --> 00:42:15,266
whether it calls
attention
1134
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:17,569
to the President's
MS or not.
1135
00:42:20,505 --> 00:42:22,741
A new approach to Latin America.
1136
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:28,046
A real commitment
to drug treatment.
1137
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:29,681
What else?
The Vice
President and I
1138
00:42:29,715 --> 00:42:32,083
think it's time to talk
about race in this country.
1139
00:42:32,117 --> 00:42:33,184
He's right.
I've got some
ideas on how
1140
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:34,285
to increase opportunity
1141
00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:35,721
for the working
poor.
We both do.
1142
00:42:35,754 --> 00:42:37,923
Talking about repackaging
the EITC.
1143
00:42:37,956 --> 00:42:39,791
Poor Tax.
1144
00:42:39,825 --> 00:42:41,793
( all making suggestions )
