Previously, on The West Wing:

I just like your smile
is all.

I wouldn't mind
seeing it more often.

The President's ready
to hire a lead secretary.

That's good.
He asked me to start
putting together a search.

Well, I'm sorry
about th...

"Sorry" doesn't
get me 218

and why the hell
don't you know

what Ritchie's
commitments are

before you get anywhere
near my schedule?!

Win the damn vote.

You're going to the women's
movement out of business?

There's a bigger picture.
There's an election
in November.

If you win by selling out
the party, who cares who wins?

He's killed
innocent people.

He'll kill more.
So, we have to end him.

Let Shareef come here
and we have options;

cancel the trip
and we have none.

( laughing and chatting )

C.J.:
We're leaving exactly one hour
later than we'd planned.

At 5:00, he'll board Marine One
for the trip to Andrews

where he'll board Air Force One
for the trip to New York.

We're just trying to be helpful

because we understand
that a presidential motorcade

rolling through
midtown Manhattan

at around 6:00, 6:30,
really helps keep things

well-lubed up there.

As a matter of fact,
we apologize to New Yorkers

for the inconvenience,
but the delay was inevitable.

( all chuckling )

I meant to say "unavoidable."

The delay was unavoidable.

The President will make
a short visit at City Hall

and be in his seat at 7:30.

MAN:
Why is this such
an early curtain?

The play is 19 hours long.

( laughter )

It's long.
It's 51/////2 hours.

Do you have a nose count yet
this morning?

On the welfare bill?

Yeah. I heard there was
more movement last night.

Yeah, there's movement.
It's close.
How close?

Look at the color
of Josh Lyman's hair.

How much of at least
the summer plan
for the campaign

depends on winning the vote?

I'd go beyond that.

I'd say the future of
the entire world depends on it.

I don't want to scare anybody

but I'd call
your congressman. Mark?

Seriously, $50 if you give me
a straight answer.

Are they going to meet tonight?

The President
and Governor Ritchie?

Yes.
I don't know.

Now, I'll have to blow it
on booze and women.

Anything else?
I'll see you in New York.

Wait, you never told us
why the delay.

I'm sorry?

Why is the President
leaving an hour later?

He scheduled
a last-minute meeting.

With who?

Good question.

Qumari Defense Minister,
Abdul Shareef.

How'd the Pentagon
put it on the schedule?

FITZWALLACE:
We didn't get
the wires crossed.

He's meeting
with the guy.

He's going to be
in the Oval Office.

He was always
going to do that.

It wasn't canceled?
No way.

Fitz...
The White House
cancels a meeting

at the last minute,
he's going to have

somebody tasting his
food for a month.

I don't want
him thinking.

I don't want the President...

All right.

I was going to say

I don't want him
putting a voice to the guy.

I take my daughter
to a seafood place

the first thing she does is name
all the lobsters in the tank

so I can't eat them.

Hello.

Morning, sir.

( mumbled greetings )

( sighs )

Mr. President,
we wanted to lay out

some of the rules.

There are rules
for these things?

Uh, yes, sir

the, uh, first being the
National Security Act

which says basically

that only the President can
trigger a covert action.

This isn't
a situation

where you need to know
as little as possible.

The law requires that
you know everything.

Doesn't the law also require
that I not assassinate someone?

Yes. Political
assassination is banned

by Executive Order.

Two Executive orders,
as a matter of fact.

I know.
One of them was mine.

The E.O. is law

but it was made up
by the Executive

and the Executive

can ignore it.

Assume for a second I say yes.

How do we do it?

Fitz walks up to him
with a gun?

No, it can't
be military.

Why?

The Posse
Comitatus Act

of 1878 prohibits
the military

from civilian
law enforcement

and it can't happen
on American soil.

The things we choose
to care about.

Mr. President

I should mention
that if you give the order

the law insists that you inform
what we call the gang of eight.

That's the leadership
on both parties

in both houses,
and the chairpeople

and ranking members of the two
intelligence committees.

If it can't happen here

then why'd we care that
Shareef was delivering himself?

He's flying back tonight
in his Gulfstream.

The pilot will be
one of our people.

They'll experience
a mechanical failure

about 90 minutes

into the flight and set down

in a remote R.A.F. airstrip
in Bermuda.

It's really not much
more than a road
in the grass.

The British say yes?

Yes, sir.

How many over there
know about this?

Three.

And some people in Bermuda?

Yes, sir.

This is as big as
the club gets, all right?

Okay.

Well, surely this is

the most absurd meeting
I've ever sat in

and, friends,
that is saying something.

Sir? Will you be
exchanging gifts
with Shareef

when you meet
this afternoon?

Yeah, I imagine.

We'd like you
to give him this.
Hmm.

What does the pen do?

It squirts poison?

It's got a small
recording device in there.

He'll probably
throw it in the trash

but you never know,
you might get lucky--

he sticks it in
his breast pocket

for the flight home.

Sir?

We give him it boxed.

Tell them to put it
in a box.

AMY:
Can I get an egg-
white omelette

and some toast
that's badly burnt?

Just coffee, thanks.

That doesn't give you cancer?

Burnt toast?
Yeah.

They're not sure.

That's why I have
the egg-white omelette.

Welfare is a core issue

with swing
and independent voters.

They use it
as a barometer

to measure a president's values
on work and responsibility.

Yeah.
We're going
to win the vote.

We'll see.
We will...

but we're going to.

I have a nine-vote margin.

I think you're
going to lose

Burnet, Bristol and Keith.

They're on that fence.

Yeah.
You understand
we have to authorize welfare

one way or another.

You got to do it
every six years.

Have I done something to
make you think I'm dumb?

Amy...
Doesn't the fact
that they have

to reauthorize it mean
you've got Republicans...?

We got an extra billion
in child care.

Which is great

but the marriage
incentives are terrible.

We don't like the marriage
incentives either.

Don't be ridiculous,
but independent voters...

Please say "white men"

instead of
"independent voters"

and if you're serious
about making welfare
a second chance

and not a way of life,
then you have to give
people job training.

Call off the hunt,
and I'll see to it

that you guys can make up
with the White House.

Why?
'Cause we're going
to win.

( doorbell ringing )

( knocking )

Yes?
Mrs. DiLaguardia?

Yes.
It's Charlie.

I think there's trouble
with your phone line.

We kept getting
disconnected.
No...

I hope you don't mind,
I just drove on out.

No... yes, I...

We weren't getting
disconnected.

I was hanging up.

Why?
I wasn't interested
in the job.

Why didn't you
just say so?

You would have
asked me why.

Yeah.

My way was faster.

Why aren't you interested...?

( knocks lightly )

So, you have my address.

What other corners
of my personal life

have you rooted out?

You worked
at the White House.

We know where you live.

I bet you do.
May I come inside
for one minute?

You're not allowed
to park there.

Yes, I am.

All right.

Mrs. DiLaguardia...

I'm not married
to Mr. DiLaguardia anymore.

My name is Debbie Fiderer.

Fidler?

Fiderer.

Ms. Fiderer,
you've worked

as Executive Assistant
to Terrance Hunt

Managing Editor
of Gannet News

Jack Kent Cooke

former owner of the
Washington Redskins

Jordan Williams

founding partner at
Cutler, Williams, Rossi

and the White House Office
of Presidential Personnel

and I'd like you
to come meet with
the President today

to discuss filling
Delores Landingham's job.

No.
Why?

Oh, this is so much worse

than the phone call
would have been.

Why?
Because I don't work
for anyone, Charlie.

I'm my own boss.

I set my sail and then go
that particular direction.

You do?
Yes.

How's the sailing been?

I beg your pardon?

How's business?

I'll admit I got off
to a rocky start.

What'd you try?

Gambling.

Didn't work out?

No, but all that's changed.

'Cause now you're...?

I'm an alpaca farmer.

Are you serious?

It's the world's finest

livestock investment,
Charlie.

You're talking about

those sheep they show
on late-night TV?

Well, they're alpacas,
and if you knew that

you'd know that the textiles
made from their fiber

are coveted
by the best fashion houses.

You swallowed a brochure?

I have two
of the Huacaya variety.

You were Executive to the
head of the U.S. Olympic
Organizing Committee

were you not?

Yes.

I'm sending a car
for you in 90 minutes.

I was fired

from the White House, Charlie.

I know you were.

( door closes )

SIMON:
You know what you should do?

You should bring your mom
a souvenir from the White House.

Every day,
you should show your mom

some expression of love.

A smile.

"You look pretty
today, Mom."

A good smack on the
ass they always like.

( chuckles )

You know why you
should give your mom

an expression of
love every day?

'Cause she raised me?

Well, okay. Uh, I was
going to say it just
makes things easier.

So, you're going
to be careful

in New York, right?

I'm only going
for a few hours.

No, I mean,
when the crazy guy shows up.

You don't think
I can handle myself?

Well...
What?

You got skills.
I don't deny that.

You can shoot,
and you're athletic.

But...?

You're slow-witted.

Let the beatings begin.

( laughing )

You're not very bright

and the criminals
can sense this about you.

Get over here.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I thought you
weren't on till
this afternoon.

I'm not.

I arranged this
for my friend Anthony, here.

Anthony, this
is Ms. Cregg.
Hi.

Hey.
You think it's possible
for Anthony to get

a souvenir
he could give his mom?

Sure it is. Carol?

That's really
sweet, Anthony

doing something
nice for your mom.

You should be like that.

Yes.

Can you set this gentleman up
with a key chain, please?

Yep.
It'll have the
Seal of the President

on it, and President
Bartlet's signature

and you can tell your mom

that you can't buy this
in a souvenir shop.

In fact, you can't
buy it anywhere

'cause it's against
the law to sell

the Seal of the President--
you can only get it here.

Yeah, but if
the cops stop me

aren't they going to think
I stole it?

If the cops stop you,
they're going to think

you're an important person.

Stop you for what?

Whatever.

Wait outside a second,
will you?

Yeah.

Nice meeting you.

Is he your nephew?

No. I'm a Big Brother.

We've been together
about three years.

Are you good at it?

I don't know.

He says he wants to be

a Big Brother
when he gets older

so, you know,
I guess...

Listen, I was thinking
there's really no reason

for you to make
the trip to New York.

Yeah?
I'm going
to be traveling

with the President
the whole time.

Can I say something?
Sure.

I'm not allowed
to date a protectee.

Who's trying to date you?

I'm not allowed
to kiss a protectee.

Who's trying to kiss you?

You did.

No, I didn't.

C.J., I'm trusted
with a serious job.

Aren't you not allowed
to call a protectee
by their first name?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm going to take
Anthony home.

There's really no reason

for you to come
to New York.

See you on the plane.

PRESIDENT:
It's The Wars of the Roses--

all the Henrys

and Richards, too,
for that matter.

In some kind
of condensed form?

Yeah.

'Cause you'd be there
for weeks, right, if...?

Yeah.

There's also singing.

Oh, it's a musical.

No, but they're
going to sing

from time to time

and one of the songs is
a song I love.

I can't think of the name now,
but it's an Edwardian...

It always reminds me...
it makes me think of college.

Like, I don't know

like, they should be singing it

in the dining hall
at Christ College at Cambridge.

The chorus is,
"And victorious in war

shall be made glorious
in peace."

I was just singing it

this morning.

How have you been sleeping?

Good. Yeah.

Let me ask you something.

Is there a crime

which, if it wasn't illegal,
you would do?

I'd park anywhere I want.

Right, but you wouldn't

rob a bank?

No.

Connecticut had a law

prohibiting the use
of contraceptives--

it was written out of rage
against adultery--

but in the age of AIDS,
don't Connecticut residents

do more for the general welfare
by flagrantly breaking the law?

There was a law against
contraceptives?

Yeah.

Can I ask, sir

how somebody used
to get caught?

Stanley...

What's on your mind,
Mr. President?

I can't tell you.

Yeah, but you can.

No, I really can't.

It's high security

to say nothing of...

( sighs heavily )

To say nothing
of what?

If I tell you I intend
to commit a crime

you're required by law
to report it.

I have a pretty strange meeting
coming up.

I'm going to go.

Good seeing you.

If you go ahead
without the governors

you're asking
for trouble.

You co-sponsored the bill.

Yeah, I'm saying,
if you increase
the work hours

for example,
what do the
governors do

if they're aren't
enough jobs?

I don't even
understand that.

I don't think the
Congressman's here

as a co-sponsor
of the bill, Sam.

I think he's here
as the leader

of Florida's Republican
delegation.

The President
should meet

with Ritchie
tonight.

That's not going to happen.
They should walk

in the door
Walk in the door together?.

It's a Catholic fundraiser, Ted.

It's not a network debate.

They should walk
in the door together.

They should go in a room
and talk

and then they should
watch the play.

And there are five congressmen
who would be interested

in the outcome
of that meeting.

We get the votes...

if the President meets
with Ritchie.

Yes.

Ted, the President enters
the room

with his wife
and the President of China.

He doesn't do it
with the Governor of Florida.

MAN:
Can I ask why you guys are

taking in a Broadway show
during a vote like this?

That was
a scheduling error.

It was.

Nonetheless...

I've got a primary.

I know.
I'm spending money already.

We can help you
raise money.

So can Amy Gardner.

Look, there's a billion more
for child care.

This isn't a bad bill.

We're fixing ten things...

How are the women...?
...that were wrong
with welfare.

Transportation subsidies...

How are the women
supposed to train for
life after welfare

when they are required
to work 38 hours a week?

Forget the work
requirements.

It's the marriage
incentives.

I can't run
without women.

All right.

These are three "no" votes,
right?

Yeah.

Okay.

The President's going
to call you.

Do you know when?

No. Sometime during
the first intermission.

I don't know.

( speaking in Arabic )

TRANSLATOR:
And that the friendship

established long ago

between the United States
and the nation of Qumar

is based on frankness
and serves the interest

of both the American
and Qumari people.

Who are these men?

( speaking in Arabic )

Bodyguards.

Okay.

( speaking in Arabic )

And I would personally like
to congratulate you

Mr. President,
on the renewal

of your ten-year lease
on the air base in Tiaret.

Yeah, I'm feeling
particularly proud
of that today.

( speaking in Arabic )

We're happy
you visited us

Mr. Defense Minister.

You're welcome
here any time,
and please

send the
best regards

of the President of
the United States

to the Royal
Sultan.

( speaking in Arabic )

Not in the Oval Office.

Sir?

Tell him I have
a rash on my hand.

Make sure you apologize.

( speaks in Arabic )

Yeah.

Thanks.

Yes, sir.

It's a hand-carved
incense burner--

gypsum and sandalwood.

( rubber ball bouncing
on window )

What's up?

A.P. called with a quote
from Kevin Kahn.

"Governor Ritchie looks forward

"to meeting with the President
tonight so he can talk

"about the Federal Government's
plan for the Everglades

which would tax sugar farmers
into unemployment."

It wouldn't.

Yeah, but now-now
he's got another

"What's Bartlet hiding
from us today?" spot.

What about this?

Call A.P. and tell them that
Governor Ritchie is mistaken

and that he is not
on the President's schedule,
and go further.

Say the President would love
to meet with Ritchie

but he's going
to be busy tonight

passing a vote...

...That's being hung up

by the Florida
delegation. Josh?
Yep.

In response to
a tactical leak

from Kevin Kahn, I'm
going to let A.P. know

that Florida's messing
with the welfare vote.

You all right with that?

Yeah.
I'm asking 'cause
if we lose the vote

then we've just said that he's
the one who's brought us down.

Yeah.
You're all right
with this?

Yeah.

Oh, hello.
Good.

I was worried
you were going
to be late.

No.
You want some water
or something?

No. No, thanks.

Have you met
him before?

We shook hands for a second
before a group picture.

You'll be fine.
Yeah.

You seem a little better
than you were before.

I took a pill.

Why?
Because I was a little
nervous

about coming back
to the White House.

You took a pill?

I took a couple.

( footsteps approaching )

She can go in now.

Thank you.

Okay.

CHARLIE:
Mr. President, this
is Deborah Fiderer.

I'll be right outside.

It's Fiderer?

Fideler.

Fiderer.

It's Fiderer.

I saw your resume.

So, we don't need
to talk about that.

What have you been
doing recently?

I'm an alpaca farmer.

Like the sweaters?

Before they're sweaters.

Uh-huh. And before that?

Craps and blackjack.

You were a professional gambler.

I like the way
that sounds.

Whereabouts?

Bally's... mostly.

Okay.

Why did you leave
the White House?

Well, Mr. President,
if you want to talk

about getting screwed
with your pants on...

Charlie!
I guess, I...

I got pretty-pretty well
doinked.

Yes, sir.

Can I have a minute?
Yes, sir.

Would you mind
waiting outside
just a moment?

No. Not at all.

Is this a joke?

If it's a joke

it's both funny
and well-executed

but I think you
and I both know
that it's not.

I sent you out to replace
Delores Landingham

and that's what
you came home with?

Was she...?

She's an alpaca farmer

who needed two tries
to get her own name.

Well, sir, maybe...

Don't worry
about it.

I'm going to get
the Personnel Office on it.

I got go change for New York.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Okay.

Okay, that was my fault.

I didn't properly prepare you
for the meeting.

That was bad staff work.

Before your next job interview
with the President

I'm going to remind you

that you probably don't
want to be stoned.

There's going
to be a second interview?

There's going to be
as many as it takes.

We're going to
get this right.

Well, let me back
you up a second.

Have we done the
first one yet?

I'm calling a cab now.

Okay.

Whatever happened to
the Swingle Singers?

I don't know.

LEO:
Good afternoon.

After being presented
with overwhelming evidence

provided by foreign and domestic
intelligence agencies

the President has requested

the intelligence finding
you have in your
hands right now.

That finding has
been prepared

and signed off by the
Directors of the NSA

and Central Intelligence.

It was subsequently
submitted for
review and approval

by the National
Security Advisor

the Secretaries
of State and Defense

the Attorney
General, White
House Counsel

and finally, myself

and I submit it to
you for notification.

How are you getting
around 1-1-9-0-5?

The President's rescinding
his own Executive Order.

He's on U.S.
soil right now.

Why can't the
FBI act on this?

The FBI's role is investigatory.

They're not allowed to engage
in a police action.

And the military?

Posse Comitatus.

You're killing Shareef?

I don't know.

What does that mean?

Leo...

when does the President
give the green light?

At the last possible minute.

Consider yourselves notified.

Thank you.

I have theater tickets.

BUTTERFIELD:
The secure exits
are indicated in red.

The site agents are
standing post.

Yes, sir.

And the U.D.?

Yeah.

They can bring
the dogs in.

Thank you.

Simon?

Yes, sir.

We've got a lead.

I think I'm going to have news
for you in a few minutes.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Thank you.

C.J.:
How you guys doing?

( laughing )

I asked you to wait
with an agent.

I wanted to get
some air.

And that's fine, but I asked you
to wait with an agent.

Simon...

You can say to the agent,
"I'd like to go outside

and get some air,"
and he'll go with you.

I'm standing
in the middle

of the President's
security detail--

what do you think's
going to happen to me?

I don't know what's
going to happen to you.

If I did,
this would be easy!

Maybe if
we didn't shout so much.

I have spent my adult
life protecting people.

You're the first person
who's got me

seriously thinking
about switching sides.

Oh, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

I think I've been a treat.

Oh, yes, you have.
A little Easter treat.

Just for me.
You seem
a little riled.

From the first day,
you've acted like
this is all my fault

when that's a pretty
tough case to make.

I don't think
any of it's your fault

and I appreciate
everything you've done.

I got to say,
there are times

when it seems
like you like me.

I do like you.

Then you just walk off
to stick it to me

and forget the
personalities--
it's just stupid!

I said, I do like you.
I meant the other way!

So did I.
I tried to kiss you.

You said you didn't!

I was lying, you idiot.

All right.
I'm switching sides now.

I was embarrassed.
I fumbled it.

You didn't. I told you,
I'm not allowed.

It sounded like an excuse.

It's not. Somebody is
threatening to kill you.

I can't be...

I watched you for three seconds
trying on dresses in Barney's

and the guy shows up...

You watched me
at Barney's?

You're like the girl
in Drivers Ed. who won't watch

the prom night movie
because it's gross

and so ends up missing
an important lesson

about drinking
and driving.

What in God's name
are you talking about?

( phone ringing )

Simon Donovan.

You're saying that I need

to take my protection
more seriously?

'Cause, Simon, this
is happening to me.

I think I take
the situation
plenty seriously

but I have to live
my life, so maybe...

I have a phone to my ear.

What does
that mean to you?

I shouldn't be talking.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

They've got him.

What do you mean?

We have him in custody.
It's him.

10-50, it's Donovan.

They got my guy.

( crowd applauds )

They have him?

They stopped his train
in Trenton.

Where was he going?

Here.

He wasn't going to do
anything to you.

This is over.

There's paperwork.

I meant for me.

Yeah.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Seriously.

( kisses )

Thanks.

So I'm free.

You can drive your car,
walk in a crowd

eat a grapefruit,
do what you want.

How about a drink?

Sure, you can drink.

Can you meet me
after the play?
Yes.

Good.

Where?
Anywhere you want.

How about right here?

I have to go to work.

( crowd applauds and cheers )

Pleasure.
Thank you very much.

MAN:
Hung be the heavens with black

yield day to night.

( trumpets play)
(audience applauds )

Comets

importing changes
of times and states

brandish your crystal
tresses in the sky

and with them scourge
the bad revolting stars

that have consented
unto Henry's death.

King Henry the Fifth,
too famous to live long.

Virtue he had,
deserving to command.

He ne'er lift up his
hand but conquered.

He went to the Yankee game.

Ritchie?
Yes.

He's at the Yankee
game right now?

Local news covered it.

He said this was how
ordinary Americans
got their entertainment.

I've been to 441 baseball
games at Yankee Stadium.

There's not a single person
there who's ordinary.

I know.

You making fun
of the Yankees?

No.

Now?

I'm not.

They went
to the Yankee game.

He's coming
at intermission.

Well, I'm not sure
that suits me.

I know what you mean.

Making an entrance
after the President.

That's just not how
we play bridge.

It's not how
we say cricket.

Okay, but you're
starting to freak
me out a little bit.

Just talk to me
a minute.

How many people are
at the game?

It's a good game,
about 40,000 probably.

There was an incumbent
president who was facing
a primary challenge

and on the day
of the primary

his staff sent
his motorcade

into a district that
was heavily favored
by his opponent

in order to tie up traffic.

Now I would like to make it
plain that I would never

do anything to tamper
with an election, but...

I am so...
proud of you.

You're really very much
freaking me out.

It's Toby on One.

Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I'm going to send
the motorcade

up the Major Deegan.

Is that okay with you?

Why?

Josh has a good point;
we should think of a reason.

Why don't you guys
get back to me?

How's it going?

They'll start voting
in about half an hour.

You bringing in Brenda?

Yeah.

I didn't hear you.

Yeah, I'm bringing in Brenda.

We're going to make her chairman
of the Platform Committee.

Hey, did I put too much pressure
on you with the vote?

No.

With the Ritchie meeting
and the A.P. quote?

No.

And I understand the President
jumped up and down on you

pretty hard last week.

It's over, Toby. We won.

Amy's incredibly employable,
Josh.

( chuckles )

All right.

All right.

You did all right, okay?

I bought her boss.

Yeah, that's how
you had to win this one.

You think her job's
really in jeopardy?

No, she'll lose it for sure.

Anyway, good job.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You're not going to stick around
for the vote?

We won by eight.

Governor Ritchie's stuck
in traffic

and won't get here till
the middle of the second act.

He should've taken the
Cross Bronx to the West Side.

MAN:
Sam?

I don't know...

but I want to tell
you some good facts.

$1.8 million raised
for Catholic Charities tonight

thanks to the people
who made it.

While we're talking

the House is passing

the President's
welfare reform bill

and he appreciates
all the governors

who worked the vote.

And the Yankees are
about to snap

a 12-game winning streak--
thanks a lot.

What Toby means to say is

that if 90% of success
is showing up

we're just happy there's
someone standing up
for the other ten.

I love the theater.

I know what you mean.

What's going on?

Nothing, sir.

I'll be arranging
a second meeting
with Deborah Fiderer

when we get
back to town.

From this afternoon?
Yes, sir.

Are you pledging a fraternity,
or something

'cause this would be
a good one.

Sir?
What is it with you
and this woman?

She hired me.

That's why
she was fired.

You happen to know

if a Milky Way bar
has red meat in it?

Sorry.

Kidding.

I'm going to buy this,
and, uh... and the flower.

No.

No. We don't have that.

No, I mean
I'm going to buy this.

How much is it?

No, it-it's okay.

No. How much is it?

You can go.

It's all right.

Don't move at all.

I'm a Federal officer.

Don't reach.
I'm Secret Service.

You know you'll
never get there.

Put your hands
in the air.

That's it.

I want you to lie down
face first

on the floor.

Let's go.

Keep it up.

You're doing great.

You shouldn't
get down on yourself.

A Secret Service
agent walking in

on the middle of
an armed robbery--

that's just bad luck.

You lie still, okay?

This is Donovan.

I need NYPD at a Korean grocery
at 98th and Broadway.

Sir, I hate to be
a problem customer

but if I don't get
a Milky Way bar pretty soon...

( melancholy music playing )

WOMAN:
...too, too unpardonable.

*

Off with the crown,
and with the crown

his head,

And whilst we breathe,
take time to do him dead.

MAN:
That is my office
for my father's sake.

WOMAN:
Nay, stay--

let's hear the orisons
he makes.

She-wolf of France,
but worse than wolves of France,

Whose tongue more poisons...

* I heard there was
a secret chord *

* That David played,
and it pleased the Lord *

* But you don't really care...

Somebody's
made a mistake.

He was just on his
way to the field office.

No.

* ...Well, it goes like this,
the fourth, the fifth *

* The minor fall
and the major lift *

* It's a baffled king
composing hallelujah *

* Hallelujah, hallelujah...

Excuse me.

* ...Hallelujah, hallelujah

* Well, your faith was strong,
but you needed proof *

* You saw her bathing
on the roof *

* Her beauty in the moonlight
overthrew you *

* She tied you
to her kitchen chair *

* And she broke your throne,
and she cut your hair *

* And from your lips
she drew a hallelujah *

* Hallelujah, hallelujah

* Hallelujah, hallelujah...

( song continues )

JOSH:
W-what did you think
I was going to do?

AMY:
I thought
you were going to do this.

JOSH:
And?

And I didn't think
it was going to work.

Are you fired?

I'm resigning
on Monday.

Do you have to?

I had an entire policy
initiative reversed

in an hour.

Weren't you given a chance
to get the votes you needed

by setting up a meeting
with Ritchie?

I'm not a
dating service.

What is wrong
with you?!

Every serious Democrat is going
to unite behind this President

and I'm not kidding around.

Every serious
Democrat

should be thinking
about leading and not following.

Yeah? How's it going so far?

Matter of fact,
it's going all right,
and I'd do it again.

That's what's scaring the hell
out of me.

Good. It's about time.
( phone ringing )

You can't win
the White House

while the middle class thinks

you disdain work
and responsibility.

I would hope not,
and I congratulate you

for punishing poor women

as a symbol of the strength
of mainstream values.

That's not what we did.

( phone ringing )

Hello?
Do you not
consider it relevant

that it would be worse

with Rob Ritchie
in the White House?!

Why is that not part
of the equation?!

Honey, Simon Donovan
was shot and killed.

* ...And the holy dove
was moving, too *

* And every breath we drew
was hallelujah... *

Civilians get trials.

I'd argue he's
not a civilian.

So would the
Attorney General.

They're going
to find out it's us.

We can make it look
like the plane went down

but they're going
to find out it's us

and I'm going
to be running for reelection

while I'm fighting
a war against Qumar.

That's why you
want to say no?

I want him tried.
That can't happen.

I understand.

I was talking this morning
about how Mallory names

all the lobsters
in the tank.

Yeah.

Would it be helpful
if I brought you

a list of names of
Shareef's victims?

What do you want from me?

Who was the monk who wrote

"I don't always know the
right thing to do, Lord

"but I think the fact
that I want to please you

pleases you"?

You have two minutes, sir.

This isn't a matter
of religion.

Yes, sir.

I recognize

that there's evil
in the world.

What is your objection
exactly, sir?

Doesn't this mean we join
the league of ordinary nations?

That's your objection?

I'm not going to
have any trouble

saying the Pledge of Allegiance
tomorrow.

That's not my objection.

Sir...
It's just wrong.

It's absolutely wrong.

I know,
but you have to do it anyway.

Why?

'Cause you won.

Take him.

( lighter clicking )

Caught me.

Mr. President.

Governor.

You enjoying the play?

I am.

How about you?
We just got here.

We were at the Yankee game.

We got, you know,
hung up in traffic.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, politics aside

and I don't want to make
a big deal out of it

but you probably
insulted the Church

and you can head it off
at the pass

if you speak
to the Cardinal tonight.

Well, I didn't mean
to insult anybody.

No.

And it's a baseball game.

It's how ordinary
Americans, uh...

Yeah.

No, I don't understand that.

The center fielder
for the Yankees

is an accomplished
classical guitarist.

People who like baseball

can't like books?

Are you taking this personally?

No.

Something horrible happened
about an hour ago.

C.J. Cregg was
getting threats.

So, we put an
agent on her.

He's a good guy.

He was on my detail for awhile.

He was in Rosslyn.

He walked into the middle
of an armed robbery

and was shot and killed

after detaining
one of the suspects.

Oh.

Crime.

Boy, I don't know.

( sighing )

We should have
a great debate, Rob.

We owe it to everyone.

When I was running
as a governor

I didn't know anything.

I made them start
Bartlet College
in my dining room.

Two hours
every morning

on foreign affairs
and the military.

You can do that.

How many different ways

you think you're going to find
to call me dumb?

I wasn't, Rob

but you've turned
being un-engaged

into a Zen-like thing

and you shouldn't enjoy
it so much is all

and if it appears at times
as if I don't like you

that's the only reason why.

You're what my friends call
a superior sumbitch.

You're an academic elitist
and a snob.

You're, uh, Hollywood

you're weak,
you're liberal

and you can't
be trusted...

and if it appears

from time to time
as if I don't like you

well, those are just a few
of the many reasons why.

( musical fanfare begins )

They're playing my song.

( applause )

In the future,
if you're wondering--

"Crime. Boy, I don't know"

is when I decided
to kick your ass.

( "The Patriotic Song" playing)

* England arise

* Join in the chorus

* This is a new-made song

* You should be singing

* See in the skies
fluttering before us *

* What the bright bird of peace
is bringing *

* Ah...

CHORUS:
* See upon a smiling land

* Where the wealth
of nations stand *

* Where prosperity and industry
walk ever hand in hand *

* Where so many
blessings crowd *

* 'Tis our duty to be proud

* Up and answer English Yoman

* Sing it joyfully aloud...

* Every garner filled
with grain *

* Every meadow blessed
with rain *

* Rich and fertile is
the golden corn *

* That bears and bears again

* Where so many
blessings crowd *

* 'Tis our duty to be proud

* Up and answer English
Yoman sing it *

* Joyfully aloud...

* Upon our country

* God will pour
His rich increase *

* And victorious in war shall
be made glorious in peace *

* And victorious in war shall be
made glorious in peace *

* Glorious in peace

* Glorious

* In peace

* In peace, in peace.
