1
00:00:05,795 --> 00:00:07,419
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,588 --> 00:00:10,624
Your father used to hit you,
didn't he, Mr. President?
3
00:00:10,799 --> 00:00:14,083
- Your father used to hit you, sir?
- Yeah.
4
00:00:14,301 --> 00:00:16,589
- Not like a spanking?
- He hit me. Why?
5
00:00:16,761 --> 00:00:19,382
- He punched you.
- It was a complicated relationship.
6
00:00:19,555 --> 00:00:23,422
- Because you were smarter than he was.
- You have stepped way over the line.
7
00:00:43,073 --> 00:00:45,065
- Stanley.
- Josh.
8
00:00:45,241 --> 00:00:47,280
- Your flight was all right?
- It was fine.
9
00:00:47,451 --> 00:00:50,486
- How are you?
- Me? I'm fine.
10
00:00:50,787 --> 00:00:52,245
- These are your things?
- Yeah.
11
00:00:52,413 --> 00:00:53,955
I'll put them in my office.
12
00:00:54,122 --> 00:00:56,364
- Should I go with you?
- I'll be right back.
13
00:01:03,087 --> 00:01:05,126
They'll be all right back there.
14
00:01:05,297 --> 00:01:07,171
- Where to?
- Ever seen the White House?
15
00:01:07,549 --> 00:01:10,466
Just the little I saw
when we talked last year.
16
00:01:10,635 --> 00:01:12,093
Follow me.
17
00:01:13,762 --> 00:01:15,588
This is the communications bullpen...
18
00:01:15,763 --> 00:01:17,756
...where Toby Ziegler
and Sam Seaborn work.
19
00:01:17,932 --> 00:01:19,840
The rest of the speechwriting staff...
20
00:01:20,017 --> 00:01:24,476
...works across the alley
in the Old Executive Office Building.
21
00:01:24,812 --> 00:01:26,887
And here comes
the actual Sam Seaborn.
22
00:01:27,063 --> 00:01:28,392
What's going on?
23
00:01:28,565 --> 00:01:31,269
Leo's reading it. We'll send it out
in 10, 15 minutes.
24
00:01:31,442 --> 00:01:32,984
So Toby's been banging around.
25
00:01:33,151 --> 00:01:35,476
- What are you doing?
- Banging around.
26
00:01:35,653 --> 00:01:37,230
This is Dr. Keyworth.
27
00:01:37,404 --> 00:01:39,195
- Sam Seaborn.
- Nice to meet you.
28
00:01:39,364 --> 00:01:41,191
- Did you have a good flight?
- Yes.
29
00:01:41,366 --> 00:01:43,607
- Anybody you know on the plane?
- No.
30
00:01:43,784 --> 00:01:47,401
- Okay. I'll see you.
- Yeah.
31
00:01:48,121 --> 00:01:50,029
That's Leo's office.
32
00:01:50,206 --> 00:01:54,416
It has a private entrance to the
Oval Office, but we'll go in here.
33
00:01:54,584 --> 00:01:56,457
Driver asked me
the same question.
34
00:01:56,627 --> 00:01:58,500
- What?
- Did I know anybody on the plane.
35
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:00,709
He wanted to know
if you talked to anybody.
36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,038
- I didn't.
- I know.
37
00:02:04,299 --> 00:02:06,588
This is the Oval Office.
38
00:02:10,471 --> 00:02:12,048
That's the Resolute Desk.
39
00:02:12,222 --> 00:02:15,555
It was built from timbers of the HMS
Resolute and given to Hayes...
40
00:02:15,725 --> 00:02:20,385
...by Queen Victoria to thank the U.S.
for finding the abandoned ship.
41
00:02:20,728 --> 00:02:24,096
We're gonna go to the residence,
but I'll take you through the Portico.
44
00:02:31,028 --> 00:02:33,732
- You don't think this is interesting?
- It's fascinating...
45
00:02:33,905 --> 00:02:37,439
If somebody sees us, I'd like them
to see me giving you a tour.
46
00:02:47,498 --> 00:02:48,826
Who built the White House?
47
00:02:48,999 --> 00:02:52,248
It was designed by an Irish architect
named James Hoban...
48
00:02:52,418 --> 00:02:56,036
...who won the job
in an open competition.
49
00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:57,872
And it was built largely by slaves.
50
00:02:58,048 --> 00:03:00,205
They found the pay receipts
a few years ago.
51
00:03:00,383 --> 00:03:02,375
The slaves were paid?
52
00:03:02,551 --> 00:03:04,210
Their owners.
53
00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:06,128
Right through here.
54
00:03:06,345 --> 00:03:08,670
Buchanan was visited
by Edward, Prince of Wales.
55
00:03:08,847 --> 00:03:11,172
And he decided there wasn't
room for guests.
56
00:03:11,349 --> 00:03:15,677
But it took another 40 years to move
all the office space out of the residence.
57
00:03:15,852 --> 00:03:17,928
You're really seeing
something, Stanley.
58
00:03:18,104 --> 00:03:20,476
Tours don't go to the
second floor of the mansion.
59
00:03:20,648 --> 00:03:22,106
- You're sure it's okay?
- Yeah.
60
00:03:22,315 --> 00:03:26,442
We're gonna go in here now.
This is the president's private study.
61
00:03:26,610 --> 00:03:28,935
- His private study?
- Yeah.
62
00:03:31,072 --> 00:03:33,942
Okay. Should we close the door?
63
00:03:34,366 --> 00:03:35,943
No, that's all right.
64
00:03:36,493 --> 00:03:38,650
So tell me how you've been feeling.
65
00:03:39,411 --> 00:03:41,154
Good.
66
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:45,034
- Stanley.
- Hey, Leo.
67
00:03:45,207 --> 00:03:48,540
- You getting a tour of the place?
- Yeah.
68
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:50,204
You show him the North Portico?
69
00:03:50,378 --> 00:03:52,536
Leo likes to show people
the soot stains.
70
00:03:52,713 --> 00:03:54,622
From when the British
torched the place.
71
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,962
- They haven't repainted?
- Not that.
72
00:03:57,133 --> 00:04:00,583
When Dolley Madison heard the cannon
fire, she evacuated the building...
73
00:04:00,761 --> 00:04:03,714
...but she already had the table set
for a 40-person dinner.
74
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:07,179
So the British soldiers ate
and then set the building on fire.
75
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:11,138
- So the food didn't go to waste.
- That's right.
76
00:04:14,271 --> 00:04:17,473
- How was your flight?
- It was fine.
77
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:20,358
Did you know anyone on the plane?
78
00:04:22,318 --> 00:04:25,567
You didn't bring me here
to talk to Josh, did you?
79
00:04:25,779 --> 00:04:29,278
- No.
- Who did you bring me here to talk to?
80
00:04:29,448 --> 00:04:31,690
Dr. Keyworth...
81
00:04:32,409 --> 00:04:35,078
...did you know anyone on the plane?
82
00:05:23,822 --> 00:05:26,822
No. No, sir, I didn't know
anyone on the plane.
83
00:05:29,535 --> 00:05:31,859
We'll leave you alone.
84
00:05:32,412 --> 00:05:35,744
- The speech is going out?
- In a few minutes.
85
00:05:45,004 --> 00:05:48,005
- I'm Jed Bartlet.
- Stanley Keyworth.
86
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:50,752
- I guess we knew that.
- Yes, sir.
87
00:05:50,925 --> 00:05:53,332
- I've been having trouble sleeping.
- I'm sorry?
88
00:05:53,511 --> 00:05:56,262
You understand that this
is an election year, right?
89
00:05:56,430 --> 00:05:58,338
I mean, by itself, who cares?
90
00:05:58,514 --> 00:06:00,886
President has trouble sleeping,
talks to a doctor.
91
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:04,100
But with the MS and the hearings,
and you're a psychiatrist... .
92
00:06:04,269 --> 00:06:07,886
- Yeah.
- Okay.
93
00:06:09,481 --> 00:06:12,398
- I'm not an expert in sleep disorders.
- Yeah.
94
00:06:12,608 --> 00:06:14,896
- I'm a trauma specialist.
- Yeah, we know you.
95
00:06:15,068 --> 00:06:16,776
You helped Josh out last year.
96
00:06:18,154 --> 00:06:19,529
Josh was shot.
97
00:06:19,905 --> 00:06:21,233
Me too.
98
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:24,199
- Is that why you can't sleep?
- How would I know?
99
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:27,488
- That's a fair point.
- Thank you.
100
00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:31,863
Well, Mr. President...
101
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:37,449
...tell me the nature
of your sleeping problem.
102
00:06:37,668 --> 00:06:40,372
- I can't sleep.
- What happens when you try to sleep?
103
00:06:40,671 --> 00:06:43,208
- I stay awake.
- How long has it been?
104
00:06:43,381 --> 00:06:44,923
Four nights.
105
00:06:45,091 --> 00:06:47,462
- You haven't slept in four nights?
- Right.
106
00:06:47,634 --> 00:06:49,425
- It must be hard.
- Yeah.
107
00:06:49,636 --> 00:06:52,589
- Have you tried taking a sleeping pill?
- The third night.
108
00:06:52,763 --> 00:06:54,921
- It didn't work?
- Not till the next morning...
109
00:06:55,098 --> 00:06:57,849
...in the middle
of a national security briefing.
110
00:06:58,017 --> 00:07:00,092
Well, that's no good.
111
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:02,598
Stanley, I think you're
underselling yourself...
112
00:07:02,770 --> 00:07:05,557
...when you say you're not
an expert in sleep disorders...
113
00:07:05,731 --> 00:07:09,430
...because you've been right
straight on the money so far.
114
00:07:09,984 --> 00:07:12,984
- How many of those you smoke a day?
- Not many.
115
00:07:13,153 --> 00:07:15,110
Nicotine will keep you up at night.
116
00:07:15,321 --> 00:07:17,812
- Never has before.
- It could be now.
117
00:07:18,032 --> 00:07:21,197
You think if I put this out
I'm gonna fall asleep?
118
00:07:21,367 --> 00:07:23,609
- No.
- Then let's move on.
119
00:07:23,828 --> 00:07:25,654
All right.
120
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:29,163
Let's rule out some things.
Physical factors.
121
00:07:29,332 --> 00:07:32,166
- Do you have arthritis?
- No.
122
00:07:32,334 --> 00:07:33,709
- Heartburn?
- No.
123
00:07:33,918 --> 00:07:38,129
Irregular breathing
or periodic muscle contractions?
124
00:07:38,297 --> 00:07:40,205
- No.
- All right.
125
00:07:40,423 --> 00:07:41,882
Lifestyle factors.
126
00:07:42,049 --> 00:07:46,093
I'm sorry. Before we get to lifestyle
factors, I'm just gonna turn this on.
127
00:07:46,303 --> 00:07:50,631
It's a closed-circuit thing.
I'm at the U.N. on Monday.
128
00:07:51,348 --> 00:07:54,514
Leaving Andrews at 8 for the 9:30
address to the General Assembly.
129
00:07:54,684 --> 00:07:57,256
- When do we see copies?
- When we're done writing it.
130
00:07:58,103 --> 00:07:59,894
- When do we see copies?
- Sunday night.
131
00:08:00,063 --> 00:08:03,395
- Has the State Department reviewed it?
- We'll be getting the reviews.
132
00:08:03,565 --> 00:08:05,439
Also House and Senate
Foreign Relations.
133
00:08:05,608 --> 00:08:07,850
- And we see it Sunday night?
- Sunday night.
134
00:08:08,027 --> 00:08:10,102
That's it, everybody. That's a full lid.
135
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,229
Thank you, C.J.
136
00:08:13,906 --> 00:08:15,234
C.J.
137
00:08:15,407 --> 00:08:18,028
- What are you doing here?
- I'm missing a reporter.
138
00:08:18,243 --> 00:08:20,116
- Who?
- Bill Price.
139
00:08:20,328 --> 00:08:22,534
- Isn't Billy in the Congo?
- Yeah.
140
00:08:24,247 --> 00:08:26,323
Come back here.
141
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,829
He files stories to New York
at a predetermined time.
142
00:08:32,003 --> 00:08:33,461
Missed two deadlines in a row.
143
00:08:33,629 --> 00:08:35,171
- Does he miss deadlines?
- No.
144
00:08:35,339 --> 00:08:38,043
- What does State say?
- I'm having trouble finding people.
145
00:08:38,216 --> 00:08:40,338
- The other end?
- I've talked to the embassy.
146
00:08:40,509 --> 00:08:41,884
But this is the Congo.
147
00:08:42,052 --> 00:08:44,377
- What do you think?
- I think he left the capital.
148
00:08:44,554 --> 00:08:46,879
- Without written permission?
- How would he know?
149
00:08:47,056 --> 00:08:50,969
- By reading State background notes.
- Does that sound like Billy?
150
00:08:51,142 --> 00:08:53,051
- No.
- C.J., the first 15 minutes...
151
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:55,344
...are critical
in a war zone abduction.
152
00:08:55,771 --> 00:08:58,475
- If he can be delivered to a higher-up...
- I'll talk to Leo.
153
00:08:58,648 --> 00:09:02,312
I know Billy's been a pain in the ass,
but he's got a wife and two kids.
154
00:09:02,526 --> 00:09:04,233
So if you could forget about...
155
00:09:04,402 --> 00:09:06,193
I don't care that he's been... .
156
00:09:06,362 --> 00:09:10,405
Look, if he's missed two deadlines,
then his 15 minutes was yesterday.
157
00:09:10,865 --> 00:09:13,534
- I know.
- I'd call his wife.
158
00:09:13,701 --> 00:09:15,491
Yeah.
159
00:09:27,586 --> 00:09:31,285
- Toby. The pacing.
- Yeah.
160
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:44,052
Okay, now the standing-still
is bothering me a little bit.
161
00:09:51,395 --> 00:09:55,937
This is the fifth time you're reading it.
Are there words you don't understand?
162
00:09:57,942 --> 00:10:02,567
There wouldn't be, because you can't
rise to a position like yours without... .
163
00:10:03,237 --> 00:10:06,273
Look, this is exactly
what we said we wanted it to be.
164
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:10,486
We said we were tired of reading
about his scattershot foreign policy.
165
00:10:10,659 --> 00:10:12,782
We said,"You wanna
fillet me for this, fine."
166
00:10:12,953 --> 00:10:16,036
- We said,"When we go to the U. N... ."
- I think it's great.
167
00:10:17,289 --> 00:10:19,780
- Yeah?
- I do.
168
00:10:19,958 --> 00:10:22,283
Your wife's gonna have
something to say about it.
169
00:10:22,501 --> 00:10:24,624
My ex-wife.
Why do you call her my wife?
170
00:10:24,837 --> 00:10:26,461
- It bothers you.
- Everything does.
171
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:28,918
- But you pick that?
- Yeah.
172
00:10:32,676 --> 00:10:36,542
Toby, the night of the lowa caucus,
when you got back...
173
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,219
...did you and the president
have a conversation that night?
174
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:42,514
Yeah.
175
00:10:42,683 --> 00:10:44,474
l...
176
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:46,720
When he got back, for a minute.
177
00:10:46,936 --> 00:10:50,221
- What did you talk about?
- Nothing.
178
00:10:50,939 --> 00:10:53,476
- He seemed kind of upset about it.
- It didn't go well.
179
00:10:53,650 --> 00:10:55,523
- What was it?
- It was personal.
180
00:10:55,943 --> 00:10:58,101
- It was personal?
- Yeah.
181
00:10:58,278 --> 00:11:00,519
Well, that always
works well with him.
182
00:11:00,696 --> 00:11:02,570
What has he said about the speech?
183
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:08,699
He thinks it's great.
He hasn't said anything to you?
184
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:11,157
We haven't talked in a little while.
185
00:11:11,329 --> 00:11:14,448
- Toby, what the hell went on in there?
- Don't worry about it.
186
00:11:15,416 --> 00:11:18,416
Okay. I'm gonna read this again.
187
00:11:18,585 --> 00:11:22,368
- Sure. Because it's that sixth time.
- Yeah.
188
00:11:24,923 --> 00:11:26,464
- Did you read it?
- It's great.
189
00:11:26,632 --> 00:11:29,716
Someone's gonna get
an ass-kicking from the missus.
190
00:11:32,011 --> 00:11:34,050
It's what we asked for, you know.
191
00:11:34,221 --> 00:11:36,344
- We're gonna have to get ready for it.
- Yeah.
192
00:11:36,515 --> 00:11:39,680
- Something else has come up, though.
- What?
193
00:11:39,975 --> 00:11:41,553
Leonard Wallace just came to me.
194
00:11:41,727 --> 00:11:44,597
Billy Price is in the Congo,
and he's missed two deadlines.
195
00:11:45,146 --> 00:11:46,521
He hasn't gotten anywhere.
196
00:11:46,689 --> 00:11:50,436
Kinshasa confirmed that a Belgian
TV crew shooting outside Goma...
197
00:11:50,608 --> 00:11:53,277
...saw an American captured
by Mai Mai rebels.
198
00:11:53,444 --> 00:11:56,444
Hasn't State had a travel advisory
out for, like, 10 years?
199
00:11:56,613 --> 00:11:57,941
Twenty-four.
200
00:11:58,239 --> 00:11:59,567
What is he doing there?
201
00:11:59,740 --> 00:12:02,444
Reporting a story no one
is paying attention to.
202
00:12:05,161 --> 00:12:08,031
- Let's talk to the Congolese attaché.
- He's on his way.
203
00:12:08,413 --> 00:12:10,452
Okay.
204
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,537
- He liked it.
- Yeah?
205
00:12:16,711 --> 00:12:19,284
Mostly what I wrote.
Not so much what you wrote.
206
00:12:19,463 --> 00:12:23,875
So how long you think before the old
lady comes by to give you a whupping?
207
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,969
- Her office called already, didn't they?
- You bet, baby.
208
00:12:29,053 --> 00:12:31,342
You probably wanna rethink
calling me"baby."
209
00:12:31,514 --> 00:12:34,882
Yeah. Whoa, Nelly.
210
00:12:35,058 --> 00:12:36,386
Hello.
211
00:12:36,893 --> 00:12:38,885
You could make a good dog
break his leash.
212
00:12:39,103 --> 00:12:40,431
I was at a social function.
213
00:12:40,604 --> 00:12:43,520
Americans for the Preservation
of Family Values and White People?
214
00:12:43,731 --> 00:12:45,723
- The Federalist Society.
- A hootenanny.
215
00:12:45,899 --> 00:12:48,390
- I was paged. I was told to come in.
- Yes.
216
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:51,817
Thirty-two fifty is a consolidated
appropriations act...
217
00:12:51,987 --> 00:12:54,560
...that we wanna drop
in the U.N. speech for Monday.
218
00:12:54,739 --> 00:12:57,027
I need you to review
the legislative language...
219
00:12:57,199 --> 00:12:59,441
...so we can shop it around the Hill.
220
00:12:59,618 --> 00:13:01,409
- What does it call for?
- I don't know.
221
00:13:01,578 --> 00:13:04,531
- Sam.
- It authorizes payment of 926 million...
222
00:13:04,705 --> 00:13:07,990
...in U.N. dues in exchange
for a reduction in U.N. bureaucracy...
223
00:13:08,207 --> 00:13:10,200
...as well as peacekeeping
assessments.
224
00:13:10,376 --> 00:13:13,708
- What are we concerned about?
- The language is drafted by Republicans.
225
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,245
- We're inscrutable.
- Look for legal land mines.
226
00:13:16,464 --> 00:13:18,123
- Like what?
- A ban on German food...
227
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:20,504
...or amendment saying
the French are annoying.
228
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:22,839
How about we drop out
of the U.N. entirely...
229
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:26,710
...and use the 926 million to take
everybody in the country out to brunch?
230
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:30,214
- Write that suggestion in the margin.
- I'll be in my office.
231
00:13:31,183 --> 00:13:33,969
I didn't even see that thing
from the back.
232
00:13:35,394 --> 00:13:39,177
Well, that takes care
of lifestyle factors.
233
00:13:39,356 --> 00:13:42,640
What about environmental factors?
234
00:13:42,816 --> 00:13:45,223
- Like what?
- Too much light in the room.
235
00:13:45,402 --> 00:13:46,730
No.
236
00:13:46,903 --> 00:13:49,025
- Extremes in room temperature.
- No.
237
00:13:49,238 --> 00:13:51,230
- Noise.
- Noise?
238
00:13:51,406 --> 00:13:53,529
Planes flying overhead,
that kind of thing.
239
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:56,783
Planes aren't allowed
to fly over the White House.
240
00:13:57,828 --> 00:14:00,400
- You haven't slept in four nights.
- Right.
241
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:04,623
- How much sleep do you usually get?
- Four or five hours.
242
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:09,034
Well, we've been through
physical factors...
243
00:14:09,253 --> 00:14:13,201
...lifestyle factors
and environmental factors.
244
00:14:13,548 --> 00:14:17,758
- That leaves us with...
- Psychological factors.
245
00:14:19,135 --> 00:14:21,127
Yes, sir.
246
00:14:21,845 --> 00:14:23,469
What were the odds?
247
00:14:23,638 --> 00:14:25,429
Right.
248
00:14:28,383 --> 00:14:30,838
- So you got a few minutes?
- Just a few minutes.
249
00:14:31,010 --> 00:14:32,338
What's going on?
250
00:14:32,512 --> 00:14:35,631
We're at the U.N. on Monday
giving a new foreign-policy speech...
251
00:14:35,806 --> 00:14:37,513
...that's gonna stir some things up.
252
00:14:37,682 --> 00:14:40,682
But the thing is, it was a relatively
small circle of people...
253
00:14:40,851 --> 00:14:44,468
...who were consulted on the speech,
and that circle got wider tonight.
254
00:14:44,646 --> 00:14:46,768
So it'll be a weekend of bartering.
255
00:14:46,939 --> 00:14:49,512
And Josh is usually one
of the point men on that so...
256
00:14:49,733 --> 00:14:52,567
- You need to get back to the office.
- I have a few minutes.
257
00:14:52,735 --> 00:14:54,644
- How have you been?
- Great.
258
00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:57,986
- You guys survived?
- Dot-coms didn't run out of steam.
259
00:14:58,197 --> 00:14:59,739
- They didn't?
- It's just hype.
260
00:14:59,907 --> 00:15:01,401
- I see.
- Do you?
261
00:15:01,616 --> 00:15:03,359
No.
262
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,361
- It's easier to start up now.
- Why?
263
00:15:05,536 --> 00:15:07,824
There's less pressure
to be a success overnight.
264
00:15:07,996 --> 00:15:12,621
Which brings us to this.
265
00:15:13,125 --> 00:15:14,583
"Capitalscoop. Com."
266
00:15:14,751 --> 00:15:19,328
It'll track legislation, profile people
in power, spotlight special interest.
267
00:15:19,630 --> 00:15:21,871
- Gossip.
- Not gossip. Hard substance.
268
00:15:22,090 --> 00:15:25,173
Public policy. That's why we need
all the help we can get.
269
00:15:25,384 --> 00:15:27,874
I doubt I can get Josh involved.
It'd be a conflict.
270
00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:30,673
No, I don't want Josh. I want you.
271
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:32,840
- I'm sorry?
- I want you.
272
00:15:33,056 --> 00:15:35,095
I don't know where I'd find the time...
273
00:15:35,266 --> 00:15:38,884
It's Friday at 11.
I'm basically on a lunch break right now.
274
00:15:39,061 --> 00:15:41,729
You don't understand.
I'm talking about full-time.
275
00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:45,649
Issues director for Capitalscoop. Com.
276
00:15:47,525 --> 00:15:49,482
Well, l...
277
00:15:49,652 --> 00:15:52,937
I'm surprised, and I'm flattered.
278
00:15:53,113 --> 00:15:56,232
But I'm, you know,
not at all qualified.
279
00:15:56,532 --> 00:16:00,030
That's not true.
You've been Josh Lyman's traffic cop.
280
00:16:00,201 --> 00:16:02,407
That's like an M.A.
in power-brokering.
281
00:16:02,578 --> 00:16:05,578
You know the Hill. You know
every corner of the White House.
282
00:16:05,747 --> 00:16:08,997
You know every pressure point
10 miles from the Potomac.
283
00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:12,202
- Is this your operating budget?
- It's your starting salary.
284
00:16:15,087 --> 00:16:17,210
- Ginger?
- She's not here.
285
00:16:17,381 --> 00:16:19,871
- Is Bonnie here?
- They went to get something to eat.
286
00:16:20,091 --> 00:16:21,715
- Have we met?
- No.
287
00:16:21,884 --> 00:16:23,757
- I'm Celia Walton.
- Sam Seaborn.
288
00:16:23,927 --> 00:16:26,881
- You were sent over for the week.
- Yeah.
289
00:16:27,096 --> 00:16:30,595
- We appreciate your helping out.
- I go where I'm told.
290
00:16:30,766 --> 00:16:33,386
- Do you mind if I say something to you?
- No.
291
00:16:33,601 --> 00:16:35,474
The way you talked
to that woman before.
292
00:16:35,644 --> 00:16:37,636
- What woman?
- I don't know her name.
293
00:16:37,813 --> 00:16:39,390
The dog on a leash.
294
00:16:39,772 --> 00:16:42,476
That was Ainsley Hayes.
She's an associate counsel.
295
00:16:42,691 --> 00:16:46,522
Yeah. It was rude. It was inappropriate,
and it was offensive.
296
00:16:46,736 --> 00:16:49,024
- What did I do?
- You demeaned her.
297
00:16:49,238 --> 00:16:53,448
No, we're friends.
It's a completely mature... . You know.
298
00:16:53,616 --> 00:16:55,941
- Also, she started it.
- Whatever.
299
00:16:56,743 --> 00:16:58,367
Well... .
300
00:16:58,536 --> 00:17:00,410
Okay.
301
00:17:03,665 --> 00:17:06,202
I wasn't demeaning her.
I was complimenting her.
302
00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:10,289
A White House counsel, and you're
complimenting her on her sexuality?
303
00:17:10,670 --> 00:17:14,085
- She looked good in the dress, I thought.
- Okay.
304
00:17:17,425 --> 00:17:18,800
- Where is he?
- Congresswoman.
305
00:17:18,968 --> 00:17:20,296
- Where is he, Sam?
- Toby?
306
00:17:20,469 --> 00:17:22,260
- Yes.
- I do not know.
307
00:17:22,471 --> 00:17:24,262
- Liar.
- Here to talk about the speech?
308
00:17:24,472 --> 00:17:27,259
I and the House International
Relations Committee, yes.
309
00:17:27,474 --> 00:17:29,799
Your fingerprints are all over this too.
310
00:17:30,101 --> 00:17:33,304
You and Toby wanna be responsible
for starting World War III?
311
00:17:33,521 --> 00:17:36,272
- Well, you're gonna.
- I was having a good night.
312
00:17:36,481 --> 00:17:38,438
- Where is he?
- I don't know.
313
00:17:38,608 --> 00:17:42,735
- You said that already.
- You asked me again. I still didn't know.
314
00:17:44,153 --> 00:17:46,560
May I wait in his office?
315
00:17:46,739 --> 00:17:49,027
Better his than mine.
316
00:17:50,283 --> 00:17:54,232
- What were we talking about?
- I'm a temporary hand here for a week...
317
00:17:54,411 --> 00:17:56,403
...but I don't think it's a joke.
318
00:17:56,788 --> 00:17:58,994
Ginger and Bonnie
are getting something to eat.
319
00:17:59,165 --> 00:18:00,789
Yeah.
320
00:18:00,957 --> 00:18:03,448
I need these distributed.
321
00:18:06,378 --> 00:18:08,417
Andy's in your office.
322
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:11,292
- You let her in my office?
- Yeah.
323
00:18:11,465 --> 00:18:14,382
What the hell did you
let her in my office for?
324
00:18:14,551 --> 00:18:19,757
Okay. Well, I'm gonna step out for a
minute and not be in this area anymore.
325
00:18:30,438 --> 00:18:32,726
How could you do this
without consulting people?
326
00:18:32,898 --> 00:18:35,684
Come on in.
We consulted plenty of people.
327
00:18:35,858 --> 00:18:37,897
You think Sam and I
create foreign policy?
328
00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:41,318
I don't know.
You, Sam, Abbott, Costello!
329
00:18:41,613 --> 00:18:43,071
We brought in for three weeks.
330
00:18:43,239 --> 00:18:45,195
You bring in anybody
from State? Who?
331
00:18:45,407 --> 00:18:47,529
Secretary of State.
How can you come here?
332
00:18:47,742 --> 00:18:49,651
I'm third on the damn committee.
333
00:18:49,869 --> 00:18:52,537
- It's a presidential address, not a camel.
- A what?
334
00:18:52,746 --> 00:18:55,995
A camel! A horse built by committee.
335
00:18:58,167 --> 00:19:01,120
"Freedom must run deeper
than the free flow of capital.
336
00:19:01,336 --> 00:19:04,501
Freedom must mean more than
the free trade of goods and services.
337
00:19:04,713 --> 00:19:06,041
- The world..."
- I read it.
338
00:19:06,214 --> 00:19:09,713
"The world will be free when we have
freedom of speech for every nation."
339
00:19:09,925 --> 00:19:11,253
In fact, I wrote it.
340
00:19:11,426 --> 00:19:13,134
"...when there is freedom to worship.
341
00:19:13,303 --> 00:19:18,343
The world will be free when we finally
shake off the rusted chains of tyranny...
342
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:22,684
...whether in the guise of fascist
dictatorship or ethnic hostility..."
343
00:19:22,851 --> 00:19:26,017
- A little nervous?
- Wait for it.
344
00:19:26,771 --> 00:19:29,557
"The crushing yoke
of Islamic fanaticism."
345
00:19:30,857 --> 00:19:32,814
Gentlemen, start your engines.
346
00:19:32,984 --> 00:19:35,557
Billy's wife is already here.
She's in my office now.
347
00:19:35,736 --> 00:19:38,570
- Is she very upset?
- She's... .
348
00:19:38,738 --> 00:19:40,398
- Send them in.
- She's with Leonard.
349
00:19:40,990 --> 00:19:42,318
Come in.
350
00:19:43,033 --> 00:19:46,366
Everybody, this is McKennen Loboko,
the Congolese attaché.
351
00:19:46,661 --> 00:19:48,368
- McKonnen.
- I'm sorry.
352
00:19:48,579 --> 00:19:50,535
Mr. Loboko, you know our situation?
353
00:19:50,747 --> 00:19:53,866
We've got a reporter who we believe
was taken by the Mai Mais.
354
00:19:54,083 --> 00:19:56,490
He shouldn't have traveled
without documentation.
355
00:19:56,668 --> 00:19:59,159
The Mai Mais care about
documentation, do they?
356
00:19:59,378 --> 00:20:02,497
- I beg your pardon.
- He wouldn't have been abducted?
357
00:20:02,964 --> 00:20:04,506
We haven't been introduced.
358
00:20:04,716 --> 00:20:06,672
C.J. Cregg,
White House press secretary.
359
00:20:06,842 --> 00:20:09,593
He sat in my room for a year,
his wife's in my office...
360
00:20:09,761 --> 00:20:12,631
...his kids are at home,
and I want him back.
361
00:20:12,805 --> 00:20:14,382
You think I have him in my briefcase?
362
00:20:14,598 --> 00:20:18,049
This is a shakedown, so tell us how
much money and where does it go.
363
00:20:18,267 --> 00:20:21,018
The Congolese government
doesn't negotiate with murderers.
364
00:20:21,228 --> 00:20:23,683
The Congolese government is a myth.
365
00:20:26,023 --> 00:20:28,976
I can't talk to this woman.
366
00:20:29,151 --> 00:20:33,610
Mr. Loboko, how much money
and where does it go?
367
00:20:42,886 --> 00:20:45,008
- Where have you been?
- I told you I was going out.
368
00:20:45,179 --> 00:20:48,428
- For an hour?
- Well, yeah.
369
00:20:48,598 --> 00:20:52,262
There's an editorial on sugar subsidies
in the International Herald Tribune.
370
00:20:52,434 --> 00:20:53,928
Make sure that Leo gets a copy.
371
00:20:54,102 --> 00:20:57,387
Also, make sure you send me home
with a congressional face book.
372
00:20:57,563 --> 00:21:00,136
- Why?
- I'm still mixing up Cooper and Hooper.
373
00:21:00,315 --> 00:21:03,351
- Why?
- Cooper sounds a lot like Hooper.
374
00:21:03,526 --> 00:21:06,016
- What does it matter?
- I got offered a job tonight.
375
00:21:06,612 --> 00:21:08,319
What do you mean?
376
00:21:08,488 --> 00:21:09,863
- You know Casey Reed?
- No.
377
00:21:10,031 --> 00:21:12,521
- We went to college together.
- That's where you were?
378
00:21:12,699 --> 00:21:14,193
- Yeah.
- At a job interview?
379
00:21:14,492 --> 00:21:17,409
It wasn't a job interview.
We were meeting for a drink.
380
00:21:17,578 --> 00:21:20,614
- What's the job?
- He has an Internet start-up.
381
00:21:21,414 --> 00:21:24,284
- What kind of site?
- Commentary.
382
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,456
He asked me to be issues director.
383
00:21:26,668 --> 00:21:27,996
- Issues director?
- Yeah.
384
00:21:28,169 --> 00:21:32,083
- For an Internet start-up.
- Dot-coms aren't dying, just the hype.
385
00:21:32,297 --> 00:21:33,625
- Really?
- Yeah.
386
00:21:33,798 --> 00:21:36,585
Sounds like the hype's
alive and well too.
387
00:21:37,926 --> 00:21:40,049
I suppose.
388
00:21:40,595 --> 00:21:43,002
- You suppose?
- Yeah.
389
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:46,180
You can't take a job that may
not be around a year from now.
390
00:21:46,391 --> 00:21:49,308
This job may not be around
a year from now.
391
00:21:49,477 --> 00:21:51,801
- He offered you money?
- Yeah.
392
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:55,181
- Well, all I can offer you is a title bump.
- Like what?
393
00:21:55,356 --> 00:21:58,938
Senior assistant to the deputy chief
of staff for strategic planning.
394
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:02,192
- That's my title now.
- Then I can't offer you a title bump.
395
00:22:02,361 --> 00:22:05,445
The sugar subsidy editorial
and the face book, okay?
396
00:22:05,614 --> 00:22:07,024
Cooper and Hooper.
397
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:16,454
What do you need?
398
00:22:16,622 --> 00:22:18,946
There's a thing in this
we need to be careful of.
399
00:22:19,124 --> 00:22:20,748
What?
400
00:22:20,917 --> 00:22:23,668
They'll approve a new scale
of peacekeeping assessments...
401
00:22:23,835 --> 00:22:27,962
...if there's a cost-sharing mechanism,
but it isn't fully addressed here.
402
00:22:28,130 --> 00:22:32,791
I should rewrite some of this language
before the president goes to the U.N.
403
00:22:32,967 --> 00:22:35,255
- What?
- Let me ask you something.
404
00:22:35,594 --> 00:22:39,258
When I said that you were enough
to make a good dog break his leash...
405
00:22:39,472 --> 00:22:42,887
...you understand that men,
we're the dog, right?
406
00:22:43,058 --> 00:22:44,516
I was the dog.
407
00:22:44,684 --> 00:22:46,261
- I understood the metaphor.
- Okay.
408
00:22:46,435 --> 00:22:49,436
The peacekeeping assessment
is based on per capita income...
409
00:22:49,646 --> 00:22:52,895
...with category J countries
paying at a 90 percent discount.
410
00:22:53,065 --> 00:22:55,104
- I meant it to make you feel good.
- It did.
411
00:22:55,275 --> 00:22:57,149
- I certainly meant it.
- I appreciate it.
412
00:22:57,319 --> 00:22:59,809
- I didn't mean to demean you.
- I need you to listen.
413
00:23:00,112 --> 00:23:02,899
Category A countries
will be overpaying...
414
00:23:03,073 --> 00:23:05,907
...to cover the discounts
for category J states.
415
00:23:06,075 --> 00:23:10,321
So we need to be more specific about
category A. It's gonna be important.
416
00:23:10,495 --> 00:23:12,653
- I was told that I demeaned you.
- You didn't.
417
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,158
- I was told I did.
- By whom?
418
00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:16,204
- Someone named Celia.
- She was mistaken.
419
00:23:16,374 --> 00:23:17,916
- You sure?
- If I felt demeaned...
420
00:23:18,084 --> 00:23:20,870
...I'd be among the first to know it.
- Terrific.
421
00:23:21,086 --> 00:23:22,912
- Here are my notes.
- I'll rewrite them.
422
00:23:23,088 --> 00:23:26,041
- You'll stick around?
- What else would I do on a Friday night?
423
00:23:26,215 --> 00:23:28,456
I don't like to pry.
424
00:23:30,093 --> 00:23:33,176
America doesn't have a monopoly
on what's right.
425
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:37,045
Even if we did, I think you'll have
a tough time convincing the Arab world.
426
00:23:37,223 --> 00:23:39,464
Well, we'd like to talk to them about it.
427
00:23:39,683 --> 00:23:42,008
- That ought to do the trick.
- It's worth a shot.
428
00:23:42,185 --> 00:23:44,722
The U.S. Constitution
defends religious pluralism.
429
00:23:44,895 --> 00:23:47,018
It doesn't reduce all
of Islam to fanaticism.
430
00:23:47,356 --> 00:23:50,439
Neither does the speech.
It calls fanaticism, fanaticism.
431
00:23:50,608 --> 00:23:54,272
It's fanaticism whether we call it that
or not, so we're gonna call it that.
432
00:23:54,444 --> 00:23:56,816
- We respect all religions, cultures.
- To a point.
433
00:23:57,196 --> 00:23:58,524
Yes, to a point.
434
00:23:58,697 --> 00:24:03,654
Grotesque oppression isn't okay
just because it's been institutionalized.
435
00:24:03,826 --> 00:24:07,408
If you ask me, we should've gotten
into the game three, four decades ago...
436
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:11,528
...but they're coming for us now.
So it's time to saddle up!
437
00:24:12,791 --> 00:24:14,748
- Toby.
- We do know what's right.
438
00:24:14,959 --> 00:24:16,334
This is why they hate us.
439
00:24:16,752 --> 00:24:18,080
There's a lot of reasons.
440
00:24:18,253 --> 00:24:21,538
You know when they're gonna like us?
When we win.
441
00:24:25,217 --> 00:24:28,253
- C.J.
- Please tell me what's happening.
442
00:24:28,428 --> 00:24:30,669
Janet, we're working
some back channels now.
443
00:24:30,888 --> 00:24:33,971
Make yourself comfortable.
We might have some news in an hour.
444
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:35,764
The government will pay money?
445
00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:40,179
We can't buy them off directly. We offer
to withhold money from their enemies.
446
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:42,847
And if that doesn't work?
447
00:24:43,063 --> 00:24:45,768
Your husband is employed
by a billion-dollar corporation.
448
00:24:46,107 --> 00:24:49,191
Janet, Mrs. Carlson
would pay whatever.
449
00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:50,938
- Ransom?
- Yeah.
450
00:24:51,111 --> 00:24:53,732
Let's not get that far right now.
Your clothes are wet.
451
00:24:53,947 --> 00:24:57,030
- Can I get you something to wear?
- No. No, I'm fine.
452
00:24:57,241 --> 00:24:59,032
Okay.
453
00:24:59,617 --> 00:25:02,190
- I should stay here?
- Yeah.
454
00:25:05,872 --> 00:25:09,536
Insomnia is a pretty common
symptom of depression.
455
00:25:09,708 --> 00:25:11,700
- Are you depressed?
- No.
456
00:25:11,876 --> 00:25:13,418
I didn't think so.
457
00:25:13,586 --> 00:25:20,002
Some people are predisposed
to insomnia in times of acute stress.
458
00:25:20,174 --> 00:25:22,843
Are you under any stress?
459
00:25:23,844 --> 00:25:29,466
Is there any stress
in your job at all, or...?
460
00:25:31,349 --> 00:25:35,642
But seriously, folks, has there been
an unusual amount of stress lately?
461
00:25:35,811 --> 00:25:39,060
- Well, Congress was investigating me.
- Yeah.
462
00:25:39,230 --> 00:25:40,558
And I was censured.
463
00:25:40,731 --> 00:25:43,222
- I had to give the State of the Union.
- Yeah.
464
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:46,726
I'm running for re-election.
Things are blowing up everywhere.
465
00:25:46,902 --> 00:25:49,274
And I've chosen
the General Assembly of the U. N...
466
00:25:49,446 --> 00:25:51,438
...to define a tougher foreign policy.
467
00:25:53,491 --> 00:25:56,028
Not unusually stressful, no.
468
00:25:57,827 --> 00:26:01,076
I don't like the word"stress."
It's a Madison Avenue word.
469
00:26:01,288 --> 00:26:05,581
It's something that can be cured
with flavored coffee and bath bubbles.
470
00:26:05,791 --> 00:26:07,499
So you don't feel stress.
471
00:26:07,709 --> 00:26:10,081
I have a job I like,
and my family's healthy.
472
00:26:10,253 --> 00:26:12,541
Doesn't mean you're
not entitled to feel stress.
473
00:26:12,713 --> 00:26:14,124
Stress is for other people.
474
00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:16,877
- What other people?
- I'm saying it's not stress.
475
00:26:17,050 --> 00:26:20,252
I was feeling stress five nights ago too,
and I slept fine.
476
00:26:20,469 --> 00:26:23,422
- So, what happened four nights ago?
- I want my money back.
477
00:26:26,140 --> 00:26:28,630
This is a very unusual conversation.
478
00:26:28,850 --> 00:26:31,257
- I get that a lot.
- I'd imagine.
479
00:26:31,477 --> 00:26:34,477
- So, what do you charge?
- $375 an hour.
480
00:26:35,272 --> 00:26:39,517
For $375 an hour, you ought
to bring your own damn lingerie.
481
00:26:39,817 --> 00:26:41,145
I do.
482
00:26:41,443 --> 00:26:43,601
There's a great story
about Arthur Miller.
483
00:26:43,778 --> 00:26:46,351
Death of a Salesman had
just opened the night before.
484
00:26:46,530 --> 00:26:49,151
He was walking around his
old neighborhood in Brooklyn.
485
00:26:49,324 --> 00:26:52,822
He sees a hot-dog vendor that he went
to high school with, and he says:
486
00:26:52,993 --> 00:26:54,902
"Hey, Jimmy, it's me, Arthur Miller."
487
00:26:55,078 --> 00:26:58,031
The hot-dog vendor says,
"How you doing? What you been up to?"
488
00:26:58,205 --> 00:27:01,122
And Miller says,"I'm...
You know, I'm a playwright."
489
00:27:01,291 --> 00:27:04,623
The hot-dog vendor says,
"Playwriting, I should've gone into that."
490
00:27:05,669 --> 00:27:08,076
$375 an hour.
491
00:27:08,254 --> 00:27:09,629
- Yes, sir.
- For what?
492
00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:12,789
I don't really know.
493
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:18,710
I can't sleep.
494
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:21,013
I can't sleep.
495
00:27:21,222 --> 00:27:24,471
I'll be tired, and I'll lie there.
And it doesn't happen.
496
00:27:26,935 --> 00:27:28,761
What happened four nights ago?
497
00:27:28,936 --> 00:27:31,509
I won the lowa caucus.
498
00:27:31,688 --> 00:27:34,226
- Anything else?
- That's not enough?
499
00:27:34,399 --> 00:27:38,442
Mr. President,
if you were any other patient...
500
00:27:38,610 --> 00:27:41,978
Say what you'd say
to any other patient.
501
00:27:42,154 --> 00:27:45,357
I'd say screw around if you want...
502
00:27:45,532 --> 00:27:49,114
...but it's your money.
It's about to be my money...
503
00:27:49,285 --> 00:27:50,909
...and I sleep fine.
504
00:27:56,665 --> 00:27:58,953
I had a conversation
with one of my aides...
505
00:27:59,125 --> 00:28:01,532
...after we got back from lowa.
506
00:28:01,711 --> 00:28:03,085
He called me on something.
507
00:28:03,837 --> 00:28:05,580
What?
508
00:28:06,047 --> 00:28:08,668
Well, I guess we talked
about a lot of things.
509
00:28:08,841 --> 00:28:11,378
Who we think the Republican
challenger is gonna be...
510
00:28:11,593 --> 00:28:15,542
...and incumbency
and campaign strategy.
511
00:28:15,721 --> 00:28:18,294
Strategic overview,
but the long and short of it is...
512
00:28:18,473 --> 00:28:21,592
...my father never liked me at all.
513
00:28:28,439 --> 00:28:30,727
Well, at least we're closer
to my area now.
514
00:28:32,608 --> 00:28:35,443
Yeah, I thought you'd enjoy that.
515
00:29:04,349 --> 00:29:05,677
- Charlie?
- Yeah.
516
00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:08,174
- Are you in pain?
- No.
517
00:29:08,685 --> 00:29:10,060
- Charlie?
- Yes?
518
00:29:10,228 --> 00:29:12,718
- Have you been playing basketball?
- Yes.
519
00:29:12,897 --> 00:29:14,225
- Did you get beat?
- No.
520
00:29:14,398 --> 00:29:16,805
- Charlie. Who'd you play?
- Doesn't matter.
521
00:29:16,983 --> 00:29:18,311
- Ed?
- No.
522
00:29:18,484 --> 00:29:19,812
- Larry?
- No.
523
00:29:19,985 --> 00:29:21,313
- Jack?
- No.
524
00:29:21,486 --> 00:29:23,063
- Did you get beat by Manny?
- No.
525
00:29:23,238 --> 00:29:25,906
- Who?
- Deanna.
526
00:29:26,073 --> 00:29:28,030
- Your sister?
- Yes.
527
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,607
Your little sister.
528
00:29:30,785 --> 00:29:33,655
- She plays varsity, Sam.
- Girls' varsity.
529
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:36,621
- She played a finesse game.
- Man, you can't walk.
530
00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:39,410
Yeah. I don't know what's
happening to my life.
531
00:29:39,583 --> 00:29:42,334
I can tell you're down,
but let's talk about me.
532
00:29:42,919 --> 00:29:45,835
If your sister was getting ready
for a night out, and I said:
533
00:29:46,004 --> 00:29:48,495
"You're enough to make
a good dog break his leash"...
534
00:29:48,673 --> 00:29:51,163
...would you think I was a cad?
- I'd think hick.
535
00:29:52,259 --> 00:29:54,832
- Because of the sentiment or expression?
- My sister?
536
00:29:55,011 --> 00:29:57,133
- I'd beat you.
- You and how many Girl Scouts?
537
00:29:57,346 --> 00:29:59,671
- If I could stand up...
- If it wasn't your sister.
538
00:29:59,973 --> 00:30:01,467
- Then you're fine.
- I'm fine.
539
00:30:01,641 --> 00:30:03,348
You're not. This isn't quite right.
540
00:30:03,642 --> 00:30:07,141
It needs to be clear that the total
assessment is down to 25 percent...
541
00:30:07,354 --> 00:30:10,022
...for category A.
- We've been in this fight.
542
00:30:10,397 --> 00:30:12,686
- But if we pay before...
- Hang on. Here she is.
543
00:30:12,899 --> 00:30:16,766
Celia, I asked Ainsley,
and she said she didn't mind at all.
544
00:30:16,944 --> 00:30:19,517
- Plus, Charlie said he's fine with it.
- He's a man.
545
00:30:19,738 --> 00:30:21,397
- Damn right.
- Sam.
546
00:30:21,614 --> 00:30:25,148
We won't take a bath when other
countries can afford to take on more.
547
00:30:25,367 --> 00:30:26,695
This is important.
548
00:30:26,868 --> 00:30:29,821
- It's important that I'm not a sexist.
- And that I'm all man.
549
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:31,863
You're Celia? He's not a sexist.
550
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:34,868
If you're willing to let sexuality
diminish your power.
551
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,790
- I'm sorry?
- I'm surprised...
552
00:30:36,959 --> 00:30:40,208
...you'd let it diminish your power.
- I don't know what that means.
553
00:30:40,378 --> 00:30:43,331
- I think you do.
- You think I'm made out of candy glass.
554
00:30:43,505 --> 00:30:47,419
If somebody offends you, tell them.
But all women don't have to think alike.
555
00:30:47,633 --> 00:30:51,132
I didn't say they did. And when
someone offended me, I did say so.
556
00:30:51,303 --> 00:30:55,762
I like it when the guys tease me.
It's a show of respect I'm on the team.
557
00:30:55,973 --> 00:30:59,175
I don't mind it when it gets sexual.
And you know what? I like sex.
558
00:30:59,642 --> 00:31:03,176
I don't think whatever sexuality
I may have diminishes my power.
559
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,848
I think it enhances it.
560
00:31:05,021 --> 00:31:07,938
- What kind of feminism do you call that?
- My kind.
561
00:31:08,107 --> 00:31:09,731
It's called lipstick feminism.
562
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:12,224
- I call it stiletto feminism.
- Stilettos?
563
00:31:12,402 --> 00:31:14,560
- Not in enough trouble already?
- I am.
564
00:31:14,737 --> 00:31:18,021
Isn't the point that Sam wouldn't
have found a way to be chummy...
565
00:31:18,198 --> 00:31:19,905
...with a woman
who wasn't appealing?
566
00:31:20,074 --> 00:31:22,113
He'd be able to,
but that isn't the point.
567
00:31:22,284 --> 00:31:26,411
The point is that sexual revolution tends
to get in the way of actual revolution.
568
00:31:26,579 --> 00:31:29,662
Nonsense issues distract attention away
from real ones.
569
00:31:29,831 --> 00:31:33,780
Pay equity, child care,
honest-to-God sexual harassment...
570
00:31:33,959 --> 00:31:38,371
...and in this case, a speech
in front of the U.N. General Assembly.
571
00:31:38,546 --> 00:31:42,163
So you, 25 percent on the assessments
for category A.
572
00:31:42,340 --> 00:31:45,506
You, I don't know what your thing is.
And you...
573
00:31:45,676 --> 00:31:48,842
...stop trying to take the fun
out of my day.
574
00:31:49,012 --> 00:31:51,467
With that, I'm going to get a cupcake.
575
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:56,220
For the moment, I'll do
what she's telling me to do.
576
00:31:56,393 --> 00:31:59,393
- We're at OEOB.
- Okay.
577
00:32:07,818 --> 00:32:09,893
How you doing?
578
00:32:19,118 --> 00:32:20,825
There.
579
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,322
It's not the best in the world,
but it's hot.
580
00:32:25,789 --> 00:32:28,244
I'm sorry, I didn't ask you
your name before.
581
00:32:28,416 --> 00:32:29,875
Donna.
582
00:32:30,042 --> 00:32:31,785
- Really?
- Yeah.
583
00:32:32,378 --> 00:32:34,002
Our daughter is Donna.
584
00:32:34,171 --> 00:32:36,922
- How old is she?
- She's 7 months.
585
00:32:37,089 --> 00:32:39,580
And her brother Harry is 3.
586
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:42,628
Three and a quarter,
he'd want me to say that.
587
00:32:45,846 --> 00:32:47,719
Do you know how it works
with the money?
588
00:32:47,889 --> 00:32:53,474
- I don't. I'm an assistant here.
- Bill's written...
589
00:32:54,144 --> 00:32:56,716
He's written negative things
about the president...
590
00:32:56,896 --> 00:32:58,389
- No.
- He and C. J... .
591
00:32:58,564 --> 00:33:00,805
Nobody cares about that tonight.
592
00:33:02,358 --> 00:33:03,982
Okay.
593
00:33:04,151 --> 00:33:06,392
And you wanna know a secret
about C.J.?
594
00:33:06,569 --> 00:33:09,523
But you can't tell
your husband this, really.
595
00:33:09,697 --> 00:33:12,187
She battles with them every day,
but loves reporters.
596
00:33:12,365 --> 00:33:16,907
She's very protective of them, and
it doesn't matter whether... You know.
597
00:33:22,415 --> 00:33:23,743
-It took...
-Wait.
598
00:33:23,916 --> 00:33:27,331
It took three days to get the language
through NSC and the NSA.
599
00:33:27,502 --> 00:33:30,170
- It isn't coming out of the speech.
- I didn't think so.
600
00:33:30,337 --> 00:33:33,539
- Why are we here for an hour?
- Members have drafted an insert.
601
00:33:33,715 --> 00:33:35,956
Will you look at it?
602
00:33:36,967 --> 00:33:39,042
Sure.
603
00:33:42,054 --> 00:33:44,130
This would follow your paragraph.
604
00:33:45,015 --> 00:33:49,177
"Our goal is neither to preach
nor proclaim American values.
605
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,765
We respect
our Islamic brothers and sisters.
606
00:33:51,936 --> 00:33:54,509
We have a great deal to learn
from the values...
607
00:33:54,688 --> 00:33:59,349
...of tolerance and faith that are deeply
held throughout the Islamic world."
608
00:34:02,361 --> 00:34:05,361
You're saying any resemblance
the previous paragraph...
609
00:34:05,530 --> 00:34:08,530
...may have had to foreign policy
is purely coincidental?
610
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:10,905
- That's right.
- Guess what?
611
00:34:11,076 --> 00:34:14,360
- What?
- Our goal is to proclaim American values.
612
00:34:14,536 --> 00:34:18,118
The speech isn't supposed to be
about ideology but about reality.
613
00:34:18,289 --> 00:34:20,993
The president will decide
what the speech is about...
614
00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:25,874
...but the reality is the U.S.A.
no longer sucks up to reactionaries...
615
00:34:26,045 --> 00:34:28,666
...and our staunch allies
will know what we mean.
616
00:34:28,839 --> 00:34:32,207
We don't have staunch allies
in the Arab world, just reluctant ones.
617
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,373
We have a coalition held together
with duct tape.
618
00:34:35,552 --> 00:34:37,628
A coalition without which
we cannot fight.
619
00:34:37,804 --> 00:34:40,294
Nobody's blowing off the coalition.
It'll be strong.
620
00:34:40,472 --> 00:34:41,931
- When we win?
- That's right.
621
00:34:42,099 --> 00:34:44,767
What's Egypt gonna think?
Or Pakistan?
622
00:34:44,934 --> 00:34:48,100
Freedom and democracy are coming soon
to a theater near them.
623
00:34:48,270 --> 00:34:49,598
So get dressed.
624
00:34:50,188 --> 00:34:51,895
Toby...
625
00:34:52,731 --> 00:34:55,767
...you guys are on a thing right now,
and I'm behind you.
626
00:34:55,942 --> 00:34:58,777
You know I'm behind you.
A lot of House Democrats are...
627
00:34:58,944 --> 00:35:01,399
- Not enough.
- And plenty of Republicans...
628
00:35:01,571 --> 00:35:06,446
...but this one moment in time,
you have to get off your horse and... .
629
00:35:06,617 --> 00:35:09,949
Simply put, be nice to the Arab world.
630
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,740
- Be nice?
- Yes.
631
00:35:13,789 --> 00:35:15,615
Well...
632
00:35:16,291 --> 00:35:18,199
...how about...
633
00:35:18,375 --> 00:35:21,909
...when we, instead of blowing Iraq
back to the 7th century...
634
00:35:22,086 --> 00:35:27,162
...for harboring terrorists and trying
to develop nuclear weapons...
635
00:35:27,340 --> 00:35:31,966
...we just imposed economic sanctions,
and were reviled by the Arab world...
636
00:35:32,136 --> 00:35:35,835
...for not giving them a global
charge card and a free-trade treaty?
637
00:35:36,013 --> 00:35:39,595
How about when we pushed Israel
to give up land for peace?
638
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:44,304
How about when we sent American
soldiers to protect Saudi Arabia...
639
00:35:44,478 --> 00:35:47,727
...and the Arab world told us
we were desecrating their Holy Land...
640
00:35:47,897 --> 00:35:50,055
...we'll ignore the fact
that we were invited?
641
00:35:50,232 --> 00:35:51,975
How about in the State of the Union?
642
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:55,353
The president praised Islamic people
as faithful and hardworking...
643
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:58,813
...to be denounced in the Arab press
as knowing nothing about Islam.
644
00:35:58,989 --> 00:36:00,981
- None of that is the point.
- What is?
645
00:36:01,157 --> 00:36:03,149
I don't remember explaining
to Italians...
646
00:36:03,367 --> 00:36:05,774
...our problem wasn't with them
but with Mussolini.
647
00:36:05,952 --> 00:36:09,783
Why does the U.S. have to take every
Arab country out for an ice-cream cone?
648
00:36:09,955 --> 00:36:11,864
They'll like us when we win!
649
00:36:19,004 --> 00:36:24,044
Thousands of Madrases teaching children
nothing, nothing, nothing...
650
00:36:24,216 --> 00:36:28,877
...but the Koran and to hate America.
Who do we see about that?
651
00:36:32,722 --> 00:36:37,715
Do I wanna preach America?
Judeo-Christianity? No.
652
00:36:38,476 --> 00:36:42,888
If their religion forbids them
from playing the trumpet, so be it.
653
00:36:43,397 --> 00:36:48,141
But I want those kids
to look at a globe.
654
00:36:49,735 --> 00:36:53,150
Be exposed to social sciences,
history...
655
00:36:53,321 --> 00:36:56,072
...some literature.
656
00:37:01,910 --> 00:37:04,661
They'll like us when we win.
657
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:14,038
Okay.
658
00:37:22,634 --> 00:37:26,085
Let me take another look
at the softer language.
659
00:37:52,906 --> 00:37:56,239
- How's she doing?
- She was asking how the money works.
660
00:37:56,409 --> 00:38:00,571
It's not money. Actually, it's a promise
to honor international sanctions...
661
00:38:00,746 --> 00:38:04,410
...against the export of something called
"coltan" by the Rwandan army.
662
00:38:04,582 --> 00:38:07,037
- What's coltan?
- A mineral they have in the Congo.
663
00:38:07,209 --> 00:38:10,328
Refined, it's a necessary component
of cell phones and pagers.
664
00:38:10,503 --> 00:38:14,250
And the Rwandans and Ugandans
smuggle it illegally.
665
00:38:14,422 --> 00:38:16,628
- Listen.
- What do you know?
666
00:38:16,799 --> 00:38:19,254
Akin Wamba, who's
the Mai Mai rebel commander...
667
00:38:19,426 --> 00:38:22,462
...sent word through a crew
that was filming in Goma.
668
00:38:22,637 --> 00:38:24,261
- Oh, God.
- Yeah.
669
00:38:24,430 --> 00:38:26,837
He was killed in an ambush.
670
00:38:28,641 --> 00:38:31,048
Embassy Kinshasa's gonna get the body.
671
00:39:10,005 --> 00:39:12,840
It can't be easy being you.
672
00:39:13,007 --> 00:39:17,218
- I told you...
- I don't mean the job. I meant...
673
00:39:17,386 --> 00:39:20,469
...you know, being inside your head.
674
00:39:20,638 --> 00:39:23,010
What's wrong with my head?
675
00:39:23,182 --> 00:39:25,008
- I don't know.
- Of course not.
676
00:39:25,183 --> 00:39:28,017
That would be $385 an hour.
677
00:39:28,185 --> 00:39:31,719
They keep moving the goal posts
on you, don't they?
678
00:39:31,896 --> 00:39:35,430
Get A's, good college, Latin honors...
679
00:39:35,607 --> 00:39:37,896
...get into the London School
of Economics...
680
00:39:38,068 --> 00:39:41,685
...get a good teaching job,
lvy League school, tenure.
681
00:39:41,862 --> 00:39:45,064
Now you got to publish.
Now you gotta go to Stockholm.
682
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:47,944
It's not good for a person
to keep setting goals?
683
00:39:48,117 --> 00:39:50,323
It probably is,
but it's tricky for somebody...
684
00:39:50,493 --> 00:39:53,826
...who's still trying to get his father
to stop hitting him.
685
00:39:53,996 --> 00:39:57,993
Well, I'm told that most men
lead lives of quiet desperation.
686
00:39:58,166 --> 00:40:01,748
Yeah, but that's most men.
That's not you.
687
00:40:01,919 --> 00:40:04,835
That's the other people,
the ones who feel stress.
688
00:40:05,004 --> 00:40:08,337
- You're destined for something else.
- I have abilities.
689
00:40:08,882 --> 00:40:11,551
And now you have an opportunity
to use them.
690
00:40:11,718 --> 00:40:13,875
I think I have.
691
00:40:14,803 --> 00:40:19,630
That room I passed down the hall
on the left, it's got a name, right?
692
00:40:19,807 --> 00:40:22,973
I think you're talking about
the Lincoln Bedroom.
693
00:40:23,309 --> 00:40:26,808
This is a hell of a curve
you get graded on now.
694
00:40:26,979 --> 00:40:32,316
Lincoln freed the slaves and won
the Civil War."Thank you. Next.
695
00:40:32,942 --> 00:40:35,895
And what will you be singing for us
today, Mr. Bartlet?"
696
00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:39,484
"Well, we've had six straight quarters
of economic growth."
697
00:40:39,655 --> 00:40:41,065
That's not easy.
698
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,148
- Okay.
- It's not easy.
699
00:40:43,324 --> 00:40:46,657
- I believe you.
- I think I've made tough choices.
700
00:40:46,827 --> 00:40:49,282
I think Lincoln...
701
00:40:49,787 --> 00:40:53,784
...did what he thought was right even
though it meant losing half the country.
702
00:40:54,666 --> 00:40:57,121
I think you don't do
what you think is right...
703
00:40:57,293 --> 00:41:01,455
...if it means losing
Michigan's electoral votes.
704
00:41:02,964 --> 00:41:05,170
You don't know anything.
705
00:41:05,758 --> 00:41:07,417
I'll be the first to admit that.
706
00:41:07,592 --> 00:41:09,917
I'm not trying to get my father
to like me.
707
00:41:10,094 --> 00:41:15,218
Good, because it's never,
never gonna happen.
708
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:17,880
- Look...
- We're done for the night.
709
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:22,300
- What?
- We've been here for two hours.
710
00:41:22,478 --> 00:41:25,728
It was a double session.
We're done for the night.
711
00:41:25,897 --> 00:41:30,392
Stanley, I hate to put it this way,
but I'm me and you're you...
712
00:41:30,568 --> 00:41:32,773
...and we're done
when I say we're done.
713
00:41:32,944 --> 00:41:34,983
No.
714
00:41:37,031 --> 00:41:40,233
I think you could use some assistance
right now, sir.
715
00:41:41,159 --> 00:41:46,448
Use me, don't use me,
but all I can offer you is this:
716
00:41:46,621 --> 00:41:50,867
I'll be the only person in the world
other than your family...
717
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:53,745
...who doesn't care
that you're the president.
718
00:41:56,086 --> 00:41:58,577
Our time is up.
