1
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:09,708
Previously on The West Wing...
2
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,510
SANTOS:
I'm going to need another cop
when Bartlet leaves office.
3
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,712
Secretary of State.
4
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:15,881
SANTOS:
I'm not asking you if
you'd consider it, Arnie.
5
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:17,416
I'm asking you to do it.
6
00:00:17,418 --> 00:00:18,684
ANDY:
So, Presidential pardons.
7
00:00:18,686 --> 00:00:20,519
'Tis the season, right?
8
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:22,888
The DOJ and the pardon attorney
are reviewing applications,
9
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:24,890
but I don't think
anybody's had an opportunity...
10
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:26,959
Is Toby on a list somewhere?
11
00:00:26,961 --> 00:00:28,594
TOBY:
For a moment, I actually
thought you came here
12
00:00:28,596 --> 00:00:29,862
'cause you gave a crap
13
00:00:29,864 --> 00:00:31,296
and wanted to see
how I was doing.
14
00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:32,931
You don't need a pardon.
15
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:34,700
You need a frying pan
to the side of your head.
16
00:00:34,702 --> 00:00:36,135
I don't want a pardon.
17
00:00:36,137 --> 00:00:37,903
Well, that simplifies matters.
Thanks.
18
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,779

00:01:08,768 --> 00:01:11,437
¶ ¶
20
00:01:22,682 --> 00:01:25,818
( soft groan )
21
00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:36,028
( quiet sigh )
22
00:01:38,565 --> 00:01:39,965
NEWSCASTER ( on radio ):
It promises to be
23
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:42,134
a cold and windy day
here in the Capital
24
00:01:42,136 --> 00:01:45,337
as the predicted
140,000 spectators
25
00:01:45,339 --> 00:01:46,805
will crowd the Capital Mall
26
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:49,308
to watch Matthew Santos
take the oath of office
27
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:51,810
as the next President
of the United States.
28
00:01:51,812 --> 00:01:54,646
It is the end of an era,
as President Bartlet steps down
29
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:57,850
after eight often tumultuous
years in the Oval Office.
30
00:01:57,852 --> 00:02:01,286
President Bartlet's popularity
certainly helped Matthew Santos
31
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:03,322
in his tight electoral...
32
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,912
¶ ¶
33
00:02:36,122 --> 00:02:37,990
( ball bouncing on wall )
34
00:02:53,606 --> 00:02:55,908
It's going to be cold
on that dais today.
35
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:57,376
Mm-hmm.
36
00:02:57,378 --> 00:02:59,211
Who in his right mind decided
37
00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:02,080
that January would be
the best time of year
38
00:03:02,082 --> 00:03:06,852
to hold an outdoor ceremony
north of the equator?
39
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:10,689
Jefferson, Adams, Franklin.
40
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:13,025
They should have lined 'em up
and shot 'em.
41
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,560
That's what King George had
in mind.
42
00:03:14,562 --> 00:03:16,094
January 20?
43
00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:17,529
They got a few things right.
44
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,198
Habeas Corpus, sure.
45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,566
Freedom of speech.
46
00:03:20,568 --> 00:03:23,235
Separation of powers--
what a crock.
47
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:33,378
You did a lot of good, Jed.
48
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:38,283
A lot of good.
49
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,945
HELEN:
Pearls or the gold cross?
50
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:41,780
Uh, gold cross.
51
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:43,548
You don't think it makes me look
a little bit like Mary Magdalene
52
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:46,018
on the...
Gold cross.
53
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:47,019
What are you wearing?
54
00:04:47,021 --> 00:04:48,120
Long underwear.
55
00:04:48,122 --> 00:04:49,655
It's gonna make you look bulky.
56
00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:50,956
Lou doesn't want me
to wear an overcoat
57
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,391
when I take the oath of office.
58
00:04:52,393 --> 00:04:54,192
It's gonna be
ten below out there.
59
00:04:54,194 --> 00:04:56,295
Youth, vitality...
Frostbite?
60
00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:58,397
Never too early to start
thinking about the reelect.
61
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:00,499
( laughs ):
That was a short honeymoon.
62
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:02,034
I'm going to go with the pearls.
63
00:05:02,036 --> 00:05:03,568
( knock at door,
door opening )
64
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:05,070
Mr. President-Elect,
Mrs. Santos.
65
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:06,471
Good morning, Bram.
66
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:07,472
The National Security Advisor
67
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,474
and General McLean
are here.
68
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:10,909
Then we should run you
through today's schedule.
Yeah.
69
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:11,910
I'll be right down.
70
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:14,079
Thanks.
71
00:05:14,081 --> 00:05:15,147
HELEN:
Do you notice
how he just
72
00:05:15,149 --> 00:05:16,381
knocks and walks right in?
73
00:05:16,383 --> 00:05:17,749
Yeah, I know, honey.
I got to...
74
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:19,518
I'll talk to him
about it.
75
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520
We're gonna have to figure out
some kind of signal
76
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:22,521
when we want some privacy.
77
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:23,755
( laughs )
78
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,757
Like a necktie
on the doorknob.
79
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:29,695
Hmm. I...
80
00:05:29,697 --> 00:05:32,164
Thanks.
81
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:33,332
General McLean, huh?
82
00:05:33,334 --> 00:05:35,567
Yeah.
83
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:37,202
I think he's going
to give me the card
with the nuclear codes.
84
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:38,737
It's a card? Really?
85
00:05:38,739 --> 00:05:40,072
So I've been told.
86
00:05:40,074 --> 00:05:41,673
Better not leave that
laying around.
87
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:45,177
Oh, God.
88
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:48,747
Come on, it'll be an adventure.
89
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:50,449
That's what you told me
when you wanted
90
00:05:50,451 --> 00:05:52,517
to run for City Council,
and I didn't want you to.
91
00:05:53,619 --> 00:05:55,554
"Come on."
92
00:05:57,390 --> 00:06:00,125
"It'll be an adventure."
93
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:07,432
Perfect.
94
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:22,247
CHARLIE:
National Weather Service just
issued an ice storm warning
95
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:23,615
for all of Southern
New England.
96
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:24,549
Anything we can do?
97
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,885
Send 'em some salt?
98
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:28,420
Pardon Attorney needs
the President's signature
99
00:06:28,422 --> 00:06:29,888
on the clemency warrants.
100
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,623
The President decided
on the final list of names?
101
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:32,824
Late last night.
102
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:34,926
36 pardons, 17
commutations.
103
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:36,461
Anybody who's going
to set the press's
hair on fire?
104
00:06:36,463 --> 00:06:38,096
Peggy Ann Green.
105
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:40,098
Pot-pushin' Peggy?
It's medicinal.
106
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:41,933
Yeah, and I bet the
first joint's free.
107
00:06:41,935 --> 00:06:43,435
Well, DEA isn't going
to be happy.
108
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:45,070
Morning, sunshine.
109
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:46,338
Chief Usher's
waiting for you,
110
00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:49,141
and Will's already
in there.
111
00:06:49,143 --> 00:06:50,575
WILL:
Big ice storm
in New England.
112
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:51,843
Could be up to a quarter
of an inch
113
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:52,778
of accumulation
on the ground.
114
00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:53,779
Send 'em salt.
115
00:06:53,781 --> 00:06:55,480
And Mallory called.
116
00:06:55,482 --> 00:06:57,282
Wants to drop by
in about an hour.
Leo's Mallory?
117
00:06:57,284 --> 00:06:59,184
Said she
has something
she wants you
118
00:06:59,186 --> 00:07:01,586
to pass on to
the President.
119
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:03,522
You ready
for Curtis?
Sure.
120
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:05,323
Did you write your note
for the flak jacket yet?
121
00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:07,592
I don't know if I have any
useful advice to pass on really.
122
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:09,795
It's tradition.
You can't break the chain.
123
00:07:09,797 --> 00:07:11,763
Just make it funny.
124
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:12,998
Have we got a pardon list?
125
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,433
Fourth Estate's
chomping at the bit.
126
00:07:14,435 --> 00:07:16,301
Yeah, last night.
Anybody that's going
127
00:07:16,303 --> 00:07:17,636
to add a little spice
to my final briefing?
128
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,171
Peggy Ann Green.
129
00:07:19,173 --> 00:07:20,672
Granny Pot?
130
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:21,640
Hot-diggity-dog.
131
00:07:21,642 --> 00:07:23,175
A final act
132
00:07:23,177 --> 00:07:24,876
of self-immolation
before the hungry hordes.
133
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:26,178
You sound positively giddy.
134
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:27,512
Well, I was reaching
135
00:07:27,514 --> 00:07:28,947
for something more
like mild delight.
136
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,882
You enjoy being a human piñata
on C-Span?
137
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:33,018
You never know what you've got
till it's gone.
138
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:35,187
Mr. Chief Usher, what can we do
for you today?
139
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:38,056
I thought I should take a moment
to remind you of today's
140
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:40,959
schedule for the orderly
removal of the Bartlets' things
141
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:42,360
from the building.
142
00:07:42,362 --> 00:07:44,162
As soon as the President
and First Lady leave
143
00:07:44,164 --> 00:07:46,832
for the Capitol, 90 members
of my staff will begin
144
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:49,067
packing the
Bartlets' possessions.
145
00:07:49,069 --> 00:07:50,802
Precisely at noon,
146
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:51,803
16 moving vans
147
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,305
will line up
148
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:54,706
at the South Portico,
and an additional
149
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,641
30 staff members will arrive
150
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:58,743
at the West Wing to
pack the Oval Office.
151
00:07:58,745 --> 00:08:01,246
After the mass at Holy Trinity,
you come back here
152
00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:02,881
before heading across the street
to the White House
153
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:04,916
for a 10:00 a.m. reception
with the President, First Lady
154
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:06,418
and members
of the JCCIC.
155
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,920
JCCIC?
Joint Congressional
Committee
156
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,088
on Inaugural
Ceremonies.
157
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:11,990
Hence, the acronym.
158
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,525
BRAM:
Following the reception
the President-Elect
159
00:08:13,527 --> 00:08:16,361
and the President will
travel to the Capitol
160
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:18,597
for the swearing-in
ceremonies in a
single limousine.
161
00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:20,165
Mrs. Bartlet and
I got to hitch?
162
00:08:20,167 --> 00:08:22,200
You hike up that skirt,
you'll do fine.
Oh!
163
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:23,502
BRAM:
The President
and the First Lady
164
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,237
will then be escorted
to the podium
165
00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:27,439
on the West Terrace, while you
and Mrs. Santos are taken
166
00:08:27,441 --> 00:08:29,541
through the Capitol to be
introduced to the crowd.
167
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:32,177
Ronna?
Speaker Sellner will deliver
the opening remarks,
168
00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:33,678
followed by the Invocation,
followed by performances
169
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,614
by Keb' Mo' and Gloria Estefan.
170
00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:37,449
I'm looking forward to that.
HELEN:
That's because
171
00:08:37,451 --> 00:08:39,417
you're not gonna be wearing
pantyhose in ten degree weather.
172
00:08:39,419 --> 00:08:42,387
RONNA:
Followed by a poetry reading
by Jimmy Santiago Baca.
173
00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:44,556
And then, at noon exactly,
you take the oath of office.
174
00:08:44,558 --> 00:08:46,191
Followed by a
21-gun salute
175
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:48,527
and the Marine Band playing
"Hail To The Chief."
176
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:50,729
Just in case you weren't feeling
important enough
177
00:08:50,731 --> 00:08:52,731
after they gave you
the nuclear launch codes.
178
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:54,566
RONNA:
You then give your
inaugural address.
179
00:08:54,568 --> 00:08:56,535
ANNABETH
And after the proceedings,
you will escort the Bartlets
180
00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:58,103
to the limo that will take them
181
00:08:58,105 --> 00:08:59,938
to Andrews for their trip home
to New Hampshire.
182
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:02,040
Do I get to start governing
any time in here?
183
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:03,808
As soon as you've taken
the oath of office,
184
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:06,278
we start moving staff
into the West Wing.
185
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,913
Do we really have to go
to nine parties tonight?
186
00:09:07,915 --> 00:09:09,147
DONNA:
You only have to stay
187
00:09:09,149 --> 00:09:11,049
for 20 minutes or so--
one dance,
188
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,285
shake a few hands,
then on to the next.
What kind of dance?
189
00:09:13,287 --> 00:09:14,452
ANNABETH:
What's the name
of your favorite song?
190
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,054
I'll sneak it
to the orchestras.
191
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:17,956
Oh, no, I am not dancing
to "You Can Leave Your Hat On."
192
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:19,758
Sir, we should really head
to the church.
193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,959
Let's get it on.
194
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,427
MARGARET:
We're supposed
195
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:23,628
to leave our credentials
at the front desk
196
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:25,564
when we exit the building,
197
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:28,300
and they've asked that we vacate
our parking spaces by 2:00 p.m.
198
00:09:28,302 --> 00:09:29,935
Not a problem, I walked today.
199
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:31,603
Really?
200
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:32,904
Yes. I often walk.
201
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:33,805
You do?
202
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:35,674
Sometimes I walk.
203
00:09:35,676 --> 00:09:37,242
I'm going to walk a lot more
when I get back to California.
204
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:39,244
Los Angeles being
a pedestrian nirvana.
205
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,913
WILL ( knocking ):
That was disappointing.
What was?
206
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,148
You see my final briefing?
Nope.
207
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,182
They didn't push back
208
00:09:44,184 --> 00:09:45,350
on Pot-Pushing Peggy.
209
00:09:45,352 --> 00:09:46,518
You must be heartbroken.
210
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,986
Inconsolable.
211
00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:49,421
There's a train derailment
in New England.
212
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:50,922
The ice storm?
Just came over on CNN.
213
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,290
CHARLIE:
Got a minute?
214
00:09:52,292 --> 00:09:53,692
C.J.:
Apparently,
I'm good until 2:00,
215
00:09:53,694 --> 00:09:55,126
and then I've got
to move my car.
216
00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:56,161
Pardon Attorney
brought the warrants
217
00:09:56,163 --> 00:09:58,129
for the President to sign.
218
00:09:58,131 --> 00:09:59,097
He called her early
this morning.
219
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:00,265
Asked her to add a name.
220
00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:06,271
It's the last one.
221
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:11,142
You may get your wish
for a final pasting
222
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:12,877
on national television.
223
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:26,725
Good morning, Mr. President.
224
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:28,526
Morning.
225
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:29,861
How are you feeling
this morning?
226
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:31,463
Unemployed.
227
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:33,031
Lot of that going around
the building.
228
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:34,366
Uh, Dr. McNally is waiting
229
00:10:34,368 --> 00:10:35,867
to give you
your security briefing.
230
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:37,369
Uh, you asked me to remind you
231
00:10:37,371 --> 00:10:39,170
to write a note
to the President-Elect.
232
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:40,372
( knocking )
And Ms. Cregg
233
00:10:40,374 --> 00:10:41,740
is anxious to
speak with you.
234
00:10:41,742 --> 00:10:43,375
Mr. President?
Good morning, all.
235
00:10:43,377 --> 00:10:44,709
You heard about this
ice storm up in...
236
00:10:44,711 --> 00:10:46,511
New England, yeah.
237
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:48,146
Unfortunately, the
storm caused a
train derailment.
238
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,981
On Amtrak's regional route
239
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:51,516
between Portland, Maine,
and Boston.
240
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:52,717
Any fatalities?
241
00:10:52,719 --> 00:10:54,019
13 injuries so far.
242
00:10:54,021 --> 00:10:55,153
The worst is a
badly broken leg.
243
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,855
But with the
extreme weather,
244
00:10:56,857 --> 00:10:58,189
we're going to need an
emergency rescue operation
245
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:00,392
before everybody freezes
to death out there.
246
00:11:00,394 --> 00:11:01,726
Sounds like a state matter.
247
00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:03,028
Normally, yes,
but it's between
248
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:04,829
the Exeter and
Haverhill stops.
249
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,032
Also known as the New
Hampshire-Massachusetts border.
250
00:11:07,034 --> 00:11:08,566
BARTLET:
The Governors are fighting
over jurisdiction.
251
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:09,768
KATE:
Governor Sidley says
252
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,503
it's New Hampshire's
problem,
253
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:13,171
Governor Wilkins says
it's a Massachusetts issue.
254
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:14,439
BARTLET:
Debbie, get the governor
on the phone, please.
255
00:11:14,441 --> 00:11:16,007
Which governor, sir?
Whichever one
256
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,876
you can get on the line first!
257
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:19,177
WILL:
Should we consider
nationalizing the Guard, sir,
258
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,679
send in units?
259
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:21,913
KATE:
Don't you think
that's something
260
00:11:21,915 --> 00:11:22,914
a president might
want to avoid
261
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,349
in his final
hours in office?
262
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:25,884
So we should survey
the accident site
263
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:27,085
to resolve the
border dispute?
264
00:11:27,087 --> 00:11:28,353
What are we
supposed to do,
265
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:29,754
send in a team
of cartographers?
266
00:11:29,756 --> 00:11:31,089
Both governors
are on the line, sir.
267
00:11:31,091 --> 00:11:32,624
Thank you.
268
00:11:32,626 --> 00:11:34,059
Pick a number, two or four.
269
00:11:34,061 --> 00:11:35,527
Two.
Four.
270
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:39,197
Governor, call up a Guard unit
271
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:40,598
and get them to this crash site.
272
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,302
No one gives a damn
where the accident is.
273
00:11:44,304 --> 00:11:45,970
Be that as it may, sir,
274
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:47,939
you are about to become
a star player
275
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:50,875
in my soon-to-be-written
autobiography.
276
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:52,243
It's the right decision.
277
00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:53,578
Thank you.
278
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,816
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
279
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:01,052
( sighs )
280
00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:06,491
You're hovering, Claudia Jean.
281
00:12:06,493 --> 00:12:08,293
Yes, sir.
282
00:12:08,295 --> 00:12:09,961
What do you got there?
283
00:12:09,963 --> 00:12:13,765
The pardons and clemency
warrants for your signature.
284
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:18,169
I haven't decided to do it.
285
00:12:18,171 --> 00:12:19,404
No?
286
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:24,476
Do you have an opinion?
287
00:12:24,478 --> 00:12:28,146
I'm sure you'll do
whatever you think is best.
288
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,849
Toby's is the last one
in the folder.
289
00:12:30,851 --> 00:12:32,851
Anything else?
No, sir.
290
00:12:32,853 --> 00:12:35,587
Thank you,
Mr. President.
291
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:40,992
DEBBIE:
Governor Wilkins is
still holding on two.
292
00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:43,461
Tell him
I'll be right there.
293
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:54,939
C.J.:
How is the baby?
294
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,875
Wonderful, noisy.
295
00:12:56,877 --> 00:12:58,877
All boy.
( chuckles )
296
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:00,445
Sam's coming back
to work for Josh.
297
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,547
Wow, that's great.
298
00:13:02,549 --> 00:13:04,149
How is he?
Engaged.
299
00:13:04,151 --> 00:13:05,383
Good for him.
300
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:06,951
Say hello for me,
would you?
301
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:08,319
He's in town, you
can tell him yourself.
302
00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:09,788
Hmm.
303
00:13:13,092 --> 00:13:16,528
I've been going
through Dad's stuff...
304
00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:18,530
and I found something
I thought the President
305
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:19,998
might want to have back.
306
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,399
You don't want to give it
to him yourself?
307
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:22,867
It's a little sentimental.
308
00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:24,068
I'll make sure he gets it.
309
00:13:27,673 --> 00:13:29,474
( softly ):
Thanks.
310
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:34,412
Dad loved every moment
he spent here.
311
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:43,721
DEBBIE:
Mrs. Bartlet called, asked me
312
00:13:43,723 --> 00:13:45,523
to remind you
that the Santoses
313
00:13:45,525 --> 00:13:51,563
are expected in the residence
in less than 55 minutes.
314
00:13:51,565 --> 00:13:53,231
She also asked me to mention
that you need
315
00:13:53,233 --> 00:13:56,868
to leave enough time to change
before they arrive.
316
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:59,704
Mrs. Bartlet doesn't want me
wearing penny loafers
317
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:01,873
and a cardigan to the Inaugural?
318
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:03,842
That's about the gist
of it, yes, sir.
319
00:14:03,844 --> 00:14:06,744
Did you write that note
to President-Elect Santos yet?
320
00:14:06,746 --> 00:14:09,347
Saving that for last.
321
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:12,383
All done.
322
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:14,752
What about that one?
323
00:14:14,754 --> 00:14:16,955
I'm still on the fence.
324
00:14:16,957 --> 00:14:19,090
You do realize that you turn
into a pumpkin at noon?
325
00:14:19,092 --> 00:14:20,258
I'm going to take
326
00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:22,460
one final stroll
around the joint.
327
00:14:22,462 --> 00:14:24,762
Make sure nobody's making off
with the cutlery.
328
00:14:24,764 --> 00:14:26,097
53 minutes.
329
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,399
Did he sign it?
330
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:29,701
C.J.:
Not yet.
331
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,069
Is he going to sign it?
332
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:32,737
I have no idea.
333
00:14:32,739 --> 00:14:34,138
You think
he should sign it?
334
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:35,607
I think the
founding fathers
335
00:14:35,609 --> 00:14:37,408
left it to the
President to decide
336
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:39,143
who should and shouldn't
get clemency.
337
00:14:39,145 --> 00:14:40,945
National Guard on the way
to the train accident?
338
00:14:40,947 --> 00:14:43,314
Yep.
You know
we probably witnessed
339
00:14:43,316 --> 00:14:45,316
the final act of governance
of the Bartlet Administration.
340
00:14:45,318 --> 00:14:46,551
The President serving
341
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:48,753
as national schoolmarm
on a snow day.
342
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:50,455
Nice job on Granny Ganja.
343
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:51,923
I would've thought you would
have gotten a little more
344
00:14:51,925 --> 00:14:52,824
of a rise out of them
on that.
345
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,325
Yeah, me, too.
346
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:56,060
You do the flak jacket
note yet?
347
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:57,128
Little writer's block.
348
00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:58,396
Okay, just make it funny.
349
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:00,231
Right.
350
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:02,600
Let me know if
he signs it.
351
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:03,601
Signs what?
352
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:04,836
You're a little early.
353
00:15:04,838 --> 00:15:06,604
The Santoses
went to church,
354
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:09,440
so I got an hour to kill before
heading over to the Capitol.
355
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:12,911
I thought I'd drop by,
and make one last stab
356
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:14,078
at getting you to stay on.
357
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:19,851
9:30 tomorrow morning
Dulles to LAX, non-stop,
358
00:15:19,853 --> 00:15:21,853
glass of bad merlot,
three bags of peanuts,
359
00:15:21,855 --> 00:15:22,954
and an Ambien.
360
00:15:22,956 --> 00:15:25,456
But thanks for asking.
361
00:15:25,458 --> 00:15:26,858
Danny?
362
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:31,262
Waiting at LAX with
a tub of sunscreen.
363
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:32,664
So...
364
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,365
Baker for VP.
365
00:15:34,367 --> 00:15:36,000
You're going to have quite
a battle up on the hill.
366
00:15:36,002 --> 00:15:38,503
Yeah, we're hoping Vinick
at state
367
00:15:38,505 --> 00:15:40,305
helps grease the skids
a little.
368
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:44,642
You ever stop thinking of this
as Leo's office?
369
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:49,681
No.
370
00:15:49,683 --> 00:15:51,950
Oh, hey, I've got
something for you.
371
00:15:56,088 --> 00:15:57,522
"WWLD"?
372
00:15:57,524 --> 00:16:00,124
"What Would Leo Do."
373
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:06,464
You're going to do great, Josh.
374
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:07,732
You don't need me.
375
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,005
Morning, Carol.
Mr. President.
376
00:16:14,007 --> 00:16:15,540
Thanks you for all
your hard work.
377
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:16,574
Couldn't have done
it without you.
378
00:16:16,576 --> 00:16:19,043
Thank you,
Mr. President.
379
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:21,179
Morning, Ray, thank you.
380
00:16:21,181 --> 00:16:22,714
Hey, Carla.
381
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:25,550
Larry.
Yes.
382
00:16:25,552 --> 00:16:27,385
Going to finally get some time
with the kids now, I hope.
383
00:16:27,387 --> 00:16:28,586
Oh, absolutely,
Mr. President.
384
00:16:28,588 --> 00:16:29,420
Ed, thanks for
your help.
385
00:16:29,422 --> 00:16:31,556
No, sir, thank you.
386
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,326
Nancy, how is
your mother doing?
387
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:36,995
She's fine now,
Mr. President.
388
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:38,863
Tell her I'm looking forward
to seeing her again soon,
389
00:16:38,865 --> 00:16:40,098
would you, please?
Absolutely, sir.
390
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:41,432
Thank you.
391
00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:47,839
I got to go.
392
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:49,440
Do you need something, sir?
Heard a rumor
393
00:16:49,442 --> 00:16:52,076
about you and the Oregon 4th--
any truth to it?
394
00:16:52,078 --> 00:16:53,511
D-triple-C thinks it'll be
a pretty tough race.
395
00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:55,279
Give me a call.
396
00:16:55,281 --> 00:16:57,081
I'll come up there, help you
pound in some lawn signs.
397
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:58,282
I'll have a mallet ready, sir.
398
00:17:00,219 --> 00:17:01,619
Excuse me, will you?
399
00:17:05,391 --> 00:17:06,524
Morning, Charlie.
400
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,559
Mr. President.
401
00:17:08,561 --> 00:17:10,862
Have you made a decision
about your future?
402
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:11,929
Georgetown Law.
403
00:17:11,931 --> 00:17:13,297
You got the early acceptance?
404
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:14,932
I think the letter
from you may have helped
405
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:17,435
a little, sir.
406
00:17:17,437 --> 00:17:19,037
I don't need this anymore.
407
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:21,873
I thought you maybe you could
get some use out of it.
408
00:17:25,744 --> 00:17:28,112
I was trying to remember
if my father had given it
409
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:31,049
to me when I was
in the tenth grade or the 11th.
410
00:17:32,251 --> 00:17:34,652
I considered
getting you a tie
411
00:17:34,654 --> 00:17:37,922
with the scales
of justice on it.
412
00:17:37,924 --> 00:17:40,992
Figured you'd use this more.
413
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:46,597
Thank you, Mr. President.
414
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,466
Thank you, Charlie.
415
00:17:56,008 --> 00:18:00,244
( siren wailing )
416
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:01,679
Homily seemed a
little pointed.
417
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:03,014
Hmm?
418
00:18:03,016 --> 00:18:04,816
The Cardinal,
you don't think
419
00:18:04,818 --> 00:18:07,351
he was pushing the "swords into
plowshares" stuff a little hard?
420
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:10,588
Well, he's right,
this Kazakhstan thing is a mess.
421
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,523
We got thousands
of our soldiers
422
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:14,258
in the middle
of Central Asia,
423
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:16,427
and we haven't a clue
as to what's next.
424
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:18,329
Nine inaugural balls?
425
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:19,363
You think I'm supposed
426
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:21,499
to wear nine gowns?
427
00:18:21,501 --> 00:18:22,700
Do you have nine gowns?
428
00:18:22,702 --> 00:18:24,035
No.
429
00:18:24,037 --> 00:18:25,136
Well, then probably not.
430
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:29,974
DEBBIE:
19 minutes
431
00:18:29,976 --> 00:18:31,275
and counting, sir.
432
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:32,844
Almost done.
433
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:54,899
( writing )
434
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:04,242
Well... that's it.
435
00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:07,411
What about
that final pardon warrant?
436
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:08,312
There's still time.
437
00:19:08,314 --> 00:19:10,248
Not much.
438
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:12,083
Two hours and 19 minutes.
439
00:19:12,085 --> 00:19:13,851
Two hours and 18.
( knock at door )
440
00:19:13,853 --> 00:19:15,686
C.J.:
Mr. President?
441
00:19:15,688 --> 00:19:17,221
Aren't you supposed to be
in the residence
442
00:19:17,223 --> 00:19:18,389
getting ready
for the Santoses' arrival?
443
00:19:18,391 --> 00:19:19,857
Yes.
Just leaving.
444
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:21,726
So he keeps saying.
445
00:19:21,728 --> 00:19:24,595
Mallory came by this morning,
and asked me to give you this.
446
00:19:24,597 --> 00:19:26,531
I was going to ask Debbie
to send it with you
447
00:19:26,533 --> 00:19:28,032
on the plane, but...
448
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:29,734
Why didn't she stop
in and say hello?
449
00:19:29,736 --> 00:19:31,702
I don't think she wanted
to bother you on your last day.
450
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:33,504
DEBBIE:
16 minutes, sir.
451
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:34,739
I'm a fast dresser.
452
00:19:34,741 --> 00:19:36,407
Not that fast.
453
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:39,043
Why don't I put this
in your briefcase for the plane.
454
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,849
Your letter
to President-Elect Santos?
455
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:46,584
Mm-hmm.
456
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:00,064
It's been a pleasure,
Claudia Jean.
457
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:03,301
The pleasure has been
all mine, sir.
458
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:19,550
( paper sliding )
459
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,586
( sighs )
460
00:20:30,562 --> 00:20:32,296
( sighs )
461
00:21:02,694 --> 00:21:07,498
¶ ¶
462
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:23,948
SANTOS:
Thank you, sir.
463
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,016
Thank you.
464
00:21:25,018 --> 00:21:26,284
Nice to meet you, thank you.
465
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:27,985
HELEN:
Thank you very much.
466
00:21:27,987 --> 00:21:29,520
Thank you.
Good-bye
Mr. President-Elect.
467
00:21:29,522 --> 00:21:30,521
Thank you so much
for your help.
468
00:21:30,523 --> 00:21:31,789
Good-bye, thank you.
469
00:21:46,905 --> 00:21:49,307
You okay?
470
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:52,076
Sure.
471
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:53,878
We could make a
run for it you know.
472
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,246
Catch the first
plane out of Dulles.
473
00:21:55,248 --> 00:21:56,714
Head down to Panama.
474
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:59,083
I hear Uruguay's nice.
Southern Hemisphere.
475
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:00,518
It's summer down there.
Cheaper housing.
476
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,585
You speak the language.
477
00:22:01,587 --> 00:22:02,820
What about the kids?
478
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:04,488
Send them a postcard.
479
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:05,990
They'll be pissed.
480
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:14,932
BARTLET:
I left enough time.
481
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:16,567
ABBEY:
No, you didn't.
482
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:18,269
I was ready before they
got here, wasn't I?
483
00:22:18,271 --> 00:22:19,737
That's because
they're running late.
484
00:22:19,739 --> 00:22:21,339
When was the
last time someone
485
00:22:21,341 --> 00:22:23,040
actually was
late to meet us?
486
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:25,076
Eight years ago
to the day.
487
00:22:25,078 --> 00:22:27,445
Get used to it, it's going
to happen a lot more.
488
00:22:27,447 --> 00:22:29,613
Oh, the girls are
going to be waiting
for us when we get
489
00:22:29,615 --> 00:22:30,915
to the farm this evening.
490
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:32,083
It's supposed
to be a surprise,
491
00:22:32,085 --> 00:22:33,217
so try and act like it.
492
00:22:33,219 --> 00:22:34,719
Tonight?
493
00:22:34,721 --> 00:22:36,220
I was looking forward
to some peace and quiet.
494
00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:38,689
I know, that's why
I'm warning you.
495
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:42,126
I don't want you to look
stricken when you see them.
496
00:22:42,128 --> 00:22:43,861
Does it have
to be tonight?
497
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:45,563
They just wanted
to show you their love
498
00:22:45,565 --> 00:22:48,466
and support
in your hour of need.
499
00:22:48,468 --> 00:22:50,468
They're afraid you might have
some re-entry issues
500
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:52,570
in returning to live
amongst us mere mortals.
501
00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:55,072
Have I been so
out of touch?
502
00:22:55,074 --> 00:22:57,074
When was the last time
you used a telephone?
503
00:22:57,076 --> 00:22:58,376
Or went to a bank?
504
00:22:58,378 --> 00:22:59,477
Or drove a car?
505
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:00,978
It's just like
riding a bike.
506
00:23:00,980 --> 00:23:02,713
Only more horsepower,
right?
507
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:04,415
GINGER:
Excuse me, Mr. President?
508
00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:05,916
The Santoses have arrived.
509
00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:07,718
They're in
the Blue Room.
Thank you.
510
00:23:09,087 --> 00:23:10,154
Abbey?
511
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:28,672
( sirens wailing )
512
00:23:32,744 --> 00:23:35,746
SANTOS:
Nine Inaugural Balls.
How's that supposed to work?
513
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:37,114
You'll want to skip
the champagne
514
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,516
when they do the toast.
515
00:23:40,952 --> 00:23:43,287
I'm afraid I made a bit
of a mess this morning.
516
00:23:43,289 --> 00:23:46,323
It may eat into
your news cycle.
517
00:23:46,325 --> 00:23:47,024
Oh?
518
00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:48,526
The pardons.
519
00:23:48,528 --> 00:23:50,294
Granny Pot, I heard.
520
00:23:50,296 --> 00:23:51,462
And a few others.
521
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,801
How's the speech?
522
00:23:56,803 --> 00:23:58,469
It's okay.
523
00:23:58,471 --> 00:24:01,005
A couple of good lines.
524
00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:04,175
There's no "Ask not what your
country can do for you..."
525
00:24:04,177 --> 00:24:07,011
JFK really screwed us
with that one, didn't he?
526
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:12,149
Have you chosen a biblical
quotation for the oath?
527
00:24:12,151 --> 00:24:15,119
Kings 3:9-11.
528
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:17,688
"Grant thy servant
an understanding heart
529
00:24:17,690 --> 00:24:19,857
to judge thy people..."?
That's the one.
530
00:24:19,859 --> 00:24:21,158
Good choice.
531
00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:27,164
You know what I'm
going to miss the most?
532
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:29,033
Hmm?
The Marine Corps Band.
533
00:24:30,101 --> 00:24:32,570
Those guys can really play.
534
00:24:32,572 --> 00:24:35,206
Ask them to do "Semper Fidelis."
535
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:37,041
They'll knock your socks off.
536
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:41,912
( sirens wailing )
537
00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:51,422
( cheering from crowd )
538
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:02,666
KILMER:
Mr. President.
539
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:03,934
Senator Wirth will escort
540
00:25:03,936 --> 00:25:05,736
you to the podium.
541
00:25:05,738 --> 00:25:07,238
This way,
Mr. President-Elect.
542
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,173
I guess this is where
our paths diverge.
543
00:25:09,175 --> 00:25:11,609
You sure you're
ready to retire?
544
00:25:11,611 --> 00:25:13,577
See you on the podium.
545
00:25:14,779 --> 00:25:16,580
Mr. President-Elect.
546
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:20,918
NEWSCASTER:
Capitol Police estimate
547
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,121
today's crowd at over 140,000,
with an additional 800,000
548
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:26,557
expected to line
the parade route later.
549
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,294
Incoming Secretary of State
Arnold Vinick is here.
550
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:32,563
Senator Vinick surprised
many Republicans--
551
00:25:32,565 --> 00:25:34,231
surprised everyone
across the board, really--
552
00:25:34,233 --> 00:25:37,735
by accepting a position
in Matt Santos' Cabinet.
553
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:41,405
Perhaps eschewing his own chance
to run again in four years.
554
00:25:44,009 --> 00:25:46,210
It's going to be
cold out there.
555
00:25:46,212 --> 00:25:48,479
Yeah.
556
00:25:48,481 --> 00:25:50,981
I hope brevity
is in order.
557
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:54,218
I cut the speech down
to about 80 pages in the car.
558
00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:57,087
The Gettysburg Address was
what-- four minutes long?
559
00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:59,223
A lot of run-on
sentences though.
560
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:00,925
Didn't a two hour
inaugural speech
561
00:26:00,927 --> 00:26:02,560
kill a President once?
562
00:26:02,562 --> 00:26:03,427
William Henry Harrison,
563
00:26:03,429 --> 00:26:06,397
but, you know, he was 68.
564
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:08,299
He refused to wear a coat.
565
00:26:08,301 --> 00:26:10,801
You refused
to wear a coat.
566
00:26:10,803 --> 00:26:12,236
But I'm wearing
long underwear.
567
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:13,470
Oh.
568
00:26:13,472 --> 00:26:15,406
( honor guard calls order )
569
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:17,074
ANNOUNCER:
The dignitaries on the platform
570
00:26:17,076 --> 00:26:18,442
have taken their seats.
571
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:23,581
And now here are
President Bartlet
572
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:25,516
and the First Lady making
their way to their seats
573
00:26:25,518 --> 00:26:27,685
on the podium.
574
00:26:27,687 --> 00:26:29,420
After eight years
in the White House,
575
00:26:29,422 --> 00:26:31,488
they are officially
handing over the reins
576
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:33,657
to the Santoses
in a few short minutes.
577
00:26:37,729 --> 00:26:39,663
Thought by many to be
an inexperienced small...
578
00:26:39,665 --> 00:26:40,831
C.J., the President's
office just sent this over.
579
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:42,199
Says it needs to go
580
00:26:42,201 --> 00:26:45,002
to the Pardon Attorney
immediately.
581
00:26:45,004 --> 00:26:46,670
...and critics
with his willingness to use
582
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:48,839
American force abroad
583
00:26:48,841 --> 00:26:52,042
and his aggressive pursuit
for peace on the world stage.
584
00:26:56,648 --> 00:26:58,482
( band playing,
crowd cheering )
585
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:05,956
Man, I hope Janet
Spragens has her TV on.
586
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:07,791
Who?
Senior year,
587
00:27:07,793 --> 00:27:09,493
she beat me out for
the last varsity spot
588
00:27:09,495 --> 00:27:11,228
on the swim team.
Guess what?
589
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:13,330
What?
You win.
590
00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:22,840
Though she did
get Don Vogel
591
00:27:22,842 --> 00:27:25,342
to take her to the
prom instead of me.
592
00:27:25,344 --> 00:27:26,877
We'll call it even then.
593
00:27:26,879 --> 00:27:28,312
Nah, I'm pretty sure
Janet had to put out
594
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:30,381
so Don would take her.
595
00:27:30,383 --> 00:27:33,384
ANNOUNCER:
Speaker of the House
Franklin B. Sellner.
596
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:41,525
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mrs. Helen Santos.
597
00:27:41,527 --> 00:27:43,360
( applause )
598
00:27:43,362 --> 00:27:45,429
No turning back now.
599
00:27:47,265 --> 00:27:49,867
( applause )
600
00:27:49,869 --> 00:27:51,869
Ladies and gentlemen,
601
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:54,872
President-Elect
of the United States
602
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:57,841
Matthew Vincente Santos.
603
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,910
( applause )
604
00:28:12,657 --> 00:28:15,926
CARDINAL DOHERTY:
Oh, Lord, we come together
on this historic
605
00:28:15,928 --> 00:28:19,797
and solemn occasion
to inaugurate a President.
606
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:23,867
We pray, oh Lord,
for President-Elect Santos
607
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,636
to whom you have
entrusted leadership
608
00:28:25,638 --> 00:28:28,138
of this great nation.
609
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:31,709
Give our new President
and all who advise him
610
00:28:31,711 --> 00:28:33,911
calmness in the face of storms,
611
00:28:33,913 --> 00:28:37,114
encouragement in the face
of frustrations
612
00:28:37,116 --> 00:28:40,617
and humility
in the face of triumph.
613
00:28:40,619 --> 00:28:44,655
We pray that this good
and generous country
614
00:28:44,657 --> 00:28:47,958
may be a blessing
to the nations of the world.
615
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,462
And fulfill the hopes
of our founding fathers.
616
00:28:51,464 --> 00:28:55,265
This we ask
in your most holy name. Amen.
617
00:28:55,267 --> 00:28:57,101
( applause )
618
00:29:01,206 --> 00:29:02,773
( guitar playing
"America the Beautiful" )
619
00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:34,338
¶ O beautiful
for spacious skies ¶
620
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:40,110
¶ For amber waves of grain ¶
621
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:47,618
¶ For purple mountain
majesties ¶
622
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:52,489
¶ Above the fruited plain ¶
623
00:29:52,491 --> 00:29:59,463
¶ America, America ¶
624
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:04,401
¶ God shed his grace on thee ¶
625
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:07,538
¶ And crown thy good ¶
626
00:30:07,540 --> 00:30:11,141
¶ With brotherhood ¶
627
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:15,979
¶ From sea to shining sea ¶
628
00:30:15,981 --> 00:30:19,983
¶ From sea
to shining sea ¶
629
00:30:22,086 --> 00:30:29,726
¶ From sea to shining sea. ¶
630
00:30:33,031 --> 00:30:34,765
( applause )
631
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:50,848
SELLNER:
Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives
me great pleasure to introduce
632
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:53,917
the Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court
633
00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:58,689
who will administer the
Presidential Oath of Office.
634
00:30:58,691 --> 00:31:02,459
The Honorable Evelyn Baker Lang.
635
00:31:05,496 --> 00:31:07,764
CHIEF JUSTICE:
Please raise your hand,
and repeat after me.
636
00:31:07,766 --> 00:31:11,134
I do solemnly swear
that I will faithfully execute
637
00:31:11,136 --> 00:31:14,137
the Office of the
President of the United States.
638
00:31:14,139 --> 00:31:16,306
SANTOS:
I do solemnly swear that I will
639
00:31:16,308 --> 00:31:19,042
faithfully execute
the Office of the President
640
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,544
of the United States.
641
00:31:20,546 --> 00:31:22,779
And will, to the
best of my ability...
642
00:31:22,781 --> 00:31:25,148
And will, to the best
of my ability...
643
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:27,150
...preserve, protect
and defend
644
00:31:27,152 --> 00:31:29,786
the Constitution
of the United States.
645
00:31:29,788 --> 00:31:33,223
...preserve, protect and defend
646
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:35,158
the Constitution
of the United States.
647
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,327
So help me God.
648
00:31:37,329 --> 00:31:39,329
So help me God.
649
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:41,965
( applause )
650
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:46,136
( band plays
"Hail to the Chief" )
651
00:32:04,088 --> 00:32:05,122
( turns off TV )
652
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:14,298
Afternoon, ma'am.
Afternoon, sir.
653
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:15,532
SAM:
Hey, Darrell.
Good to see you, sir.
654
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:17,334
Good to see you, too.
655
00:32:26,277 --> 00:32:28,178
Home, sweet home.
656
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:35,018
DEBBIE:
Your most important job
is keeping track
657
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:36,853
of who's going in and out
of the Oval Office.
658
00:32:36,855 --> 00:32:39,656
The first thing you'll need
to do is establish
659
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:41,325
who'll have
walk-in privileges.
660
00:32:41,327 --> 00:32:43,026
Usually it's just
the First Lady
661
00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:44,695
and the Chief of Staff.
662
00:32:44,697 --> 00:32:46,463
At some point, the President
is going to ask you
663
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:49,066
to take away his wife's
walk-in privileges.
664
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:52,402
Don't do it,
no matter how much he begs.
665
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:54,571
You have the right to attend
the morning staff meeting.
666
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:57,341
I never went because
the senior staff was already
667
00:32:57,343 --> 00:33:01,511
appropriately intimidated
by my stern visage and dry wit.
668
00:33:01,513 --> 00:33:03,513
But you're young,
you have a baby face.
669
00:33:03,515 --> 00:33:06,850
They are going to try to walk
all over you, you should go.
670
00:33:15,526 --> 00:33:18,095
Your desk sits
right outside this door.
671
00:33:18,097 --> 00:33:19,396
You prepare his schedule,
672
00:33:19,398 --> 00:33:22,332
you decide who goes in
and who doesn't.
673
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:25,369
Your most frequent response
to any question
674
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:28,705
will be "no."
675
00:33:28,707 --> 00:33:31,541
Say it with empathy
and you'll be fine.
676
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:42,853
Where's Mrs. Bartlet?
677
00:33:42,855 --> 00:33:44,688
Already inside
the car, sir.
678
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:48,258
Nice speech.
679
00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:49,693
No JFK.
680
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:52,062
No, but you've got time.
681
00:33:52,064 --> 00:33:55,265
I left something for you
on the desk.
682
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:56,466
Just some random thoughts.
683
00:33:56,468 --> 00:33:59,870
I look forward
to them, sir.
684
00:33:59,872 --> 00:34:02,939
Make me proud, Mr. President.
685
00:34:02,941 --> 00:34:04,875
I'll do my best,
Mr. President.
686
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:29,933
( sirens wailing )
687
00:34:34,772 --> 00:34:36,473
ABBEY:
What in the world
688
00:34:36,475 --> 00:34:41,111
was he trying to prove
by not wearing an overcoat?
689
00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:43,447
Youth and vigor.
690
00:34:43,449 --> 00:34:45,282
He looked like a leader.
691
00:34:45,284 --> 00:34:46,917
He looked like
a lunatic.
692
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:50,754
A young and vigorous lunatic.
693
00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:54,524
Jed?
694
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:57,494
Hmm?
695
00:34:57,496 --> 00:34:58,862
You made it.
696
00:34:58,864 --> 00:35:01,531
Hmm?
697
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:04,034
You're still here.
698
00:35:04,036 --> 00:35:06,603
Yeah.
699
00:35:06,605 --> 00:35:08,705
I'm still here.
700
00:35:10,775 --> 00:35:12,442
( marching band playing on TV)
701
00:35:12,444 --> 00:35:15,879
REPORTER:
As they walk
the last 150 yards...
702
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:18,281
BRAM:
This 137B?
703
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:20,217
Yeah.
704
00:35:20,219 --> 00:35:21,651
This going
to be you?
705
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:23,220
Looks like it.
706
00:35:23,222 --> 00:35:24,221
Charlie Young.
707
00:35:24,223 --> 00:35:25,288
Bram Howard.
708
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:26,056
Parade almost over?
709
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:27,224
Yep.
710
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:35,298
Watch out for the thermostat.
711
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,000
Hair one way or the other
712
00:35:37,002 --> 00:35:39,569
is the difference between
convection oven and meat locker.
713
00:35:46,611 --> 00:35:48,011
Have fun.
714
00:35:48,013 --> 00:35:49,045
You bet.
715
00:36:04,262 --> 00:36:05,996
You want to go
see a movie?
716
00:36:05,998 --> 00:36:08,031
It's 2:00
in the afternoon.
717
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:10,167
You got anything
better to do?
718
00:36:10,169 --> 00:36:12,002
No, I guess we don't.
719
00:36:12,004 --> 00:36:13,737
Is there even
a movie theater around here?
720
00:36:13,739 --> 00:36:15,772
I have no idea.
721
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:54,477
STEVE:
You look good up there.
722
00:36:56,347 --> 00:36:58,882
Thanks.
723
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:00,116
We missed you.
724
00:37:00,118 --> 00:37:02,586
Can't say the feeling's mutual.
725
00:37:02,588 --> 00:37:05,155
President Bartlet pardoned
Toby Ziegler today. Any comment?
726
00:37:05,157 --> 00:37:06,423
Nope.
727
00:37:06,425 --> 00:37:08,658
You have an opinion?
728
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,427
Sure, I do.
729
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:15,232
Unfortunately, the suite
that Mrs. Bartlet was using
730
00:37:15,234 --> 00:37:17,767
is going to be torn up
for most of the next year
731
00:37:17,769 --> 00:37:22,105
while we restore the marble
and original moldings.
732
00:37:22,107 --> 00:37:23,640
We're hoping that this suite
733
00:37:23,642 --> 00:37:26,509
will meet with
Mrs. Santos' approval.
734
00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:31,414
Nice.
735
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:34,351
Ms. Schott, the office for the
First Lady's Press Secretary
736
00:37:34,353 --> 00:37:35,352
would be over here.
737
00:37:35,354 --> 00:37:36,653
Great. Thanks.
738
00:37:36,655 --> 00:37:38,355
Ms. Moss,
if you'll follow me.
739
00:37:44,762 --> 00:37:46,329
We're hoping this will
meet with your approval.
740
00:37:46,331 --> 00:37:47,964
Oh, it's lovely.
741
00:37:47,966 --> 00:37:50,200
I'm sure the First Lady
will be very happy here.
742
00:37:50,202 --> 00:37:51,534
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
743
00:37:51,536 --> 00:37:53,703
The First Lady's
office is next door.
744
00:37:53,705 --> 00:37:57,440
As her Chief of Staff,
this would be your office.
745
00:37:57,442 --> 00:37:59,542
Yes. This will be fine.
746
00:38:51,362 --> 00:38:53,863
Shall we get started
with the Joint Chiefs, sir?
747
00:38:53,865 --> 00:38:55,065
Yes, thank you.
748
00:39:30,835 --> 00:39:33,269
Excuse me.
749
00:39:33,271 --> 00:39:34,404
Excuse me.
750
00:39:34,406 --> 00:39:35,372
Do you work
in there?
751
00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:36,806
I'm sorry, what?
752
00:39:36,808 --> 00:39:37,974
We thought we saw you
come out the gate.
753
00:39:37,976 --> 00:39:39,743
You work at the
White House?
754
00:39:39,745 --> 00:39:42,379
No.
755
00:39:42,381 --> 00:39:44,280
No, I'm sorry, I don't.
756
00:39:44,282 --> 00:39:46,616
Must be
something, huh?
757
00:39:46,618 --> 00:39:48,485
Yeah, something.
758
00:40:08,706 --> 00:40:10,507
SANTOS:
General, Admirals,
I'm sure we'll talk about this
759
00:40:10,509 --> 00:40:13,343
more in detail tomorrow,
but I do appreciate your candor.
760
00:40:18,449 --> 00:40:20,817
They want 10,000 more troops
in Kazakhstan
761
00:40:20,819 --> 00:40:23,787
on the ground
for logistical support.
762
00:40:23,789 --> 00:40:25,321
Public opinion is
already divided
763
00:40:25,323 --> 00:40:26,589
over our mission
in Central Asia.
764
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:28,124
Do you really
want to be putting
765
00:40:28,126 --> 00:40:29,659
more troops on the ground
in your first week?
766
00:40:29,661 --> 00:40:31,327
We may not have a choice.
767
00:40:33,798 --> 00:40:34,864
What?
768
00:40:34,866 --> 00:40:36,166
You look good back there.
769
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:38,301
RONNA:
Excuse me, sir.
770
00:40:38,303 --> 00:40:39,702
It's almost 6:00.
771
00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:41,438
The First Lady called to
remind you to head back
772
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,972
to the residence to change
for the Inaugural Balls.
773
00:40:42,974 --> 00:40:44,140
Tell her I'll be there
in 15 minutes.
774
00:40:45,142 --> 00:40:46,509
Thank you, Mr. President.
775
00:40:46,511 --> 00:40:47,777
BRAM:
Thank you,
Mr. President.
776
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:52,816
What's next?
777
00:40:54,318 --> 00:40:58,354
Sir, the Senate Democrats
want you to move fast
778
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:00,156
on the education bill.
779
00:41:00,158 --> 00:41:02,459
Then we can move on
to the tough stuff--
780
00:41:02,461 --> 00:41:04,961
immigration, energy policy...
781
00:41:09,767 --> 00:41:13,369
BARTLET:
Come in.
782
00:41:13,371 --> 00:41:15,205
We'll be landing in New
Hampshire in 20 minutes, sir.
783
00:41:15,207 --> 00:41:16,339
Thank you.
784
00:42:12,062 --> 00:42:13,630
What are you
thinking about?
785
00:42:18,302 --> 00:42:19,969
Tomorrow.
