00:00:34,409 --> 00:00:36,786
 In all the decisions I have made 
           in my public life,        

2
00:00:37,662 --> 00:00:40,498
       I have always tried to do     
     what was best for the nation.   

3
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:45,045
     In the past few days, however, 
      it has become evident to me    

4
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,798
         that I no longer have       
     a strong enough political base 

5
00:00:49,507 --> 00:00:53,803
       in the Congress to justify    
        continuing that effort.      

6
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:58,433
       Therefore, I shall resign     
             the presidency          

7
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,393
      effective at noon tomorrow.    

8
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:05,732
          Vice President Ford        
     will be sworn in as president   

9
00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:08,777
      at that hour in this office.   

10
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,280
              As I recall            
       the high hopes for America    

11
00:01:13,114 --> 00:01:15,241
          with which we began        
           this second term,         

12
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,327
         I feel a great sadness      

13
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:21,456
        that I will not be here      
      in this office working on...   

14
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,084
            [voice fades]           

15
00:01:26,795 --> 00:01:28,338
   [commentator]   Mr. and Mrs. Ford 
         have joined the Nixons      

16
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:33,510
     as they make the last walk out 
      to Army One, the helicopter.   

17
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:34,761
          Congratulations.          

18
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,388
 -Congratulations or condolences? 
         -[Richard chuckles]        

19
00:01:38,306 --> 00:01:41,142
     [Richard] She's all yours.     
              Be safe.              

20
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,480
     [commentator]   There is the     
       President waving goodbye.     

21
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,398
       Can you hear the applause?

        going over the fountains     

23
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:56,157
     of the White House south lawn. 

24
00:01:56,950 --> 00:02:00,245
     [Gerald]   I am acutely aware    
      that you have not elected me   

25
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:03,706
          as your president         
          by your ballots,          

26
00:02:04,415 --> 00:02:09,170
    so I ask you to confirm me as   
           your president           

27
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:11,214
         with your prayers.         

28
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,426
    I have not campaigned either    
         for the presidency         

29
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:16,719
       or the vice presidency.      

30
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:22,350
       I am indebted to no man      
       and only to one woman,       

31
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:24,477
           my dear wife...          

32
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:26,980
     [camera shutters clicking]     

33
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:30,275
            ...as I begin           
      this very difficult job.      

34
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:36,197
          I have not sought         
    this enormous responsibility,   

35
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:39,200
      but I will not shirk it.      

36
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,453
        This land is your land        

37
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,333
         This land is my land         

38
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:53,173
            From California           

39
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:58,344
      Well to the New York Island    

40
00:02:59,345 --> 00:03:02,891
        From the Redwood Forest       

41
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:08,396
       To the Gulf Stream Waters      

42
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:13,234
         I tell you this land         

43
00:03:13,818 --> 00:03:17,488
        Was made for you and me       

44
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:19,199
                 Yeah                 

45
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:23,244
                  Mmm                 

46
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:27,957
       One bright sunny morning       

47
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:32,545
           Well, in the shadow       
             of a steeple             

48
00:03:33,421 --> 00:03:37,842
      Down by the welfare office      

49
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:42,305
            I saw my people           

50
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:47,310
     I was wondering if this land    

51
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:53,274
        Was made for you and me       

52

54
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:03,618
      Come on! One, two. Push!

       Come on. Push through.       
             Five more.             

57
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:10,583
   Hard as you can. You got this.   

58
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,460
        Don't stop. Come on.        

59
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:15,129
          Come on. Come on.         

60
00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:16,798
             Four! Five!            

61
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:18,049
           [both grunting]          

62
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,969
       Senator Hillary Clinton      
      has opened up a huge lead     

63
00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:22,345
   over her democratic challengers 

64
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:24,597
         according to a new         
     Washington Post ABC News   poll. 

65
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:27,308
       Senator Hillary Clinton      
   is still the Democrat to beat.   

66
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:31,145
 The poll shows support for both   
     Barack Obama and John Edwards   

67
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:32,647
            is dropping off.         

68
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:45,159
    [sighs] Can't say I've taken    
             that route.            

69
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,537
   [bodyguard] Safest way, ma'am.   

70
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:49,289
          [Michelle] Great.         

71
00:04:50,498 --> 00:04:52,333
      [Barack] I know. Packed.      

72
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,337
 Mmm. And you're finally on time. 

73
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:58,756
           Well, you know,          
       I didn't wanna miss out      

74
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:00,633
       on some one-on-one time      
              with you.             

75
00:05:01,592 --> 00:05:04,053
   [chuckles] Yeah, we can't miss   
      our date night tradition,     

76
00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:06,806
       even if we have to shut      
        the whole place down.       

77
00:05:07,432 --> 00:05:08,599
        -Oh, yeah. Thank you.       
             -Thank you.            

78
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:10,893
      You may not have to worry     
        about it much longer.       

79
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,981
   I-- I'm still trailing Hillary   
          by double digits.         

80
00:05:15,606 --> 00:05:19,360
   Yeah, well, she seems to really 
              want it.              

81
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:24,324
     Yeah, she's whopping my ass    
          in every debate.          

82
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:25,992
               Sorry.               

83
00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:31,998
    You know, my-- my team thinks   
             that I have            

84
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:34,292
       -a relatability issue.       
              -Mm-hmm.              

85
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:39,172
      But they've got this idea     
     on how to ameliorate that.     

86
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,966
          Is it to stop you         
      from casually using words     

87
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:44,844
          like relatability         
           and ameliorate?          

88
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:47,722
         Actually, it's you.        

89
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,266
              -[laughs]             
          -All right. Look,

00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:53,936
     -No, you are, and you're--     
                -Ugh.               

92
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,273
 You're brilliant and relatable-- 

93
00:05:57,899 --> 00:05:59,192
            I don't know,           
     it's the best word for it.     

94
00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:02,904
   You are relatable and certainly 
        more relatable than--       

95
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:05,073
            I don't know,           
      some half-Kenyan brother      

96
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:06,908
   from fucking Hawaii, you know?   

97
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:10,536
        Okay, then what does        
         all of this entail?        

98
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:13,373
               Well...

    -No, no, listen. But we'll--    
             -Barack...             

101
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,421
   We'll work the schedule around   
 the kids. It'll be family first. 

102
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:22,215
       I don't know, you know?      

103
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:24,384
      And you know I don't love     
          public speaking.          

104
00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:28,679
              I get it,             
   but you're an amazing speaker.   

105
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:31,557
        And it'd be a chance        

106
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,852
       for us to work together      
             as a team.             

107
00:06:36,437 --> 00:06:37,897
           And I miss you.          

108
00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:41,401
            There you go            
      with that sweet talking.      

109
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:46,406
      So you'll think about it?     

110
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:49,617
        I'll think about it.        

111
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:51,244
             All right.

             -Thank you.

     After you give me dessert,     
        I'll think about it.        

115

   -Oh, you're gonna get dessert.   
               -Yeah.

   to take this journey with him.

            a better land

             that we give             

127
00:07:34,078 --> 00:07:38,583

      of even witnessing this.

      I am honored and excited      
             to be here.            

142
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:19,165
    This has been an amazing year   
               for us.              

143
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:22,210
      Just think where we were      
            one year ago.           

144
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:27,131
    Barack was standing in front    
 of the State Capitol in Illinois 

145
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,551
   to announce that he was running 
           for president.           

146
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:37,767
        What we have learned        
           over this year           

147
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:40,937
            is that hope            
        is making a comeback.       

148
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:42,355
   And let me tell you something,   

149
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:46,943

        in my adult lifetime,       

150
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:49,362
 I am really proud of my country.

153
00:09:00,706 --> 00:09:02,750
        Thank you! Thank you!       

154

      I know darn well that we can   
       Work it out, work it out

         [phones vibrating]

       -   I know that we can         

157
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,180
      I know darn well that we can   
       Work it out, work it out       

158
00:09:16,847 --> 00:09:18,558
          There's so many needy      
             So many poor             

159
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:22,603

        Is the key to the door

               -Sorry.

00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:35,950
   They-- They twisted your words. 

166
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:38,202
       -[Michelle] What? What?      
   -[Mel] They twisted your words. 

167
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:42,290
      "I'm proud of my country      
        for the first time."        

168
00:09:43,791 --> 00:09:47,628
                Shit.               
     "I never loved my country."    

169
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:49,213
               Right.               

170
00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:50,756
               -Okay.               
    -Come on. Let's keep moving.

          Now that her husband       

172
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:54,176
           is the Democrats'         
          presumptive nominee,       

173
00:09:54,802 --> 00:09:56,596
       Michelle Obama is expected    
             to come under           

174
00:09:57,221 --> 00:09:58,764
         ever greater scrutiny       
            from the media.          

175
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,309
    She's always angry every time   
       she gets on television.      

176
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,271
     I think the American people    
   deserve a thorough examination   

177
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:06,397
      of everything about her.

        I wanna walk my girls       
          to school today.          

182

00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,439
    [reporter 1] Michelle, do you   
 have any terrorist affiliations? 

187
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:50,441
         Do you hate America        
            or Americans?           

188
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:53,152
    [reporter 3] Why are you not    
      proud to be an American?

        [reporters clamoring]       

190
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,739
    What do you think about your    
     father running for office?     

191
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,241
         How is the campaign        
 impacting your children's lives? 

192
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:01,327
     [reporter 4] Just one more     
         question. Did any--

             [clamoring]            

194

 bringing my girls into all this. 

196
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,133
   That's what we're not gonna do. 

197
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:19,679
        But I will say this.        

198
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:23,641
        I am genuinely proud        
        of all the excitement       

199
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:26,936

        all working together.

       Now, if you don't mind,      

204
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:44,870
     I'm gonna walk my daughters    
             to school.             

205

         to the White House.

   Yes, I think I'm going to take   
            the long way.

214

       Mrs. Roosevelt, ma'am,       

215
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:39,800
    I must insist you get in the    
   car. It's for your own safety.   

216
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:43,637
      No one wants to hurt me.      
      I'm not important enough.     

217
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:45,347
     [Malvina] Oh, I don't know,    
               Mrs. R.              

218
00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:48,809
          I might hurt you          
    if you keep it up like this.    

219
00:12:52,813 --> 00:12:56,817
      Oh. Oh, that's wonderful.

   handshake. What work do you do? 

228
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,964
 I don't do any work. I'm busted.

        What work did you do?       

231
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:27,515
       [John] I forged steel.       
   Built skyscrapers in New York.   

232
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,227
            [Eleanor] Oh,           
       what a wonderful skill.      

233
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,354
        You must be so proud.       

234
00:13:34,355 --> 00:13:37,817
   Well, you're a part of history, 
                John.               

235
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,194
    Such a pleasure to meet you.    

236
00:13:41,278 --> 00:13:42,154
        And you, all of you.        

237
00:13:43,113 --> 00:13:44,615
   -Thank you so much. Thank you.   
         -Thank you, ma'am.         

238
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:46,575
              [Eleanor]             
       Oh, I do like your hat.      

239
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:49,870
       -Oh, that's very nice.       
      -[man] Thank you though!      

240
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:52,832
             [chuckles]             

241
00:13:59,463 --> 00:14:00,673
        -[Lou] There you are.       
        -[Eleanor] So sorry.        

242
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:02,716
    I feared you weren't coming.    

243
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:05,803
        Well, it's a pleasure       
        to see you, Eleanor.        

244
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:08,722
          And you too, Lou.         
       Shall we make a start?       

245
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,225
       I thought we'd have tea      
        and a light breakfast       

246
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:12,601
     before I give you the tour.    

247
00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:16,063
 Of course. That would be lovely. 

248
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,989
       I'm sure you're excited      
 to begin the decorating process. 

249
00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:28,576
              Oh, yes.              
    Mrs. Roosevelt certainly is.    

250
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,912
         You can't go wrong         
       with an oriental silk.       

251
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,498
   No, you most certainly cannot.   

252
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:35,583
         [whispering] Sorry.        

253
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:39,086
   And this is the master bedroom. 

254
00:14:43,173 --> 00:14:45,885
        That door over there        
       is your dressing room.       

255
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:47,261
       I used it as my study,       

256
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:51,891
      but they always called it     
    the dressing room regardless.   

257
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:56,061
         The Wilsons used it        
      as a private dining room.     

258
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:07,281
           What on Earth?           

259
00:15:18,125 --> 00:15:21,170
           Nine presidents          
     brought their slaves here.     

260
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:23,339
           I never knew...          

261
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:27,343
     It wasn't recorded how many    
    of them required their slaves   

262
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:30,596
           to have access           
         to their bedrooms.         

263
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:41,273
    [Eleanor] Well, I hope you're   
           making me sound          

264
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,442
    interesting and intelligent.    

265
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:47,321
   -And possibly even fascinating. 
                -Oh!                

266
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:49,657
         I'll do what I can.        

267
00:15:52,743 --> 00:15:53,577
       Can I ask you something      

268
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:56,455
         -Of course. Always.        
          -off the record?          

269
00:15:57,581 --> 00:16:02,294
       How do you really feel       
       about being First Lady?      

270
00:16:03,587 --> 00:16:05,005
                 Oh.                

271
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,092
               Well...              

272
00:16:09,301 --> 00:16:11,720
   I'm not thrilled about the fact 

273
00:16:12,429 --> 00:16:17,226
   that my title refers to my sex   
       rather than my skills.       

274
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:19,061
               -Yeah.               
                -Mmm.               

275
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:23,315
    Does sound like a crude term    
 a man might use for his ex-wife. 

276
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:25,776
             [chuckles]             

277
00:16:27,027 --> 00:16:29,780
     And it's recently been made    
          very clear to me          

278
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:34,743
       that I'm to smile, nod,      
   and gaze adoringly at Franklin   

279
00:16:35,452 --> 00:16:38,414
     every time we happen to be     
     in the same room together.     

280
00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,416
               Mmm...               

281
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,501
   Well, what does that look like? 

282
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,462
             Oh. Well...            

283
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:49,299
       [laughs] That's awful.       

284
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:56,181
    Oh, that's my daughter Anna.    

285
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:59,059
       She's just gone through      
             a divorce.             

286
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,478
           Off the record.          

287
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:03,689
    It was the right thing to do,   

288
00:17:04,231 --> 00:17:07,693
         but her grandmother        
           is apoplectic.           

289
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:11,363
       So, she's a Progressive      
              like you?             

290
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:15,075
       Yes, I suppose she is.       

291
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,037
            Good for her.           

292
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:20,748
       Well, thank you, Hick.       

293
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:25,335
   [sighs] Always. Now get to it.   

294
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:31,592
            [Anna] Hello!           

295
00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:34,011
    -Hello, darling. How are you?   
             -I'm good.             

296
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:36,180
        Sis, come say hello.        

297
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:38,891
   Little Anna. [blows raspberry]   

298
00:17:39,391 --> 00:17:40,642
    Oh, Louis. [blows raspberry]    

299
00:17:41,101 --> 00:17:42,269
         Look who's growing.        

300
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:43,812
   How is the speech coming along? 

301
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:45,439
      The President would like      
           your thoughts.           

302
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:48,317
    Well, Sis and I are going to    
   grab sundaes at the restaurant. 

303
00:17:49,234 --> 00:17:52,863
   We were wondering if you could   
   come but seems like a busy one. 

304
00:17:53,363 --> 00:17:54,281
        Oh, it's a busy one.        

305
00:17:55,115 --> 00:17:56,366
 Well, you'll have to get a scoop 
               on me.               

306
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:58,577
       All right, more for us.      
        Let's go, chickadee.        

307
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:01,413
             -Have fun.             
             -Bye. Bye.             

308
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,125
      He asked for me himself?      

309
00:18:05,542 --> 00:18:06,752
               Almost.              

310
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:09,588
             All right.             

311
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:25,145
            [door opens]            

312
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,566
            [door closes]           

313
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:32,152
           Hello, Missus.           

314
00:18:36,406 --> 00:18:38,826
       Have you been calling?       
       I was out for meetings.      

315
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:41,495
    No, no. I've been wrapped up.   

316
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:45,165
      What do you have so far?      

317
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:48,669
          A slippery fish.          

318
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:51,255
           Mm-mmm. May I?           

319
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:53,841
       No, it's not ready yet.      

320
00:18:56,343 --> 00:18:58,887
 Is it true that I am not to have 

321
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:01,682
            a proper job            
       in your administration?      

322
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:03,600
       Will you stop listening      
              to Louis?             

323
00:19:04,184 --> 00:19:06,270
    Well, give me something else    
              to hear.              

324
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,646
                Fine.               

325
00:19:11,358 --> 00:19:13,318
   I am not entirely comfortable.   

326
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,654
       Nobody else is getting       
          two appointments.         

327
00:19:16,196 --> 00:19:18,866
           I'm not asking           
        for two appointments.       

328
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:23,912
        I'll think about it.        

329
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:25,873
    Don't push me off, Franklin.    

330
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:30,377
           I am your wife,          
    not one of your girlfriends.    

331
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:37,926
         And I need to work.        

332
00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:39,386
           -You know that.          
            -[door opens]           

333
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,680
       You have made yourself       
          abundantly clear.         

334
00:19:42,306 --> 00:19:45,184
           -You will work.          
        -[people chattering]        

335
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:46,560
       [Franklin] What is it?       

336
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:50,898
    Sir, if you're not busy, we'd   
   better get back to the speech.   

337
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:54,109
       Not busy at all, boys.       
   Come on. Let's get back to it.   

338
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:57,738
    Let's start with this wording   
             right here.            

339
00:19:58,405 --> 00:19:59,990
            "Attempts by            
     the previous administration    

340
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:02,826
         were lost on tired         
         and old tradition,         

341
00:20:03,243 --> 00:20:04,036
        leaving you fearful."       

342
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,205
    Now, I like the idea of that,   
           the sentiment,           

343
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,081
       but it's lacking punch.      

344
00:20:08,582 --> 00:20:10,709
   It-- It feels passive this way. 

345
00:20:29,436 --> 00:20:33,607
      [clicks tongue, exhales]      
              Oh, yeah.             

346
00:20:41,531 --> 00:20:43,909
        Could someone please        
       come collect something       

347
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:46,954
             and take it            
       to the president-elect?      

348
00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:55,754
         "Nothing is so much        
           to be feared...          

349
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,590
              as fear".             

350
00:21:03,303 --> 00:21:04,304
          [crowd cheering]          

351
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,725
       [Franklin] I am certain      
   that my fellow Americans expect 

352
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,018
        that on my induction,       

353
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,021
    this is preeminently the time   
         to speak the truth.        

354
00:21:13,605 --> 00:21:16,817
          The whole truth,          
         frankly and boldly.        

355
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,402
         Nor need we shrink         

356
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:23,240
   from honestly facing conditions 
        in our country today.       

357
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:27,911
    This great nation will endure   
         as it has endured.         

358
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:31,581
   We'll revive and we'll prosper. 

359
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,293
        [applause, cheering]        

360
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,010
          So, first of all,         

361
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:46,138
    let me assert my firm belief    

362
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:50,934
     that the only thing we have    
       to fear is fear itself.      

363
00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:54,813
        -[applause, cheering]       
              -Oh, yes.             

364
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:01,403
        May God protect each        
        and every one of you        

365
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:04,156
 and guide me in the coming days. 

366
00:22:04,531 --> 00:22:05,032
             Thank you.             

367
00:22:05,615 --> 00:22:07,784
        -[applause, cheering]       
               -Come.               

368
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:13,790
         Oh, that was a very        
     powerful speech, wasn't it?    

369
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,208
     Mmm, yes, it was brilliant.    

370
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:20,088
     Yes, Franklin always knows     
    just the right thing to say.    

371
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:22,049
     It's one of his many gifts.    

372
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:24,092
     One of the great pleasures     
             of marriage            

373
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:27,387
     is savoring your husband's     
           finest moments.          

374
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:30,098
    Second only to savoring that    
            of your sons.           

375
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:31,850
        [Franklin] Thank you!       

376
00:22:32,809 --> 00:22:34,061
                Yes.                

377
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:38,899
   [Eleanor] I don't believe I've   
             ever smiled            

378
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:41,735
     for so many hours in a row.    

379
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:43,653
   [music plays on record player]   

380

              [groans]              

381
00:22:45,405 --> 00:22:48,950
       I do think they should       
           issue warnings.

       may cause frozen face.

           [both chuckle]           

384
00:22:55,665 --> 00:22:58,752
      Is it stuck? Am I doomed      
       to be a grinning fool?       

385
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:03,423
     You are the farthest thing     
   from a fool I have ever known.   

386
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:08,929
    I think your speech went over   
        very well, Franklin.        

387
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:11,765
           -Thanks to you.          
        -Oh, don't be silly.        

388
00:23:13,725 --> 00:23:18,397
       You really are so good       
    at conveying hope, you know.    

389
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:22,234
       You think you've always      
           been that way?           

390
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:26,905
   My mother says even as a child   
     I had a soothing presence.     

391
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:28,365
     Oh, soothing is one thing.     

392
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:33,328
    It's quite another to lead a    
 country out of its darkest hour. 

393
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:37,124
     Well, you were instrumental    
   in helping crafting my message. 

394
00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:39,751
      So I'm grateful for you.      

395
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,921
        We make a good team.        

396
00:23:45,757 --> 00:23:46,925
             Yes, we do.            

397
00:23:50,137 --> 00:23:51,638
        Should we go to bed?        

398
00:23:52,973 --> 00:23:57,769
   Oh, I cannot think of anything   
        I'd like to do more.        

399
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:04,568
       -Good night, Franklin.       
             -[chuckles]            

400
00:24:05,485 --> 00:24:07,946
      [chuckles] Sweet dreams.      

401
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:13,785
       Congratulations! You so      
        deserve it. [giggles]       

402
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:15,912
            Here we are!            

403
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,665
      Yes. Here we are indeed.      

404
00:24:19,499 --> 00:24:20,208
        [Eleanor] Oh! Hello.        
          What's your name?         

405
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:23,003
              -Charles.             
       -Charles, I'm Eleanor.       

406
00:24:23,670 --> 00:24:25,881
     I'll be seeing quite a lot     
           of you I think.          

407
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:27,841
   [music plays on record player]   

408
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:31,553
   [Charles] More champagne, sir?   

409
00:24:32,971 --> 00:24:35,724
     I think we should move over    
     to the whiskey. Don't you?     

410
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:37,476
           Very well, sir.          

411
00:24:49,362 --> 00:24:51,531
   [distant police siren blaring]   

412
00:24:58,705 --> 00:25:00,874
         [blaring continues]        

413
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:13,220
      Bob, a lot has been written    
             about the fact          

414
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:15,639
       that president-elect Obama    
               is looking            

415
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,061
      into ways to reverse various   
     Bush administration policies.   

416
00:25:21,728 --> 00:25:23,522
            Is there danger          
       in doing that too quickly?    

417
00:25:24,147 --> 00:25:25,732
          -They're asleep.          
     -[news reporters continue]     

418
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:30,153
       Oh. I don't wanna keep       
          missing bedtime.          

419
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,155
   -   ...these are things the, uh,   
          -[Michelle] Mmm.          

420
00:25:32,822 --> 00:25:35,200
        president has, uh, done      
          by executive order,        

421
00:25:35,825 --> 00:25:37,077
          and they can be, uh,       
             easily undone.          

422
00:25:37,744 --> 00:25:39,162
          I think that's some        
             of the first--          

423
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:40,705
              [clicks]              

424
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:45,377
     In four years, I don't want    
       to look back and think,      

425
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:49,839
         "What did I become         
       living in that house?"       

426
00:25:51,758 --> 00:25:55,428
           Well, you know,          
      in-- in eight years, uh,      

427
00:25:56,096 --> 00:26:00,016
   I think you are still gonna be   
         that bougie lawyer         

428
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,185
       with that Audi [laughs]      

429
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:05,897
      and that fucking attitude     
      that I fell in love with.     

430
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,275
           [both laughing]          

431
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:13,280
   -South Side forever! [chuckles] 
       -That's right. Mm-hmm.       

432
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:17,742
 Mmm. We need a road map, Barack. 

433
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:19,661
      I will not miss the girls     
             growing up.            

434
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:24,040
        Mmm, no. Me neither.        
      We won't let that happen.     

435
00:26:24,624 --> 00:26:26,710
              -Mm-hmm.              
     -All right? I promise you.     

436
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:28,044
                Mmm.                

437
00:26:28,628 --> 00:26:31,298
          You are gonna be          
         a dope First Lady.         

438
00:26:31,881 --> 00:26:35,135
     Michelle Obama née Robinson    

439
00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:38,054
      has never failed a test.      
              [laughs]              

440
00:26:38,638 --> 00:26:39,556
           -You're right.           
           -That's right.           

441
00:26:40,223 --> 00:26:42,642
         -I got this. [hums]        
    -Yeah, you do. Shake it girl!   

442
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:46,479
    What I don't got is all those   
    clothes you got on the floor,   

443
00:26:47,105 --> 00:26:49,983
            Barack Obama,           
    President of the United Sta--   

444
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:52,944
       -Pick up your clothes!       
   -I got it. I got it. I got you. 

445
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:54,195
               Mm-hmm.              

446
00:26:54,654 --> 00:26:55,572
           [Michelle] Mmm.          

447
00:26:56,114 --> 00:26:56,823
        [Barack] I got this.        

448
00:26:57,657 --> 00:26:59,159
    -[Michelle] Clothes all over.   
          -[Barack laughs]          

449
00:26:59,826 --> 00:27:00,535
    I should really have somebody   
             to help me             

450
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:02,537
     -tidy this thing up, right?    
          -[Michelle] Mmm.          

451
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:05,206
         I got nuclear codes        
           to think about.          

452
00:27:05,332 --> 00:27:06,833
                Mmm.                

453
00:27:14,924 --> 00:27:15,467
              You okay?             

454
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:18,428
     -How do we feel about Gwen?    
              -[laughs]             

455
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:21,181
         -Morning, Gwen. Hi.        
             -Hi, Gwen.             

456
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:24,017
        -[people chattering]        
         -Madam First Lady.         

457
00:27:24,267 --> 00:27:26,353
             [applause]             

458
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:29,397
   We're already behind schedule.   

459
00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:32,400
     I had to drop the girls off    
   for their first day at school.   

460
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:34,277
             [Gwen] Oh!             
       I thought Mrs. Robinson      

461
00:27:34,861 --> 00:27:35,570
         and Secret Service         
         were handling that.        

462
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:38,156
    My daughters are not a matter   
           to be handled.           

463
00:27:38,782 --> 00:27:40,325
           I had to ensure          
        that they settled in.       

464
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:41,493
             Of course.             

465
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:44,037
         So, we want to hit         
         the ground running.        

466
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:45,372
      And with Rahm's approval,     

467
00:27:46,122 --> 00:27:48,041
     my team and I have come up     
     with several ideas for you.    

468
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,377
        Rahm has approved...        

469
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:53,004
       Okay. Let me hear 'em.       

470
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:59,219
   He feels, and we all feel, that 
    a White House garden project    

471
00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:00,845
    could be a great opportunity    

472
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,848
    for people to see a new side    
               of you.

00:28:07,852 --> 00:28:10,397
    growing fruits and vegetables   
          with local kids.          

475
00:28:11,064 --> 00:28:12,607
          Great photo ops.          

476
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:13,525
          Good news, team.          

477
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:15,193
      The men in the West Wing      
            have given us           

478
00:28:15,735 --> 00:28:17,237
           the green light          
       to plant some carrots.

           [all chuckling]          

480
00:28:19,072 --> 00:28:20,365
          Uh, that's not--          
      that's not what I meant.      

481
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:23,201
           Um, all right.           
     This, uh, this is for you.     

482
00:28:25,161 --> 00:28:26,663
       Mrs. Ford won't be able      
     to attend the inauguration.    

483
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:30,208
          She's almost 90,          
   but she wanted to write to you. 

484
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,919
    Betty Ford wrote me a letter.   

485
00:28:33,336 --> 00:28:34,212
                Wow.                

486

              [exhales]             

487
00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:37,674
      [Gwen] We have a fitting      
     for your inauguration gown.    

488
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:41,720
         And this is great,         
      Vogue   has offered a feature    

489
00:28:42,345 --> 00:28:44,389
        with Annie Leibovitz        
         to shoot the cover.        

490
00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:45,682
           Amazing, right?          

491
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:50,103
     Sure. Excellent opportunity    
      to talk about rutabagas.      

492
00:28:50,437 --> 00:28:51,980
           [all chuckling]          

493
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:53,523
         What's a rutabaga?         

494
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:56,234
        -A turnip, I believe.       
     -[Michelle] Come on, Gwen.     

495
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:57,402
   I spoke throughout the campaign 

496
00:28:57,944 --> 00:28:58,903
          about civic duty,         
         unemployment and--         

497
00:28:59,863 --> 00:29:02,574
    And you were incredible. And    
    now we're in the White House.   

498
00:29:03,199 --> 00:29:05,201
            And the team            
    in the West Wing wanna shape    

499
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:06,494
          and help you grow         
         into your new role.        

500
00:29:07,203 --> 00:29:09,372
            I'm a lawyer            
    and an expert in health care.   

501
00:29:10,081 --> 00:29:11,624
         They wanna turn me         
    into a Black Martha Stewart?    

502
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:14,335
       I meant no disrespect,       
        but Rahm feels that--       

503
00:29:14,919 --> 00:29:16,546
    You know, I'm looking forward   

504
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:18,506
        to hearing all about        
          Rahm's feelings,          

505
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:19,924
    so why don't you let him know   

506
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:21,843
     that I would like some time    
              with him.             

507
00:29:22,469 --> 00:29:26,473
   -[Gwen chuckles] I'll do that.   
            -Okay. Okay.            

508
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:31,853
 We have a very important meeting 
 coming up next Tuesday that is-- 

509
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:33,480
          [Betty narrates]          
            Dear Mrs. Obama,         

510
00:29:34,105 --> 00:29:37,484
           you probably feel         
         so overwhelmed today.       

511
00:29:38,109 --> 00:29:41,279
 You can't imagine how unprepared 
                I felt.              

512
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,490
       But the job will find you.    

513
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:45,617
      It has a way of doing that.    

514
00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:48,453
         You are forever a part      
             of history now          

515
00:29:49,078 --> 00:29:51,581
           but will always be        
             one of a kind.          

516
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:54,709
      Today, you'll probably feel    
 like you have nothing in common   

517
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:58,588
       with all of the women who     
     were First Ladies before you.   

518
00:29:59,255 --> 00:30:02,634
          Trust me when I say        
         we all felt that way.       

519
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:04,928
   [Gerald] Gonna miss this place. 

520
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:15,230
 We'll have fun in our new house. 

521
00:30:15,438 --> 00:30:16,439
               Mm-hmm.              

522
00:30:17,023 --> 00:30:17,899
           Sleeping in our          
         separate bedrooms,         

523
00:30:18,525 --> 00:30:21,861
     like a proper presidential     
        husband and his wife.       

524
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:23,404
   [Gerald] That's not happening.   

525
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:24,697
           Better not be.           

526
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:27,408
      Though, after this week,      
       I might change my mind.      

527
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,285
           Don't you dare.          

528
00:30:31,454 --> 00:30:34,123
          You're gonna make         
       a terrific First Lady.       

529
00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:37,544
           [phone ringing]          

530
00:30:46,886 --> 00:30:48,680
   Ford residence. This is Betty.   

531
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:50,139
      [woman]   Madam First Lady?     

532
00:30:51,057 --> 00:30:55,311
    No, uh-- Y-Yes, yes. I mean,    
        that's me. [chuckles]       

533
00:30:56,187 --> 00:30:57,730
     My name is Debbie Winthrop.    

534
00:30:58,356 --> 00:31:00,900
         I was Mrs. Nixon's         
          social secretary.         

535
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:03,695
   Of course. Yes, I remember you. 

536
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:06,281
          We were wondering         
        what you wanted to do       

537
00:31:06,739 --> 00:31:08,575
   for the upcoming State Dinner.   

538
00:31:09,158 --> 00:31:09,909
              The what?             

539
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:14,998
     Uh, King Hussein of Jordan     
   is coming in four days, ma'am.   

540
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:20,587
            I see. I see.           

541
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:24,299
     And the idea is he'll want     
          something to eat          

542
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:26,885
 after that long trip. [chuckles] 

543
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,053
        And the queen, ma'am.       

544
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:32,056
             Of course.             

545
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,602
             Uh, well...            

546
00:31:37,061 --> 00:31:38,688
   I wish someone would've told me 
             about this.            

547
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:43,610
      We told Pat Nixon, ma'am.     
       The former First Lady.       

548
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:46,112
    Yes, I know who Pat Nixon is.   

549
00:31:46,529 --> 00:31:47,280
             Of course.             

550
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:48,531
    Let me give it some thought,    

551
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:52,160
      and I'll get back to you      
          as soon as I can.         

552
00:31:53,202 --> 00:31:54,746
                Okay.               
     Thank you very much, ma'am.    

553
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:57,790
    Okay. Thank you for calling.    

554
00:31:58,249 --> 00:31:59,292
          [Debbie]   Goodbye.         

555
00:32:02,295 --> 00:32:04,047
               [sighs]              

556
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:10,970
 I'll move into the White House.   

557
00:32:11,471 --> 00:32:13,389
        I'll do the best I can.      

558
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,519
       And if they don't like it,    
       then they can kick me out,    

559
00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:21,397
 but they can't make me somebody   
                I'm not.             

560
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:23,399
         [applause from TV]         

561
00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:27,737
       She's totally unsuited       
            for the role.           

562
00:32:28,321 --> 00:32:30,615
   Well, she seems very confident   
               to me.               

563
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:32,283
         That's the problem.        

564
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:34,243
   I don't wanna get into details, 
              but, um,              

565
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:36,788
      she's had her fair share      
       of personal struggles.       

566
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:38,414
   We all know the lights in here, 

567
00:32:39,332 --> 00:32:41,042
   they tend to flush that sort of 
   thing right out into the open,   

568
00:32:41,584 --> 00:32:42,669
    so that's where you come in.    

569
00:32:43,461 --> 00:32:47,298
 We want you to stay on. Keep the 
     East Wing running smoothly.    

570
00:32:47,757 --> 00:32:48,758
      Of course. That's my job.     

571
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:51,386
   [Donald] But we're counting on   
 you to guide the First Lady into 

572
00:32:52,303 --> 00:32:55,807
     taking a more reserved Pat-    
   Nixon-type approach to things.   

573
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,267
   Oh, show her the art of facade. 

574
00:32:58,643 --> 00:32:59,811
        Encourage discretion.       

575
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:03,773
    Have you met the First Lady?    
             [chuckles]             

576
00:33:04,482 --> 00:33:07,610
     You can start by limiting,     
        preferably canceling,       

577
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:09,487
         any upcoming events        
           and gatherings,          

578
00:33:10,029 --> 00:33:10,738
   starting with the State Dinner. 

579
00:33:11,364 --> 00:33:12,532
      Well, I already told her      
         that was happening.        

580
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:14,534
     We have a meeting about it,    
            uh, shortly.            

581
00:33:15,201 --> 00:33:17,662
      I know you can steer her      
         towards canceling.         

582
00:33:18,371 --> 00:33:19,163
           And if I can't?          

583
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:23,209
      We're confident. You can      
    convince her woman-to-woman.    

584
00:33:25,211 --> 00:33:29,674
        You know, Mrs. Ford's       
       good nature and candor       

585
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:32,719
       might be just the thing      
 the White House needs right now. 

586
00:33:33,302 --> 00:33:34,178
   She really seems quite capable. 

587
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,055
               Debbie.              
     I know that you understand     

588
00:33:36,639 --> 00:33:37,598
     how vitally important it is    

589
00:33:38,224 --> 00:33:39,892
   that this party hold the reigns 
          of this country.          

590
00:33:40,518 --> 00:33:41,477
       In less than two years,      
           the president's          

591
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:42,937
          gonna have to run         
           for his office.          

592
00:33:43,563 --> 00:33:46,024
         And so, the smaller        
      that Mrs. Ford's role is      

593
00:33:46,733 --> 00:33:50,319
      and the less that we hear     
   about her thoughts, opinions--   

594
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:53,364
      The less noise she makes.     

595
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:55,408
             Thank you.             

596
00:33:58,536 --> 00:33:59,871
     -[person] Madam First Lady.    
           -Good morning.           

597
00:34:00,496 --> 00:34:01,581
     Welcome to the White House,    
               ma'am.               

598
00:34:02,248 --> 00:34:03,166
         -Madam First Lady.         
     -Welcome Madam First Lady.     

599
00:34:04,083 --> 00:34:05,793
    Good morning, Donald. I'm so,   
     so sorry I'm late, Debbie.     

600
00:34:06,669 --> 00:34:08,880
   -I tend to run a little behind. 
 -Let me show you to your office. 

601
00:34:09,547 --> 00:34:12,675
       Donald, so nice of you       
    to greet me on my first day.    

602
00:34:13,259 --> 00:34:14,177
      -[reporter 1] Betty Ford.     
           -Good morning.           

603
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:15,762
       You don't have to speak      
             with them.             

604
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:16,929
 What's your first day been like? 

605
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:19,057
       Well, I don't know yet.      
          I just got here.          

606
00:34:19,682 --> 00:34:21,768
     But it's all very exciting,    
              isn't it?             

607
00:34:22,268 --> 00:34:23,019
      Just keep walking, ma'am.     

608
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:24,604
   What's your opinion on whether   
            your husband            

609
00:34:25,104 --> 00:34:25,813
    will pardon President Nixon?    

610
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:27,565
            "No comment."           
        "No comment" is fine.       

611
00:34:28,107 --> 00:34:30,860
         I know my husband,         
          or the president,         

612
00:34:31,277 --> 00:34:32,904
      is eager to move forward      

613
00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:34,739
    with his new administration,    

614
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:39,911
   and which I'm sure will be very 
      different from the last.      

615
00:34:40,411 --> 00:34:41,245
       Right this way, ma'am.       

616
00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:42,830
       Your office is through       
            these doors.            

617
00:34:43,289 --> 00:34:43,831
      [reporter 2] Mrs. Ford--      

618
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:45,166
   [reporter 1] One last question. 

619
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,460
           Do you'll know           
     if he'll pardon or convict?    

620
00:34:48,711 --> 00:34:53,091
     I'm confident the president    
      will do the right thing.      

621
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:54,967
      Now, if you'll excuse me.     

622
00:34:55,802 --> 00:34:57,637
   -Thanks, ladies and gentlemen.   
 -[reporter 3] One more question. 

623
00:34:58,262 --> 00:35:00,139
       [reporters] Thank you,       
      Mr. Rumsfeld. Thank you.      

624
00:35:05,311 --> 00:35:07,313
       -[Debbie] Here we are.       
        -[people chattering]        

625
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:10,399
           I do apologize           
     for the state of the room.     

626
00:35:11,275 --> 00:35:14,278
 Uh, we had to turn things around 
           rather quickly.          

627
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:15,571
                Yeah.               

628
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:19,325
        I suppose I have some       
    decorating to do. [chuckles]    

629
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:22,870
      Mm-hmm. Uh, this is your      
          schedule, ma'am.          

630
00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:23,871
                 Oh.                

631
00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:26,499
        I'll see you shortly        
       for the staff meeting.       

632
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:27,834
             Oh, Debbie.            

633
00:35:28,584 --> 00:35:29,961
        Um, could you tell me       
    where my husband's office is?   

634
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,797
         I'd love to stop in        
           and say hello.           

635
00:35:33,339 --> 00:35:34,632
          The president has         
       a full schedule today.       

636
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:37,844
         -Oh, I see. Well--         
      -Is there anything else?      

637
00:35:38,511 --> 00:35:40,346

             [chuckles]             

644
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:56,964
      Oh, I hope I didn't keep      
      you waiting too long. I--     

645
00:36:57,590 --> 00:37:00,092
   I'm still getting my bearing--   
          I'm so sorry. I--         

646
00:37:00,718 --> 00:37:03,554
       As I was telling Debbie      
           earlier, I'm--           

647
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:06,933
           -Anyway, hello.          
           -[staff] Hello.          

648
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,936
      Everyone, the First Lady      
        of the United States.       

649
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:12,438
             -[applause]            
          -[staff] Welcome.         

650
00:37:13,564 --> 00:37:14,649
    [staff member] So wonderful.    

651
00:37:14,941 --> 00:37:16,275
          [applause stops]          

652
00:37:18,694 --> 00:37:21,155
    [Debbie] I was just informing   
         the staff that, uh,        

653
00:37:21,864 --> 00:37:25,284
       because of the unusual       
       and last-minute nature       

654
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:26,619
     of you becoming First Lady,    

655
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:29,789
     we'd probably be canceling     
     the upcoming State Dinner.     

656
00:37:30,456 --> 00:37:32,792
                 Oh.                
   I don't think that's necessary. 

657
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:34,210
 Everyone completely understands. 

658
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:38,005
    Well, on the contrary, I love   
   a good dinner party. [chuckles] 

659
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:40,758
       The bigger the better.       
             [chuckles]             

660
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:45,012
       And if you'd like to do      
          what you've done          

661
00:37:45,888 --> 00:37:49,642
   for the Nixon's State Dinners,   
     that would be fine with me.    

662
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,687
      We don't really have time     

663
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,523
    to do what we've always done.   

664
00:37:55,898 --> 00:37:57,316
        Not with three days.        

665
00:37:57,900 --> 00:37:59,026
               I see.               

666
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:00,903
           [Debbie] Ma'am.          

667
00:38:01,404 --> 00:38:03,197
        If I may be so bold,        

668
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:06,117
        surely the president,       
          surely everyone,          

669
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:09,787
          would understand          
       if you had to postpone.      

670
00:38:10,830 --> 00:38:13,040
           Everyone knows           
      how this whole situation      

671
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:16,544
       has been sprung on you,      
         even King Hussein.         

672
00:38:16,919 --> 00:38:18,004
         Are you sure? It--         

673
00:38:18,629 --> 00:38:21,382
    It seems awfully last minute    
             to cancel.             

674
00:38:22,008 --> 00:38:25,303
             Not at all.            
   It's completely understandable. 

675
00:38:28,973 --> 00:38:34,520
             Well then,             
   I suppose that's what we'll do. 

676
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:51,370

00:39:11,557 --> 00:39:12,433
            -Oh, my gosh!           
                -Oh!                

680
00:39:13,059 --> 00:39:16,937
          Betty? I'm sorry.         
    Excuse me, Madam First Lady.    

681
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:17,980
               Nancy.               

682
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:20,066
         -Yeah. Nancy Howe.         
            -Nancy Howe!            

683
00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:23,110
     The last time I saw you was    
    at that dreadful PTA meeting.   

684
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,863
           And that woman           
         was talking about--        

685
00:39:26,489 --> 00:39:27,365
    -The history of education...    
              -[sighs]              

686
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:30,493
    -...in pre-colonial Virginia.   
   -I thought it would never end.

         Three hours seared         
           into my brain.           

688
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:35,539
             [chuckles]             

689
00:39:39,585 --> 00:39:41,504
        It's so nice to know        
            you're here.            

690
00:39:42,088 --> 00:39:45,800
    An actual person that I know    
              and like.             

691
00:39:46,092 --> 00:39:47,176
            [Nancy] Yeah.           

692
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:48,594
                Hmm?                

693
00:39:49,428 --> 00:39:51,514
     Take it. It's on the house.    

694
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:53,099
             Thank you.             

695
00:39:53,933 --> 00:39:56,894
    Hey, how's it going? Are the    
     aides overwhelming you yet?    

696
00:39:58,771 --> 00:39:59,730
              Not yet.              

697
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:01,107
             [chuckles]             

698
00:40:01,774 --> 00:40:02,650
        And thanks for this.        

699
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,527
         Don't tell anyone.         

700
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:06,737
                 Oh.                

701
00:40:07,696 --> 00:40:11,867
      Uh, do you by chance know     
    how I get back to my office?    

702
00:40:12,868 --> 00:40:14,120
                I do.               

703
00:40:14,912 --> 00:40:15,663
        [Betty] Mm-hmm, yeah.       

704
00:40:16,539 --> 00:40:21,043
   It's hard to believe that just   
              last week             

705
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:22,795
       this was Pat's office,       

706
00:40:23,129 --> 00:40:24,213
          and now she's...          

707
00:40:24,797 --> 00:40:27,133
      Helping her husband pack      
             for prison.            

708
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:33,389
 It does seem likely, doesn't it? 

709
00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:36,976
     He said he wasn't a crook,     
      turns out he is a crook.      

710
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:38,811
         Crooks go to jail.         

711
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:44,150
   So what's the first First Lady   
     thing they have you doing?     

712
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:48,487
   Well, there was a State Dinner, 
        but I'm canceling it.       

713
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,072
        What? No, you're not.       

714
00:40:50,656 --> 00:40:52,992
 It was supposed to be three days 
              from now              

715
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:56,162
   and, well, my secretary said it 
              was fine.             

716
00:40:56,787 --> 00:41:00,291
         No, no, no, no, no.        
      You can't do that, Betty.     

717
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:03,961
         No, it was actually        
     my secretary's idea, so...     

718
00:41:04,587 --> 00:41:05,671
    Well, I don't care whose idea   
               it was.              

719
00:41:06,505 --> 00:41:08,299
         This is your house.        
         You get to decide.         

720
00:41:08,924 --> 00:41:11,260
          You really think          
      one State Dinner matters?     

721
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:14,430
    Let's see, did the Roosevelts   
           showing support          

722
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:17,057
          for every exiled          
         European government        

723
00:41:17,683 --> 00:41:20,019
      after the Nazis took over     
       their homeland matter?       

724
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:22,104
      How about the Eisenhowers     
           breaking bread           

725
00:41:22,521 --> 00:41:23,481
        with the Khrushchevs?       

726
00:41:24,190 --> 00:41:27,234
    The Nixons and the Brezhnevs    
   may be the only cordial moment   

727
00:41:27,818 --> 00:41:29,278
 of this whole Cold War we're in. 

728
00:41:29,695 --> 00:41:32,364
        And maybe I'm biased        

729
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:34,575
         because I spout out        
         White House trivia         

730
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:36,285
   in that gift shop all day long, 

731
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:39,538
       but it seems to me like      
        these are the moments       

732
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:41,916
    that really, truly mattered.    

733
00:41:42,875 --> 00:41:46,212
     And they were State Dinners    
   that First Ladies made happen.   

734
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:50,716
     You just-- You-- You can't     
   cancel your first State Dinner. 

735
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:54,720
         This is your chance        
      to start making history.      

736
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:00,726
    -You wanted to see me, ma'am?   
    -[Betty] Oh! Yes, thank you.    

737
00:42:01,018 --> 00:42:02,228
           Please come in.          

738
00:42:07,733 --> 00:42:09,860
           How do you like          
   what I've done with the place?   

739
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:14,031
                 Um.                

740
00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:15,950
        It's a joke, Debbie.        

741
00:42:16,909 --> 00:42:17,952
             -[chuckles]            
      -About the State Dinner,      

742
00:42:18,911 --> 00:42:21,872
    you'll be happy to know that    
     I've decided not to cancel.    

743
00:42:23,999 --> 00:42:26,043
               -What?               
      -I've come up with a plan     

744
00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:29,088
        I think you'll agree        
           is very doable.          

745
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:31,340
          Marrying some of          
       Mrs. Nixon's traditions      

746
00:42:32,049 --> 00:42:37,263
        with my less formal,        
     but no less festive, ideas.    

747
00:42:41,058 --> 00:42:44,061
           Oh... barbecue.          

748
00:42:44,603 --> 00:42:46,772
             [chuckling]            
       Doesn't that sound fun?      

749
00:42:47,690 --> 00:42:49,733
    Be sure to let everyone know    

750
00:42:50,276 --> 00:42:52,236
            the president           
        is counting on this.        

751
00:42:52,861 --> 00:42:55,281
       He's even more excited       
             than I am.             

752
00:42:57,616 --> 00:42:58,951
         Thank you, Debbie.         

753
00:43:01,245 --> 00:43:02,788
          Thank you, ma'am.         

754
00:43:10,296 --> 00:43:12,131
    [John Roberts]   Good morning.    
       Thanks for being with us.     

755
00:43:12,631 --> 00:43:13,299
      Monday, the 12th of January.   

756
00:43:13,924 --> 00:43:14,800
        Just eight days until       
          the inauguration,         

757
00:43:15,634 --> 00:43:16,302
       the new administration,      
           new president.           

758
00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:17,803
      Everybody's trying to get     
           an angle here.           

759
00:43:18,637 --> 00:43:20,598
             Absolutely.            
    A lot going on this morning.    

760
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:25,352
    -Can I get you anything else?   
                -No.                

761
00:43:25,936 --> 00:43:27,771
       -We're fine, thank you.      
               -Okay.               

762
00:43:30,232 --> 00:43:31,400
            -Too bridal?            
                -No.                

763
00:43:32,276 --> 00:43:34,069
    No. I see "hope" and "glory."   

764
00:43:34,653 --> 00:43:35,696
        -I see "elegance..."        
             -[chuckles]            

765
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,364
   ..."timeless" and "victorious." 

766
00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:40,618
             [chuckles]             
       Oh, Jason is a genius,       

767
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,287
       and you look exquisite.      

768
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:44,955
          -I love you, Mel.         
             -[knocking]            

769
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:47,666
      I love you too. Come in.      

770
00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:50,085
             [both gasp]            

771
00:43:50,669 --> 00:43:53,005
       -Valerie, you're here.       
             -[chuckles]            

772
00:43:53,672 --> 00:43:54,340
         Girl, that dress...        

773
00:43:54,965 --> 00:43:56,300
   -[stylist] Careful, Mrs. Obama. 
               -Okay.               

774
00:43:56,967 --> 00:43:59,303
         -[Valerie chuckles]        
          -[Michelle moans]         

775
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:02,973
             -Hmm? Hmm?             
                -Wow.               

776
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:05,476
      Can we talk for a minute?     

777
00:44:06,101 --> 00:44:07,227
        Could you all give us       
           a few minutes?           

778
00:44:07,936 --> 00:44:10,147
         -[Mel] Yeah, sure.         
     -I promise I'll be careful.    

779
00:44:11,148 --> 00:44:13,692
       Thanks, ladies. [sighs]      

780
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,990
          [both chuckling]          

781
00:44:20,866 --> 00:44:22,868
           -So beautiful.           
                -Oh.                

782
00:44:23,702 --> 00:44:25,496
   But that's not why you're here. 

783
00:44:25,996 --> 00:44:27,956
    Rahm thought we should talk.    

784
00:44:28,957 --> 00:44:31,168
       Rahm wants. Rahm feels.      
            Rahm thought.           

785
00:44:31,669 --> 00:44:32,544
      He just simply suggested      

786
00:44:33,337 --> 00:44:35,714
    that I be the liaison between   
     the East Wing and the West.    

787
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:38,550
     Great. So how do I get Rahm    
            to understand           

788
00:44:39,176 --> 00:44:40,636
          that I'm not here         
     to be a glorified hostess?     

789
00:44:41,345 --> 00:44:45,182
    Michelle, we want to ease you   
         into complex areas.        

790
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:47,101
             Val? Hello?            

791
00:44:47,518 --> 00:44:48,602
               -Hello?              
             -[chuckles]            

792
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:50,229
      You sound just like them      
             right now.             

793
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:52,439
            -Michelle...            
     -Fashion shoots? Gardening?    

794
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,274
   You want me to be roasted alive 

795
00:44:54,817 --> 00:44:57,152
          as being elitist          
          and out of touch?         

796
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:01,156
     Valerie. You're my friend.     

797
00:45:01,907 --> 00:45:03,117
       You know what I can do.      

798
00:45:03,575 --> 00:45:05,202
     It's complicated right now.    

799
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:10,040
         We, of all people,         
 we can't rock the boat too much. 

800
00:45:12,042 --> 00:45:14,002
            Yeah. I know.           

801
00:45:17,881 --> 00:45:20,426
      -[distant horns honking]      
      -[distant siren wailing]

00:45:22,761 --> 00:45:24,179
       [footsteps approaching]      

803
00:45:24,763 --> 00:45:26,181
      -[Michelle] Morning, Mom.     
              -Mm-hmm.              

804
00:45:26,765 --> 00:45:28,684
        I was talking garden        
            all morning.            

805
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:32,855
      Nothing like a curly kale     
            master class.           

806
00:45:33,063 --> 00:45:34,106
                Hmm.                

807
00:45:37,526 --> 00:45:39,069
        I'm gonna need help.        

808
00:45:40,279 --> 00:45:41,363
         Can you stay here?         

809
00:45:42,072 --> 00:45:45,200
      The girls are gonna need      
   some stability and continuity.   

810
00:45:45,784 --> 00:45:46,493
 They're gonna need their grandma 

811
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:48,996
         to keep their feet         
           on the ground.           

812
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:51,039
         The girls need me?         

813
00:45:55,377 --> 00:45:58,464
          You need me. Hmm.         

814
00:46:02,926 --> 00:46:04,970
           Then I am here.          

815
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:14,104
         -[whimpers] Mommy.         
            -[chuckling]            

816
00:46:14,313 --> 00:46:16,482
             Mom. Mama.             

817
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:18,984
            [chattering]            

818
00:46:20,068 --> 00:46:21,195
                Rahm?               

819
00:46:21,570 --> 00:46:22,446
          Madam First Lady.         

820
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:24,114
         How's it all going?        

821
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:28,160
    I have 87 pages to go through   
          in the next hour.         

822
00:46:28,619 --> 00:46:29,536
     Why are you sidelining me?     

823
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:31,747
    [scoffs] Can you guys give us   
          a minute, please?         

824
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:34,416
   -Give us a few minutes. Thanks. 
          -[Mel] Of course.         

825
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:36,502
               -Ma'am.              
            -First Lady.            

826
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:40,672
        I'm trying to ensure        
         that the East Wing         

827
00:46:41,298 --> 00:46:42,508
       compliments our agenda       
          in the West Wing.         

828
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:45,803
   So you turned me into a fluffy, 
      inconsequential hostess.      

829
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,347
       -No one's gonna buy it.      
       -Well, that's the job.       

830
00:46:48,847 --> 00:46:50,140
       It doesn't have to be.       

831
00:46:53,101 --> 00:46:55,687
        Do you really think--       
    Be honest with me, all right?   

832
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,025
   You really think working on the 
     board of a Chicago hospital    

833
00:47:00,859 --> 00:47:02,194
      has anything at all to do     
            with creating           

834
00:47:03,153 --> 00:47:05,989
 a countrywide health care system 
    for 200 million-plus people?    

835
00:47:06,824 --> 00:47:07,658
             I'm saying             
       that I can contribute.       

836
00:47:08,283 --> 00:47:09,368
           And I'm saying,          
        with all due respect,       

837
00:47:09,993 --> 00:47:10,702
     -that you're not qualified.    
             -Excuse me?            

838
00:47:11,328 --> 00:47:12,454
     I don't want you to become     
             a liability            

839
00:47:12,996 --> 00:47:13,705
       to your husband is all.      

840
00:47:14,331 --> 00:47:15,290
    But you were more than happy    
           to pimp me out           

841
00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:16,458
        during the campaign.        

842
00:47:17,042 --> 00:47:18,252
        The campaign is over.       
          This is politics          

843
00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:19,461
   and the business of government. 

844
00:47:20,003 --> 00:47:20,879
          -You're a real--          
               -What?               

845
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:23,966
    What am I "real"? An asshole?   
       A pit bull? A jerk-off?      

846
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:26,510
          A condescending,          
        patronizing monster?        

847
00:47:27,052 --> 00:47:29,888
    I was gonna say a "charmer."    

848
00:47:33,183 --> 00:47:34,226
           You know what?           
      You wanna make an omelet,     

849
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:35,310
     you gotta break some eggs.     

850
00:47:35,894 --> 00:47:37,396
          And I don't care          
          about any of that         

851
00:47:37,896 --> 00:47:38,981
     other peripheral bullshit.     

852
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:40,691
            -You should.            
        -Caring isn't my job.       

853
00:47:41,233 --> 00:47:42,359
          Absolute loyalty          
         to your husband is.        

854
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,654
   Being the bad guy so he doesn't 
    have to be, that's my focus.    

855
00:47:46,363 --> 00:47:47,698
      I will body check anyone      
    who gets in the way of that.    

856
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:50,284
              -Even me?             
     -If you become an obstacle.    

857
00:47:51,410 --> 00:47:53,287
       -You're a smart woman.       
        -Oh, thank you, Rahm.       

858
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:55,247
 So, I'm not gonna patronize you, 

859
00:47:55,706 --> 00:47:56,540
    but the fact that you're not    

860
00:47:57,165 --> 00:48:00,294
    a qualified career politician   
             is a fact.             

861
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:01,712
     It's not sexist or racist.     

862
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:03,338
    So, please, I'm begging you,    
         don't turn me into         

863
00:48:03,922 --> 00:48:04,798
            some kind of            
        cliché villain here.        

864
00:48:05,507 --> 00:48:07,050
       All right? We've known       
     each other a long time now.    

865
00:48:07,593 --> 00:48:08,635
         Amy and I have been        
           to your house.           

866
00:48:09,344 --> 00:48:11,096
       So I'm pretty certain,       
       Michelle-- Mrs. Obama,       

867
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,765
     that we can find a process     
             that works.            

868
00:48:14,558 --> 00:48:17,477
     If I'm willing to roll over    
    and become a Stepford FLOTUS.   

869
00:48:18,061 --> 00:48:19,605
 Not happening. Also, Gwen's out. 

870
00:48:20,230 --> 00:48:21,648
             Oh, my God.            
    We already went through this.   

871
00:48:22,232 --> 00:48:23,275
          Letting you foist         
          a chief of staff          

872
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:24,610
     on me was my first mistake.    

873
00:48:25,235 --> 00:48:26,320
       [sighs] You're opening       
        a can of worms here.        

874
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:30,365
   No. I'm accepting your position 
       and stepping into mine.      

875
00:48:30,741 --> 00:48:31,783
       Gwen will be replaced.       

876
00:48:32,576 --> 00:48:35,787
    I'll pick my team, choose my    
     causes. You leave me alone.    

877
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:37,247
             Understood?            

878
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:43,587
          Madam First Lady.         

879

            Talk to me...             

887

          You seem nervous.

      Huh? Me? No. Not at all.

          but... [chuckles]         

891
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:28,966
           What you need...           

892
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:30,717
             Look, uh...            

893
00:49:31,176 --> 00:49:32,135
           What you want...           

894
00:49:32,678 --> 00:49:34,888
            Rahm told me            
       that you and he spoke.       

895
00:49:35,472 --> 00:49:38,767
               We did.              
      It was real illuminating.     

896
00:49:39,351 --> 00:49:42,104
            Hmm. Mm-hmm.            
       He said the same thing.      

897
00:49:42,312 --> 00:49:42,771
               Mm-hmm.              

898
00:49:43,355 --> 00:49:45,148
      All the time that you spent    

899
00:49:46,316 --> 00:49:49,444
            She had other men        
          throw you outdoors          

900
00:49:49,653 --> 00:49:50,612
              Uh, look.             

901
00:49:51,196 --> 00:49:54,116
          -R-Rahm thinks--          
         -Stop right there.         

902
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,704
       You tell your work wife      
        that your actual wife       

903
00:49:59,329 --> 00:50:02,541
       said to stay out of our      
          family business.          

904
00:50:03,041 --> 00:50:04,835
               Got it.              
        Now I have two wives        

905
00:50:05,502 --> 00:50:06,878
   and neither of them are happy.   
             [chuckles]             

906
00:50:07,504 --> 00:50:10,382
          I'll make everything       
              all right               

907
00:50:16,722 --> 00:50:18,348
       You are my number one.       

908
00:50:18,557 --> 00:50:19,349
               Mm-hmm.              

909
00:50:19,808 --> 00:50:20,600
           -My main wife.           
              -Mm-hmm.              

910
00:50:21,143 --> 00:50:21,935
     And he's a distant second.     

911
00:50:22,644 --> 00:50:24,521
     For a start, he can't kiss     
         as well as you can.        

912
00:50:25,063 --> 00:50:26,064
      He-- He's working on it.      

913
00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:27,315
      But he's, uh-- [chuckles]     

914
00:50:28,233 --> 00:50:30,318
          -[both chuckling]         
    -He hasn't got it quite yet.    

915
00:50:32,029 --> 00:50:34,322
           Can I eat now?           

916
00:50:34,531 --> 00:50:35,490
               Mm-hmm.              

917
00:50:36,491 --> 00:50:38,076
 Can I get a little meat in here, 
    or I haven't earned my meat--   

918
00:50:38,702 --> 00:50:40,912
           There's no meat          
     in the White House garden.     

919
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:43,165
      -I'm going to try it out.     
             -[chuckles]            

920
00:50:44,166 --> 00:50:46,752
   Oh, don't let them say I didn't 
   try it. All right. Here we go.   

921
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:48,795
          [Michelle laughs]         

922
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:51,715
        Mm-hmm! Mmm! Organic!       

923
00:50:52,215 --> 00:50:53,550
                -Mmm.               
             -I approve!            

924
00:50:53,717 --> 00:50:54,843
             [chuckles]             

925
00:50:55,552 --> 00:50:57,471
     This is-- This has got the     
   presidential seal of approval!   

926
00:50:57,763 --> 00:51:00,348
          [chuckles, sighs]         

927
00:51:00,557 --> 00:51:01,475
             [song ends]            

928
00:51:01,767 --> 00:51:03,018
          [liquid pouring]          

929
00:51:03,685 --> 00:51:05,771
        [Michelle] I let Rahm       
       pick my chief of staff.      

930
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:07,606
        That was my mistake.        

931
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,526
    That's why I asked you here.    

932
00:51:14,404 --> 00:51:17,074
          I want you to be          
         my chief of staff.         

933
00:51:20,786 --> 00:51:22,120
        Gwen didn't work out.       

934
00:51:22,621 --> 00:51:23,789
    I need someone who knows me.    

935
00:51:24,414 --> 00:51:26,416
       Someone who understands      
           my priorities.           

936
00:51:27,375 --> 00:51:29,377
     You've been in the trenches    
        with me. I trust you.       

937
00:51:29,586 --> 00:51:31,129
               [gasps]              

938
00:51:31,922 --> 00:51:33,632
      Michelle, I'm flattered.      

939
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:36,927
    But I was only supposed to be   
    here for a few months to work   

940
00:51:37,552 --> 00:51:38,845
   -on the inauguration committee. 
              -I know.              

941
00:51:39,554 --> 00:51:41,723
          And Neil already          
     doesn't love me being away.    

942
00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:43,141
               I know.              

943
00:51:43,642 --> 00:51:46,103
     But husbands can relocate.     

944
00:51:47,104 --> 00:51:47,813
    And remember what you told me   

945
00:51:48,438 --> 00:51:50,774
        when Barack was still       
          in the primaries?         

946
00:51:53,110 --> 00:51:55,320
   That you should start embracing 
              the fact              

947
00:51:56,154 --> 00:51:59,324
     that your life might change    
           in a huge way.           

948
00:52:00,325 --> 00:52:02,452
      And I remember what else      
            you told me.            

949
00:52:03,411 --> 00:52:07,290
    About being open to exciting,   
      unexpected new horizons.      

950
00:52:08,166 --> 00:52:10,293
      I can be so inspirational     
     when I want to be, can't I?    

951
00:52:11,128 --> 00:52:12,629
               Susan,               
     let's kick some fucking ass    

952
00:52:13,171 --> 00:52:15,090
   the way we did back in Chicago. 

953
00:52:15,799 --> 00:52:19,427
 You know what this means, right? 
         You to be my boss.         

954
00:52:28,687 --> 00:52:32,607
         I really hope Neil         
        likes Washington DC.        

955
00:52:34,484 --> 00:52:36,153
              Yes, yes!             

956
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:38,071
             -Yes, yes!             
             -[whimpers]            

957
00:52:38,530 --> 00:52:39,948
                -Aw!                
             -[chuckles]            

958
00:52:40,365 --> 00:52:41,324
                 Oh!                

959
00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:42,868
             Yeah. Okay.            

960
00:52:43,451 --> 00:52:45,370
               -Okay!               
       -Mm-hmm. You promised.       

961
00:52:46,371 --> 00:52:48,206
                -Hmm.               
          -[whispers] Okay.         

962
00:52:49,833 --> 00:52:51,334
         Where do we start?         

963
00:52:52,210 --> 00:52:53,461
             [chuckles]             

964
00:52:58,008 --> 00:53:00,302
    [crowd chattering, laughing]    

965
00:53:06,224 --> 00:53:07,934
        That would be lovely.       
         I would love that.         

966
00:53:08,393 --> 00:53:09,519
         It would be lovely.        

967
00:53:09,895 --> 00:53:10,979
     We have, uh, the Dead Sea,     

968
00:53:11,646 --> 00:53:12,939
   -and you don't sink, you float. 
             -Excuse me.            

969
00:53:13,523 --> 00:53:15,317
     -So, it is very beautiful.     
              -[gasps]              

970
00:53:16,193 --> 00:53:21,406
        Ladies and gentlemen,       
   it has been our great pleasure   

971
00:53:22,407 --> 00:53:23,825
    spending a wonderful evening    

972
00:53:24,492 --> 00:53:27,495
        with our new friends,       
    King Hussein and Queen Alia,    

973
00:53:28,413 --> 00:53:30,749
       here at the White House      
     for our first State Dinner.    

974
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:32,709
             [applause]             

975
00:53:37,756 --> 00:53:39,799
     And it is my great pleasure    

976
00:53:40,926 --> 00:53:46,264
   to ask the most beautiful woman 
           in the world...          

977
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:51,603
   if she'll dance our first State 
        Dinner dance with me.       

978
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:53,772
            -[guests] Oh.           
             -[laughter]            

979
00:53:54,231 --> 00:53:56,441
           [jazz playing]           

980
00:54:10,455 --> 00:54:11,748
      I miss dancing with you.      

981
00:54:12,749 --> 00:54:16,753
    I'll dance with you anytime,    
           Mr. President.           

982
00:54:17,921 --> 00:54:20,799
     -I like the sound of that.     
       -Mmm. I'm sure you do.       

983
00:54:21,091 --> 00:54:22,425
           [both chuckle]           

984
00:54:29,474 --> 00:54:31,518
              [Gerald]              
     I'm so impressed with you.     

985
00:54:32,727 --> 00:54:35,438
      Pulling this all together     
        on such short notice.       

986
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:38,858
   I'm impressed with you, Jerry.   

987
00:54:39,484 --> 00:54:42,570
           You have a lot           
    on your shoulders right now.
