GIBBS:

Sir, this plane carries the President

of the United States.

Though we wish to extend your press service every courtesy,

you will comply with our security measures to the letter.

KORSHUNOV:

Of course. I'm sorry.

Korshunov and the FIVE MEMBERS of his news crew present their

video cameras, sound equipment and supplies to Special Agent

WALTERS for inspection. Secret Service DOGS sniff through

the baggage.

GIBBS:

Please place your thumbs on the ID

pad.

Korshunov puts his thumb on the ID pad of a portable computer.

The computer matches up his thumbprint with his dossier and

photograph. "CLEARED" flashes on the computer screen.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

The President, walking with his entourage.

SHEPHERD:

* CBS said they'll

give us four minutes. They thought

the Russian was a nice touch.

MARSHALL:

I always wondered if my freshman

Russian class would come in handy.

DOHERTY:

Sir, you threw out page two.

MARSHALL:

Goddamn right I did. I asked for a

tough-as-nails speech and you gave

me diplomatic bullshit. What's the

point in having a speech if I have

to ad-lib?

DOHERTY:

It was a good ad-lib, sir.

MARSHALL:

Thanks. Wrote it last night.

The President exits the building and enters his limousine.

EXT. TARMAC - AIR FORCE ONE - NIGHT

Walters hands the bags back to the Russians.

WALTERS:

Equipment checks out.

A striking woman in her early thirties descends Air Force

One's stairway. MARIA MITCHELL.

GIBBS:

Gentlemen, this is Maria Mitchell.

Press Relations for the Presidential Flight Office. She'll

take you from here.
