Oh, and don't be the sweet,
nice guy from Brooklyn on this one.
- Do what the N.R.A. does.
- Scare the sh*t out of them?
- Exactly.
- I can do that.
We want you to be legislative liaison.
You're gonna run the show on the Hill.
Can I just say, to return
to the subject for one moment...
that it might be easier to fight drugs
if we weren't arming drug dealers?
we can win, Lewis.
- Yes, sir.
- We want to announce the crime bill...
at the State of the Union,
which is 72 days from today.
Last count put us
18 votes short.
Eighteen votes in 72 days.
Thank you, everyone.
- What's next?
- Security briefing, sir.
"Global Defense Council"
Good morning. Global Defense Council.
You wanted to see me?
- I just spoke with A.J. Maclnerney.
- Did the president read the letter?
The president's pissed as hell.
That letter was a stupid move.
It was aggressive, and I think
we should stand by every word--
This isn't the guy who needed our help.
He's incredibly popular.
He's gonna win reelection, and
he could give a sh*t what we stand by!
If the president passes history's most
important environmental legislation...
despite our negative endorsement,
our future political weight...
will rank somewhere below
the Save the Spotted Owl Society.
I'm bringin' in some help.
We don't need another environmental
expert to confirm what every other--
Not an environmental expert.
A professional political strategist.
We're playing hardball with Andrew
Shepherd, and we need a heavy bat.
- Who?
Christ, Leo! That woman doesn't know
anything about the environmental lobby!
She's a closer, Susan.
She gets the job done.
- What if I lose this?
- Then move this up here.
David Sasser from the Times wants to
know what you think is a great society.
-What did you tell him?
-That I can't speak for the president...
but for my money, Bermuda.
- Perfect.
- Your cousin Judith has the flu...
and won't be able
to join you Thursday night.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Remind me to call her later today.
- Yes, sir.
- You gonna go stag?
- Is that a problem?
- No, we've never gone wrong...
parading you around
as the lonely widower.
I can't believe I said that. That was
an incredibly thoughtless remark.
I would never dream of insulting you
with the memory of your wife.
That's okay. Forget it.
What time is it?
It's 3:
30, sir.I'm gonna go up
and say hi to Lucy.
You have the attorney general at 4:00
and the trade rep at 4:30.
- And you promised N.P.R. five minutes.
- Mr. President?
Don't stop. It sounds great.
What is it?
Scales.
