:31:01
...even real politicians have trouble
getting used to the cameras--
:31:04
A TelePrompTer.
:31:06
A TelePrompTer. Is it hooked up?
:31:08
I don't think so.
:31:12
As I was saying, no one expects you
to be Bill Mitchell overnight.
:31:15
The most important thing
to remember is his general presence.
:31:19
Now, whenever he stands at the podium...
:31:21
...President Mitchell always has
one hand in the pocket of his coat.
:31:25
At a press conference.
:31:27
Otherwise, they're always on the podium.
:31:30
I'm not certain about that.
:31:31
Remember the convention speech?
:31:33
''An America,
stronger than the one we were given.
:31:36
''An America,
prouder than the one we found.''
:31:40
Right there on the podium.
Except on ''America,'' he points.
:31:43
That's very good.
:31:45
Oh, I love that speech.
:31:46
Thanks. I wrote it.
:31:48
You did?
:31:49
It's great!
:31:51
''Somewhere, there is a distant light...
:31:54
''...guiding us through this rocky shoal.
:31:58
''America isn't what we say here tonight.
:32:02
''lt's in the faces and the smiles
of a Sunday afternoon.
:32:07
''lt's in the gentle kindness...
:32:09
''...of the family kitchen...
:32:11
''...as we gather together...
:32:14
''...when the sun goes down.''
:32:22
Can I keep this?
:32:31
-I thought I wouldn't see her.
-Just five minutes.
:32:33
She walks in, you wave, she leaves.
:32:35
First lady. I mean,
couldn't I start with a cousin?
:32:39
She hardly ever sees him.
It'll be fast, she won't be able to tell.
:32:41
Stop whining.
:32:43
If you can convince her,
you can convince anybody.
:32:47
All right.
:32:49
We're ready for Mrs. Mitchell.
:32:53
As soon as she comes in,
we'll move you out to the balcony.
:32:56
All you have to say is,
''Thanks for doing this, Ellen.''
