:22:03
Solomon phoned. He said he was thrilled
with the deal you made this morning.
:22:07
I forgot to tell you.
:22:09
- It's a waste of time.
- But it's not ours.
:22:12
GDC makes a big push to get the votes.
When they come up short...
:22:15
...we move in with a softer bill,
get it passed. We're everybody's heroes.
:22:19
Three ball in the side.
:22:21
Also, Sydney Wade called.
:22:25
Sydney Wade?
:22:26
She wanted to apologize one more time
for her behavior.
:22:30
Excuse me, sir.
:22:33
Three in the side.
:22:37
Did she say anything about me?
:22:39
- Ms.Wade?
- When she called.
:22:41
Did she mention you?
:22:43
We had a nice couple of minutes together.
She threatened me, I patronized her.
:22:47
We didn't have anything to eat,
but I thought there was a connection.
:22:51
- Excuse me, sir.
- Sure.
:22:53
Thirteen in the corner.
:22:57
She didn't say anything about me?
:22:59
No, but I could pass her a note
before study hall.
:23:05
Tell me this. Hypothetically--
:23:07
I feel a nightmare coming on.
:23:09
What would happen
if I called Sydney Wade...
:23:11
...and asked her to be my date
at the state dinner on Thursday evening?
:23:17
You're not serious.
:23:18
Don't I sound serious?
:23:20
The President can't just go out on a date.
:23:22
Why not? Jefferson did. Wilson did.
:23:25
Wilson was widowed during his first term.
He met a woman, Edith Gault...
:23:28
...dated her, courted her, married her.
:23:30
And somewhere in there he managed
to form the League of Nations.
:23:34
Mr.President, this is an election year.
:23:37
If you're looking
for female companionship...
:23:38
...we can make arrangements
that will ensure total privacy.
:23:42
I don't want you to get me a girl.
What is this, Vegas?
:23:45
No, sir. The White House.
:23:46
I'm talking about something
that is not a conflict with my oath of office.
:23:50
I'm a single adult. I met a woman
who I'd like to see again socially.
:23:53
How is that different
from what Wilson did?
:23:55
The difference is he didn't have to be
president on television.
:23:59
You said it yourself:
