:24:00
If there had been a TV
in every living room 60 years ago...
:24:04
...this country does not elect a man
in a wheelchair.
:24:07
So what are you saying?
:24:09
That we'll take a hit.
:24:11
How big?
:24:13
Five points, maybe more.
:24:15
- We're talking here about five points?
- Could be more.
:24:18
I'd drop five points if Wisconsin doesn't
make it to the Rose Bowl.
:24:21
Five ball in the corner.
:24:24
Want me to have Kodak put together
some numbers so we know?
:24:28
Yeah.
:24:29
No! I don't want a checkup polling sample
to see if it's okay...
:24:32
...like I'm asking permission
to stay out an hour past curfew.
:24:36
This is not the business
of the American people.
:24:38
With all due respect, sir...
:24:40
...Americans have a funny way of deciding
what is and what is not their business.
:24:46
I like her, A.J.
:24:52
Stop being my chief of staff
for one minute.
:24:57
Give her a call.
:25:00
Janie!
:25:02
She didn't say anything about me?
:25:05
She did say you were taller
than she thought you'd be.
:25:08
Well, that's something.
:25:11
Yes, sir.
:25:12
I need you to track down
a phone number for me.
:25:17
Richard...
:25:20
It wasn't funny.
:25:22
I acted like a college freshman
at a protest rally.
:25:24
Tell him about walking out the wrong door.
:25:28
I forgot about that.
:25:30
No, I don't want to hear
your Andrew Shepherd imitation.
:25:34
I want to hear it.
:25:35
I'm hanging up now, Richard.
:25:37
Tonight I was gonna go to bed early
and wake up when there's a new president.
:25:43
The President must think
I'm a third-rate jerk.
:25:45
If he thinks you're a jerk,
he thinks you're a first-rate jerk.
:25:48
I'll tell you one thing, boy. I regrouped.
:25:51
You gotta give me that.
I pulled it together at the end.
:25:54
I stood in the middle of the Oval Office and
made it totally clear that from now on...
:25:58
...he who doesn't take the GDC seriously,
does so at his peril.
