1:00:01
I have no intention of pursuing you
inside of it...

1:00:04
...and that leaves everything out
and that's unacceptable to me.

1:00:07
If I were on your staff...
1:00:09
...I’d tell you that the worst thing
you can do, coming into an election year...

1:00:13
...is open yourself to character attacks.
The quickest way to do that...

1:00:16
...is to prance around like the playboy
of the Western World.

1:00:19
Let's clear up a couple of things here.
1:00:21
Number one: I seldom prance.
1:00:23
Number two: I have no intention
of engaging in a character debate.

1:00:26
And number three: You're not on my staff.
1:00:29
But if you'll follow the immutable--
1:00:31
Why is that, by the way? Please.
1:00:33
Why is what?
1:00:34
Why aren't you on my staff?
1:00:37
You can't afford me.
1:00:38
How much do you make?
1:00:40
More than you, Mr.President.
1:00:41
The name is Andy.
How much money do you make?

1:00:44
What the hell does it matter?
1:00:46
You raise your voice to the President?
1:00:48
I'm only thinking
about the health of your presidency.

1:00:51
You know this morning's press conference
won't be the end of this.

1:00:54
Bob Rumson's gotta be drooling over this.
1:00:56
Are you attracted to me?
1:00:59
I beg your pardon?
1:01:01
I asked if you were attracted to me.
1:01:03
That's not the issue.
1:01:05
Tell you what. Let's make it the issue.
Let's try something new...

1:01:08
...because when most couples
first get together they're inclined...

1:01:12
...to slam on the brakes because they're
concerned about Bob Rumson's drool.

1:01:16
You're not most people.
1:01:17
Do you know what your problem is?
1:01:18
What's my problem?
1:01:20
Sex and nervousness.
1:01:23
- Sex and nervousness is my problem?
- Yes.

1:01:26
Last night when we were looking
at those place settings in the Dish Room...

1:01:29
...I realized those place settings
were provided by the first ladies.

1:01:32
I'll bet none of those first ladies...
1:01:35
...were nervous about having sex
with their president husbands.

1:01:39
And you know why?
1:01:42
- No, but I'm sure you'll explain it to me.
- I will.

1:01:45
Because they weren't presidents
when they first met them.

1:01:48
That's not the case here.
1:01:52
- You see what I'm getting at?
- Yes.

1:01:56
May I use your bathroom?
1:01:58
Right through there. Right behind you.
