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.
1:02:01
I just want to freshen up.
1:02:03
As you pass through,
you'll see a large closet on the right.
1:02:05
If you want, hang up your coat.
1:02:08
Then I'll fix us a drink...
1:02:10
...we'll sit on the couch,
and I'll explain to you my plan.
1:02:13
You got a plan? Don't make me wait.
You're on a roll.
1:02:16
Okay, you're attracted to me...
1:02:19
...but the idea of physical intimacy
is uncomfortable...
1:02:22
...because you only know me
as the President.
1:02:24
It's not always going to be that way.
1:02:26
The reason I know that is
there was a moment last night...
1:02:30
...when you were with me
and not the President.
1:02:34
And I know what a big step
that was for you.
1:02:37
So, Sydney, I'm in no rush.
1:02:40
Here's my plan.
1:02:42
We're gonna slow down...
1:02:43
...and when you're comfortable,
that's when it's gonna happen.
1:02:57
Perhaps I didn't properly explain
the fundamentals of the slowdown plan.
