He's on his way up.
1:05:03
What?
1:05:04
Come on in, Lewis.
1:05:06
'Morning, Mr.President. Hiya, Sydney.
1:05:08
Hi, Lewis.
1:05:09
Mr.President...
1:05:12
Thanks for taking the time
to go over those fossil fuel numbers.

1:05:16
I'll just get my coat, be on my way.
1:05:18
What's the situation?
1:05:20
Camped out at every exit.
1:05:21
Who? Who's camped out?
1:05:23
- The press.
- The press is camped out?

1:05:26
You should have taken a cab.
1:05:27
- They know my car?
- 'Morning, Mr.President. Sydney.

1:05:30
- I came when Lewis called.
- Thank God.

1:05:33
Let's not look like we're panicking.
1:05:35
The important thing is
actually not to be panicking.

1:05:39
'Morning, Mr.President.
1:05:40
'Morning.
1:05:41
'Morning, Ms.Wade.
1:05:42
I see everyone's getting
an early start today.

1:05:44
How do we exit Sydney from the building
and what do we say to the press?

1:05:48
- We need a diversion.
- A diversion?

1:05:51
I'm not suggesting
that we burn the White House.

1:05:53
Please, let's do.
1:05:55
I state clearly that I can't be party
to anything illegal.

1:05:58
Good for you.
1:05:59
It's always the guy in my job
who ends up doing 18 months...

1:06:02
...in a minimum security prison.
1:06:04
- Rest easy. We won't create a diversion.
- No diversion.

1:06:07
- Somebody will take you home.
- Esther's in my office.

1:06:10
She has the station wagon standing by.
1:06:12
Good. Now, press statement.
1:06:14
Sydney...
1:06:15
When you leave here you're going to run
into reporters and photographers.

1:06:19
They're gonna take your picture every day.
They're gonna ask you questions every day.

1:06:23
Answer them, don't answer them,
it's entirely up to you.

1:06:27
The White House has no official position
except to say, "No comment."

1:06:32
No comment?
1:06:33
The White House does not comment
on the President's personal life.

1:06:36
We can't leave it at that.
1:06:38
I tell you what, Lewis. We just did.
1:06:41
- But, sir...
- Thank you, Mr.President.

1:06:43
Come, friends. Let us away.
1:06:44
- Thank you, Mr.President.
- Thank you, Mr.President.

1:06:47
Esther will be in my office.
1:06:50
- Take your time.
- Thanks, A.J.

1:06:56
I'm sorry about this.
1:06:59
We'll do it better next time.
