1:12:00
It doesn't do me any good.
The 5:45 network news is in make-up.

1:12:03
Twelve people work for you--
1:12:05
Do I have to be here for this?
1:12:07
Sorry, sir.
1:12:09
It's on the evening news, third story.
1:12:11
It's got a bullet.
1:12:13
Sydney was at a protest rally.
They burned a flag.

1:12:16
- Today?
- About 13 years ago.

1:12:19
Department of Commerce. Anti-apartheid.
1:12:23
Let me see if I got this.
1:12:25
The third story on the news was that...
1:12:27
...someone I didn't know 13 years ago,
when I wasn't president...

1:12:30
...went to a demonstration where no laws
were broken, in protest of something...

1:12:34
...that so many people were against
that doesn't exist anymore.

1:12:38
Just out of curiosity,
what was the fourth story?

1:12:43
- It's important when we deal with it--
- Don't deal with it.

1:12:47
Nobody wins these fights. It'll go away.
1:12:54
I'm not sure
that's the wisest course of action.

1:12:57
- Hell!
- It's already distracting you.

1:13:00
No. It reminded me I'm supposed
to have dinner with Sydney tonight.

1:13:05
Oh, it's terrific. Beth, I love it.
1:13:07
I can't believe I'm loaning you clothes.
I thought you owned everything.

1:13:12
Work clothes.
1:13:13
I always wear a suit at the White House.
I thought a dress would be nice.

1:13:16
Go ahead. Try it on.
I brought earrings, too.

1:13:22
Hi, what are you doing?
1:13:24
Just trying on dresses.
1:13:26
I feel terrible,
but I'll have to cancel our date tonight.

1:13:29
- Another woman?
- No.

1:13:31
I've got to go to St.Louis
to avert a massive airline strike.

1:13:34
If I had a nickel for every time
I heard that one!

1:13:36
Thanks for understanding.
I'll call you later.

1:13:39
Okay, 'bye.
1:13:42
I hate that. She was trying on dresses.
1:13:44
I tell any girl I'm dating...
1:13:46
...to assume that all plans are soft
until I confirm 30 minutes beforehand.

1:13:51
They find this romantic?
1:13:53
I say it with a lot of charm.
1:13:55
Look! There it is!
Carmen's House of Flowers.

1:13:58
- Coop, we gotta stop.
- What?

1:13:59
I gotta get her flowers.
