1:28:02
We lost Jarrett.
1:28:03
I hope so. If that was an undecided,
then we need to work on our people skills.
1:28:08
Karen, it's Lewis. Find Congressman
Quincy for me right away. Thank you.
1:28:16
We lost Quincy, too.
1:28:21
Did he give a reason?
1:28:23
He thinks your numbers
aren't likely to rebound.
1:28:28
We're three votes down again, sir.
1:28:32
Mr.President, as of this morning
Sydney only needed one more vote.
1:28:37
The Motown Three must be scared blind.
1:28:38
I don't think there will be
a better opportunity.
1:28:41
The press expects an announcement
on the crime bill by the State of the Union.
1:28:45
If you agree to stick 455 in the drawer
until after the elections...
1:28:48
- ...they'll give you the three votes.
- And we declare victory, sir.
1:28:53
We said, "as a last resort."
1:28:56
We're there.
1:28:57
State of the Union is 48 hours away.
1:28:59
- There must be three votes someplace.
- There isn't.
1:29:02
- Bullshit!
- There's no one, sir.
1:29:05
- Excuse me?
- What about Storch?
1:29:06
No, Storch is a "no."
1:29:08
Mr.President...
1:29:10
- Wagner?
- No.
1:29:12
Sobel? Clark?
1:29:14
No, the one from Indiana.
1:29:16
That one too, sir.
1:29:18
I think we have to do this.
1:29:20
A.J., she is one vote away.
1:29:23
It's important legislation that
for the first time has a legitimate chance.
1:29:27
She deserves every opportunity.
1:29:29
"She"?
1:29:31
You meant "it," didn't you, sir?
1:29:33
"The legislation" deserves
every opportunity.
1:29:36
Lewis, shut up.
1:29:37
You have something to say to me, Lewis?
1:29:39
Respectfully, sir...
1:29:41
We should examine the new poll
for something more--
1:29:44
They don't like me going out with Sydney?
1:29:46
It's not that simple.
1:29:48
This poll brings a murky problem
into specific relief.
1:29:51
Whose problem are
we talking about, Lewis? Yours?
1:29:54
You worried about losing your job?
1:29:56
This poll isn't talking about my presidency.
1:29:59
This poll is talking about my life.
