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.
1:30:02
- Two hundred sixty-four million people--
- They don't give a damn about your life.

1:30:07
They care about their own.
1:30:08
All right, that's enough.
1:30:11
Mr.President...
1:30:12
You raised a daughter...
1:30:15
...almost entirely on your own...
1:30:17
...and she's terrific.
1:30:20
Why do you think, in the past seven weeks,
59 percent of this country...

1:30:23
...has begun to question
your family values?

1:30:26
The President doesn't answer to you.
1:30:28
Yes, he does. I'm a citizen.
This is my president.

1:30:31
In this country it's not only permissible to
question our leaders, it's our responsibility.

1:30:37
But you already know that,
don't you, Mr.President?

1:30:40
You have a deeper love of this country
than any man I've ever known.

1:30:44
I want to know what it says to you
that in the past seven weeks...

1:30:47
...59 percent of Americans
have begun to question your patriotism?

1:30:51
- If people want to listen--
- They don't have a choice!

1:30:54
Bob Rumson is the only one
doing the talking.

1:30:57
People want leadership.
In the absence of genuine leadership...
