1:34:00
You'll call him?
You'll call him yourself, personally?
1:34:02
It will come from the President?
1:34:04
That's a great idea.
You should call Leo and make a deal.
1:34:08
He hires me back for 72 days.
1:34:10
I go around scaring Congress...
1:34:12
...making them think the President will
drive through a damaging and costly bill.
1:34:16
They'll believe me because
I'm the President's Friday-night girl.
1:34:20
I don't know if we can dip into
that well twice. I've lost all credibility.
1:34:24
But you never know.
I might be able to pull it off again.
1:34:27
Then you could pass some
ground-breaking piece of crime legislation.
1:34:32
A mandatory three-day waiting period
before a five-year-old can buy an Uzi.
1:34:36
Fuck the sweater. She'll have to learn
to live with disappointment.
1:34:40
What do you think went on here today?
1:34:43
I know exactly what went on here today.
I got screwed.
1:34:47
You saw the poll,
you needed the crime bill.
1:34:49
You couldn't get it on your own,
so I got screwed.
1:34:51
The environment got screwed, Sydney.
Nothing happened to you.
1:34:56
Governing is choosing.
Governing is prioritizing.
1:34:58
I made no secret of the fact
the crime bill was my top priority.
1:35:02
Then congratulations.
It's only taken you three years...
1:35:05
...to put together crime prevention
legislation that won't prevent crime.
1:35:10
Syd, please.
1:35:12
I don't want to lose you over this.
1:35:15
Mr.President, you've got bigger problems
than losing me.
1:35:20
You just lost my vote.
1:35:30
What's in Hartford?
1:35:32
Richard Reynolds' district office.
She might run his campaign.
1:35:35
Twelve in the corner.
1:35:37
Hartford, the insurance capital
of the world.
1:35:41
Have a good time, Syd.
1:35:44
I'll have Janie clear your schedule for
the weekend. You need to get some rest.
1:35:48
- You handling me?
- No, sir.
1:35:51
But I will if you don't start
taking your head out of your ass.
1:35:55
Excuse me?
1:35:57
Lewis is right. Go after this guy.
