:55:00
Good. lt's working.
:55:02
lt's all happening.
lt's taking place around us.
:55:05
lt is in the works.
lt is being addressed.
:55:08
We are being proactive.
:55:10
We are going out with what
may be the finest example--
:55:13
Get me an update on the army,
the Pentagon.
:55:16
Get this guy Schumann.
:55:17
Have him standing by.
:55:19
l gotta tell you,
l see a lot of glum faces.
:55:23
Please don't be disconsolate.
:55:24
This is politics at its finest.
:55:28
This is where the rubber
meets the road.
:55:31
We've got a leader
going out tonight...
:55:33
to 95 million American homes.
:55:35
He's gonna turn
this thing around.
:55:36
You think this is tough?
:55:38
l was 4 months into production
on The Song of Solomon...
:55:41
found out l didn't
have the rights.
:55:43
Turn it up. lt's our spot.
:55:44
Tough? This is nothing.
:55:48
Will you look at that shit?
:55:52
'Cause you don't change
horses in midstream.
:55:57
Don't change horses.
:55:59
This speech is good.
:56:01
We're kinda locked into it,
Mr. President.
:56:05
For the future
of our families...
:56:07
The music.
Where did they get that?
:56:13
-Pain in the ass.
-What?
:56:17
He won't do the speech.
:56:20
What do you mean?
:56:22
What choice does he have?
:56:24
He won't do the speech?
:56:26
He says it's corny.
:56:27
lt's what? lt's corny?
:56:31
Of course it's corny.
:56:32
We wouldn't have him say it
if it wasn't.
:56:35
lt's not a question.
:56:36
This is the center
for rest of the thing.
:56:38
Don't tell me it's corny.
:56:40
We're locked into the speech,
right?
:56:42
We're locked in.
:56:43
We are playing way past this.
:56:45
We are past this.
:56:48
This is what l need.
:56:50
Get me 30 secretaries
and put them in an office now.
:56:55
l need to see the president.
:56:57
l need 5 minutes.
:56:59
Know what this reminds me of?
