[loudly] Debbie! First of all where the hell are you and where are my–?
[enters with glasses] Right here, Mr. President. And the Ipswitch clams in Chesapeake Bay can hear you bellowing right now.
Ipswich clams don't come from Chesapeake Bay, they come from Ipswich.
Not anymore.
[to Leo] Have her beheaded for my birthday.
This meeting doesn't go in the Sit Room anymore, okay? I don't know why the hell it's here. This isn't a military operation.
It's a secure room.
My office is a secure room, too, isn't it? Please, somebody tell me it is or I gotta go pack some stuff.
Charlie! Would you pull the first lady out of whatever it is she's doing?
She's with the women's caucus.
Well put on a helmet and pads and get in there.
Samuel Mudd set Booth's leg after he shot Lincoln. Doctors are liable in this country if they don't treat the patient in front of them.
Just for the record, this is why we don't talk about foreign policy, which we do, but you don't think we do enough.
Why?
Because Samuel Mudd was tried and convicted of treason for setting that leg.
So?
What 'so'?
So that's the way it goes. You set the leg.
Run towards yourself. I'm wrong about that - walk. You're not going to be used to your surroundings.
Yes, sir.
If you lose, you lose. But if you waste this, I'll kill you.
You're going to campaign on prescription drugs?
Our prescription drug bill-- yes, sir-- and our Medicare reforms and the Bartlet Energy Plan.
Sam.
Yes, sir?
It's okay to run away from me when you need to.
I would never, Mr. President. I simply would never do that. That's not how I'm getting votes.
I appreciate that but that's not what I'm talking about. You disagreed with me on Medicare. I remember the meeting right here. Then you wrote a five-page
Yes, sir.
If you lose, you lose. But if you waste this, I'll kill you. I'll just kill you, Sam.
Yes, sir.
