The bus is here. We've really got to move.
Sir, do you know what the average SMT time was this week?
Bram clocks this. He rounds up because he's got money on it.
92 minutes.
That's a lie!
SMT?
Santos Mean Time.
92 minutes late?
The notion that I'm the problem is convenient, but completely fallacious!
Do me a favor and talk to Ellie about whatever problems you're having with her music.
Now?
I was supposed to be in there but then Kate happened. It's going to take a few minutes; I thought you could do your thing.
I was working!
I was golfing.
Mini.
I've mastered the windmill shot, with the bridge.
That's a hard one!
Hole-in-one.
People!
Look, we realize there's a lot that goes along with having a wedding at the White House, but anything we could do to keep the numbers under control...?
Sure.
I know my father needs to invite a lot of people but I'm not crazy about the spotlight and Vic's a little agoraphobic.
It's not a phobia.
I was exaggerating.
It's the occasional shortness of breath.
It's really nothing!
...sometimes I pass out.
[going over the guest list] Andrew Edward... what's he doing in the H's? Oh, right! His Royal Highness, Duke of York.
[Vic stands up and looks uncomfortable]
Do you want to get some air?
Hey, at least he's not bringing the Queen. [pauses and checks the list] Oh, maybe he is bringing the Queen...
[about Santos] He's not presidential material.
Why?
Why? Because he left. He left Congress. He left Washington to go home and do small, important work. You had to haul him by the hair out of the family bed. Did you never stop to wonder if that was a good choice?
He stepped up. When presented with the opportunity...
[interrupting] A man in that job shouldn't have to be presented with anything. It's for someone who grabs it and holds onto it. For someone who thinks the gods have conspired to bring him to this place. That destiny demands of him this service! You don't have that kind of drive, that hubris, how in the hell are you gonna make the kind of decisions that stump every other person in this country? How in the hell are you gonna hold that kind of power in your hand?”
You don't know he's not that man.
You don't know that he is. [pauses] Is he? Look me in the eye and tell me that you know. Without a shadow of a doubt...you know. [pauses] That's why the other guy wins.
