1
00:01:43,233 --> 00:01:45,887
Grande nonfat latte for Monica.
2
00:01:46,061 --> 00:01:48,281
Thanks.
Uh, probably my last time.
3
00:01:48,455 --> 00:01:50,196
- I'm moving
to New York next week.
- Oh, my gosh,
4
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:52,024
we'll miss you.
5
00:01:52,198 --> 00:01:53,156
Bye.
6
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:58,509
♪ It's a beautiful life♪
7
00:01:58,683 --> 00:02:00,163
♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh♪
8
00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:01,686
♪ It's a beautiful life...♪
9
00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:03,340
All right.
Here we go. Okay, ready?
10
00:02:03,514 --> 00:02:04,645
We'll start with our right foot.
Good.
11
00:02:04,819 --> 00:02:06,212
♪ It's a beautiful life...♪
12
00:02:06,386 --> 00:02:08,997
One more each side.
Really make it count.
13
00:02:09,172 --> 00:02:10,521
- Come on, Monica.
14
00:02:22,924 --> 00:02:24,839
Where on God's green earth?
15
00:02:25,013 --> 00:02:26,798
I was working out.
Jesus, Linda.
16
00:02:26,972 --> 00:02:29,888
Your discipline-- you make me
feel like a slob.
17
00:02:30,062 --> 00:02:31,846
Listen, can you
do lunch in an hour?
18
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:35,067
- I'm in the middle of packing.
- Monica, I have good news.
19
00:02:35,241 --> 00:02:37,025
I may have found a solution
to our problem.
20
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,984
- Really?
- Let's meet in the food court,
21
00:02:39,158 --> 00:02:40,725
Pentagon City.
22
00:03:25,726 --> 00:03:27,685
Subject's arrived.
23
00:03:28,729 --> 00:03:30,165
Yeah.
24
00:03:45,224 --> 00:03:46,530
Hi.
25
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:53,232
Thank you.
26
00:04:40,584 --> 00:04:43,021
Miss Lewinsky, we're agents
with the Federal Bureau
27
00:04:43,195 --> 00:04:45,371
of Investigation authorized
by the attorney general
28
00:04:45,545 --> 00:04:47,808
to investigate crimes
committed in relation to
29
00:04:47,982 --> 00:04:50,202
- the Paula Jones lawsuit.
- Linda?
30
00:04:50,376 --> 00:04:51,899
Miss Lewinski,
you're in serious trouble.
31
00:04:52,073 --> 00:04:55,207
And we just want to talk to you.
32
00:04:55,381 --> 00:04:58,253
I-I can't talk to you
without my attorney.
33
00:04:58,428 --> 00:05:00,212
That's fine, but you should know
34
00:05:00,386 --> 00:05:02,693
in that case, you may not be
able to help yourself.
35
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:04,912
Monica, they did
the same thing to me.
36
00:05:05,086 --> 00:05:06,958
This is for your own good.
37
00:05:12,964 --> 00:05:14,879
How about we speak
somewhere more quiet?
38
00:06:39,267 --> 00:06:43,446
Miss Lewinsky. Good afternoon.
39
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,667
Monica, my name is Mike Emmick.
40
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:49,277
I'm with the office
of the independent counsel,
41
00:06:49,452 --> 00:06:50,844
Kenneth Starr.
42
00:06:54,282 --> 00:06:56,371
Can we get her
out of the room, please?
43
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:57,982
- I mean, come on.
- No.
44
00:06:58,852 --> 00:07:00,550
Make her stay and watch.
45
00:07:02,552 --> 00:07:06,469
I want that treacherous bitch
to see what she's done to me.
46
00:07:40,198 --> 00:07:42,505
...money
that the Clintons invested, um,
47
00:07:42,679 --> 00:07:45,464
in land with another couple,
James and Susan McDougal,
48
00:07:45,638 --> 00:07:47,466
in 1978.
49
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,904
The crux of it is, they had
this land deal together...
50
00:07:51,078 --> 00:07:53,951
Allison, let's go.
We're going to be late.
51
00:08:12,012 --> 00:08:13,318
Morning.
52
00:08:20,847 --> 00:08:22,283
Uh, staples.
53
00:08:22,457 --> 00:08:24,982
- It has a paper clip.
- We use staples.
54
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:35,819
Good morning.
White House Counsel's Office.
55
00:08:35,993 --> 00:08:38,735
Yes, just one moment.
I'll transfer you.
56
00:08:46,133 --> 00:08:48,788
My dinner tonight,
move it to 8:00.
57
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:50,660
Yes, Bernie, will do.
58
00:08:50,834 --> 00:08:53,097
Linda, can I ask you
to mail these for me?
59
00:08:53,271 --> 00:08:54,925
Of course.
60
00:08:55,882 --> 00:08:57,841
Vince, are you seeing this?
61
00:09:01,888 --> 00:09:04,761
We're actually getting
a day of good press.
62
00:09:04,935 --> 00:09:08,112
- They love Ruth.
- Good pick.
63
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:10,201
Are you all right?
64
00:09:12,943 --> 00:09:15,989
We hit a home run
for the president today.
65
00:09:16,163 --> 00:09:17,251
Stop worrying
about the travel office.
66
00:09:17,425 --> 00:09:19,602
Stop worrying about Whitewater.
67
00:10:05,082 --> 00:10:06,997
- Hello.
- Good morning.
68
00:10:34,111 --> 00:10:36,113
Let me tell you one thing,
Mrs. Bush would rather have
69
00:10:36,287 --> 00:10:39,029
been catheterized than used
the communal ladies' room.
70
00:10:39,203 --> 00:10:41,422
I'm serious.
What was she doing in there?
71
00:10:41,596 --> 00:10:43,076
Probably what everyone does.
72
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,904
- You're so hard on them.
73
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:47,254
You only say that because
your husband's a donor.
74
00:10:47,428 --> 00:10:49,735
Linda, her office is
on this floor where...
75
00:10:49,909 --> 00:10:52,564
I have to stop you.
Listen to what you just said.
76
00:10:52,738 --> 00:10:54,871
As though that's not
unbelievably disturbing
77
00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:58,701
in itself-- the first lady's
office in the West Wing.
78
00:10:58,875 --> 00:11:01,616
Well, how else is she gonna get
close enough to Vince?
79
00:11:01,791 --> 00:11:04,881
- Oh, no.
- A lot of people say it's true.
80
00:11:05,055 --> 00:11:06,796
Now, I'm in a position
to know that
81
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:08,623
Vince Foster
is a man of integrity.
82
00:11:10,147 --> 00:11:13,716
If you'll excuse me,
some of us have real jobs.
83
00:11:15,892 --> 00:11:18,198
It's breathtaking.
84
00:11:18,372 --> 00:11:21,854
- Your messages.
- Oh, thank you.
85
00:11:22,028 --> 00:11:24,857
...saying what's incompetence
and what's deliberate...
86
00:11:25,031 --> 00:11:26,467
Need anything else?
87
00:11:26,641 --> 00:11:28,295
We all know how liberals
88
00:11:28,469 --> 00:11:30,733
over at The Washington Post
will spin it.
89
00:11:30,907 --> 00:11:34,214
But I keep saying,
to anyone who will listen,
90
00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:37,740
all roads lead to
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
91
00:11:37,914 --> 00:11:40,612
-Every time.
Every single scandal...
- Lunch?
92
00:11:40,786 --> 00:11:42,048
...seems to have her
fingerprints all over it.
93
00:11:42,222 --> 00:11:43,441
Of course.
94
00:12:12,165 --> 00:12:13,558
There you go.
95
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,868
Thought maybe you could
use a treat.
96
00:12:20,565 --> 00:12:22,567
You're a kind person, Linda.
97
00:12:34,057 --> 00:12:36,189
Mr. Nussbaum and his wife
will be dining
98
00:12:36,363 --> 00:12:38,931
with Estelle Parsons
of TV's Roseanne.
99
00:12:39,105 --> 00:12:42,152
So you'll have two VIPs
at the table.
100
00:12:42,326 --> 00:12:43,675
If you could...
101
00:12:45,024 --> 00:12:47,635
Excellent. Thank you, Carlo.
102
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,812
It's always a pleasure
working with you.
103
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:57,994
Well, I left some M&Ms
on the tray.
104
00:12:58,168 --> 00:12:59,212
For you.
105
00:12:59,386 --> 00:13:02,085
Oh. Thank you.
106
00:13:03,086 --> 00:13:04,348
I'll be back.
107
00:15:43,811 --> 00:15:46,118
A lot of money earned by
our players in that first round.
108
00:15:46,292 --> 00:15:48,294
Let's see if they can keep
it going in Double Jeopardy!
109
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:52,777
Here we go...
110
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,825
CNN breaking news.
Good evening.
111
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,479
- We've just gotten word
112
00:15:59,653 --> 00:16:01,742
that a body found in
Fort Marcy Park is that
113
00:16:01,916 --> 00:16:04,267
of Deputy White House Counsel
Vincent Foster.
114
00:16:04,441 --> 00:16:06,051
Early reports indicating
that this appears
115
00:16:06,225 --> 00:16:07,574
to have been a suicide.
116
00:16:07,748 --> 00:16:09,402
It's a busy scene right now.
117
00:16:09,576 --> 00:16:11,448
Investigators have been here
for about four hours.
118
00:16:11,622 --> 00:16:13,406
Of course,
details are extremely vague.
119
00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:16,235
We'll update you as soon
as we get some new news.
120
00:16:16,409 --> 00:16:18,629
Thanks, Chris.
Again, shocking news tonight,
121
00:16:18,803 --> 00:16:20,587
with the apparent suicide
of Deputy White House Counsel
122
00:16:20,761 --> 00:16:22,241
Vince Foster.
123
00:16:22,415 --> 00:16:23,721
Foster joined
the Clinton administration
124
00:16:23,895 --> 00:16:25,331
just six months ago.
125
00:16:25,505 --> 00:16:27,116
-He was most recently linked...
No.
126
00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:28,726
...to the White House
travel office investigation.
127
00:16:43,784 --> 00:16:45,438
Good morning, gentlemen.
128
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:47,962
Well, excuse me,
but this is my office.
129
00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:49,007
Yeah, she's okay.
130
00:16:49,181 --> 00:16:51,618
Thank you, excuse me.
131
00:16:51,792 --> 00:16:54,621
Linda, it's all just so awful.
132
00:16:54,795 --> 00:16:56,145
Someone's going
to want to talk to me.
133
00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:57,450
- You should take the day off.
- Bernie,
134
00:16:57,624 --> 00:16:59,191
I was the last one
to see him alive.
135
00:16:59,365 --> 00:17:00,540
- Of course.
- Excuse me,
136
00:17:00,714 --> 00:17:01,672
where are you taking that?
137
00:17:01,846 --> 00:17:03,282
W-What is he doing with that?
138
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:04,631
- Linda.
- Excuse me.
139
00:17:04,805 --> 00:17:06,024
- Sir?
Linda!
140
00:17:06,198 --> 00:17:07,547
Excuse me, I'm talking to you.
141
00:17:07,721 --> 00:17:09,158
Who told you
you could take that?
142
00:17:09,332 --> 00:17:11,856
Bernie Nussbaum is
who told me to take this.
143
00:17:39,884 --> 00:17:43,279
Yeah, I finally got him
to go down for a nap.
144
00:17:43,453 --> 00:17:45,542
He's been fussin' all day.
145
00:17:47,718 --> 00:17:49,807
Yeah, I got it.
146
00:17:52,026 --> 00:17:54,420
Well, what do you think?
Steve sounded upset.
147
00:17:54,594 --> 00:17:56,030
I don't even think he read it.
148
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:06,998
- I gotta go.
149
00:18:15,528 --> 00:18:16,573
You okay?
150
00:18:16,747 --> 00:18:19,837
No, Paula, I'm not okay.
Jesus.
151
00:18:25,451 --> 00:18:28,062
I finally get an audition.
152
00:18:28,237 --> 00:18:30,021
Finally start feeling good
about being here.
153
00:18:30,195 --> 00:18:32,371
Well, this doesn't take away
your audition.
154
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:34,156
Feeling like I won't have to
spend my life at the airline--
155
00:18:34,330 --> 00:18:35,505
God, how am I gonna go
into work with this
156
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:36,984
fucking thing floating around?!
157
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:38,377
I never even heard
of that magazine before.
158
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:39,726
I bet nobody even read it.
159
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:41,250
Saying that my wife
160
00:18:41,424 --> 00:18:43,426
went into a hotel room
with Bill Clinton.
161
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,819
And then afterwards,
you went and told his trooper
162
00:18:45,993 --> 00:18:47,081
you wanted to be his girlfriend.
163
00:18:47,256 --> 00:18:48,909
That is a lie and you know it.
164
00:18:49,083 --> 00:18:51,260
You went up to the hotel room.
That part wasn't a lie.
165
00:18:51,434 --> 00:18:52,739
How many times are we gonna
talk about this?
166
00:18:52,913 --> 00:18:55,394
Everyone we know
is gonna read this!
167
00:18:55,568 --> 00:18:57,179
About my wife!
168
00:18:58,267 --> 00:18:59,268
Hey. Hey.
169
00:19:07,754 --> 00:19:09,756
We can fix this.
170
00:19:09,930 --> 00:19:12,150
We just got to show 'em
what really happened.
171
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,285
How?
172
00:19:17,938 --> 00:19:21,551
Deb knows a lawyer.
He did her divorce.
173
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,398
So then, uh,
what's the real story?
174
00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:47,054
Well, I was working
the registration desk
175
00:19:47,229 --> 00:19:49,970
for the Quality Management
conference in Little Rock.
176
00:19:50,144 --> 00:19:52,799
Uh, Governor Clinton
came through the lobby
177
00:19:52,973 --> 00:19:56,629
and one of his state troopers
told me...
178
00:19:56,803 --> 00:19:58,805
"The governor would like
to see you in his room."
179
00:19:58,979 --> 00:20:04,158
So I said, "Gosh, okay." And...
180
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:07,205
I went up there. Then...
181
00:20:11,992 --> 00:20:16,301
Um, we were alone.
Me and Clinton.
182
00:20:16,475 --> 00:20:18,521
And he said "hi" real friendly,
183
00:20:18,695 --> 00:20:20,436
uh, started complimenting me.
184
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:22,960
Next thing I know, he's...
185
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:25,571
getting real close,
trying to kiss on me.
186
00:20:25,745 --> 00:20:29,314
So I went and sat on a sofa
across the room, trying to...
187
00:20:29,488 --> 00:20:32,448
show him I'm not interested.
188
00:20:32,622 --> 00:20:34,232
But then...
189
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:39,150
He comes in,
sits right by me and...
190
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:44,547
That's... that's when I saw...
191
00:20:49,378 --> 00:20:51,075
Saw what?
192
00:20:53,686 --> 00:20:56,298
He'd taken it out, his...
193
00:20:57,690 --> 00:20:59,692
...uh, his business,
right-right out,
194
00:20:59,866 --> 00:21:01,825
right out in the air.
195
00:21:02,869 --> 00:21:03,914
Um...
196
00:21:08,222 --> 00:21:10,268
And then he asked me to kiss it.
197
00:21:13,227 --> 00:21:14,533
What'd you do?
198
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,709
I said no;
I'm not that kind of girl.
199
00:21:16,883 --> 00:21:19,843
And he said "okay,"
and I walked right out.
200
00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:22,585
I'm from Lonoke.
My daddy was a preacher.
201
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,283
I am not going around to
Quality Management conferences
202
00:21:25,457 --> 00:21:27,241
- giving out oral sex.
- Okay.
203
00:21:27,416 --> 00:21:29,548
- Roger that.
- I am disgusted.
204
00:21:29,722 --> 00:21:32,812
I am upset
and I want an apology.
205
00:21:32,986 --> 00:21:36,903
W-Well, now, the magazine
was clever about
206
00:21:37,077 --> 00:21:38,644
- avoiding your last name.
- No,
207
00:21:38,818 --> 00:21:41,038
I want an apology from him.
208
00:21:41,212 --> 00:21:43,301
The president?
209
00:21:45,129 --> 00:21:49,220
And we'd like a role on
Designing Women for Steve.
210
00:21:49,394 --> 00:21:52,354
Yeah, I could be like a-a
love interest for Delta Burke.
211
00:21:52,528 --> 00:21:54,312
You know?
Maybe they could bring me back
212
00:21:54,486 --> 00:21:55,922
if the chemistry is good.
213
00:21:56,096 --> 00:21:58,751
I don't know if you saw
the film Mystery Train,
214
00:21:58,925 --> 00:22:00,710
but Steve played the role
of Elvis.
215
00:22:00,884 --> 00:22:03,756
He's a very talented actor
and we know that
216
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:05,976
the Clintons are friends with
the couple that make that show.
217
00:22:07,281 --> 00:22:09,849
Uh... o-okay.
218
00:22:10,023 --> 00:22:12,852
I suppose, uh, legally speaking,
219
00:22:13,026 --> 00:22:17,683
this is a, uh,
women's harassment scenario.
220
00:22:17,857 --> 00:22:18,771
That's right.
221
00:22:18,945 --> 00:22:22,514
So, can you help us?
222
00:22:24,081 --> 00:22:26,736
I ain't tough enough to sue the
president of the United States.
223
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:29,042
I'm gonna be honest with y'all
about that, but...
224
00:22:29,216 --> 00:22:32,132
maybe if we get
some attention on you,
225
00:22:32,306 --> 00:22:34,700
his people'll settle quick
to keep us quiet.
226
00:22:34,874 --> 00:22:36,833
You all right with
some attention?
227
00:22:45,581 --> 00:22:48,366
Bernie, this has ruined
his trip to the Ukraine.
228
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:50,890
It's the Ukraine-- what's the
best thing that could happen?
229
00:22:51,064 --> 00:22:52,892
Do you not see
that we're paralyzed?
230
00:22:53,066 --> 00:22:54,807
We can't pass a bill. We can't
even get a health care hearing.
231
00:22:54,981 --> 00:22:55,895
Come on, George.
232
00:22:56,069 --> 00:22:57,331
We have one way out of this
233
00:22:57,506 --> 00:22:59,551
and you're telling him
not to take it.
234
00:22:59,725 --> 00:23:01,466
I know you have an impressive
13 months of experience here
235
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,294
in town, but, George,
I lived through Watergate.
236
00:23:03,468 --> 00:23:04,556
Appointing an independent counsel
237
00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:06,297
is not a way out of anything.
238
00:23:06,471 --> 00:23:09,518
He did nothing wrong.
We appoint one and this is over
239
00:23:09,692 --> 00:23:11,433
- in six months.
No, we appoint one,
and that person
240
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:13,957
is under enormous pressure
to come up with something.
241
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:15,828
Whitewater will just be
the beginning.
242
00:23:16,002 --> 00:23:17,351
They can't just...
243
00:23:17,526 --> 00:23:19,136
They will not stop
until they find a crime.
244
00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:21,660
Do you understand?
They will not stop!
245
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:23,009
He appoints
an independent counsel,
246
00:23:23,183 --> 00:23:24,881
it destroys his presidency.
247
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:41,941
You hear that?
248
00:23:43,334 --> 00:23:46,555
If they appoint an independent
counsel, I will have to testify.
249
00:23:46,729 --> 00:23:47,947
You'll be okay.
250
00:23:48,121 --> 00:23:50,254
Oh, Kathleen,
I saw them moving files.
251
00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:51,951
So just say that.
252
00:23:52,125 --> 00:23:53,736
I'm in the eye of a hurricane.
253
00:23:55,259 --> 00:23:56,739
What are you doing?
254
00:23:56,913 --> 00:23:58,349
They told me to
restock the pens.
255
00:23:58,523 --> 00:24:01,091
Oh, God. Will you not just
ask the president
256
00:24:01,265 --> 00:24:03,659
- for a real job?
- I don't know him that well.
257
00:24:03,833 --> 00:24:05,748
- Oh...
- I'm just a donor's wife.
258
00:24:05,922 --> 00:24:08,707
Oh, please. Every Monday
I have to hear about
259
00:24:08,881 --> 00:24:11,318
how you talked to him
at some chichi fundraiser.
260
00:24:11,493 --> 00:24:13,843
While I've been sitting
home alone, watching paint dry.
261
00:24:14,017 --> 00:24:17,020
Well, we've discussed this.
You need to get back out there.
262
00:24:17,194 --> 00:24:19,413
Yeah, me at a singles bar.
They'll be lining up.
263
00:24:19,588 --> 00:24:21,285
- You're so hard on yourself.
- Well, I don't have time
264
00:24:21,459 --> 00:24:22,634
with all the chaos here.
265
00:24:22,808 --> 00:24:24,854
Bernie is a basket case,
I need a lawyer,
266
00:24:25,028 --> 00:24:26,943
and you will not believe
the meeting I just agreed to.
267
00:24:27,117 --> 00:24:28,510
What?
268
00:24:28,684 --> 00:24:30,337
Well, someone told me
that the best way
269
00:24:30,512 --> 00:24:32,383
to protect myself
is to write a book.
270
00:24:32,557 --> 00:24:35,386
Really? How exciting.
271
00:24:36,953 --> 00:24:39,390
It's strategic, Kathleen.
272
00:24:45,135 --> 00:24:49,356
I'm not going to that. Uh-uh.
My client has a book party.
273
00:24:49,531 --> 00:24:52,403
Besides, last time I was in
a room with Lady Bird Johnson,
274
00:24:52,577 --> 00:24:55,449
she tried to push me
down a flight of stairs. Ha!
275
00:24:55,624 --> 00:24:58,104
Did I say I didn't deserve it?
276
00:24:58,278 --> 00:24:59,410
Oh, gotta go.
277
00:24:59,584 --> 00:25:02,718
I think I see my 4:00.
278
00:25:03,762 --> 00:25:04,981
Ah.
279
00:25:06,983 --> 00:25:08,550
So...
280
00:25:11,596 --> 00:25:12,945
Was it murder?
281
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,121
Oh, no. I have no reason
to believe that.
282
00:25:15,295 --> 00:25:16,949
But he was
sleeping with Hillary.
283
00:25:17,123 --> 00:25:19,778
Vince Foster
was a faithful husband
284
00:25:19,952 --> 00:25:21,780
who tragically
committed suicide.
285
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:23,782
It was very sad.
286
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:27,569
Huh. You know,
sad doesn't sell books.
287
00:25:27,743 --> 00:25:30,180
I'm sorry, ma'am,
this is a nonsmoking section.
288
00:25:30,354 --> 00:25:32,312
Oh, fantastic.
289
00:25:32,486 --> 00:25:35,968
The whole earth is becoming
Berkeley, California.
290
00:25:36,142 --> 00:25:40,016
So, what can you give me?
291
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:42,192
Well...
292
00:25:43,715 --> 00:25:44,934
There's the president.
293
00:25:45,108 --> 00:25:46,892
- Let me guess.
294
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:48,459
There's this cute little blonde.
295
00:25:48,633 --> 00:25:50,722
She was a stewardess
on his campaign plane
296
00:25:50,896 --> 00:25:52,855
and it appears that
someone deemed that
297
00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:55,945
sufficient experience for a job
in the West Wing.
298
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,555
What's her name?
299
00:26:00,427 --> 00:26:02,255
If you're doing this, dear,
you're doing it.
300
00:26:02,429 --> 00:26:03,561
That means names.
301
00:26:03,735 --> 00:26:05,824
- I can use a pseudonym.
- Linda.
302
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:09,132
I sold Kitty Kelley books, till
she went fucking nuts on me.
303
00:26:09,306 --> 00:26:12,178
Worst client I ever had,
but she was big.
304
00:26:12,352 --> 00:26:15,878
Nancy Reagan, unauthorized;
Liz Taylor, unauthorized.
305
00:26:16,052 --> 00:26:21,187
Everyone read those.
Point is, I do big books.
306
00:26:21,361 --> 00:26:24,016
Some little anonymous something
that no one will care about?
307
00:26:24,190 --> 00:26:26,497
That's not why I'm here.
308
00:26:26,671 --> 00:26:30,936
What I Saw in the White House
by Linda Tripp.
309
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:33,417
That's why I'm here.
310
00:26:35,811 --> 00:26:38,509
- Thank you.
- My job in the West Wing
311
00:26:38,683 --> 00:26:40,642
is very important to me.
312
00:26:42,295 --> 00:26:43,906
There's real money on the table.
313
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,516
I'd be fired.
314
00:26:47,126 --> 00:26:48,606
I have two kids.
315
00:26:48,780 --> 00:26:51,087
I'm talking six figures
if you strike now.
316
00:26:52,566 --> 00:26:53,742
Think about it.
317
00:26:55,744 --> 00:26:58,181
Though you should know, you're
not my only meeting today.
318
00:26:58,355 --> 00:26:59,922
This week is CPAC.
319
00:27:00,096 --> 00:27:02,620
There's a whole horde
of Clinton haters in town
320
00:27:02,794 --> 00:27:04,013
and they've all got a book.
321
00:27:04,187 --> 00:27:05,797
Bimbos, ex-troopers.
322
00:27:05,971 --> 00:27:07,756
Half of Arkansas is here.
323
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:10,802
You might have noticed a certain
Kmart spirit in the air.
324
00:27:13,109 --> 00:27:16,068
I live like I got
nothing to lose, Linda.
325
00:27:16,242 --> 00:27:18,375
I recommend it.
326
00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:26,383
I've never even heard
of this CPAC.
327
00:27:26,557 --> 00:27:28,124
Oh, it's big.
328
00:27:28,298 --> 00:27:29,865
Each year they gather the best
conservative minds
329
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:32,694
in the country
to opine on the issues.
330
00:27:48,797 --> 00:27:50,276
Baby, did you
bring the credit card?
331
00:27:50,450 --> 00:27:53,323
- Why?
-'Cause we gotta buy
all this shit.
332
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:59,372
My client, Paula Jones,
has come to Washington today
333
00:27:59,546 --> 00:28:03,289
to share what really happened
on May 8, 1991,
334
00:28:03,463 --> 00:28:06,466
when Bill Clinton
interrupted her workday
335
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,468
and invited her
to a private room.
336
00:28:08,642 --> 00:28:10,819
Today I can reveal
that in that room,
337
00:28:10,993 --> 00:28:14,126
the governor made
unwanted sexual advances,
338
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,259
each of which
Mrs. Jones rebuffed.
339
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:18,087
Let me say,
340
00:28:18,261 --> 00:28:21,786
she is not here today to
satisfy any prurient interests.
341
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,266
Out of respect
for the first family
342
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,137
and for what Mrs. Jones
has been through,
343
00:28:25,311 --> 00:28:27,052
she will not be getting
into any descriptions
344
00:28:27,226 --> 00:28:29,228
of what happened in the room.
345
00:28:29,402 --> 00:28:30,490
- What?
- Wait a minute.
346
00:28:30,664 --> 00:28:31,970
- What?
- What are we here for?
347
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:33,145
Now I open
the floor to questions.
348
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:34,625
What happened?
349
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:36,801
Did you have
anything to drink?
350
00:28:36,975 --> 00:28:39,412
One at a time, please.
351
00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:43,242
Why did you wait
to come forward?
352
00:28:43,416 --> 00:28:45,288
Did you have anything to drink?
353
00:28:45,462 --> 00:28:46,768
- Did you have a good time
with him?
354
00:28:46,942 --> 00:28:48,030
What happened in that room?
I mean,
355
00:28:48,204 --> 00:28:49,379
that's what we're here for,
right?
356
00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:51,120
Was there touching?
357
00:28:51,294 --> 00:28:54,427
- What did the governor do?
- Bill Clinton...
358
00:28:55,646 --> 00:28:59,868
...presented himself to me in
a very unprofessional manner.
359
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:04,002
I would call it...
sexual harassment.
360
00:29:04,176 --> 00:29:05,656
Did he touch you?
361
00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:08,615
I will leave that-- I-I will
not speak on that.
362
00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:10,313
Did he expose himself?
363
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:13,142
- I can't speak on that.
- Well, what can you tell us?
364
00:29:17,407 --> 00:29:20,323
It is wrong that...
365
00:29:20,497 --> 00:29:22,368
a woman can't not--
366
00:29:22,542 --> 00:29:24,893
a woman can't
work in the workplace,
367
00:29:25,067 --> 00:29:27,069
be harassed, um...
368
00:29:27,243 --> 00:29:28,722
by a figure that high.
369
00:29:28,897 --> 00:29:30,855
You say workplace,
370
00:29:31,029 --> 00:29:33,684
but you and the governor were in
a private hotel room, correct?
371
00:29:35,077 --> 00:29:37,079
Why did you agree
to go up there?
372
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:39,385
I just thought the governor
wants to see me.
373
00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:40,865
That-That's an honor.
374
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:47,350
So you expected what?
A meeting on state affairs?
375
00:29:51,963 --> 00:29:54,400
Well, I don't know,
but I-I know that he shouldn't
376
00:29:54,574 --> 00:29:56,576
have brought me up there
for that and he needs
377
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:59,492
to apologize
for-for what he did.
378
00:29:59,666 --> 00:30:01,755
You still haven't
said what he did.
379
00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:05,281
He asked you to have sex
with him, yes?
380
00:30:07,849 --> 00:30:10,590
- A type of sex.
- Uh, what type?
381
00:30:10,764 --> 00:30:14,246
Just so I understand,
we've all been called here
382
00:30:14,420 --> 00:30:15,900
to this big press conference
about something
383
00:30:16,074 --> 00:30:17,554
Bill Clinton did to her,
384
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:20,339
but she basically won't say
a single thing he did.
385
00:30:20,513 --> 00:30:24,517
I-I appreciate your concern,
but as I said,
386
00:30:24,691 --> 00:30:26,780
Paula is not going to be
giving a blow-by-blow.
387
00:30:26,955 --> 00:30:28,608
- Okay. Come on, now.
388
00:30:28,782 --> 00:30:31,524
All right, all right, enough,
enough; I have a question.
389
00:30:31,698 --> 00:30:34,049
This sexual act he wanted,
390
00:30:34,223 --> 00:30:37,922
was it something
that you could perform
391
00:30:38,096 --> 00:30:40,620
without taking your clothes off?
392
00:30:40,794 --> 00:30:42,622
- We're not getting into that.
393
00:30:42,796 --> 00:30:44,189
- Last few questions.
Did he expose himself?
394
00:30:44,363 --> 00:30:45,364
- Who paid your way here?
- Did you vote for him?
395
00:30:45,538 --> 00:30:47,105
One at a time.
396
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,064
I'll just be direct.
397
00:30:49,238 --> 00:30:52,894
Did the governor ask you
to perform fellatio?
398
00:30:56,201 --> 00:30:58,682
Um, what is fellatio?
399
00:31:00,379 --> 00:31:02,294
- Okay, no more questions.
- Unbelievable.
400
00:31:02,468 --> 00:31:04,906
- Hold on a second.
401
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,170
Wow. Nothing. Nothing.
All right, then.

I did what you said.
412
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:50,255
- I asked Bill for a job.
- And?
413
00:31:50,429 --> 00:31:52,127
And he kissed me.
414
00:31:56,044 --> 00:31:57,349
What did you do?
415
00:31:57,523 --> 00:31:59,699
It happened so fast.
Suddenly his aide
416
00:31:59,873 --> 00:32:01,832
was knocking on the door
we were up against.
417
00:32:02,006 --> 00:32:04,835
- Kathleen.
- And then it-it stopped
and I-I rushed out.

Linda.

I need to speak with you.
420
00:32:17,282 --> 00:32:19,371
I'm handing in my resignation
421
00:32:19,545 --> 00:32:21,504
and I wanted to
let you know that.
422
00:32:24,898 --> 00:32:26,857
What's going to happen to me?
423
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:31,340
I don't know.
424
00:32:42,525 --> 00:32:46,050
...presented himself to me in
a very unprofessional manner.
425
00:32:46,224 --> 00:32:50,054
I would call it...
sexual harassment.
426
00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:51,925
- Oh, dear.
Did he touch you?
427
00:32:53,884 --> 00:32:56,104
I will not speak on that.
428
00:32:56,278 --> 00:32:58,584
Did he expose himself?
- I can't speak on that.
429
00:32:58,758 --> 00:33:01,500
- Coulter, who sent you this?
- George Conway.
430
00:33:01,674 --> 00:33:03,198
You think she could be the one?
431
00:33:03,372 --> 00:33:05,678
- Certainly needs media training.
- Don't care about media.
432
00:33:05,852 --> 00:33:07,376
Just need her to sue.
433
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:09,160
We want him under oath.
434
00:33:09,334 --> 00:33:10,422
Why?
435
00:33:10,596 --> 00:33:11,467
...in the workplace...
436
00:33:11,641 --> 00:33:13,382
Because he's Bill Clinton.
437
00:33:13,556 --> 00:33:15,123
He'll lie.
438
00:33:15,297 --> 00:33:16,863
You say workplace,
439
00:33:17,038 --> 00:33:18,256
but you and the governor
were in a private...
440
00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:21,216
- Who is she working with?
- That guy.
441
00:33:21,390 --> 00:33:24,001
I just thought the
governor wants to see me.
442
00:33:24,175 --> 00:33:26,264
Let's get her some real lawyers.
443
00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:34,620
we have direct relationships
444
00:33:34,794 --> 00:33:36,231
with the president's lawyers.
445
00:33:36,405 --> 00:33:37,928
We're going to get you
your apology.
446
00:33:39,669 --> 00:33:41,453
We can't tell you how much
we appreciate y'all
447
00:33:41,627 --> 00:33:43,020
reaching out to take this over.
448
00:33:43,194 --> 00:33:44,543
Happy to help.
449
00:33:44,717 --> 00:33:46,415
Now, I have to tell you,
450
00:33:46,589 --> 00:33:48,591
they may not want to do this
the easy way.
451
00:33:48,765 --> 00:33:52,073
In that case, we should be ready
to go down a different path.
452
00:33:53,683 --> 00:33:56,207
- What kind of path?
- Your sexual harassment claim
453
00:33:56,381 --> 00:33:58,688
has a three-year
statute of limitations.
454
00:33:58,862 --> 00:34:01,908
That's this Friday,
which means you have about
455
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:04,259
80 hours left
to sue the president.
456
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:08,089
Well, but I just
want an apology.
457
00:34:08,263 --> 00:34:11,266
I know. I think, to get one,
458
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,268
you might have
to file a lawsuit.
459
00:34:13,442 --> 00:34:14,443
We're not afraid of that.
460
00:34:15,748 --> 00:34:20,710
Look, if they're smart,
they'll settle.
461
00:34:23,713 --> 00:34:26,629
Before we talk to them,
anything else we should know?
462
00:34:26,803 --> 00:34:29,893
I think Paula has been
plenty open with us.
463
00:34:30,067 --> 00:34:33,810
Oh, yeah, just-just curious
if there's anything else.
464
00:34:35,203 --> 00:34:36,465
Like what?
465
00:34:39,772 --> 00:34:43,211
I can draw it, his...
466
00:34:43,385 --> 00:34:44,647
area.
467
00:35:35,393 --> 00:35:37,787
It takes a dramatic turn.
468
00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:56,109
I have an idea
about my situation.
469
00:35:56,284 --> 00:35:59,417
You want a job;
I want to keep my job;
470
00:35:59,591 --> 00:36:03,378
you have connections; I have
experience-- so how about this?
471
00:36:03,552 --> 00:36:05,293
You get us a meeting
with the incoming
472
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:08,513
White House counsel and
I tell them to hire us both.
473
00:36:08,687 --> 00:36:10,472
Package deal.
474
00:36:11,516 --> 00:36:13,605
Oh. That's a neat idea.
475
00:36:20,090 --> 00:36:22,440
My secretary Cheryl
476
00:36:22,614 --> 00:36:25,138
tells me that
you'd like to stay on
477
00:36:25,313 --> 00:36:27,750
in the counsel's office
after we take over.
478
00:36:27,924 --> 00:36:29,534
Is that correct?
479
00:36:29,708 --> 00:36:30,883
I bet it's been wonderful
480
00:36:31,057 --> 00:36:32,537
working for dear
Bernie Nussbaum.
481
00:36:32,711 --> 00:36:34,713
Mr. Cutler, first of all,
let me say thank you
482
00:36:34,887 --> 00:36:35,975
for meeting with us.
483
00:36:36,149 --> 00:36:37,629
Now, a little bit about me.
484
00:36:37,803 --> 00:36:39,849
I'm a multi-decade veteran
485
00:36:40,023 --> 00:36:41,807
of the civil service, having
worked at the highest levels
486
00:36:41,981 --> 00:36:45,333
of the executive and military,
including a stint at Fort Bragg,
487
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:48,640
during which I had top secret
clearance working for a division
488
00:36:48,814 --> 00:36:51,164
of the Army so classified,
it technically doesn't exist.
489
00:36:51,339 --> 00:36:53,341
So Delta Force.
490
00:36:55,168 --> 00:36:57,214
I can neither confirm nor deny.
491
00:36:58,215 --> 00:37:00,696
- But what I can say is this,
492
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:03,525
Kathleen and I will ensure
that the counsel's office
493
00:37:03,699 --> 00:37:07,311
undergoes a seamless changeover
from Mr. Nussbaum to you.
494
00:37:07,485 --> 00:37:09,444
Why is it you want to stay?
495
00:37:09,618 --> 00:37:13,839
Well, we feel-- we both feel
that we can be very helpful.
496
00:37:14,013 --> 00:37:16,451
We possess
institutional knowledge.
497
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:18,061
I was speaking
to my former colleague
498
00:37:18,235 --> 00:37:20,063
James Schaefer recently.
499
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:21,717
I'm sure you know James.
500
00:37:23,936 --> 00:37:27,200
Well, under President Bush,
James was special assistant
501
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:29,638
to the deputy assistant
for Public Liaison,
502
00:37:29,812 --> 00:37:32,771
working alongside
my dear friend Tony Snow,
503
00:37:32,945 --> 00:37:35,339
with whom I imagine
you are familiar.
504
00:37:35,513 --> 00:37:38,429
Tony Snow from Rush Limbaugh?
505
00:37:39,778 --> 00:37:42,868
James pointed out that
one of my strengths
506
00:37:43,042 --> 00:37:45,218
is my high level of comfort
in the West Wing environment.
507
00:37:45,393 --> 00:37:48,570
I can help you navigate
the, uh, complex,
508
00:37:48,744 --> 00:37:50,876
difficult personalities
of this administration--
509
00:37:51,050 --> 00:37:53,531
and fingers crossed-- we'll have
a little less turbulence
510
00:37:53,705 --> 00:37:54,924
under your leadership.
511
00:37:55,098 --> 00:37:57,318
I don't know if you know
Mr. Nussbaum,
512
00:37:57,492 --> 00:38:00,582
but he's not always
the most organized.
513
00:38:04,063 --> 00:38:06,370
Bernie's a wonderful lawyer.
514
00:38:06,544 --> 00:38:08,720
Oh, of course, absolutely.
515
00:38:08,894 --> 00:38:10,983
I always thought he was so nice.
516
00:38:11,157 --> 00:38:12,724
Kathleen would drop in
to our suite on occasion.
517
00:38:12,898 --> 00:38:16,728
Oh, Lloyd, we should get back.
You have that call.
518
00:38:16,902 --> 00:38:20,036
- Sorry to have to wrap up.
- Uh, not at all.
519
00:38:20,210 --> 00:38:22,473
Is there anything else that
would be helpful to know?
520
00:38:22,647 --> 00:38:25,607
We'll certainly do our best.
521
00:38:34,877 --> 00:38:39,055
That you'd made a drawing
or the president's genital area
522
00:38:39,229 --> 00:38:41,579
certainly gave his lawyers pause.
523
00:38:41,753 --> 00:38:43,538
Very helpful.
524
00:38:45,975 --> 00:38:51,023
But ultimately, talking to them
even late into last night,
525
00:38:51,197 --> 00:38:53,243
we can't come to terms.
526
00:38:58,683 --> 00:39:03,253
So, Paula, we're down to
our last few hours.
527
00:39:03,427 --> 00:39:05,124
You have a decision to make.
528
00:39:05,298 --> 00:39:08,606
Is there anything in your past
you don't want coming out?
529
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:12,175
Anything at all?
Because it will.
530
00:39:13,437 --> 00:39:14,743
There's nothing.
531
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:23,708
Baby girl.
532
00:39:23,882 --> 00:39:25,928
I love you.
533
00:39:36,025 --> 00:39:37,287
I love you, too.
534
00:39:47,166 --> 00:39:49,299
I can't let him
get away with it.
535
00:39:49,473 --> 00:39:53,608
Today we filed a complaint with
the United States District Court
536
00:39:53,782 --> 00:39:57,133
on behalf of Paula Corbin Jones,
537
00:39:57,307 --> 00:40:00,919
charging William Clinton with
sexual harassment and violation
538
00:40:01,093 --> 00:40:03,835
of her equal protection
and due process rights.
539
00:40:04,009 --> 00:40:06,447
This case will be tried
in the courtroom
540
00:40:06,621 --> 00:40:08,971
and not in the media.
Thank you.
541
00:40:09,145 --> 00:40:11,321
You're two distinguished D.C.
lawyers-- who connected you
542
00:40:11,495 --> 00:40:12,888
to Paula Jones?
543
00:40:13,062 --> 00:40:15,543
How did you end up here
in Arkansas?
544
00:40:15,717 --> 00:40:17,588
We took a plane.
545
00:40:18,589 --> 00:40:20,504
What is your next step? What are
you expecting the president
546
00:40:20,678 --> 00:40:21,723
- to say?
Sir!
547
00:40:34,431 --> 00:40:37,608
What is this?
Where's Leslie?
548
00:40:37,782 --> 00:40:40,437
You just missed her.
She left early.
549
00:40:44,789 --> 00:40:46,574
- Leslie.
- Oh.
550
00:40:46,748 --> 00:40:49,577
- Linda, you scared me.
- What is this?
551
00:40:49,751 --> 00:40:52,493
- It's a promotion.
- It's the Pentagon.
552
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:54,407
I've been in this system
22 years.
553
00:40:54,582 --> 00:40:57,759
Moving from the White House to
the Pentagon is not a promotion.
554
00:40:57,933 --> 00:41:01,240
It's a $20,000-a-year raise
and you'll be in Public Affairs.
555
00:41:01,414 --> 00:41:03,329
You'll be putting this on hold
while I get to the bottom of it.
556
00:41:03,504 --> 00:41:04,722
I need to speak
to Lloyd Cutler again.
557
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:06,419
If this is about Kathleen,
558
00:41:06,594 --> 00:41:08,160
she's just shifting
from volunteer
559
00:41:08,334 --> 00:41:10,206
to an entry-level position.
560
00:41:11,207 --> 00:41:12,513
Kathleen?
561
00:41:14,427 --> 00:41:16,865
- What do you mean shifting?
562
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:19,215
Kathleen will be working
in counsel's office
563
00:41:19,389 --> 00:41:20,477
under Lloyd Cutler.
564
00:41:20,651 --> 00:41:21,696
In my job?!
565
00:41:21,870 --> 00:41:23,088
Well, no, not your...
566
00:41:23,262 --> 00:41:24,568
I mean, I'm being sent
to Siberia.
567
00:41:24,742 --> 00:41:26,222
It's about three miles away.
568
00:41:26,396 --> 00:41:28,093
A-And Kathleen, who has
the secretarial experience
569
00:41:28,267 --> 00:41:29,268
of a radish...
570
00:41:29,442 --> 00:41:31,619
It's an entry-level position.
571
00:41:40,279 --> 00:41:42,934
Leslie. You know
what I've always thought?
572
00:41:43,108 --> 00:41:44,849
You're about as sharp
as a marble,
573
00:41:45,023 --> 00:41:46,372
so you go ahead and drive home.
574
00:41:46,547 --> 00:41:49,985
I'm going up to the OEOB
to talk to your superior
575
00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:51,856
because something very wrong
has happened here.
576
00:41:52,030 --> 00:41:54,424
Linda, we tried to keep you.
577
00:41:54,598 --> 00:41:56,731
We went out of our way.
578
00:41:56,905 --> 00:41:58,994
We asked all around
the White House.
579
00:42:00,169 --> 00:42:02,519
No one wants you here.
580
00:42:32,027 --> 00:42:33,028
Can we talk?
581
00:42:34,899 --> 00:42:37,641
- Linda, please...
- You know, I was a good soldier.
582
00:42:37,815 --> 00:42:40,557
When the election happened
and these people showed up
583
00:42:40,731 --> 00:42:43,081
with their total lack
of respect for this institution
584
00:42:43,255 --> 00:42:44,822
and their obvious contempt
for half the country.
585
00:42:44,996 --> 00:42:46,868
Through everything-- the sleaze,
586
00:42:47,042 --> 00:42:50,567
the pizza parties on casual
Fridays-- I bit my tongue
587
00:42:50,741 --> 00:42:52,090
and did my job
588
00:42:52,264 --> 00:42:54,092
as a civil servant
who was foolish enough
589
00:42:54,266 --> 00:42:56,529
to believe that
my sterling reputation
590
00:42:56,704 --> 00:42:59,881
for professionalism
and integrity still mattered.
591
00:43:00,055 --> 00:43:02,971
Linda, you have to know
that I feel awful.
592
00:43:04,189 --> 00:43:07,018
I thought we were women
supporting each other.
593
00:43:07,192 --> 00:43:10,543
I was trying to help you and
then I walked into that meeting
594
00:43:10,718 --> 00:43:13,982
with my job and you walked out
with it right under my nose.
595
00:43:14,156 --> 00:43:16,201
It wasn't up to me.
596
00:43:16,375 --> 00:43:17,855
Oh, do me the favor
of respecting
597
00:43:18,029 --> 00:43:19,552
- my intelligence.
- Linda.
598
00:43:19,727 --> 00:43:21,337
They can pay me a fraction
of what they pay you.
599
00:43:21,511 --> 00:43:23,556
No one is auditing
the White House
600
00:43:23,731 --> 00:43:25,602
secretarial budget, Kathleen.
601
00:43:25,776 --> 00:43:28,823
It's the federal government.
The stapler cost $200.
602
00:43:28,997 --> 00:43:30,955
You know how I know that?
Because I paid my dues.
603
00:43:31,129 --> 00:43:33,175
I'm not here because
I married a rich guy.
604
00:43:34,698 --> 00:43:37,179
- Okay. Okay.
- Of course, that's not what
got you my job, is it?
605
00:43:37,353 --> 00:43:40,748
No, we all know why I'm being
fired and you get to stay.
606
00:43:40,922 --> 00:43:44,534
- Linda...
- You got my job because
the president wants you around.
607
00:43:44,708 --> 00:43:47,015
You know that and I know that.
608
00:43:47,189 --> 00:43:49,539
In fact, the president knows
I know a lot.
609
00:43:54,587 --> 00:43:58,853
The president
has no idea who you are!
610
00:44:14,564 --> 00:44:16,566
I will get you for this.
611
00:44:52,689 --> 00:44:55,126
Tripp. Linda.
612
00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:57,520
Let me take you to
your work station.
613
00:45:19,803 --> 00:45:21,457
Can I have a word?
614
00:45:24,503 --> 00:45:26,549
As you know,
I have been transferred
615
00:45:26,723 --> 00:45:29,073
from a high-level position
in the West Wing.
616
00:45:30,205 --> 00:45:33,251
I'll be blunt-- I know
too much about Whitewater.
617
00:45:33,425 --> 00:45:35,514
It's a near certainty
I'll be called to testify.
618
00:45:35,688 --> 00:45:38,604
I need a private office
so I can prepare.
619
00:45:38,779 --> 00:45:41,782
- Oh. I see.
620
00:45:41,956 --> 00:45:43,044
No.
621
00:46:08,025 --> 00:46:09,984
Hello, Nancy.
622
00:46:10,158 --> 00:46:11,768
It's Linda Tripp.
623
00:46:12,856 --> 00:46:14,379
Allison's mom.
624
00:46:15,728 --> 00:46:17,339
Listen, I'm not going
to be able to do
625
00:46:17,513 --> 00:46:18,862
that carpool switch, after all.
626
00:46:19,036 --> 00:46:20,211
I'm contending
with the new commute,
627
00:46:20,385 --> 00:46:22,083
and it's an absolute debacle.
628
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,437
All right.
Thank you so much.
629
00:46:28,611 --> 00:46:30,526
Bye-bye now.
630
00:46:30,700 --> 00:46:35,096
Please don't listen to my calls.
It's tremendously inappropriate.
631
00:47:11,915 --> 00:47:13,351
Can I help you?
632
00:47:14,483 --> 00:47:17,529
Pardon me, sorry; I'm looking
for Assistant Secretary Bacon.
633
00:47:17,703 --> 00:47:19,096
You must be Monica.
634
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:21,533
- Hi, I'm Willie.
- Hi.
635
00:47:21,707 --> 00:47:23,884
- Let me get you all set up.
- Thank you.
636
00:47:33,241 --> 00:47:36,374
That's Mr. Bacon's office.
He'll be in soon.
637
00:47:36,548 --> 00:47:38,246
Just got back from Bosnia
last night.
638
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:41,640
- You can set up right here.
- Thank you so much.
639
00:47:41,814 --> 00:47:44,426
I'm happy to get started
on anything Mr. Bacon needs.
640
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,298
Why don't you dig into these
SOP books while you're waiting.
641
00:47:47,472 --> 00:47:49,257
Welcome to
the Department of Defense.
642
00:48:21,071 --> 00:48:22,333
Next in line.
643
00:48:31,995 --> 00:48:34,171
God, what is that smell?
644
00:48:36,173 --> 00:48:38,349
Is anyone else smelling that?
645
00:48:38,523 --> 00:48:40,743
They're doing
electrical work, Linda.
646
00:49:02,591 --> 00:49:04,375
I can hear you chewing.
647
00:49:04,549 --> 00:49:06,247
This is how I chew.
648
00:49:32,577 --> 00:49:33,665
What now, Linda?
649
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:36,103
There are fumes in my cubicle.
650
00:49:36,277 --> 00:49:38,235
It's an insurmountable
distraction.
651
00:49:38,409 --> 00:49:40,368
Uh-huh.
652
00:49:42,631 --> 00:49:44,546
Only till Harold's back Tuesday.
653
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,027
Send FSD to set up my computer.
654
00:50:16,491 --> 00:50:18,275
Office of Lucianne Goldberg.
655
00:50:18,449 --> 00:50:19,972
Who, may I ask, is calling?
656
00:50:20,147 --> 00:50:23,628
Uh, this is the civil servant.
657
00:50:23,802 --> 00:50:25,935
From the White House
Counsel's Office.
658
00:50:26,979 --> 00:50:28,633
She'll know who it is.
659
00:50:28,807 --> 00:50:31,636
Linda, it's me.
660
00:50:31,810 --> 00:50:33,769
My new secretary was a disaster.
661
00:50:33,943 --> 00:50:35,858
I fired her an hour ago.
662
00:50:36,032 --> 00:50:38,904
So, long time, no speak.
663
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:41,298
What could possibly be going on?
664
00:50:41,472 --> 00:50:44,040
I'm ready to write the book.
665
00:50:44,214 --> 00:50:47,478
About my time
in the White House.
666
00:50:47,652 --> 00:50:50,220
Dear, it brings me
no pleasure to say this,
667
00:50:50,394 --> 00:50:52,353
but you missed the moment.
668
00:50:52,527 --> 00:50:54,659
Everyone's done
their Clinton book.
669
00:50:54,833 --> 00:50:57,923
Every staffer, every aide,
every Appalachian broad
670
00:50:58,098 --> 00:51:01,101
in whom he deposited
his genetic material.
671
00:51:01,275 --> 00:51:04,452
That genre alone could fill
half a Barnes & Noble.
672
00:51:04,626 --> 00:51:09,152
Well, no one's done anything
of any substance about Vince.
673
00:51:09,326 --> 00:51:12,851
Vince? Vince Foster?
Linda, no one cares anymore.
674
00:51:13,025 --> 00:51:15,158
I can sell almost anything,
675
00:51:15,332 --> 00:51:17,813
but I can't sell
stale White House gossip;
676
00:51:17,987 --> 00:51:19,902
that market's so saturated.
677
00:51:20,076 --> 00:51:21,556
-I need something...
- Something current.
678
00:51:21,730 --> 00:51:22,557
Not just current.
679
00:51:22,731 --> 00:51:24,080
Current and inside.
680
00:51:24,254 --> 00:51:26,126
And I mean inside inside.
681
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:28,650
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
682
00:51:28,824 --> 00:51:31,566
but that is not you
at this point.
683
00:52:05,643 --> 00:52:08,429
Carl, this isn't right.
684
00:52:08,603 --> 00:52:12,041
I need the number for
the admiral's flag aide.
685
00:52:12,215 --> 00:52:13,869
Goddamn it.
686
00:52:14,913 --> 00:52:17,046
Carl, did you hear me?
687
00:52:17,220 --> 00:52:19,353
I love your poster.
688
00:52:21,572 --> 00:52:23,574
Oh, well, this isn't my office.
689
00:52:23,748 --> 00:52:25,968
There are fumes in my cubicle.
690
00:52:31,452 --> 00:52:32,975
What's happening?
691
00:52:34,411 --> 00:52:35,673
Do you work here?
692
00:52:35,847 --> 00:52:38,372
Oh, um, yeah.
693
00:52:38,546 --> 00:52:41,026
Uh, temporarily.
694
00:52:41,201 --> 00:52:42,637
I'm Monica.
695
00:52:42,811 --> 00:52:44,465
I just got transferred
from the White House.
696
00:52:47,119 --> 00:52:48,773
Where in the White House?
697
00:52:48,947 --> 00:52:51,036
Kind of all over--
East Wing, West Wing.
698
00:52:51,211 --> 00:52:52,908
I started as an intern
and then I got hired
699
00:52:53,082 --> 00:52:54,823
by Legislative Affairs.
700
00:53:01,046 --> 00:53:02,657
We're out of creamer.
701
00:53:05,442 --> 00:53:08,053
You must be someone's pet rock.
702
00:53:08,228 --> 00:53:09,707
- What's a pet rock?
- It just means
703
00:53:09,881 --> 00:53:11,796
somebody in the White House
is looking out for you.
704
00:53:11,970 --> 00:53:13,711
It doesn't feel like it.
705
00:53:13,885 --> 00:53:15,452
Confidential assistant
to the assistant secretary.
706
00:53:15,626 --> 00:53:17,454
And you're so young.
707
00:53:17,628 --> 00:53:18,760
I'm about to turn 23.
708
00:53:18,934 --> 00:53:20,892
- That's not young?
- Not to me.
709
00:53:21,066 --> 00:53:22,416
Oh, God, of course not.
Look at you.
710
00:53:22,590 --> 00:53:24,461
You have the life experience
of a zygote.
711
00:53:24,635 --> 00:53:27,247
Just know, not a few people
in that office covet your job.
712
00:53:27,421 --> 00:53:30,815
Well, they can have it.
I'm going back in a few months.
713
00:53:30,989 --> 00:53:34,341
- To the White House?
- Not like it was my idea.
714
00:53:34,515 --> 00:53:36,691
Why did they transfer you?
715
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,000
Um, I don't know.
It's a whole thing.
716
00:53:43,263 --> 00:53:45,482
I just wish I'd brought
from home.
717
00:53:45,656 --> 00:53:48,050
Weight Watchers makes these
amazing meals you can microwave.
718
00:53:48,224 --> 00:53:50,182
Oh, I have seen those
at Safeway.
719
00:53:50,357 --> 00:53:52,315
They're low-fat, so you don't
want to kill yourself later.
720
00:53:52,489 --> 00:53:53,969
- Oh, like you need to worry.
- Are you kidding?
721
00:53:54,143 --> 00:53:55,666
- You're gorgeous.
- Ugh.
722
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,059
Not in Beverly Hills.
723
00:53:57,233 --> 00:53:58,756
Second grade,
they called me Big Mac.
724
00:53:58,930 --> 00:54:01,542
My high school,
they called me Gus.
725
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:03,979
Gus?
726
00:54:04,153 --> 00:54:06,764
Why? What does that mean?
727
00:54:06,938 --> 00:54:10,638
I don't know.
Nobody ever explained.
728
00:54:12,683 --> 00:54:14,555
Well, joke's on them, Linda.
729
00:54:14,729 --> 00:54:16,600
Look at us.
We're on top of the world.
730
00:54:16,774 --> 00:54:19,690
- Oh, just kidding.
731
00:54:19,864 --> 00:54:21,866
I cried myself to sleep
every night this week.
732
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,303
I don't want to be here.
733
00:54:23,477 --> 00:54:25,392
No one wants to be here,
but listen,
734
00:54:25,566 --> 00:54:29,526
if I can put on my wisdom hat,
you said this was temporary.
735
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:32,050
You know?
I can tell you're very bright.
736
00:54:32,224 --> 00:54:34,401
- So bright, I got myself exiled.
- Temporarily.
737
00:54:34,575 --> 00:54:36,577
You can endure anything
knowing it has an end.
738
00:54:36,751 --> 00:54:38,709
I know there's nowhere
like the West Wing.
739
00:54:38,883 --> 00:54:41,538
Believe me, I know.
740
00:54:41,712 --> 00:54:43,540
Where were you
when you were there?
741
00:54:43,714 --> 00:54:45,586
My last stop was
the counsel's office.
742
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,414
We touched everything
at a very high level.
743
00:54:47,588 --> 00:54:50,068
I was the last person
to see Vince Foster alive.
744
00:54:50,242 --> 00:54:52,201
- Oh, wow.
- Before that,
745
00:54:52,375 --> 00:54:54,899
during Bush, I was on a desk
right outside the Oval.
746
00:54:55,073 --> 00:54:56,510
Why was I sent
to the counsel's office?
747
00:54:56,684 --> 00:54:58,512
Well, back in '93,
I was very trim.
748
00:54:58,686 --> 00:55:00,383
I have reason to believe
that Hillary didn't want me
749
00:55:00,557 --> 00:55:03,255
near the president,
if you know what I mean.
750
00:55:03,430 --> 00:55:05,432
Of course, nothing was worse
than the day I was sent here.
751
00:55:05,606 --> 00:55:08,086
Stabbed in the back by
a fair-weather friend.
752
00:55:08,260 --> 00:55:10,567
I won't say more.
753
00:55:10,741 --> 00:55:12,134
Sounds awful.
754
00:55:12,308 --> 00:55:14,179
It was.
755
00:55:14,354 --> 00:55:16,965
It was.
Loyalty is very important to me.
756
00:55:17,139 --> 00:55:20,534
Fair-weather or not, I miss
having friends in Washington.
757
00:55:20,708 --> 00:55:22,623
Most of my intern class
left town
758
00:55:22,797 --> 00:55:26,627
when they weren't hired
and D.C. gets lonely fast.
759
00:55:26,801 --> 00:55:30,065
Well, now you and I
can be miserable together.
760
00:55:32,197 --> 00:55:35,723
Although, have to say,
you're such a knockout,
761
00:55:35,897 --> 00:55:38,508
I just assumed you'd be
dating some big D.C. player.
762
00:55:38,682 --> 00:55:40,597
- Ah...
- What?
763
00:55:40,771 --> 00:55:43,078
- I'm not dating.
- Why not?
764
00:55:44,819 --> 00:55:46,168
I'm kind of in something.
765
00:55:46,342 --> 00:55:48,083
And yet you feel lonely.
766
00:55:48,257 --> 00:55:49,693
Yes, affirmative.
767
00:55:49,867 --> 00:55:51,652
Well, that's no good.
768
00:55:53,697 --> 00:55:55,351
Tell me about him.
769
00:55:56,570 --> 00:56:00,791
It's, uh, it's just he's,
um, unavailable.
770
00:56:00,965 --> 00:56:02,663
Someone long-distance.
771
00:56:03,707 --> 00:56:05,100
Someone from work.
772
00:56:07,537 --> 00:56:09,191
Someone important?
773
00:56:11,541 --> 00:56:14,196
Is that why they sent you here?
774
00:56:15,806 --> 00:56:17,591
We should get back, right?
775
00:56:17,765 --> 00:56:19,462
Let me let you in
on a little secret.
776
00:56:19,636 --> 00:56:21,812
- Mm, tell me.
- That's Stephen.
777
00:56:21,986 --> 00:56:24,598
Some major
custody battle going on.
778
00:56:24,772 --> 00:56:27,644
Willie is a schmuck.
He's completely ineffective.
779
00:56:27,818 --> 00:56:29,080
Hi, Brenda.
780
00:56:30,212 --> 00:56:33,607
She's going to loathe you since
you're pretty and connected.
781
00:56:33,781 --> 00:56:34,999
That's Colleen.
782
00:56:35,173 --> 00:56:36,697
Apparently,
she's got the herps--
783
00:56:36,871 --> 00:56:38,176
both upstairs and down.
And you know what?
784
00:56:38,350 --> 00:56:39,874
She's also from Los Angeles.
785
00:56:40,048 --> 00:56:41,353
- Oh, really? Where?
- I think she said Glendale.
786
00:56:41,528 --> 00:56:44,139
- Is that it?
- Glendale's never it.
787
00:56:45,357 --> 00:56:46,968
Okay, now that's Susan,
my cubicle mate.
788
00:56:47,142 --> 00:56:48,491
She's sick.
789
00:56:48,665 --> 00:56:50,711
- Oh, no.
- No, I-I mean she's deranged.
790
00:56:50,885 --> 00:56:53,148
Don't make eye contact.
Monica, don't.
791
00:56:53,322 --> 00:56:55,411
Okay, this is me.
792
00:56:55,585 --> 00:56:57,369
Oh. Well, you know where I am.
793
00:56:57,544 --> 00:56:59,110
Almost neighbors.
794
00:56:59,284 --> 00:57:00,808
I should really get back to it.
795
00:57:00,982 --> 00:57:03,288
Look at all the rules
they have about printers.
796
00:57:03,463 --> 00:57:05,595
Look at you, busy bee.
797
00:57:05,769 --> 00:57:07,815
What are you doing
on your calendar?
798
00:57:07,989 --> 00:57:09,207
Oh...
799
00:57:09,381 --> 00:57:10,731
I-I'm insane.
800
00:57:22,220 --> 00:57:23,483
It's a countdown.
801
00:57:28,705 --> 00:57:30,402
That's when you go back.
802
00:57:31,665 --> 00:57:33,057
I have been
dreading this so much,
803
00:57:33,231 --> 00:57:35,582
but I feel so much better
after today.
804
00:57:36,626 --> 00:57:38,672
You know,
805
00:57:38,846 --> 00:57:42,545
I have always wanted to try
the, um, after-work specials
806
00:57:42,719 --> 00:57:45,983
over by Pentagon City.
You want to get a drink?
807
00:57:46,157 --> 00:57:48,203
I can't tonight. Maybe Monday?
808
00:57:49,204 --> 00:57:51,032
Sure.
809
00:57:51,206 --> 00:57:52,686
It's a date.
810
00:58:58,273 --> 00:58:59,927
What you got?
811
00:59:00,101 --> 00:59:03,147
What's your definition
of inside inside?
812
00:59:05,889 --> 00:59:07,456
- Hello?
Hey.
813
00:59:09,806 --> 00:59:11,460
Hi, handsome.
814
00:59:13,331 --> 00:59:15,551
How was your first day?
815
01:00:40,767 --> 01:00:43,552
