00:18:43,252 --> 00:18:44,818
[whispers]:
Tell me everything.
354
00:18:44,818 --> 00:18:46,037
There's nothing to tell.
355
00:18:46,124 --> 00:18:48,039
Oh. You can't say that.
356
00:18:48,126 --> 00:18:50,563
Monica, I have been going nuts.
357
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:52,261
I knew it.
358
00:18:52,261 --> 00:18:53,697
Oh, my God.
359
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:55,264
What on earth
have you been going through?
360
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:57,396
I can't imagine.
361
00:19:00,921 --> 00:19:03,489
How long has this been going on?
362
00:19:09,495 --> 00:19:11,193
When did it start?
363
00:19:17,155 --> 00:19:19,679
First, it was just...
public events.
364
00:19:19,723 --> 00:19:22,029
Oh, hey, nice to meet you.
365
00:19:22,073 --> 00:19:24,510
Thank you for everything.
366
00:19:24,597 --> 00:19:26,817
Yeah. Thanks for everything.
367
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:28,862
Thank you.
368
00:19:30,821 --> 00:19:34,303
MONICA:
And when that man focuses
his attention on you,
369
00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:37,262
the world stops.
370
00:19:37,306 --> 00:19:39,395
And it kept happening.
371
00:19:39,482 --> 00:19:41,310
Departure ceremonies,
staff events.
372
00:19:41,397 --> 00:19:42,963
I mean, I was, I was an intern.
373
00:19:43,050 --> 00:19:44,269
Those were the only times
I'd see him.
374
00:19:44,313 --> 00:19:46,184
- You had a pink pass.
- Exactly.
375
00:19:46,271 --> 00:19:49,274
So... for months,
it was just this...
376
00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:51,189
worthless flirtation.
377
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:53,757
And it was intense, but...
378
00:19:53,844 --> 00:19:56,063
I didn't think anything more
would happen and...
379
00:19:56,107 --> 00:19:58,675
And then, one day, the shutdown.
380
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:03,506
Suddenly, I was working
in the West Wing.
381
00:20:03,549 --> 00:20:06,030
BILL:
He says he put that nutty...
382
00:20:06,073 --> 00:20:08,075
MONICA:
And there he was just
a few doors away.
383
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,295
BILL:
...mostly because
his feelings were hurt
384
00:20:10,339 --> 00:20:12,297
that I didn't come
and say hi in the plant?
385
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:13,994
MAN:
Yeah, he and Bob had
to take the back route.
386
00:20:13,994 --> 00:20:16,083
Didn't leave that part out.
387
00:20:16,127 --> 00:20:18,390
BILL:
I mean, that was the exit
that was closest to the cars.
388
00:20:18,434 --> 00:20:20,262
MAN:
It's 4:30 in the morning.
There weren't any cameras.
389
00:20:21,915 --> 00:20:23,439
That's where the cars were,
you know?
390
00:20:23,482 --> 00:20:25,789
We thought
we were doing them a favor.
391
00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:27,051
MONICA:
Mm-hmm.
392
00:20:31,534 --> 00:20:33,623
Yes, sir.
I will inform Mr. Panetta.
393
00:20:38,889 --> 00:20:40,586
Oh, my God.
394
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:42,153
Monica.
395
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,198
I know. You don't understand
396
00:20:44,242 --> 00:20:46,375
how long it had been
building between us.
397
00:20:46,462 --> 00:20:49,029
And how fucking hot it was.
398
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:51,031
I mean, I swear...
Linda.
399
00:20:51,031 --> 00:20:53,382
It was beyond anything
400
00:20:53,469 --> 00:20:56,036
I'd ever felt before.
401
00:20:56,123 --> 00:20:58,430
And I couldn't help myself,
Linda.
402
00:21:00,345 --> 00:21:01,999
Hi, I'm supposed to bring this
403
00:21:02,042 --> 00:21:03,653
to the president.
404
00:21:12,618 --> 00:21:15,186
Mr. President, the girl's here
with the pizza.
405
00:21:15,273 --> 00:21:17,406
Oh, great.
406
00:21:17,406 --> 00:21:19,756
Come on in.
407
00:21:21,714 --> 00:21:23,716
I can't believe it.
408
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,066
Well, that makes two of us.
409
00:21:26,066 --> 00:21:27,633
It's incredible.
410
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,287
It is.
411
00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:32,072
Though you never know who's
412
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:34,814
coming through
any of these doors.
413
00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:37,121
Do you want to get a Diet Coke?
414
00:21:40,733 --> 00:21:42,431
MONICA:
It was magnetic.
415
00:21:42,518 --> 00:21:44,433
It was unstoppable.
416
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:47,218
And I-I couldn't breathe
around him.
417
00:21:47,305 --> 00:21:49,960
It was...
418
00:21:50,003 --> 00:21:52,223
It was beyond anything I'd...
419
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:54,443
ever experienced.
420
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:09,327
Thank you.
421
00:22:09,414 --> 00:22:12,112
You haven't had any dinner yet?
422
00:22:12,112 --> 00:22:15,638
My days are a little...
nutty sometimes.
423
00:22:15,681 --> 00:22:18,249
What? Like you have
a stressful job or...?
424
00:22:18,249 --> 00:22:20,947
[both chuckle]
425
00:22:20,991 --> 00:22:23,515
I mean, if I can be honest,
you work from home.
426
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,126
I don't know what you really
have to complain about.
427
00:22:26,213 --> 00:22:29,260
Well, it can get
a little lonesome
428
00:22:29,347 --> 00:22:31,305
some days.
429
00:22:31,349 --> 00:22:33,264
"Lonesome"?
[chuckles]
430
00:22:33,351 --> 00:22:35,440
Try being a single girl in D.C.
431
00:22:35,484 --> 00:22:37,790
Every guy is either
a compulsive name-dropper
432
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:41,577
- or secretly gay.
- Well, if it's that bleak, uh,
433
00:22:41,577 --> 00:22:43,100
I'm in the office here
on the weekends
434
00:22:43,143 --> 00:22:45,102
when there's less staff.
435
00:22:45,145 --> 00:22:47,409
If you want,
you can come see me.
436
00:22:49,062 --> 00:22:50,673
What do I do?
437
00:22:50,716 --> 00:22:52,065
Just knock on the front door
of the White House?
438
00:22:52,152 --> 00:22:54,154
Just talk to Betty.
439
00:22:54,198 --> 00:22:55,982
You met out there.
440
00:22:57,201 --> 00:22:59,333
Or you could call me?
441
00:22:59,377 --> 00:23:02,249
Well, what if your mom answers?
442
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:04,687
I have my own line.
443
00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:06,428
[laughs]
444
00:23:08,952 --> 00:23:10,649
- You...
- What?
445
00:23:13,173 --> 00:23:15,219
You made my day better.
446
00:23:16,525 --> 00:23:19,092
I bet you don't even
remember my name.
447
00:23:20,529 --> 00:23:23,532
What kind of name
is Lewinsky anyway?
448
00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:25,664
Jewish.
449
00:23:31,191 --> 00:23:32,889
It was...
450
00:23:32,889 --> 00:23:35,631
incredible.
451
00:23:35,718 --> 00:23:38,285
Except for the whole
"him being married" thing.
452
00:23:38,329 --> 00:23:40,244
I tried not to think about that.
453
00:23:41,724 --> 00:23:44,814
We would come up
with reasons for me
454
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:46,990
-to pop into his office.
- Eagle is on his way.
455
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:49,688
Or secretly plan
to run into each other.
456
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:54,998
- Hey, Monica.
- Hello, Mr. President.
457
00:23:54,998 --> 00:23:57,217
You going to Leg Affairs?
458
00:23:57,304 --> 00:23:59,437
- Yes, sir.
- Come with me.
459
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:01,439
I'll show you a shortcut.
460
00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:03,354
But it-it wasn't only about...
461
00:24:03,441 --> 00:24:05,182
[chuckles]
462
00:24:05,225 --> 00:24:07,010
You know, we'd sit and talk.
463
00:24:07,097 --> 00:24:09,752
He'd give me gifts.
I'd give him gifts.
464
00:24:09,795 --> 00:24:12,015
Like, I bought him
this Zegna tie.
465
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:14,583
Sometimes he would wear it to an
event and ask me if I noticed.
466
00:24:14,583 --> 00:24:16,498
It was...
467
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:20,806
It was the best five months
of my life.
468
00:24:22,808 --> 00:24:24,462
And then?
469
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:26,464
Then April 5th,
470
00:24:26,551 --> 00:24:28,466
my boss called me
into his office,
471
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:30,120
and told me I was being moved
to the Pentagon.
472
00:24:30,163 --> 00:24:31,469
Someone knew.
473
00:24:31,469 --> 00:24:33,253
I guess I'd been spotted
around the Oval
474
00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:34,690
one too many times.
475
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:35,995
You know that place--
people talk.
476
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,041
- It's terrible.
- Yeah, and this is the part
477
00:24:38,041 --> 00:24:40,913
- that makes me upset because...
- Monica.
478
00:24:40,957 --> 00:24:42,611
Monica, you don't have
to tell me.
479
00:24:42,698 --> 00:24:45,135
No, it's fine, I...
480
00:24:45,178 --> 00:24:46,963
When I moved over here,
he called me a lot, at first.
481
00:24:48,704 --> 00:24:51,228
He invited my family to meet him
at a radio address
482
00:24:51,271 --> 00:24:53,230
when they were in town,
and when I went to Bosnia
483
00:24:53,273 --> 00:24:55,058
with Mr. Bacon,
he called the day
484
00:24:55,145 --> 00:24:57,060
I got home
to ask how it had gone.
485
00:24:57,147 --> 00:24:59,584
I still felt connected to him.
486
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:01,804
And then the calls
487
00:25:01,847 --> 00:25:04,023
got less and less frequent.
488
00:25:04,067 --> 00:25:06,504
And now I realized...
489
00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,288
Occam's razor, Monica.
490
00:25:08,332 --> 00:25:10,377
He'd lost interest.
491
00:25:10,421 --> 00:25:12,162
And when he ever did call me,
it was probably just
492
00:25:12,205 --> 00:25:14,512
because he wanted to keep me
quiet through the election.
493
00:25:14,556 --> 00:25:16,906
- Mm.
-[Monica inhales deeply]
494
00:25:16,949 --> 00:25:18,951
My friends think I basically
need to be institutionalized
495
00:25:18,995 --> 00:25:21,388
because I barely go anywhere.
496
00:25:21,432 --> 00:25:24,087
And I have all these dumb gifts
just sitting in my apartment,
497
00:25:24,087 --> 00:25:26,742
waiting for the day he brings
me back to the White House
498
00:25:26,785 --> 00:25:29,875
like he promised and...
499
00:25:29,962 --> 00:25:32,399
now I realize
that's never gonna happen.
500
00:25:32,443 --> 00:25:34,967
It's over.
501
00:25:35,011 --> 00:25:37,666
And so I'm flying to Portland.
502
00:25:39,232 --> 00:25:41,017
To see my friend Cat
and try and relax.
503
00:25:41,017 --> 00:25:43,323
And...
504
00:25:43,410 --> 00:25:44,847
just try to stop
thinking about him
505
00:25:44,890 --> 00:25:47,589
for one single fucking minute.
506
00:25:50,374 --> 00:25:52,811
Linda, I feel so stupid.
507
00:25:55,118 --> 00:25:57,207
[Monica sniffles]
508
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,383
I feel so stupid.
509
00:26:01,907 --> 00:26:03,996
I'm sorry to unload all this.
510
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,824
I can't imagine
what you're thinking.
511
00:26:09,045 --> 00:26:11,003
Well...
512
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:13,266
to be honest...
513
00:26:13,353 --> 00:26:15,791
listening to all this,
514
00:26:15,791 --> 00:26:17,836
this sounds
like it is absolutely...
515
00:26:20,056 --> 00:26:22,014
-...not over.
- What?
516
00:26:22,058 --> 00:26:23,450
Trust me, it's done.
517
00:26:23,494 --> 00:26:25,496
It's not done, Monica.
518
00:26:27,454 --> 00:26:29,718
What you're describing
sounds real.
519
00:26:29,805 --> 00:26:31,241
You think you're stuck in exile
520
00:26:31,284 --> 00:26:33,112
because he doesn't
have feelings for you?
521
00:26:33,156 --> 00:26:35,245
You have it backwards.
522
00:26:35,288 --> 00:26:37,377
My ex-friend Kathleen,
523
00:26:37,421 --> 00:26:39,379
they were always flirting.
524
00:26:39,466 --> 00:26:40,511
She had a crush.
One day, he kissed her.
525
00:26:40,511 --> 00:26:42,513
She wasn't sent away.
526
00:26:42,513 --> 00:26:44,602
You?
527
00:26:44,602 --> 00:26:46,169
You're sitting here
in the Pentagon right now
528
00:26:46,212 --> 00:26:48,301
because you were
529
00:26:48,301 --> 00:26:51,348
a threat, Monica.
530
00:26:51,391 --> 00:26:54,177
We both know there are

We're a nonprofit that advocates

and said she knew who I was.

And I thought,
oh, my gosh, how nice.
604
00:30:51,762 --> 00:30:54,721
And she told me that she thought
I was being treated poorly.

And Susie was thinking maybe
I could do some TV appearances

00:32:12,625 --> 00:32:15,063
since no one on TV is saying
my side of things.
636

I would not advise going on TV.

All that matters right now
is the Supreme Court.

that made it legal

I'm not worried
about the liberals.
654
00:32:54,406 --> 00:32:56,321
They've argued for decades
that a president
655
00:32:56,321 --> 00:32:58,323
should be treated
like an ordinary citizen.
656
00:32:58,323 --> 00:33:00,064
They have to take Paula's side.

Not as though the country was
founded on that exact concept.

MAN [on TV]:
On May 8, 1991,
720
00:35:28,169 --> 00:35:30,345
Paula Jones,
a state employee
721
00:35:30,432 --> 00:35:33,348
with the Arkansas Industrial
Development Commission,
722
00:35:33,435 --> 00:35:35,088
was working
the registration desk
723
00:35:35,132 --> 00:35:36,916
for the Governor's
Quality Management Conference
724
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,092
at the Excelsior Hotel.
725
00:35:39,136 --> 00:35:41,791
Governor Bill Clinton was
to be the main speaker.
726
00:35:41,834 --> 00:35:45,055
He tried to lean in
on me and grab...
727
00:35:45,142 --> 00:35:47,275
Well, he-he...
728
00:35:47,362 --> 00:35:49,886
he tried to put
his hand up my leg.
729
00:35:49,929 --> 00:35:51,714
And it... which I...
730
00:35:51,801 --> 00:35:54,151
It all happened so fast.
731
00:35:54,238 --> 00:35:57,720
And Bill Clinton asked me
to perform oral sex,
732
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,287
which I declined.
733
00:36:00,940 --> 00:36:02,899
And I told the governor I'm not
734
00:36:02,942 --> 00:36:05,336
that kind of girl
and I walked right out.
735
00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:08,252
I went to my desk. I told
my coworker the whole story.
736
00:36:08,296 --> 00:36:09,949
And that is what happened.
737
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:11,516
Isn't that right?
738
00:36:11,603 --> 00:36:14,040
Yes, Paula.
739
00:36:14,084 --> 00:36:17,348
My husband's very outraged.

I'm just... I'm just glad
I wasn't there,

-I can tell you that.
- Me too.
742
00:36:20,873 --> 00:36:23,702
Gil and Joe said never
show this ever to anyone,
743
00:36:23,746 --> 00:36:26,531
but this is a real video
744
00:36:26,618 --> 00:36:29,186
sold by the Reverend
Jerry Falwell at his churches.
745
00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:32,276
Oh. Okay.
746
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,060
And I was thinking
about what you said.

this out there more--
748
00:36:36,019 --> 00:36:38,630
if it was on TV, you know,
749
00:36:38,674 --> 00:36:40,763
people would see my side.
750
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:43,331
Um... I don't know,
what do you think?
751
00:36:44,810 --> 00:36:46,986

he did call, but he said,

you remind me of The Face
