They ascend into the belly of Air Force One.
MITCHELL:
* I'll be giving
you a brief tour, then during the
flight, two members of your crew
will be allowed out of the press
area at a time for filming. You
will have exactly ten minutes with
the President and twenty with the
crew...
EXT. STREETS OF MOSCOW, PRESIDENT'S MOTORCADE - NIGHT
Winding its way down narrow cobblestone streets onto a major
thoroughfare.
INT. PRESIDENTIAL LIMOUSINE - NIGHT
The limousine is packed with advisers, aides, military staff,
including LT. COL. PERKINS, the keeper of the NUCLEAR FOOTBALL
handcuffed to his wrist. In the b.g. on the limo's television
set, the LARRY KING SHOW indulges in its normal banter.
Marshall wearily rubs his temples as he stifles a yawn.
SHEPHERD:
MARSHALL:
No, no. I'm fine. What did the
Speaker say?
SHEPHERD:
He and the NRA don't like the wording.
DOHERTY:
Apparently taking uzis away from
sixth graders isn't as popular as we
thought it'd be. Representative
Taylor is working on a compromise.
MARSHALL:
Put together a score sheet. I'll
make some calls.
SHEPHERD:
With all due respect, sir, maybe you
should give them this one. Your
numbers are still pretty low and you
called in a lot of chips to nail
Stravanavitch.
MARSHALL:
I might still have a few chips left.
SHEPHERD:
* We could always
put you in a duck blind with a twelve
gauge. The second amendment types'll
love that.
MARSHALL:
This is a crime bill, Shep. Killing
a couple ducks won't get it through
committee. Besides, Shep, I told
you... I don't shoot babies and I
don't kiss guns.
SHEPHERD:
Other way around, sir.
MARSHALL:
(realizing what he
said)
Right... Christ I'm tired. Do me a
favor and keep me away from the press.
Marshall's watch alarm beeps and he automatically reaches
into his breast pocket, pulls out a medicine vial and downs
two pills with a coffee chaser.
On the T.V.
LARRY KING (T.V.)
... and your reaction to the
President's trip to Moscow. Good or
bad?
Shepherd turns up the volume.
SHEPHERD:
This is the part I wanted you to
see.
REP. DANFORTH (T.V.)
Criminal. One of our boys died in
Marshall's little publicity stunt
and for what? So we could claim
victory over another country's
problems instead of our own? And
now he's got the nerve to prance
around Moscow gloating, while that
poor boy's family is left to bury
him. If I were Marshall, I'd be
ashamed of myself.
LARRY KING:
There you have it. Harsh words for
the President from Michael Danforth,
the Speaker of the House.
Marshall mutes the television. A quiet moment.
SHEPHERD:
* My opinion.
We can't let him get away with that
kind of language.
Marshall considers. Then decides.
MARSHALL:
It's bait. Don't take it.
SHEPHERD:
Sir, the Speaker of the House attacked
this administration on national
television. You can't afford to
leave that hanging.
MARSHALL:
(ignoring Shepherd)
Did we tape the Duke game?
AIDE:
It's waiting on the plane. The ending
was pretty...
MARSHALL:
(interrupting)
Please don't tell me. Just for once,
* let me be
surprised.
INT. AIR FORCE ONE, CORRIDOR, TRAVELING - NIGHT
Maria Mitchell escorts the Russians down the plane's length.
As they pass the galley, Maria motions up a set of stairs.
MITCHELL:
Up on the upper deck is the cockpit
and the Mission Communication Center.
The MCC, as we call it, can place
clear and secure phone calls to
anywhere on earth. We're linked to
a network of military and civilian
satellites and ground stations. We
could run the country or run a war
from there if we had to.
KORSHUNOV:
This is a remarkable aircraft.
