And with the help of hard workin' people

like you, we can win this thing.

- Thankyou, Motor City!

[ Chanting] Mackenzie!

Mackenzie! [ Continues ]

[Man ] We're here to discussyourproposed

removal as a disciplinary action.

Your record is exceptional,

but looking at this report...

I have my doubts about your abi I ity

to conti nue as an agent.

I understand.

So please tell this panel why we should

allow you to continue as an agent.

My fatherwas an agent.

- And my grandfatherwas before--

- But they're not the ones

underreview here. You are.

And ifyou had a different father

or grandfather, you wouldn't

have this opportunity.

You know, as a little kid...

I always dreamt about standing on the

sidelines ofhistory, protecting others--

maybe even the president himself.

Well, I had the opportunity

to protect a pretty remarkable person.

Do you have anything to say

to defend your actions?

You trainedme

to expect the unexpected.

And I tried... not to feel anything.

I tried to keep my distance...

but I...

fell deeper... and deeper.

Ifhaving those feelings

means losing myjob...

then that's a loss

I am prepared to take.

You and I know that mistakes made in our

line ofwork could mean someone's life.

So I'm sorry.

You'll be on suspension

pendingyourremoval...

andyou shouldstart to think

about other alternatives.

- [StaffMembers Chattering Low ]

- [ Man ]...his humor, his charisma.

[ Woman ]

Have we confirmed these numbers?

- [ Chatter Continues ]

- And did she sign for them?

- Well, the only thing--

- Well, that's why we chose this venue.

- New Hampshire worked, right?

- We 're not in New Hampshire anymore.

- Most people want to hear

about foreign markets.

- Pardon me.

- Hey. How are you doin'?

- Good.

You okay?

Sam...

you're unhappy.

I get it. But ifyou're going

to be here, be here.

Because there's a lot at stake...

and I really need you to act

like a grown-up right now.

Obviously, I understand

there is a lot at stake, Dad.

I have been standing byyour side

with Mom my entire life.

That's why I came home.

You don't have to tell me how important

it is to be with the peopleyou love.

I am here. Ifyou want me to be

a grown-up, then you have to allow it.

[Tapping On Microphone, Feedback]

- What's goin' on with Sam?

- Uh--

- What is it?

- Well...

rememberwhen she was little

and she found that frog...

and we wouldn't let her keep it...

and she got that really stubborn little...

unbelievably cute look on her face?

- Yes.

- She just made that face again.

Man. Here I am about to go onstage--

she puts her old man in his place.

- Really?

- Yeah. Really.

And?

And, uh--

- I dunno. Good for her.

- [Man ] Willsomeone get the president?

- I dunno. Good for her.

- [Man ] Willsomeone get the president?

- [ Woman ]

It's time to go, Mr. President.

- Ready?

Let's go.

[ Woman On Speaker]

And as for ourpresident,

he's gonna do the same thing...

- to this country that she's done

to her family-- embarrass it.

- [ Switch Clicks ]

[ Press Secretary] With all due respect,

now that we've just taken direct hits...

on the domestic agenda, and it's

the last push before the election--

It's too late to change our position.

I don't thinkwe should address it.

What doyou think, Sam?

- I don't really have an opinion, Dad.

- Really?

Areyou sure?

Well, I don't knowwhat could be

more important than home.

[Press Secretary] Ladies andgentlemen,

the President ofthe United States.

- [Applause ]

- Thanks.

[Applause Continues, Stops ]

- [ Woman ] Mr. President.

- [ Man ] Mr. President.

Afternoon, fol ks.

[ Water Splashing ]

Thought you m ight want a snack.

Made it myself.

- Dad.

- Okay, I had that cake made myself.

How are you doin'?

- Dad?

- Yeah.

I need you to make sure

that James is okay.

He's a good agent.

I'll see what I can do.

Thankyou.

Did you love him?

I loved who I got to be with him.

Even though I didn't do

anything amazing, for me it was.

I felt like I...

knewmyselfforthe first time.

Love?

That too.

That's what I thought.

## [ManAnd Chorus SingingSwing]

- It was a nice speech.

- Thanks.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Both Chuckle ]

Dad, one thing you always taught me...

was to make sure that I'm always at home,

no matterwhat anyone else thinks.

It has to includeyou.

We all deserve a second chance.

It's okay.

[James ]

Give meyour left hand.

What areyou doing?

On my shoulder.

[Engine Starts ]

[Narrator] Once upon a time,

underneath the magic ofthe night sky...

a brazen little girl grew up

in a white house.

- It wasn't until she left

that house, however--

- [ Releases Brake ]

that she truly found home.

College-bound till spring, she'll be back

when the cherry blossoms bloom again.

With romance in the air,

James will be there.
